A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 795

After chatting for a while, Horatio looked at Ulysses and asked, “So… are you going to tell Valerian and Mom and Dad about this?”

Ulysses fixed him with a long, searching look. “Why would you even think I’d tell them something like this?”

He sighed. “Horatio, I’m telling you because I figure you and I see things the same way, and, let’s be honest, you’re… persuadable. But Mom, Dad, and Valerian? Not a chance.”

Horatio frowned. “What’s wrong with Valerian?”

He knew their parents played favorites, that much was obvious. But Valerian had always seemed like the rest of them, surely he’d take Callie’s side too, right?

Ulysses glanced at him and lowered his voice. “Not sure you’ll believe me, but Valerian’s even more biased toward Lisette. Because, well… he’s sleeping with her.”

He paused for effect. “Your foster sister is about to become your sister-in-law.”

Ulysses grimaced, clearly disgusted.

“They’ve acted like siblings for years, but Lisette went and jumped into Valerian’s bed. And she’s… well, she’s always flirting with me too. Honestly, if I wanted to, I bet she’d sleep with me, no questions asked.”

He shook his head, looking both annoyed and grossed out. “That’s just who she is. Lately, I can barely stand to be around her.”

A few minutes later, Valerian walked in.

“Hey, Horatio, you got a minute?”

Horatio looked up. “Yeah, what’s up?”

Valerian glanced at the door. “I saw Ulysses leaving just now. Did he say anything? Lisette said he was badmouthing her.”

“Badmouthing?” Horatio shook his head. “No, he didn’t say anything about Lisette. We just talked, that’s all.”
