The crowd whispered, yet no one dared to step in and help.
A few people in the group recognized Calliope and began to murmur.
"Isn't that the heiress of the Jewell family? It looks like she's being scammed!"
"That's rough. Could this couple be doing it on purpose? They must be trying to scam her!"
"By the way, I saw Ms. Lisette with the three Jewell brothers here earlier. They seemed to be just watching the show."
With a glance toward Lisette and her brothers, the onlookers confirmed their presence and felt less inclined to intervene. No one wanted to cross the Jewell family. If they weren't stepping in, why should anyone else?
Portia, however, found the situation amusingly absurd.
"Call the cops? You two must be con artists! Callie tried to help you, and now, you want to report her? You deserve whatever misery you're in. Don’t go too far, lady. Be honest, did Callie do anything to you?"
Calliope observed the pair calmly. She hadn't expected her attempt to help would get twisted like this. She scrutinized the woman, curiosity in her eyes.
She wasn't worried about the police being called. After all, she had only kicked the man lightly, enough to make a scene but not to cause harm.
The woman glanced at her husband and then at Calliope, launching into a tirade.
"It was you! You hit me and my husband! My husband is hurt, and you owe us money!"
"Listen, you hag, I'll give you a chance. Pay us thirty grand, and we'll let this slide without calling the cops!" the man threatened.
Calliope smirked, "Thirty grand? That's all?"

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......
