A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 937

Blythe swallowed hard, fear choking off any further protest. She dreaded letting her parents down, but she truly couldn’t stand Calliope—not only because of Silas, but now because of her own family. Her parents kept taking Calliope’s side.

They had always supported her, never questioning her version of events, but with Calliope, everything changed. Now they were scolding her for Calliope’s sake, and it stung.

“I’m sorry...” Blythe swallowed her pride and finally apologized to Jett and Mrs. White. She knew there was no point arguing with them—they clearly thought the world of Calliope, and nothing would convince them otherwise.

“Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. I acted on impulse. I realize I was wrong,” Blythe said, eyes dropping to the floor. “It won’t happen again. From now on, I’ll just watch quietly.”

Jett and Mrs. White both nodded in approval. “Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step to making them right.”

Meanwhile, Calliope kept bidding, one item after another. As the auction neared its end, no one dared to challenge her; every time she raised her paddle, the room fell silent.

The crowd buzzed with speculation.

“Who is she, anyway?”

“Just how rich is she? She’s practically buying out half the auction. Has she lost her mind?”

“I swear, it’s like she wants every single item!”

“Does she actually have the funds to pay for all this?”

“I’m honestly starting to panic. What if she goes after the lot I want? There’s no way I can beat her.”

“She’s incredible... This is real buying power.”

Monty blinked, chastened. “When you put it that way…”

“Don’t say things like that. Lisette’s done plenty for our family, hasn’t she?” Valerian muttered.

“You’re right...” Monty nodded, forcing himself to be quiet. “Better not let Lisette hear me say anything else. We can’t afford to upset her, not with the company relying on her right now.”

Monty fell silent. Horatio, meanwhile, watched Calliope with a thoughtful, almost wistful expression.

He, too, couldn’t believe how formidable she was. Just one of the items she’d bought tonight was far beyond his means. Remembering their past, he felt a sting of shame—how they’d once been so cold to her, convinced she was just after their money. In reality, all she’d ever wanted was a family. All those suspicions just seemed laughable now.

Horatio couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret for how things might have been.
