"They probably won't believe it."
She knew exactly how the Jewells saw her. To them, she was useless - someone with no skills, no ambition, and no real value.
Not that she cared.
Calliope shrugged. "There’s no need to go out of the way to tell them. They’ll find out eventually."
After all, she had already decided to resume her work—helping people, saving lives. Word would spread. And once it did, people would start to realize who she really was.
"Exactly! Mommy, you’re amazing and brilliant. One day, they’ll regret losing such an incredible lady!"
You’re exceptional. My mentor always says you’re blessed - someone who brings good fortune not just to yourself, but to those around you. If they lost you, well… bad luck for them!"
Calliope and Baber chatted for a while until she was ready to end the call.
"Mommy, don’t forget to pick me up tomorrow!" Baber reminded her.
"Of course, you little thing. When have I ever broken a promise to you?" Calliope let out a wry smile.
"Just making sure!" Baber grinned, blowing her a playful kiss. "See you tomorrow, Mommy! Bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye!"
Calliope waved at the screen as the call ended. But the moment she lowered her phone, she felt a cold, heavy presence behind her.
She turned sharply, and there stood Silas, whose expression was sour and unreadable. He’d been standing behind her, somehow his whole demeanor radiating an unsettling chill. His jaw was tight, his eyes dark with something she couldn’t quite place.
"What’s wrong? Something’s up?"
Calliope sensed Silas wasn’t pleased, standing up abruptly.
Silas, noticing her hesitation in words, had a mix of emotion. She was having video call with someone, and he had unmistakably heard the other call her “Mommy”.

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......
