A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 316

Since Lisette first came to the Jewell family, she couldn’t stand Calliope. It was as if Calliope had everything handed to her on a silver platter while she had to claw her way up from the bottom.

Back then, she was a shadow of herself timid and insecure, always afraid to accept the kindness of the Jewell family. She constantly wanted to prove herself, often helping with chores, desperate for approval.
