It was a typical Monday, and Kirin Fondue was bustling with the usual crowd.
Calliope was helping out by serving dishes, and as she approached the table by the window, she noticed Lisette sitting there.
Her brow furrowed slightly, but she didn't let it show as she set down the dish she'd been carrying.
Ignoring Lisette, she was about to turn and continue with her work when Lisette called out, "Aren’t you going to sit with me for a moment? I’ve got some things to discuss with you."
Calliope paused briefly, then turned and sat across from Lisette, leaning back in her chair with her hands in her pockets, exuding a casual defiance.
"What is it?" she asked. "What do you want to talk about?"
Lisette gave Calliope a once-over, smugness flickering in her eyes. "You seem to be enjoying your time as a waitress, Calliope. Even after becoming Mrs. Myers, you're still here. Didn't Silas give you any spending money?"
Calliope shrugged. "I'm not like you, Lisette. I don’t need to rely on a man for money."
Lisette shook her head.
"That's where you’re wrong. I believe a woman should be as successful as possible to marry rich. I make my own money, and I'm marrying into wealth."
Calliope glanced at her. "So, are you here to share your ambitious plans with me?"
"Of course not," Lisette replied. "I'm here to tell you that Valerian knows you saved him back then. But he said he’d still stand by me. So don’t think you can stir up trouble. Even if it goes public, he’ll be on my side over yours."
"Valerian cares more for me than he ever will for you," Lisette added triumphantly, watching for any distress on Calliope's face.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
