A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 928

Nigel’s expression was frosty, his whole demeanor issuing a clear warning: if Jett intended to try anything, he’d have to go through him first.

“I thought you didn’t get along with Silas,” Jett said with a quizzical brow, “and yet you seem awfully concerned about his wife. Why do you care so much?”

Nigel’s face hardened. “Mr. White, let’s not jump to conclusions. There’s nothing more between us than a friendship. If you’re looking for specifics—she once saved my life. That’s it. The most you could say is that she’s my benefactor, and I’m the man she helped—nothing more.”

“Of course, if she and Silas ever split, maybe things would be different,” he added, shrugging with affected indifference, “but for now, nothing’s changed.”

“Alright, I get it,” Jett replied after sizing Nigel up for a beat. He was about to follow after Calliope, but Nigel clamped a strong hand down on his shoulder.

“Mr. White, why are you following her?” Nigel demanded. “You’re not planning to hassle a young woman, are you? She’s just an up-and-comer, hardly your equal.”

“You’re getting the wrong idea, I just want to ask her a few questions,” Jett replied.

“I can handle losing,” he added, glancing thoughtfully at Nigel. “Seems like she’s pretty well-liked, though. You and Silas can’t stand each other, but you both get along with her. Just earlier, she was having dinner with that whole group, and they all seemed to think highly of her.”

“So what?” Nigel shot back. “She’s decent, so people like her. Simple as that.”

“Fair enough—no hidden agenda, I just think she’s impressive. And interesting,” Jett said. “Nigel, let me go—I need to speak with her. You have nothing to worry about, I’m not going to hurt her or cause her any trouble.”
