“You can take some time to think it over,” Calliope said with a grin. “I have to head out now. Once you’ve made up your minds, just give me a call. Oh, but remember, your phone might not work; better use the butler’s line!”
With a casual wave, she turned on her heel, hands shoved deep into her pockets, and strolled away.
Monty was still wavering. The thought of handing over all his power was a tough pill to swallow. Yet, if he didn’t, the company might go under completely, and his eldest son might never recover.
“Dad, don’t hesitate,” Horatio urged. “Think of it as an early retirement. Once the company’s back on its feet, we can figure something out.”
“Besides, hanging onto your position won’t do any good now,” he added. “The board members have been grumbling about you anyway.”
“Right now, the company’s like a hot potato,” Valerian chimed in. “If Calliope can turn it around, we’ll reap the benefits. If not, any fallout lands squarely on her shoulders.”
Their words hit Monty like a splash of cold water, clearing the fog of indecision.
They were right. At this point, whether the company collapsed or not didn’t make much difference to the Jewell family.
If Calliope wanted to take on this mess, why not let her? They’d negotiate to give her the position but keep a larger slice of the pie.
Horatio and Lisette would still be in the company, keeping an eye on things. The old guard at the company didn’t much care for Calliope anyway. Who knows, she might lose interest and give up.

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......
