A hand was everything. And just like that, Upton had shattered Lisette’s wrist. That was too much, too cruel.
But they valued their own skin more than their pride. And this was Upton they were dealing with. A man of his stature? He could wipe the Jewell family off the face of the earth with a snap of his fingers. So, instead of blaming him, they turned their fury toward Calliope.
“If you dare lay a finger on Baber again,” Upton murmured, eyes narrowing as he looked at Lisette, “I’ll ensure you lose more than just a hand.”
Lisette gritted her teeth, clutching her mangled wrist, her face drained of all color. The pain was unbearable. The hatred in her eyes was unmistakable, but she didn’t dare look directly at Upton.
“If it weren’t for Callie’s connection to you, I wouldn’t have been this merciful,” Upton continued coldly. “You should be thanking her.”
His gaze swept over the group. “Now get lost.”
No one hesitated. In a flurry of movement, the brothers grabbed Lisette and rushed her out to surgery.
Outside the operating room, Horatio, Ulysses, and Valerian stood in tense silence, their anger simmering just beneath the surface.
“Calliope is not our sister anymore,” Ulysses declared, voice tight with fury. “I swear I’ll make her pay for what she did to Lisette.”
“She just stood there and watched,” Horatio muttered, brows furrowed in disbelief. “She’s not the Callie we grew up with.”
“She doesn’t care about any of us, her blood brothers. So why would she care about Lisette?” Valerian scoffed, bitterness lacing his words. “She’s too busy clinging to Silas, acting like she’s something special.”
“She really thinks Silas will always back her?” Ulysses sneered. “And Upton? He’ll return to Sea City sooner or later. This isn’t over.”
Just then, Zelda stormed into the hospital, her heels clicking sharply against the floor.

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......
