Monty looked like he had just bitten into a lemon. "Sure, I may not have showered you with allowances, but you turned out just fine, didn’t you?"
"And besides, aren't you loaded now? I heard you've got a whole bunch of businesses, that fancy club is yours, isn't it?"
Calliope raised an eyebrow. "And you think I thrived on thin air? My club, my businesses, you think they came from you?"
Monty was at a loss for words.
"They gave you life, and that's the greatest gift of all! Without our parents, you wouldn't exist, nor would anything you have!" Valerian chimed in, clearly frustrated, "Calliope, you need to be grateful. Nothing in life is a given. Even if they didn’t raise you, your life is theirs. Are you going to give it back to them?"
"Did I ask them to bring me into this world?" Calliope asked with a wry smile.
Valerian spluttered, "That's just childish nonsense!"
Calliope glanced into the room and made a quick gesture to Zachary.
Zachary seemed to get the message and nodded.
Once Calliope left the room, Monty and Valerian helped Horatio back into his wheelchair and followed her out.
The corridor was quiet, almost eerily so.
Calliope stood to the side, tilting her head as she looked at Monty and his entourage. "So, did you bring this whole circus of reporters to put on a show? Planning to guilt-trip me into helping you and use public opinion to back me into a corner? Your little scheme is pretty transparent."
Her words hit the nail on the head.
Horatio and the others looked visibly uncomfortable.

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......
