"Calliope is only a waitress at that diner. Why would she be waiting tables if she were the brains behind Pearl Tiger Club?" Zelda sneered, her voice dripping with disdain.
Horatio frowned at her.
"That diner? It's hers too," he replied, his voice steady but firm.
Zelda had labeled Calliope as a jinx since they were kids. As Calliope's mother, Zelda's disdain had spread to the rest of the family, poisoning their opinions of her over time.
Monty was starting to panic. "What do we do now? How do we fix this?" He was kicking himself for not treating Calliope better when he had the chance. It finally dawned on him that she was the real powerhouse in their family.
Silas must have known how remarkable she was; why else would a man of his stature choose to marry her, especially after she was rejected by Gideon?
"We can't seriously give her 50% of the shares and hand the company to her, can we?" Valerian asked, lifting his gaze from the floor. "She's probably using her skills to manipulate us into agreeing."
"If we don't, it could mean the end of the company," Horatio said thoughtfully.
Monty took a deep breath, steeling himself. "We need to apologize. Beg for her forgiveness if we have to. It's our only option. If she really is as talented as we think, she could save us and even take the company to new heights."
"Yeah, but if she does, it won't benefit us in the slightest," Zelda snorted. "I've been saying it all along that she's a curse. No matter how capable she is, she'll only bring us bad luck."
"Would you just be quiet for once?" Monty snapped, glaring at Zelda. "We don't need you making this any worse."

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......
