In the crowd, Portia's eyes were red with anger; she was wiping away tears, seething with frustration.
Mavis clenched her fists tightly beside her.
They both knew all too well the kind of place Calliope had been in for years. They understood deeply how much Zelda's words must have hurt her.
Calliope had once been a child who yearned for her parents' love. She had tried hard, really hard, to please them, to win some affection. But they were so biased, never caring about how she felt.
Standing nearby, Archie looked like he was about to intervene physically, but Uriah placed a calming hand on his shoulder, holding him back.
The murmurs and whispers among the crowd grew louder. Sure, everyone thought Lisette might be more accomplished than Calliope but doubted the Jewell family would abandon their biological daughter.
Blood tie was always there, after all, and an adopted child couldn’t compare.
"It's sad for Calliope. Don't you think so? If the Jewell family treated her well, she wouldn’t be so determined to leave, right?"
"Not necessarily. Calliope might just be acting out!"
"Even so, she's their real daughter. Would they disown her?"
"I feel the Jewell family favors Lisette. Calliope seems pretty alone in all this. It's pitiful!"
"But maybe Calliope brought it on herself? Would the Jewell family dislike her so much if she were obedient and sensible?"
"Or maybe Lisette is just manipulative?"
"Hard to say."

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......
