If Calliope married her son, so naturally, she thought she could handle any future daughter-in-law issues with ease. Worst-case scenario, she figured, she could secure her shares and then orchestrate a divorce.
After all, it was tough for a woman to find a new partner post-divorce, but someone as exceptional as Gideon? He’d have no problem.
Fleur tried to keep her composure, forcing a smile that was more pitiful than pleasant. “I was wrong before, and I’m here to apologize!”
“Just a verbal apology?” Calliope pouted. “Words don’t mean much to me. Surely, a nice gift is in order, right? A little compensation for emotional damages? You’ve hurt me, and I’ve been dispirited for quite a while!”
She looked at Fleur, then at Gideon. “You think a simple ‘sorry’ suffices after causing so much distress? Shows a lack of sincerity.”
With gritted teeth, Fleur reluctantly pulled out her phone. “Alright, I was wrong. I apologize. Here’s a little something for you!”
She transferred a thousand dollars to Calliope.
Calliope glanced at the screen. “What is this, some pocket change?”
Fleur was on the verge of losing her cool, but Gideon held her back. She forced another smile and transferred twenty thousand dollars to Calliope.
Only then did Calliope beam, “Thanks, I won’t be shy about accepting it. Consider it my emotional damages payment.”
After that, she turned her gaze to Gideon. “And you?”
Gideon took a deep breath. “Callie, all my money is yours. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.”
“I don’t need much. Just compensate me for the years of anguish. Let’s say fifty thousand a year for five years... that’s two hundred fifty thousand, but that doesn’t sound right. Let’s round it to three hundred thousand.”
Calliope smiled sweetly.

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 !!!...
