A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 251 Calliope stood there, her expression as blank as a freshly painted wall, staring at Valerian. "I haven't considered myself part of the Jewell family for a long time."

"Calliope, have you lost your sense of decency?" Zelda was practically vibrating with anger, itching to lash out but fully aware she couldn't take Calliope in a fair fight.

"I'm not asking for much. Just help Horatio with his legs! Are you going to leave him hanging like this? He's your brother by blood! Your family! Aren't you even going to try to find the Miracle Doctor to fix his leg?"

Calliope raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Zelda's desperation. "Funny, huh? You all said I wasn't fit to be the Jewell family. And now, suddenly, I'm supposed to care because we're family?"

"Sure, I can help. But it'll cost you. Give me shares in the Jewell Group, and I'll see what I can do. I not only know the whereabouts of the Miracle Doctor, but we're on pretty good terms. I can ask her to help out."

Her words were like a sharp jab, leaving Zelda and Valerian frustrated.

Valerian looked at her, disbelief etched on his face. "Calliope, are you seriously trying to take advantage of this situation? Trading our brother's legs for company shares? That's low, even for you."

Seething, Zelda added, "Exactly! Dream on! We're not handing the shares to you! Just tell us where she is, and I'll give you 100,000 dollars for the address!"

Calliope shrugged nonchalantly. "100,000 dollars? That's pocket change for Lisette in a year. You need to up your offer."
