"Could you keep it down a bit? Aren't you worried about embarrassing yourself? Calliope, can't you get a handle on your friends?" Valerian shot an annoyed glance at Calliope. "Look at the kind of people you're hanging out with."
"What kind of people?" Archie stood up, his eyes locking onto Valerian's with a steely gaze and a sarcastic smile. "Mr. Valerian, are you implying I'm one of those kinds of people?"
Uriah and Mavis had wandered over without anyone noticing, and now Uriah's gaze was intense, carrying a palpable authority.
Valerian knew better than to cross someone like Uriah, so he quickly plastered on a grin. "Oh, no, Mr. Stewart. I didn't mean you."
"Really? Because you did mention Callie's friends, didn't you? And it just so happens that I'm one of them," Uriah replied with a casual air.
Valerian's face twisted uncomfortably.
"And wouldn't you know it, my apprentice is also one of those friends you're talking about." Uriah stepped forward. "So, do you have a problem with us?"
"No!" Valerian's face flushed with embarrassment and frustration, leaving him flustered and resigned. He threw one last glare at Calliope before stalking off with Ulysses.
Calliope lifted her head and said to Uriah, "Thanks, Uriah."
"Silas asked me to keep an eye on you," Uriah nodded, "If there's any trouble, let me know. I'll handle it."
"Alright." Calliope felt a wave of gratitude.
Silas had really thought things through, even getting someone as busy as Uriah to look out for her.
But she wouldn’t let the Jewell family push her around anymore. She used to put up with it all for the sake of a few scraps of familial affection. But having faced death once, she understood it wasn’t worth it.

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......
