A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 455

Lance stood on the helicopter, looking a bit hurt as he glanced at Calliope. "Alright then, I'll come back for you in two days."

He threw her a charming wink and blew a kiss before the helicopter took off into the sky.

Once the helicopter was out of sight, Calliope closed the window and turned around to find everyone staring at her with expressions that were a mix of awe and disbelief.

It was hard not to be impressed, after all, it was the infamous JK Group. Their reputation was built on some, let's say, less-than-legal activities back in the day, including arms deals...

Not only was JK Group still a powerhouse, but they were known for their once fearsome reputation.

Everyone silently wondered how she had known someone from the JK Group. Wasn't she supposed to be the one with no skills, the underdog? Yet here she was, with such impressive connections.

"Ms. Jewell, do you really know someone from the JK Group? That was the youngest son, right?" someone finally mustered the courage to ask. "Are you close with him?"

Calliope nodded. "You could say that. I did save his life once."

The room went silent. Well, that explained it.

Everyone exchanged glances, suddenly realizing that Calliope's network was much more formidable than they had imagined. Even the second-in-line successor of JK Group owed her one. It even seemed like he was a bit intimidated by her. Clearly, she was more than capable.

Recalling the project proposals Calliope had presented, it dawned on them that she was indeed quite competent.

"Ms. Jewell, we have great respect for you!"

"We're counting on you to lead the company to greater heights!"

"Indeed, Ms. Jewell, you're so exceptional, perfect for managing the company!"
