A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 438

Monty barked as he leaped up, charging towards the exit.

Valerian thought about how someone had pulled strings to keep him from seeing Lisette. She was now under heavy surveillance, supposedly for national security reasons or some other wild excuse...

The accusations were as big as a barn door. Without Calliope's help, there was no way they'd get Lisette out. Heck, even catching a glimpse of her would be a Herculean task.

Valerian hustled after Monty, both of them rushing over to where Calliope stood waiting at the elevator. Both father and son skidded to a halt in front of her.

"We agree to your terms!" Monty blurted out. "Callie, we agree! Just don't leave us hanging!"

"Calliope, you're really heartless!" Valerian snapped, his face a thundercloud. "Can you really stand by while Lisette is locked up for life? Do you really need us to beg?"

Valerian's defiance was still evident. "We're family, for Pete's sake, and this is how you treat us?"

Calliope glanced at Valerian. "Sure, I can stand by. Lisette's lifelong lock-up doesn't really concern me. We're not exactly close."

She shrugged nonchalantly. "You don't have to beg. It's your call. Go ahead, rescue Lisette yourself! Wasn't it you who said I'm a wicked woman? And someone wicked naturally wouldn't rescue someone for no reason."

Her gaze was steady and unflinching as it focused on Valerian.

Valerian's fists were clenched, his face a stormy shade of gray.
