A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 948

What could possibly be going on between Calliope and Nigel?

Damien was standing right there, and everyone knew he was Silas's right-hand man.

If Mr. Myers didn’t think the world of Calliope, there’s no way he’d have assigned Damien to keep an eye on her.

And if Damien himself was defending Calliope, there couldn’t possibly be any fire behind this smoke.

Clearly, Lisette was just making things up.

“That Miss Lisette must be spreading rumors because she can’t measure up to Calliope in the slightest,” Damien said, a chuckle threading through his words. “No wonder she’ll always come up short. Slandering others is the only talent she has, it seems.”

The crowd around them nodded, their suspicion rapidly turning to mockery. People began eyeing Lisette with open scorn, as if they couldn’t believe how ridiculous she was being.

“What a nasty piece of work—smearing someone out of spite.”

“Gossip like that could ruin a marriage!”

“Absolutely. Sure, Mr. Myers and Nigel are rivals, but neither of them would ever stoop so low.”

“Exactly.”

Lisette, meanwhile, was suffocating—literally and figuratively. It was only then that Valerian finally rushed forward, frantic. “Mr. Howell, let her go! She can’t breathe!”

Nigel’s lips curled into a cold, dangerous grin. He fixed Valerian with a steely glare. “Watch her, you fool. If she ever comes after me again, I’ll take your precious Jewell family down with her. All the way to hell.”

With that, he shoved Lisette back to Valerian with little ceremony, then accepted a moist towelette from Leland and scrubbed his hands vigorously, as if ridding himself of something filthy.

Lisette collapsed into Valerian’s arms, sliding all the way to the floor. She was trembling uncontrollably, gasping, her eyes bright with tears of desperation. A dark stain spread quickly beneath her on the polished floor.
