Gabriel stammered, a hint of panic in his voice. "Uh, big shot, what kind of compensation are you talking about? Just tell me, and I'll find a way to make it up to you."
"Really?" Calliope raised an eyebrow, her voice smooth and unhurried. "To be honest, my fragile heart has taken quite a hit. I require a substantial emotional compensation."
Gabriel let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding.
Money. She wanted money. That was easy enough to handle. As long as it wasn't a life-or-death situation, he could deal with anything she asked.
Gideon and Fleur exchanged confused glances. The only thing they understood was that Gabriel seemed oddly afraid of Calliope. He actually called her "big shot"! But wasn't he the one with the reputation for toughness? Why on earth would he be scared of Calliope?
"Uncle, what are you so afraid of?" Gideon frowned, puzzled by the whole scene. He didn't know what kind of big deal Calliope was, but he felt his uncle was overreacting. It was just Calliope, after all. If his uncle couldn't handle her alone, surely the two of them together could manage.
Fleur shared his skepticism. "Gabriel, you coward! How can you be afraid of some woman? What's there to fear?"
With that, she stormed over to Calliope, ready to strike.
Calliope remained seated, unfazed, simply casting a casual glance at Fleur. Then she locked eyes with Gabriel, almost as if giving him a silent signal.
Before Fleur's hand could make contact, a sharp smack echoed in the room as Gabriel's hand met her cheek.

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......
