"Wow, that's amazing! I knew you could do it. You're the best, Callie!"
Calliope hung up the phone after chatting with Portia for a bit. As she looked up, she saw Valerian and Zelda storming through the door, looking as if they were on a mission.
Zelda, especially, wore an expression of disdain and disapproval that could sour milk.
"Calliope, why are you still working in this place?" Zelda huffed, her voice dripping with irritation. "Hanging around with this bunch of misfits as a waitress makes you happy?
How could you let yourself fall to this level? Lisette is doing so well at the company, and you can’t even find a decent job?
I bet you wouldn’t have made it this far without the Jewell family."
Zelda glanced disdainfully around the bustling diner, her eyes landing on a group playing card in the corner. Her gaze was filled with prejudice, looking like she was staring at something far beneath her.
The burly men and the bald guy paused their game, instinctively looking over at Zelda. In an almost choreographed move, they all stood up.
Rafferty strolled over, too.
Everyone gathered behind Calliope, their eyes warily fixed on Zelda. They knew who Zelda was—Calliope's mother—and though they wouldn’t dare cross her, they wouldn’t stand by and let her push Calliope around.
Calliope was important to them. Each owed her a debt of gratitude they could never fully repay.
These folks each had a past, a story from the wrong side of the tracks. Their presence alone was enough to change the atmosphere.
As they stood behind Calliope, her presence seemed to grow stronger, more formidable.

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......
