Calliope, Quentin and Norton turned around almost simultaneously.
Horatio Jewell and Valerian Jewell walked together, followed by Lisette, their eyes fixed on Calliope and her companions.
Horatio's gaze lingered on Quentin and Norton. He immediately sensed that the two men flanking Calliope were quite the formidable pair, especially Quentin, who exuded a charming yet roguish aura. He didn't exactly fit the mold of a conventional hero, nor did he seem like a villain. There was an air of mystery about him.
Quentin's sharp eyes quickly assessed Horatio and Valerian, finally resting on Lisette. He had a pretty good guess about who they were.
During dinner, Callie had given them a rundown on the Jewell family dynamics, so he was well aware that Callie hadn’t had an easy time since returning to the Jewells. This knowledge simmered within him, stoking a quiet resentment that surfaced as he regarded the newcomers.
"Callie, who are these two men with you?" Horatio asked, his brow furrowed. The sight of her flanked by two men was troubling, this was their sister, after all, and his mind leaped to unsavory conclusions.
A young woman out with two men - what kind of reputation did that suggest? Horatio's thoughts spiraled.
"Callie, I know Gideon doesn't love you, but is this really how you degrade yourself? What would Mr. Myers think of this?"
Calliope was taken aback by Horatio's wild assumptions. It was almost laughable. Lisette could dine out with those two men, but she couldn’t with her brothers?
"Mr. Horatio Jewell, are you kidding me? I'm simply having a meal with my brothers. How is that degrading myself?"
Calliope was exasperated. "So, when Lisette dines with you, is she degrading herself then?"
Horatio frowned, displeased by Calliope’s failure to address him as her brother, but he maintained his composure. "We’re Lisette’s brothers, not some strangers you just met."

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......
