A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 250

"What the hell?"

"Did you tell that little brat to go after Lisette?"

Zelda seethed, and her teeth clenched in barely restrained fury.

"Because of you, Lisette's arm will never be the same! Calliope, how could you be so cruel?"

Calliope let out a soft chuckle, tilting her head slightly.

"Watch your mouth, Zelda. Who are you calling a 'little brat'? Or do you prefer to be called an 'old hag'?"

"Calliope! Show some respect. She’s your mother!" Valerian snapped, his face dark with anger.

"My mother?" Calliope arched a brow, lips curling into a smirk. "No, I don't have a mother."

She crossed her arms and leaned back lazily against the counter.

"And don’t start the whole ‘Lisette did nothing wrong’ act. She brought this on herself. Lisette had the brilliant idea to mess with Baber, the Thorne family's golden boy, the one no one in this city dares to cross. She chose to poke the bear. Losing just an arm? She got off easy.”

“That was assault! Are you seriously suggesting she should just take it? What, do you want her thrown in jail for this?" Calliope shrugged. "But she won’t walk out with a spotless reputation if she lands in prison. That’s for sure."

Zelda yanked her hand back, glaring. "You and Upton are close. And you're tight with that little rat, too. Why the hell would you do this to Lisette?"

Calliope gave Zelda an unreadable look. "You said it yourself. I’m close to them. Of course, I have their backs. Lisette screwed up, and now you're trying to make it my problem? Please. Maybe you should worry about your company instead of finding fault with me. Did you think Upton would let this go so easily?"
