Valerian watched as Zelda was about to storm out of the house, clearly heading to the company. He grabbed her arm, trying to stop her.
"Mom, Callie is your daughter, after all. If we think about it, we haven't always been fair to her. Now that Lisette's not around, maybe we should try being a bit nicer to her. Maybe we need to change a little."
"Change?” Zelda cried, furrowing her brow. “What change? She's been nothing but bad luck for us. The company's in trouble, Lisette's in jail, and Horatio's legs… it's all because of her!
If she wasn't around, things wouldn't have gone downhill like this! She's a jinx, bringing disaster to the entire family."
Valerian sighed, realizing this was going to be an uphill battle.
"Mom, please, let’s just talk about this," he pleaded.
But Zelda was resolute. "I have to go to the office. If we hand the company over to her, it'll be a disaster. You think she'll give back what she's taken? She's always been holding grudges against us all these years!"
She pushed past Valerian, determined to leave. He wanted to run after her, but a servant stopped him.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Valerian quickly dialed Monty, hoping he could intercept Zelda. But Monty's phone went straight to voicemail, no matter how many times he tried. In the end, Valerian called Horatio.
"Can you stop Mom from going to the office?" he asked desperately.
"What happened?" Horatio's voice crackled through the line, laced with surprise. "Why did you let her head to the company? If she clashes with Callie there, it'll be a spectacle for everyone! Valerian, why didn't you stop her? And Callie actually showed some management skills this morning. She analyzed a lot of things that could really benefit the company. We need her!"
"It's not that I didn’t try," Valerian said with exasperation. "Mom just won't listen to me. I got held up by a servant and couldn’t catch up to her in time."
"We have a board meeting soon, and I can't stop her now," Horatio said, a hint of urgency in his voice. "I'll find some staff to help hold her off. You keep trying to reach her by phone!"
With that, Horatio hung up, his face clouded with worry. He knew his mother well enough to realize she'd stir up trouble at the company.

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......
