Monty barked as he leaped up, charging towards the exit.
Valerian thought about how someone had pulled strings to keep him from seeing Lisette. She was now under heavy surveillance, supposedly for national security reasons or some other wild excuse...
The accusations were as big as a barn door. Without Calliope's help, there was no way they'd get Lisette out. Heck, even catching a glimpse of her would be a Herculean task.
Valerian hustled after Monty, both of them rushing over to where Calliope stood waiting at the elevator. Both father and son skidded to a halt in front of her.
"We agree to your terms!" Monty blurted out. "Callie, we agree! Just don't leave us hanging!"
"Calliope, you're really heartless!" Valerian snapped, his face a thundercloud. "Can you really stand by while Lisette is locked up for life? Do you really need us to beg?"
Valerian's defiance was still evident. "We're family, for Pete's sake, and this is how you treat us?"
Calliope glanced at Valerian. "Sure, I can stand by. Lisette's lifelong lock-up doesn't really concern me. We're not exactly close."
She shrugged nonchalantly. "You don't have to beg. It's your call. Go ahead, rescue Lisette yourself! Wasn't it you who said I'm a wicked woman? And someone wicked naturally wouldn't rescue someone for no reason."
Her gaze was steady and unflinching as it focused on Valerian.
Valerian's fists were clenched, his face a stormy shade of gray.

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......
