"You all seem to forget. I’ve cut ties with your family." Calliope’s voice was cool, detached. “So, your problems are none of my concern.”
"Calliope, do you really think you’ll do just fine without us? What, you don’t think you’ll ever come crawling back?" Ulysses growled. "I’m giving you a chance here. If you help Horatio, we’ll remember it."
"You all certainly stick together, I’ll give you that. But let’s not pretend you’re the kind of people who repay kindness. A bunch of ungrateful leeches, so why don’t you just get out of my way?"
Her gaze locked onto Valerian, and her lips curved into a cold smile. "Isn’t that right, Valerian?"
His jaw tightened at the accusation. He knew exactly what she meant.
She had saved his life, and yet, somehow, Lisette had swooped in and taken the credit.
Valerian’s expression darkened at the revelation, but he refused to admit guilt.
"Horatio always treated you well. Are you really okay with watching him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?" Valerian said. "Obviously you could just ask the info to Upton. You’re close with him. He trusts you enough to leave his kid in your care. I’m sure he’d tell you if you asked."
Calliope glanced at them indifferently. "Even if he would tell me, why would I bother asking? If you want answers, go ask him yourself."
"You think we’d be talking with you if we could just ask him directly?" Ulysses snapped. "God, Calliope, when did you turn into such a pain? You weren’t like this when we were kids!"
"And do you remember how you weren’t like this either?" She looked at him with amusement. If they hadn’t once treated her well when they were younger, maybe she wouldn’t have spent years foolishly believing they might return to the way they used to be.
She had wanted their love so badly. And in the end, it had cost her everything.
Not this time.
She swore to distance herself from them. Since they treated Lisette as their own sister and dismissed her, then let it be.

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......
