Lance stood on the helicopter, looking a bit hurt as he glanced at Calliope. "Alright then, I'll come back for you in two days."
He threw her a charming wink and blew a kiss before the helicopter took off into the sky.
Once the helicopter was out of sight, Calliope closed the window and turned around to find everyone staring at her with expressions that were a mix of awe and disbelief.
It was hard not to be impressed, after all, it was the infamous JK Group. Their reputation was built on some, let's say, less-than-legal activities back in the day, including arms deals...
Not only was JK Group still a powerhouse, but they were known for their once fearsome reputation.
Everyone silently wondered how she had known someone from the JK Group. Wasn't she supposed to be the one with no skills, the underdog? Yet here she was, with such impressive connections.
"Ms. Jewell, do you really know someone from the JK Group? That was the youngest son, right?" someone finally mustered the courage to ask. "Are you close with him?"
Calliope nodded. "You could say that. I did save his life once."
The room went silent. Well, that explained it.
Everyone exchanged glances, suddenly realizing that Calliope's network was much more formidable than they had imagined. Even the second-in-line successor of JK Group owed her one. It even seemed like he was a bit intimidated by her. Clearly, she was more than capable.
Recalling the project proposals Calliope had presented, it dawned on them that she was indeed quite competent.
"Ms. Jewell, we have great respect for you!"
"We're counting on you to lead the company to greater heights!"
"Indeed, Ms. Jewell, you're so exceptional, perfect for managing 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......
