Almost every member was against the idea. No one wanted Calliope to take the helm as chairwoman, to steer the company forward.
Sure, Monty wasn't exactly a powerhouse of leadership, but at least he knew the ins and outs of the place after all these years.
Calliope, on the other hand, was a different story. The last time she'd been involved with the company, her blunders were so monumental that she'd been shown the door.
If the Jewell family had wronged her, leading to the Group’s reputation getting tarnished, it was up to them to make amends, not to hand over the company for her to potentially wreck.
The opposition was fierce. Everyone agreed that Calliope should back down, not step up to manage the company.
Monty was sweating bullets, scared that the relentless pushback would cause Calliope to throw in the towel. Horatio seemed on the verge of speaking but held back.
One of the board members turned to Calliope and said, "Ms. Jewell, I get it. You can't stand that your sister's been involved here for so long, and you want a piece of the action, but have you ever stopped to consider if you're up to the task?"
"Seriously, Ms. Jewell, it's not about underestimating you, but do you have any experience in running a company?"
"Ms. Jewell, you need to stick to what you know, and management might not be it."
Calliope maintained a calm, faint smile, showing no rush or concern. She glanced around at everyone before speaking slowly and clearly, "Actually, I do have some management experience. Does running the Pearl Tiger Club count?"
"What? The Pearl Tiger Club!"
A chuckle quickly turned to silence.
All eyes were on Calliope, faces etched with confusion.
"Pearl Tiger Club?"
"Did she just say she managed the Pearl Tiger Club?"

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......
