A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 847

Ulysses shot Valerian a look that was almost amused.

“Lisette isn’t even our real sister, and you know it. Do you actually see her as family?”

He let out a snort. “Come on, what kind of real brother would sleep with his own sister? Valerian, man, that’s just gross. Get a grip, will you?”

Valerian’s jaw dropped. “What?!”

Ulysses went on, “Oh, and in case you didn’t notice, she tried flirting with me too. Lisette’s been pulling every trick in the book just to stay in the Jewell family.”

He stood up so quickly his chair scraped against the hardwood. “You can mess with Callie all you want, but this? I’m not gonna let it slide.

Horatio, you want to back us up, great. If not, well, that’s your call. Just remember this—being able to walk again? That was Callie. Nobody else. If it weren’t for her, your whole life would still be pitch black.”

Valerian was furious. “Ulysses, what the hell are you talking about? Are you just making stuff up for Calliope’s sake? What did Lisette ever do to you? Did Callie put some kind of spell on you or something?”

His voice was rising. “What did she promise you, huh? Money? Are you betraying us for a fat paycheck?”

He lunged at Ulysses, swinging a fist. Ulysses dodged, eyes ice-cold, and punched back. Suddenly, the room erupted into chaos. The two brothers were throwing punches, locked in a furious brawl.

Zelda shrieked. “Stop it! Please, both of you, just stop!”

She hustled over, trying to pull them apart. But Valerian wouldn’t back down, and Ulysses was just as stubborn.

“And Grandpa’s estate? That was always ours. She just took it behind our backs, hid who she was. She’s obviously been scheming from the start.”

Horatio shook his head. “I’m staying out of it. It’s not my business.”

With that, he walked out, leaving a heavy silence in his wake.

Valerian turned to Monty and Zelda, his voice desperate. “Dad, Mom, what about you? Tell me you don’t actually think Uly’s right. That woman’s poisoned his mind!”

Zelda snapped, “Valerian, we’re going ahead with the press conference. Everything in this family belongs to us, and we’re getting it back. End of story.”
