A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 218
"We can handle it, but the real question is, can you come up with enough of a bridal gift yourselves? In Capitalton, there's this unwritten rule that the bride's family should offer at least twenty percent more than the groom's family, you know."
Her words left the Jansen family momentarily stunned.
"That's impossible!" Verena's eyes widened. "You're pulling our leg!"
"Why would I? Go ask around and you’ll know," Calliope replied with a cool demeanor. "Honestly, the idea of marrying a girl from a regular family is already a bit of a letdown for the Bakers. I mean, if Yvette doesn’t marry into our family, who else would take her?
You mentioned it yourselves, the invites are out. Yvette’s reputation is already on thin ice. Don't let greed get in the way and end up with nothing. I believe you know how your daughter is, and the value she holds."
Calliope crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly. "Surely, you've been spreading the news about her marrying into a prestigious family, right? If the wedding falls through, won't your relatives have a field day laughing at you?
On our end, it’s no biggie. Without Yvette, Gideon is still quite the catch. Finding someone of equal standing is no problem. If this wedding gets canceled, another can take its place just as easily."
Calliope's sharp words seemed to lighten Fleur up.
"Exactly, Callie’s right! If you don’t want the wedding, then so be it. It’s not like it has to happen!"
Upon hearing it, the Jansen family began to feel the pinch. They couldn't let this opportunity slip away. If the Bakers really decided against Yvette, she’d have been left in a precarious position - no decent family would want her after this. Better to let her marry into the Bakers and hope for some long-term benefits.
"We’ll do it! Even without the wedding gift!" Trevor blurted out. "Let’s not argue with those fools, they only care about money. The young couple’s happiness is what counts!"

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......
