A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 503

The Next Day

Calliope headed into the office early. She took care of a few things—emails, a call from legal, the usual—when suddenly, Lance appeared.

This time, he’d left the whole helicopter stunt behind and just rolled up in a sports car, with an entire convoy of flashy vehicles trailing behind him. Subtlety clearly wasn’t in his vocabulary.

He strode straight into Jewell Group.

As luck would have it, he bumped into Valerian Jewell at reception. Valerian had definitely heard of Lance—how could he not, after the infamous helicopter landing on the company lawn last month?

Security was about to stop Lance at the entrance, but Valerian recognized him right away and figured he was here for Calliope. So, with a resigned sigh, Valerian led Lance inside.

They stepped into the elevator together, and Lance gave Valerian a once-over, eyebrows raised.

“You know Callie?” Lance asked.

“She’s my sister,” Valerian replied evenly.

Lance scratched at his ear, puzzled. “Your sister? Huh. Weird, I’ve never seen you around. Her brothers I’ve met are all… well, kind of a big deal.”

He sized Valerian up, then suddenly lunged at him—just out of nowhere.

Valerian didn’t even have time to react before Lance had him pinned, like it was nothing.

Lance let go, frowning. “You sure you’re her brother? She’s a total badass. No offense, but you don’t really scream ‘family resemblance.’”

He clicked his tongue, thinking. “Her brothers are supposed to be legends. And, you know… pretty easy on the eyes. I was actually kinda curious to meet them! You don’t look anything like her.”

He grinned, completely unfiltered. “Actually, you’re way less good-looking than she is.”

Valerian was about ready to explode. “Those ‘brothers’ you’re talking about are probably her honorary brothers. I’m her real brother. Like, actually related.”
