"What?" Monty looked at Mr. Lopez in utter confusion.
Mr. Lopez didn't speak immediately but gave Monty a long, scrutinizing look. "How could someone like you have such a talented and beautiful daughter?"
Monty was shocked, trying to decipher the meaning behind Mr. Lopez's words. Was he implying Calliope was too brilliant and striking to be his daughter?
There was no way Calliope wasn't their biological child. Although they hadn't raised her, she'd lived with his father, her grandfather. But she was still their own flesh and blood.
Sure, Calliope had a bit of a falling out and left the Jewell family, but there was no mistaking her lineage. Monty’s father had raised her since birth and would never swap his granddaughter for someone else's child, right?
Mr. Lopez's words left Monty bewildered. But Monty couldn't afford to dwell on it. His priority was to keep Mr. Lopez on board. Without him, the Jewell Group would be in serious trouble.
Due to some issues with Upton, their company had taken quite a hit. Mr. Lopez was one of their biggest clients. If they lost him, the company might actually go under.
Monty glanced nervously at Mr. Lopez, wiping the sweat from his forehead and forcing a smile. "It's a bit hot today, isn't it?"
"We're all comfortable, Mr. Jewell. Only you seem to be sweating," Mr. Lopez replied, taking a leisurely sip of his coffee.
Monty was starting to panic. He looked at Mr. Lopez, desperation written all over his face. "Mr. Lopez, here’s the thing. Callie and I had a misunderstanding. She blocked me. I can't reach her."
"Then let it be. I gave you the chance, and you didn't seize it. You can't blame anyone else for that. Mr. Jewell, you should learn to read between the lines."

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......
