Calliope stood there, her expression as blank as a freshly painted wall, staring at Valerian. "I haven't considered myself part of the Jewell family for a long time."
"Calliope, have you lost your sense of decency?" Zelda was practically vibrating with anger, itching to lash out but fully aware she couldn't take Calliope in a fair fight.
"I'm not asking for much. Just help Horatio with his legs! Are you going to leave him hanging like this? He’s your brother by blood! Your family! Aren't you even going to try to find the Miracle Doctor to fix his leg?"
Calliope raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Zelda's desperation. "Funny, huh? You all said I wasn't fit to be the Jewell family. And now, suddenly, I'm supposed to care because we're family?"
"Sure, I can help. But it'll cost you. Give me shares in the Jewell Group, and I'll see what I can do. I not only know the whereabouts of the Miracle Doctor, but we're on pretty good terms. I can ask her to help out."
Her words were like a sharp jab, leaving Zelda and Valerian frustrated.
Valerian looked at her, disbelief etched on his face. "Calliope, are you seriously trying to take advantage of this situation? Trading our brother's legs for company shares? That's low, even for you."
Seething, Zelda added, "Exactly! Dream on! We're not handing the shares to you! Just tell us where she is, and I'll give you 100,000 dollars for the address!"
Calliope shrugged nonchalantly. "100,000 dollars? That's pocket change for Lisette in a year. You need to up your offer."
Zelda was flabbergasted. "That's your brother! He used to treat you well!"
"That was back in the day."
"Is your heart made of stone?" Valerian took a deep breath. "We're asking for a favor. Just ask around a bit. Why are you being so difficult?"
"Why don’t you ask yourselves?" Calliope crossed her arms, unmoved.

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......
