"What did you mean by that?" Valerian snapped with frustration.
Calliope chuckled softly, "I meant it literally. I'm genuinely impressed. I should learn from Lisette how to say something and have the whole family rally around me."
She leaned closer, scrutinizing the group before her. "Don’t you think you got a bit carried away earlier?"
"I never said Lisette had to leave the Jewell family, did I? She brought it up herself," Calliope shrugged. "She decided to leave on her own. I didn't use that as leverage. Whether she leaves or not, I don’t know the Mr. Lopez you’re talking about, and I won’t help."
"Oh, by the way, I’m already out of the Jewell family whether she leaves. I have no ties with the Jewell family anymore. Do you want me to show you the signed papers again? You've all signed it, remember?"
Calliope rested her chin in her hand, looking innocently at them. "I got kicked out of the Jewell family. How could I influence whether Lisette stays or goes? Am I that powerful?"
Monty and his sons were dumbstruck by her words. It dawned on them that Calliope hadn’t threatened anyone. Lisette had jumped to conclusions, and they’d assumed she was getting bullied. But in reality, that wasn’t the case.
The four of them exchanged uneasy glances before turning to Lisette. Still, their focus quickly shifted back to Mr. Lopez.
Monty tried to persuade Calliope again, but her resolve was unshakeable. She insisted she didn’t know Dante.
Despite their skepticism, they had no choice but to accept her word. Besides, Silas was sitting nearby, and his imposing presence kept them from pushing further.
"Well, it’s time for you gentlemen to leave, if that’s all," Silas said, making it clear they’d overstayed their welcome. "You’re interrupting my wife’s downtime."

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......
