A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 882

The two of them finished their cake and chatted for a while.

After their coffee, they decided to stroll around the mall for a bit.

Calliope definitely hadn’t expected to run into Lisette and Zelda.

The pair were shopping together, and Zelda kept fussing over Lisette, helping her pick out jewelry.

When Portia spotted them, her face soured instantly. “What are they doing here? Shopping like they don’t have a care in the world—someone must’ve helped them out, and now they’ve got money again!”

Before Calliope could say anything to Portia, Zelda and Lisette noticed them too.

Lisette shot Calliope a cold, smug smirk.

“Well, well, Calliope, what a surprise! Didn’t expect to bump into us, did you?”

“You thought that after you left the Jewell family and stirred up all that drama, we’d just go down the drain?”

“Hate to break it to you, but ever since you, our so-called bad luck charm, walked out, the Jewell family’s been on a winning streak!”

“Things only got better after you left. Isn’t that right, Mom?”

Lisette was practically gloating, her tone dripping with arrogance.

Portia’s lips twitched. “Who’s helping you guys out?”

Lisette just snorted. “Why should I tell you? Planning to mess things up for us? Sorry, but you two aren’t exactly a threat.”

Zelda glanced at Calliope with thinly veiled disdain before turning to Lisette, her voice soft and doting.

“Lisette, how about this bracelet? It really suits you. Let me get it for you, sweetheart.”

Calliope just looked at her coolly. “If you want to call trash ‘Mom,’ that’s your business. Garbage suits garbage. Not my thing.”

Portia snorted. “Lisette, aren’t you a little old to still be clinging to Mommy?”

“All grown up and still chanting ‘my mom loves me, my mom loves me’—can’t survive without her?”

“And Zelda—she might be blind, but you, Lisette, have a heart of stone. No wonder you two get along so well.”

“These little bracelets? Please. I could get Callie here ten of those if she wanted.”

“Honestly, Callie could buy out this whole store if she felt like it.”
