A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 257 "What? Giving the inheritance to the adopted daughter over the biological one? That mother must be out of her mind!"

"Yeah, kneeling and begging doesn't make it right, does it?"

The people around had mixed reactions to Calliope's words. Some began to see Calliope had a point for not wanting to help.

Calliope gave Zelda and Valerian a knowing wink and smiled slightly, "In life, you should at least try to be fair. First, you call me a jinx and then favor your adopted daughter over me, and now you ask for my help? Aren't you ashamed?"

With that, she turned on her heel and walked away.

Noticing the crowd's shifting attitude, Zelda stood up in anger. "Calliope, just wait and see!"

Calliope didn't look back. She got into her car and drove home.

Halfway there, her phone rang. It was Uriah.

"Where are you?" Uriah Stewart's voice came through the phone, carrying a hint of seriousness.

"On my way home," Calliope replied, puzzled. "Is there something going on, Mr. Stewart?"

"Not with me, but your husband seems to have been in a pickle." Uriah's voice was steady. "Could you swing by Midnight Romance? I'm waiting for you here."

"Okay." Calliope frowned slightly.
