When Lisette and the others got back, dinner was just about ready.
Calliope was hanging out by the door, munching on a handful of pistachios, looking like she was watching her favorite soap opera unfold.
Lisette trailed behind Horatio and the rest, her face lit up with a grateful smile, but there was a dramatic glimmer in her eyes, too.
“Dad, Horatio, Valerian, seriously, thank you guys so much! I really thought I was never getting out of there!”
She kept on, her voice growing more emotional. “If it wasn’t for you, I’d probably still be stuck. You guys are amazing! I owe you everything.”
She looked down, her tone suddenly softer and a little guilty. “I didn’t mean for any of this to happen… I honestly thought Callie was up to no good. I mean, why are all those big shots sticking up for her anyway?”
“Dad, Horatio, Valerian, I’m sorry. This is all my fault, isn’t it? Did I just drag the whole family into a mess again?”
She had that perfect, wounded puppy look—the kind that made most people’s hearts ache for her. But Calliope saw straight through it.
So, after all that time being grounded, Lisette was still spinning her tales, Calliope realized. Still hinting that she’d been wronged, and that maybe—just maybe—those important folks were all wrapped up in some scandal with her.
Calliope rolled her eyes and cracked another pistachio. “Yeah, you did stir up quite a bit of trouble for everyone,” she said bluntly.
“Let me guess—you’re gonna say all those people were only defending me ‘cause I’ve got something going on with them, right?”
Lisette hadn’t noticed Calliope by the door, and when she did, she nearly jumped out of her skin.
“Callie? What are you doing here?”
She glanced back and forth, looking panicked, as if hoping someone would explain.

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......
