A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 850

"You’re always saying Mom and Dad play favorites, always whining our brothers get special treatment! Are they really playing favorites? How exactly are they favoring anyone?"

Lisette let out a cold little laugh. "You’re not even their real daughter. You were the one pretending in the first place. I bet Mom and Dad have always known something was off, which is probably why they never liked you much."

Then Zelda chimed in, her voice sharp. "Calliope, I could let it slide that you pretended to be my daughter. But the things that belong to the Jewell family? It’s time you give them back."

The whole Jewell clan stood there, looking all righteous and smug, their words hitting Calliope like little darts. Every single word was meant to tear her down.

Portia, who’d been watching the scene unfold, snorted. She glanced at Calliope, shaking her head with disbelief. "Honestly, I don’t know how you put up with this. The Jewells have no shame."

Calliope’s face stayed calm. "You see enough of this, you get used to it."

Portia folded her arms, frowning. "Yeah… I almost want to spit on them. You going up there?"

"Not yet," Calliope said with the faintest smirk. "Let them finish their sob story first."

She could tell the crowd wasn’t riled up enough yet. She’d wait until Lisette and the rest had squeezed out every last tear, milked every ounce of sympathy they could.

Portia nodded. "Yeah, makes sense. Let them have their moment."

On stage, Lisette and her crew were really turning on the waterworks, acting like they were the victims of the century.

Down below, the reporters had their cameras out, snapping away, while Lisette’s fans and a whole lot of people who only cared about the Jewell family because of Ulysses were getting more and more worked up.

"This is outrageous! How cruel can you get!"

"They just found out their real daughter died, and the one they loved all these years was an imposter. Imagine the pain!"

"I know, it’s heartbreaking! How could anyone do this to them?"

"I used to feel sorry for Calliope. Thought she was the neglected real daughter, but now? She had it coming."

"Yeah, what kind of person pretends to be someone else’s kid? That’s just sick."
