"Well, you're in for a disappointment. I'm not upset, not even mad. Heck, I want to throw a party with fireworks!"
Lisette's chest heaved, struggling to maintain her composure. She couldn't stand Calliope being better off than her. Any sign of Calliope's happiness was like a thorn in her side. She had come to rile her up, but it seemed her efforts were in vain.
"You're pretending, aren't you?" Lisette chuckled softly. "There's no way you don't care! You love Gideon. He's everything to you. But too bad he doesn't love you back. He's only got eyes for Yvette, and you're a nuisance to him."
Calliope crossed her arms, eyeing Lisette with a playful smirk. She tilted her head slightly, a glint of mischief in her eyes.
"Is it fun trying to get a rise out of me? If you want to see me going crazy, I can give you a show."
With a sudden narrowing of her eyes, Calliope tossed a handful of powder in Lisette's direction.
The powder was colorless and odorless, landing softly on Lisette's face. She felt a slight chill but saw nothing. "What did you do?"
"Gave you a little something special." Calliope grinned as she stood up, no longer paying Lisette any mind.
Inside the diner, a few burly waitstaff were keeping a close watch on Calliope's direction, their eyes wary as they looked at Lisette.
But without Calliope's signal, none dared approach her. The moment Calliope returned, they rushed to her side.
"Callie, was she trying to give you a hard time?" asked Scarface, his voice laced with protective aggression.
"Callie, don't worry. We're here for you! If she tries anything, I'll toss her into the deep fryer myself!" added Baldie, his tattooed head gleaming under the lights.
Calliope couldn't help but laugh. "Relax, guys. She can't touch me. Besides, she's in for some trouble of her own."
"Really?"
"Really." Calliope looked at her crew, who, despite their intimidating appearances, were genuinely good-hearted and loyal.

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......
