A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 829

Everyone in the conference room turned to look at Lisette.

“So what’s going on?” someone asked bluntly.

“Wait, what are you doing here, Lisette? What gives you the right to even be in this meeting?”

“Yeah, isn’t this a board meeting? Looks like some people who shouldn’t be here somehow made it in.”

All eyes shifted to Monty.

“Monty, why did you bring this woman from the money-pit department into the boardroom?”

Monty scowled. “That whole mess is over. Lisette already fixed the shortfall, so can we stop dragging that up? That’s not the point right now. Maybe let her finish what she has to say before you all start jumping down her throat?”

Calliope glanced over at Lisette. “So, what is it you want to say?”

Lisette let out a bitter laugh. “Calliope, you don’t even belong to the Jewell family. You scammed us for our shares, and you’ve been hanging around ever since. You’re a fraud, through and through.”

She held up her phone. “I’ve already called the cops. They’ll be here soon to arrest you.”

“And let me tell you all, Calliope didn’t just scam us out of our shares. She conned our grandfather, too. She pretended to be one of the Jewell kids and stole Kermit’s estate. She’s nothing but a dirty, low-life cheat!”

Lisette’s eyes narrowed as she hurled insult after insult at Calliope.

The room fell dead silent. Every gaze was fixed on Lisette and Calliope.

“Yeah, take your family drama somewhere else! We’re here to talk business.”

“You lost company money. You have no place here!”

Lisette had thought everyone would take the Jewell family’s side. After all, Calliope wasn’t even a real Jewell.

But these old suits, every last one of them, were backing Calliope.

Lisette was furious. Her face twisted in disbelief.

A senior board member turned to Calliope and said with a reassuring smile, “Ms. Callie, don’t worry about it. It doesn’t matter what your last name is. What matters to us is that you can get the job done.”
