Crispin slipped over to Portia and Calliope, lowering his voice, “What’s going on? How did you two end up in here?”
“Relax, Crispin. Everyone here is a friend of Callie’s,” Portia said, beaming. “And now they’re my friends, too!”
“Seriously?” Crispin stared at her in disbelief.
Just then, a woman beside them clinked her glass with Portia’s. “Portia, how about a duet?”
Crispin’s eyes went wide. That was the legendary, notoriously hard-to-please actress—the one with the impossible reputation!
And here she was, inviting Portia to sing with her?
“One sec!” Portia laughed. “Let me talk to my brother first, okay?”
“Sure, I’ll wait!” the actress called back.
Crispin was stunned. They looked like long-lost friends.
That actress wasn’t just famously difficult—her background was as powerful as it was mysterious, with whispers of military ties.
People in business, like them, usually had zero chance of getting in her orbit. But Portia seemed to have charmed her effortlessly.
“Crispin, Nancy’s open to working with you,” Calliope said quietly. “Go have a private chat with her. If things work out, great. If not, let’s keep it amicable.”
“Mr. Sutton, right?” Nancy smiled, her tone warm. “How about we step outside? My agent’s waiting.”
“Um…now?” Crispin was still reeling.
His family had chased a partnership with Nancy for ages—her image was perfect for their brand—but they’d never even gotten through the door.
Yet Portia, with Calliope’s help, had somehow pulled it off.

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......
