A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 869

“Callie, honey, your dad really needs your help here.”

“We know we messed up. I’m sorry, really sorry. I’ll get down on my knees and beg you if that’s what it takes, okay?”

“Please, just give us a break!”

Monty looked at Calliope with hopeful eyes, desperate for her to step in.

Calliope’s beautiful face remained unreadable. She replied, cool as ice, “Mr. Jewell, there’s no blood between us. And whatever bond we might’ve had, you and your family burned through it a long time ago. Even if you all dropped dead right now, I wouldn’t feel a damn thing.”

“So, don’t bother begging me.”

“Go find someone else to help you.”

“And for the record, I haven’t done anything to you. Everything that’s happened to you, you brought on yourselves. What do you even mean, ‘give you a break’?”

Calliope let out a cold, dismissive laugh. “If I was actually out to get you, you wouldn’t even be standing here to beg. You’d be six feet under by now.”

Her eyes were icy, almost frightening.

Monty met her gaze for a second, swallowed hard, and looked away, a chill running down his spine.

Calliope turned and walked into the hospital room.

Inside, she found Ulysses arguing with Zelda.

“Zelda, do you seriously not realize you’re in the wrong here?”

“Get out. You’re not my mom, and I’m not your son. I don’t need you in my life!”

“Uly, have you lost your mind? That witch—she must’ve bribed you, right? What did she give you, huh? Why are you turning your back on your own mother?”

“Uly, I’m your mom! How can you pretend like I don’t exist?”

“Your mom loves you, right?”

“Calliope is poison, she’s the reason our family’s a mess, the reason we’re falling apart! You have to stay away from her!”
