A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 360

"What's wrong? Is my being here making you all uncomfortable?" Calliope asked, glancing around the table.

"If you're not happy about it, I can just leave," she offered, starting to rise from her chair.

Monty reached out to stop her. "Callie, that's not what we meant. Don't be so sensitive."

Valerian looked at Calliope with a sneer. "Calliope, we know about everything you mentioned. But is it really that important? So what if you let Lisette have the swing? Or gave her a room? You still have your own room, right?"

"And sure, Lisette might've taken some credit. But is the credit really what matters here? Horatio can walk now, isn't that what counts? Does it really matter who treated him? Even if we mistakenly thought it was Lisette who helped, she never asked for any special treatment. So why is it different with you?"

Calliope raised her eyes, amused by Valerian's words.

Did she really care about all that? These people were unreasonable, and she didn't want to waste her breath on them.

She simply smiled, took a sip of water, and listened quietly without responding. Seeing Calliope's lack of reaction, Valerian lost interest and stopped talking.
