Portia's sudden entrance brought a hush over the buzzing banquet hall. All eyes turned toward her.
"Well, Ms. Sutton? It's been ages, and your temper hasn't changed!"
"Ms. Sutton, are you still hanging out with Calliope?"
"Oh, come on. Calliope’s reputation is in shambles. You shouldn't hang out with her, Portia. It's only going to drag you down."
"Speaking of Calliope, you're pretty close with her, huh? Did she sleep around with different people for some cash back in the day?"
"Probably true, huh? Calliope never denied it!"
"Exactly, ugh. It's really gross. I'd get it if Calliope were with a rich, handsome guy, but with those older dudes? That's just nasty!"
The chatter resumed, with everyone sneering and shaking their heads.
Lisette stood among them, lips curling slightly, though she put on her best 'concerned sister' face. "Come on, guys. Maybe Callie isn't like that. Sure, she might not be the best person, but not that awful! Even though our family wasn't generous with her, I can't believe she'd do something like that. I trust Callie's character!"
"Lisette, you're too kind!"
"Yeah. You've known Calliope for years. How can you not know what she's like?"
"It's good the Jewell family sees clearly. Even though you're adopted, your brothers know you're the better one, more well-behaved! Unlike Calliope, who just embarrasses everyone."
"Lisette, stop pretending. Didn't you start these rumors?"
Portia's anger flared at the whispers around her. Naturally hot-tempered, she was ready to throw down right then and there.

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......
