A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 862

Lisette shivered, her nerves getting the best of her. She didn't dare say a word- just kept her head down, fidgeting awkwardly.

"Ma'am, are they giving you trouble?"

Silas turned to Calliope, his voice rising with protective energy. "Who's bothering you? Just say the word, and I'll make sure they regret it for the rest of their lives."

Calliope looked up at him, a little surprised. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Like we'd just sit back and do nothing," Silas replied, his tone softening as he glanced around at Valerian and the others. Then his gaze swept over the crowd- reporters, fans, everyone.

"Is everyone clear now?" he asked, voice ringing out. "Does anyone here still think my wife scammed the Jewell family?"

He shot a pointed look at the crowd. "What could the Jewell family possibly have that my wife would want to steal? Am I not wealthy enough? Every cent I make, I'd hand over to her in a heartbeat. You really think she'd stoop to swindle the Jewell family for their leftovers?"

The crowd fell silent, exchanging awkward glances.
