A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 801

Lisette Jewell bristled, crossing her arms and staring Tanner Hawthorne down. “Come on, Mr. Hawthorne, that’s a little much, don’t you think? We barely know each other. How can you just decide I’m not as good as Calliope?”

Monty nodded, grinning. “If Lisette manages to reel him in, we won’t have to worry about the company for a while.”
