"What kind of shady methods do you think I'm using to make money?" Calliope let out a sarcastic chuckle. "Did Lisette say I'm a gold digger or a homewrecker? She's got a knack for spreading rumors."
"Don't you dare slander Lisette!" Valerian snapped, flaring up. "Lisette's always defended you, but we've seen your scandalous photos!"
"What scandalous photos? I'd love to see how scandalous they are," Calliope retorted while raising an eyebrow.
"I knew you wouldn't own up to it. I've had Lisette send them to me!" Ulysses pulled out his phone and flipped through the images, shoving them to Calliope's face.
"See? One man after another. You thought you were clever, didn't you? But the whole world knows you're not as discreet as you think!"
"So that's what this is about..." Calliope gazed at the photos, unfazed, and even found them amusing.
Every so-called 'old man' in those pictures was a renowned expert in the field of medicine, research, or weapon design. Their interest in her wasn't for anything untoward. They sought her out for lectures or to consult her expertise.
She often wanted to refuse their invitations, but it was hard to turn them down when they came to pick her up. Yet, there she was, accused by Lisette of being a gold digger.
Calliope glanced at the three, considering her words, but decided against saying more. There was no point in explaining. Nothing she said would change their minds. Besides, she didn't plan on wasting her energy caring about their opinions anymore.
Calliope smirked, mischief in her eyes. "If that's how you want to see it, fine. If you don't want these gifts, I'll give them to someone who does."
"Hey, Big Guy, get the crew out here! Time to pick out some gifts!" Calliope called back into the diner.
Big Guy immediately rallied the others, who came piling out.
"What gifts?" Baldy asked, his interest piqued.
"See those in the car? Help yourselves. Take whatever you like. Clear them out," Calliope gestured with her chin toward the car.
"Seriously?"

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......
