A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 863

“But honestly, I think Ulysses isn’t so bad. Didn’t he at least try to defend Calliope?”

“Yeah, I guess he’s the only one who seems halfway decent. At least he admitted he messed up and looks like he’s actually reflecting on it!”

“Right, unlike the rest of them, who won’t even acknowledge they did anything wrong!”

“That family’s got a heart as cold as a block of ice, I swear. It’s scary.”

“Thank goodness it’s Calliope and not their real daughter from before!”

“Can you imagine if their actual daughter had survived? If she wasn’t as tough as Calliope, just think of how badly she would’ve been bullied!”

“It’s heartbreaking.”

“My heart goes out to that little baby girl who passed away right after she was born.”

“Maybe it was a blessing in disguise. If she’d stayed, she’d probably just have been treated like a scapegoat for the whole family.”

Reporters and fans alike were buzzing with gossip and heated whispers.

Now that it was all over, Calliope looked over at Monty and the others. “Anything left to say? If you’ve got something, spit it out now. Otherwise, we’re done here—for good.”

Her cool gaze swept right through Monty’s group like she was looking at strangers, not a flicker of emotion on her face.

Monty and his crew were speechless, shame written all over them.

Even if they wanted to speak up, nobody would have cared what they had to say anymore.

“Nothing? No last words?” Calliope said flatly. “Then let’s make this clear: don’t ever try to leech off my name again. If you do, I’ll call the cops.”

With that, she turned to Silas and the others. “Honey, guys, let’s go.”

“Callie, I’m sorry! I know I was wrong!” Monty suddenly realized the gravity of the situation and rushed forward, trying to drop to his knees in apology.

Calliope stopped him cold, kicking a chair in front of him to block the pathetic gesture.

“Callie, after all those years in our house, don’t you have any feelings left at all?”

She brushed past Monty without a backward glance.

Silas and the others shot Monty a frosty look.

Quentin spoke up, “Don’t you dare bother Callie again. If you do, I promise I won’t let it slide.”

With that, he turned and walked off.

Portia hurried after him.

Down below, the crowd was snapping photos, recording videos—some were even livestreaming, cursing out the Jewells as they went.

Monty slumped in his chair, no longer caring about appearances.

Valerian looked pale as a ghost; he knew the Jewell family was done for.
