As soon as the waiter left, Monty turned to Calliope with a grin plastered across his face, his tone as sugary as a fresh batch of maple syrup.
"Callie, I'm really glad you decided to join us for dinner today! All this talk about leaving or not leaving—come on, even if you signed that agreement, you're still a Jewell through and through. Family doesn't hold grudges overnight, right?"
Monty shot a cheerful glance at Horatio and Valerian. "They really do care about you! When they were kids, you know, didn't know any better. And Lisette, well, she's younger than you, she didn't get it either. Maybe she was just scared we'd favor you over her, so she put on that little act! These things, they happened so long ago. Can't really blame anyone, can you?"
"Horatio, Valerian, you guys know you owe her an apology, right?" Monty's gaze urged the two brothers to make amends with Calliope.
Calliope watched them with an amused expression. "Was it really just because you were kids?"
Valerian didn't seem too thrilled with Calliope's tone. He frowned but stayed quiet.
Horatio piped up, "Callie, yeah, we weren't great. We just believed whatever Lisette said back then, but you should've nudged us a little. Even if we didn't believe you at first, you could've tried a bit harder!"
"It was all so long ago, don't hold a grudge against Lisette or us. We were just kids, everyone's forgotten about it. Sure, you might've been falsely accused, but no real harm was done, right?"
"And about your education, yeah, we might've misunderstood. But you never showed us your side of things. How were we supposed to know? If you'd been as vocal as Lisette, there wouldn't have been any room for misunderstanding."
"Anyway, it's all ancient history now. You're healthy and grown up, and honestly, there's no need to be so petty about it."

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......
