"I know I messed up, and I’m here to apologize!" Monty flashed a nervous smile at Calliope. "I know you've been eyeing the shares in the company. How about I give you some?"
At the mention of shares, Calliope looked up, surprise flickering across her face. "You're willing to give me shares? How much? Twenty percent?"
Monty froze at her bold request. Twenty percent? That was a hefty chunk he couldn't fathom parting with. After all, Calliope hadn't contributed much to the company. Even though she was his flesh and blood, she hadn't even matched the contributions of their adopted daughter. How could he justify such a large share?
"Uh, Callie, twenty is a bit steep. How about three percent?" he ventured cautiously.
"Do you realize," Calliope said, fixing Monty with a steady gaze, "that this kind of bargaining could get you punched in the face? Would you take thirty if you were selling something for two hundred dollars?"
Monty squirmed. "Shares aren't like buying a shirt."
"Still doesn't work for me," Calliope shrugged. "Besides, you're here all apologetic, offering shares. You've got some ulterior motive, huh? What's the catch?"
Monty hadn't expected Calliope to be so sharp. He thought she would be easy to sway, maybe even naive. The shares were something he didn't even plan on giving, considering her lack of involvement in the business. But she saw right through him, understanding they needed her for something important.

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......
