Archie let out a cold laugh. “Well? What’s your version of events, then?”
Silas didn’t flinch. “Believe it or not, I would never betray Callie. She means everything to me.”
He paused, unwavering. “Yes, the person in those photos is also important to me, but not at all in the way Callie is.”
“Archie, you really don’t have to jump to conclusions just because of a few pictures.”
He met Archie’s gaze, steady and unapologetic. There wasn’t even a hint of guilt.
Archie had expected him to squirm, maybe stammer through a weak excuse—some sign of a guilty conscience. But the calm confidence in Silas’s eyes caught him off guard. For a moment, Archie actually believed him—there was nothing false there, no shiftiness at all.
“So you’re saying this has nothing to do with hurting Callie?” Archie narrowed his eyes, studying Silas as if searching for a crack in his mask. “If that’s truly the case… fine. I’ll take your word for it. For now.”
Silas just shrugged, indifferent.
Archie hesitated, but let it go. He’d come back for two reasons: to check on Mavis, and to get to the bottom of whatever was going on with Silas. He hadn’t said anything to Calliope about it—he wanted to protect her, and honestly, he was hoping he wouldn’t discover anything that could hurt her. He didn’t want Calliope to get hurt—not if he could help it.
If Silas really was innocent, Archie was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Still, uncertainty gnawed at him. He could only hope Silas was telling the truth; otherwise, Callie would be the one to suffer.

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......
