A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 788

Just then, out of nowhere, Zelda suddenly appeared. She spotted her youngest son talking with Calliope and a few others. She had no clue what was going on, but saw a crowd on Calliope’s side and her son standing there alone. Instantly, she jumped to conclusions: her poor boy must be getting picked on.

Without a second thought, Zelda stormed over. She immediately started yelling.

“Calliope, what are you doing? Are you bullying Uly? He’s your brother for heaven’s sake! Are you ganging up on him with those random guys?”

Zelda was absolutely furious, hurling accusations at Calliope without a pause. She even protectively stepped in front of Ulysses, glaring daggers at Calliope as if she were the Big Bad Wolf.

Calliope just stood there, at a total loss for words.

Sometimes, when you’re so speechless, all you can do is laugh.

She hadn’t even opened her mouth before Zelda launched her verbal attack. And what the heck did she mean by “random guys”?

“Mom, please just stop!” Ulysses blurted out, completely caught off guard by Zelda’s outburst.

He was mortified.

“I’m fine. Callie’s not bullying me at all. Please, go back to your room. I need to talk to Callie alone.”

“Actually, you should apologize to her first! She didn’t do anything wrong and you just accused her out of nowhere!”

Ulysses frowned at Zelda, suddenly seeing things much more clearly.

It hit him. Zelda hadn’t even asked what happened, she just jumped to blame Calliope.

Thinking about it, Callie must feel pretty crappy about this. It’s always the same: no matter what Callie does, their mom finds fault with her.

“Are you out of your mind?” Zelda was completely baffled by Ulysses’s attitude. She shot Calliope a furious look and demanded, “What did you do to my Uly?”

Calliope was speechless.

What did she do? She hadn’t even had a chance to say a word!

Calliope couldn’t be bothered to argue. She had no clue what kind of mood swing Ulysses was having, so she simply headed inside.

Silas and the others naturally followed, all of them filing into the hotel together. They waited at the elevator.

Calliope could still hear Ulysses and Zelda arguing behind her.

Finally, Ulysses came jogging over, looking at Calliope with pleading eyes. “Callie, can we talk for a minute? I’m serious. If you don’t talk to me today, I’m just going to keep following you around.”
