A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 122

"You think I'm just a troublemaker, a real piece of work, so you blame everything on me? So, it doesn't matter whether you know the truth or not, you're just here to defend Lisette anyway.

Yeah, sure, I'm the one who made Lisette lose it, so what will you do about it?" Calliope sat in her chair with calm defiance, staring at the two people before her. A group of burly guys stood behind Calliope, loyal to her as if she were their leader.

The more they listened, the angrier they got, each wearing a frown that threatened to break into a fight at any moment.

How could they say Calliope was in the wrong? She was the best person in the world, and there was no way she'd hurt someone for no reason!

"That Lisette is nothing but trouble, and you all are too blind to see who's good and who's not!" "Yeah, as if Callie would even bother with her. If Lisette dares to come to our diner again, I'll kick her out myself!"
