A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 831

Calliope shot Lisette a wry, almost amused glance. “Lisette, do you have any proof? Anything at all to show that I poisoned Grandpa?”

Lisette just scoffed. “Grandpa’s death was suspicious, and I know it was you! You wanted the inheritance, didn’t you?”

She turned sharply to the police officers nearby. “Officers, Calliope is a fraud. Please, take her in for questioning. Make sure you do a thorough job.”

Lisette had planned all of this in advance.

The cops she’d called—well, their sergeant was a friend of hers. She’d already whispered to him to make things a little extra uncomfortable for Calliope.

“Ms. Jewell, we’re going to need you to come with us,” one of the officers said, eyeing Calliope carefully.

Calliope could read Lisette’s expression like an open book. It was obvious she knew these officers and had set this up. But instead of protesting, Calliope just got up, calm and cooperative.

“I’ll come with you,” she said, picking up her phone and quickly shooting off a text before she followed the police out.

Lisette narrowed her eyes, surprised by Calliope’s composure. She’d expected Calliope to lose her cool or cause a scene. Instead, her calm cooperation actually made everything trickier. After all, there was no real evidence—no proof of murder or fraud. This would only buy them a little time, not solve anything.

Once Calliope had left, the people in the conference room all threw Lisette dirty looks. Disgusted, they stood and left, grumbling among themselves until only Monty and a few others remained.
