After getting into the car, Zelda explained Lisette's situation to Valerian.
When Valerian heard, his brows furrowed deeply, and his face darkened with anger. "It must have been her. I knew it. She wouldn't let Lisette off the hook!"
"What do you know?" Zelda glanced at Valerian suspiciously.
Valerian paused, contemplating whether to spill the truth. But then he remembered Lisette's wish to keep it under wraps. She was afraid of the judgment that might follow if people found out.
He understood Lisette. She had always been the golden child, praised by everyone, and she didn't want any blemish on her record.
But Callie was different. She had never been a model citizen. Even back in school, Calliope always got into fights and caused trouble. She didn't even graduate properly, unlike the ever-accomplished Lisette.
Callie didn't have a good reputation to begin with, so this incident wouldn't really tarnish her name. But for Lisette, it was a stain she couldn't afford.
So, Valerian decided to keep the matter to himself.
"It's nothing. Callie's always had it out for Lisette," he said, concealing the truth even from his mother.
If Lisette wanted secrecy, he'd respect that. As for dealing with Callie, he'd figure out how to handle it after determining if she was truly responsible for hurting Lisette. She must have lost her mind, pulling a stunt like this over something so trivial, just to harm Lisette.
...
After the diner quieted down that afternoon, everyone gathered for a card game.
Calliope lounged back in her chair, blending in seamlessly with the group. They were a rough-and-tumble bunch, each with their own stories, but easygoing nonetheless.
"Damn, Callie! You're wiping us out here!" the bald guy complained across the table when Calliope raked in another winning hand.

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......
