A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 217 "Yvette, you little sneak! How could you keep your wedding a secret from me? I heard you're marrying into the wealthy Baker family of Capitalton. What, are you scared I'd ask you for money, so you decided to keep me in the dark?"

Trevor Langley burst in, grabbing a fistful of Yvette's hair as he shouted.

Yvette's head jerked back, and she let out a shriek of pain. Tears sprang to her eyes. "Dad, that hurts! Dad... no, I wasn't trying to hide it from you! I just hadn't gotten around to telling you yet!"

"Hadn't gotten around to it? What nonsense! You just think I'm an embarrassment! You invited everyone else but left me out! What do you take me for?

You are my damn child, remember that! Without me, you'd be nothing! I heard you gave your mom's side some money, but nothing for me? What, is she your real parent and I'm not?"

Yvette's eyes were red with pain, and she cried out, "I'll give you the money, just please let go! You're going to rip my scalp off!"

Calliope watched, feeling her own scalp tingle in sympathy. Yvette's father was a real piece of work. But she found it amusing in a way. Neither Yvette nor her father were saints, so watching them fight wasn't exactly a tragedy.

Trevor finally released Yvette's hair, pull over a chair and plopped into it, picking up a toothpick to idly clean his teeth.
