A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 306

"What did you mean by that?" Valerian snapped with frustration.

Calliope chuckled softly, "I meant it literally. I'm genuinely impressed. I should learn from Lisette how to say something and have the whole family rally around me."

She leaned closer, scrutinizing the group before her. "Don't you think you got a bit carried away earlier?"

"I never said Lisette had to leave the Jewell family, did I? She brought it up herself," Calliope shrugged. "She decided to leave on her own. I didn't use that as leverage. Whether she leaves or not, I don't know the Mr. Lopez you're talking about, and I won't help."

"Oh, by the way, I'm already out of the Jewell family whether she leaves. I have no ties with the Jewell family anymore. Do you want me to show you the signed papers again? You've all signed it, remember?"

Calliope rested her chin in her hand, looking innocently at them. "I got kicked out of the Jewell family. How could I influence whether Lisette stays or goes? Am I that powerful?"

Monty and his sons were dumbstruck by her words. It dawned on them that Calliope hadn't threatened anyone. Lisette had jumped to conclusions, and they'd assumed she was getting bullied. But in reality, that wasn't the case.

The four of them exchanged uneasy glances before turning to Lisette. Still, their focus quickly shifted back to Mr. Lopez.
