"Didn't we agree you'd celebrate your birthday with Lisette?" Ulysses burst out, his face a storm of disapproval. "Lisette's birthday is tomorrow. You had this grand party tonight. What do you expect Lisette to think?"
Calliope was on the receiving end of his tirade, unable to get a word in edgewise, while Ulysses continued, "You went all out, hosting it here in the banquet hall. Tomorrow, Lisette's party is downstairs. Are you trying to stir up gossip?"
"Are you happy only if everyone thinks Lisette can't measure up to you?" he accused. "You're her sister. After all these years, haven't you got any affection for her?"
Calliope stood there, calm and composed, letting Ulysses run out of steam. When he finally stopped, she said slowly, "When did I ever promise to celebrate my birthday with Lisette?"
"When?" Ulysses shot back coldly. "Isn't that how it's always been?"
"Always been?" Calliope echoed, raising an eyebrow. "That's what you all assumed. But did anyone ever bother asking me how I felt about it? Did anyone ask if I agreed?"
Ulysses hesitated, glancing at Valerian and Horatio for support. It occurred to him that while everyone just assumed it was acceptable, no one had actually consulted Calliope. They just took it for granted.
"Isn't that what sisters do?" Ulysses pressed on stubbornly. "You're the older one."
"Exactly, Calliope," Valerian interrupted, irritation evident in his voice. "You're the big sister. Shouldn't you be nicer to Lisette? Lisette's had a rough life without parents. She's never felt secure. What's the harm in giving her a little leeway?"
"Aren't the dress you're wearing designed by K? Where did you get K's designed dresses? Get one for Lisette too. She has party tomorrow and shouldn't be dressed worse than you!"

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......
