A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 808

Silas ignored him completely. Quentin and the others all glanced at Calliope.

After all, it wasn't every day Ulysses spoke like a normal person. He actually considered Callie's feelings, so he didn't start an argument with them.

Calliope shot them a look, silently telling everyone not to compete with Ulysses. She was curious to see if he was just talking big or if he really meant it.

She found it hard to believe he'd actually give her this insanely expensive painting. There was no way Ulysses had that kind of money.

But Silas and the rest, of course, listened to Calliope.

Mavis Shepherd and Portia Sutton exchanged surprised glances at Ulysses. He actually seemed sincere about Calliope, which was, well, a shock.

The auction kicked off. To everyone's surprise, Ulysses actually raised his paddle.

Horatio, sitting beside him, was a bit more level-headed. He tried to quietly talk Ulysses down.

"Uly, this is way over our budget. We can't afford it!"
