Zelda turned to Franco with a look of disbelief. "All that food was for Calliope and her mutt! You said this club was hers, so why would she need to pay for a meal here?"
"Mrs. Jewell, are you suggesting she wants a free meal?" Franco raised an eyebrow, phone in hand. "Our boss comes here and, of course, she doesn't pay. You all, however, are not. I heard today's tab is on you, so it's your responsibility to settle it."
Zelda squinted her eyes, defiant. "We're her family. Why should we pay?"
Franco chuckled softly. "Family, huh? Really? Didn't you all cut ties? It's funny how you claim to be family when it suits you, but become strangers when there's nothing to gain."
Zelda's face turned sour, glaring at Franco with fury.
Franco, still holding his phone, continued, "Don't want to pay? Well, don't blame me if I call the cops right now and invite the press over to witness just how shameless the Jewell family can be."
Monty's face went pale with worry. "No, Franco, we never said we wouldn't pay!"
"Then please head downstairs to settle the bill." Franco watched as Monty and the others reluctantly entered the elevator. He pulled out his phone and made a call.
As soon as the elevator reached the ground floor, Monty and his group were met by a small entourage waiting for them. A few waitstaff and security guards stood there, watching them as if they were criminals.
Feeling both furious and humiliated, Monty had little choice but to comply.
"This way, please," a smiling waiter directed them toward the payment counter.
At the counter, the cashier announced the total price to Monty and his companions.
"What?" Monty exclaimed, utterly shocked. "We must've been served diamonds for it to be this expensive!"

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......
