Fleur wanted nothing more than to cover her face and disappear. If she could've melted into the hospital floor, she would have. Anything to get away from this woman.
This woman, unfortunately, was one of her regular poker buddies. And, of course, a full-on suburban socialite.
The worst part? She had a mouth that ran faster than a rumor at a high school prom, and she absolutely thrived on gossip—especially the sort that could ruin someone’s reputation at Sunday brunch.
If this woman found out what had happened to Fleur, she’d have it all over town before Fleur even made it home. There’d be no saving face after that.
“I’m sorry, you’ve got the wrong person!” Fleur tried to turn away, but with her arm in a sling, all she could manage was to duck her head and avert her eyes.
But the woman wasn’t about to let her off the hook. She crowded closer, practically pinning Fleur against the wall.
“Oh, come on! Why are you hiding? Let me see your face!”
“Your voice gives you away, Fleur. It’s you, isn’t it?”
“Don’t be shy! What’s going on? Spill it!”
“Wait—did you have an affair and your son caught you, and then your lover broke your son’s leg? Oh my God, that would be hilarious! Come on, you have to tell me!”
The woman leaned in so close Fleur could smell the peppermint on her breath.
“Are you kidding me? Would you stop gawking and come help me already?” Fleur snapped at Yvette, who was standing nearby with arms crossed, clearly enjoying the show.
Yvette didn’t budge. If anything, she looked downright smug about the whole thing. She’d never liked her mother-in-law, and now that Fleur was helpless, she wasn’t about to lift a finger.
The socialite grabbed Fleur’s injured arm, yanking it so hard Fleur let out a wail that turned every head in the corridor.
“Let go of me! I don’t know you, lady!”

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......
