Silas didn’t really have anywhere to be, so he tagged along with Calliope and Hudson to go find Lance.
On the way over, Calliope tried to talk to Hudson. She really thought Lance deserved to know what was going on.
“I just think,” she said, “it’s only fair Lance knows. If he finds out later, he might regret not having the chance to at least make a memory or two together. Sometimes, keeping stuff from him to protect him… it’s not always the right call.”
Hudson didn’t say much. He just walked beside her, quiet and deep in thought.
When they got to the office, Lance was in a meeting. They could only see him through the glass wall—he looked like he was holding court at a round table, all sharp suit and easy charm.
Hudson watched him for a second and couldn’t help but smirk. “See him? He always acts like nothing’s serious, like he’s just some rich kid who doesn’t have a clue. But I know better. He pretends he’s useless, but I get it—he’s worried if he’s not, his parents will expect more. Or maybe he’s afraid if he’s got it all handled, I’ll just leave, and he’ll have to run the show without me.”
Lance looked totally in his element in there, and Calliope could see it too. The whole “hopeless heir” routine was just an act. Truth was, Lance was every bit as sharp as Hudson.
She figured Lance kept up the charade because he wanted Hudson to stick around, to stay with the company. If he looked like he had it all under control, Hudson would probably feel like he wasn’t needed—he’d walk away, because that’s just who he was.
Calliope smiled, glancing at Hudson. “He’s always been impressive, you know.”
She nudged him. “He cares about you, a lot.”
Hudson just nodded. “Yeah.”
Silas looked from one to the other. “Uh… am I missing something?”

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 !!!...
