A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 183

The news of Calliope breaking ties with the Jewell family spread like wildfire.

Everyone was talking about it, predicting life would be tough for Calliope without the Jewell family's support.

Seven speculated that without them, Silas wouldn't treat Calliope well.

But Calliope didn't pay much attention to these rumors. Her mind was occupied with thoughts of her past

life, when her best friend Portia's family faced a downfall, leaving Portia, once a wealthy heiress, to face the

cruelty of the world alone.

Determined to prevent history from repeating itself, Calliope arranged a meeting with Portia's father, Fintan

Sutton.

"Fintan, I've asked you here because there's something crucial that | need to discuss with you," Calliope began,

her expression serious as she sat across from him.

"It might sound unbelievable, but | hope you'll heed my warning. | don't want anything to happen to the Sutton

family. You know how close Portia and | are. | wouldn't be here if | didn't care."

Fintan, who had agreed to meet Calliope mostly because his daughter insisted, was expecting her to ask for a

favor. Instead, she was predicting trouble for his family.

Naturally, hearing someone say your family is in danger is unsettling. Fintan's first reaction was disbelief. The

Sutton family's business had always been solid and united. How could there be any trouble?

"Callie, | know you're fond of Portia," he said, trying to sound reassuring. "And | trust you wouldn't deceive me.

But saying something's going to happen to us doesn't sit right. Our company is well-managed, and my son

Crispin and | are competent. Not to brag, but we're better at running a company than your father, Monty."

Fintan chuckled, attempting to lighten the mood. "Anyway, | appreciate your concern. Do you have anything else

to discuss? If not, | have smeetings to attend."

He reached for his phone but then

paused, looking at Calliope. "Callie, letsend you sspending money. I've heard about your situation.

Portia complains about your parents all the time. It's a shthat they chose that ungrateful girl over you. If you

ever need anything, considera second father. Crispin and | care about you."

Calliope felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. The Sutton family had always treated her with kindness, thanks

to Portia, and she cherished them deeply.

"Thank you, Fintan, but please hearout, okay?" Calliope implored, her eyes sincere.

Seeing her earnestness, Fintan sighed and sat back down.

"Alright, Callie, I'm listening," he said patiently despite the ominous subject. Even though talk of

misfortune was unsettling, he couldn't find it in himself to dismiss her concerns outright.
