"Drugged?" Nigel blinked at Calliope, his vision swimming. He rubbed his temples harder, trying to focus, but Calliope’s face kept splitting into two distinct images.
Calliope sighed, exasperated by his rapid deterioration. "Come with me, Mr. Howell. We need to get you out of here."
Seeing him swaying dangerously on his feet, she grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the exit, supporting a good portion of his weight.
As they were leaving the bar, she caught sight of Lisette in the distance, phone raised, recording them. Their eyes met for a second across the crowded room. Lisette's hand trembled slightly, but she quickly replaced her shock with a triumphant smirk.
"Cozying up to Nigel Howell? Silas is going to lose his mind when he sees this," Lisette sneered to herself. "Once I send this video to him, she's finished."
Beside her, Blythe watched them leave with narrowed eyes. "Why would she be with Nigel?"
Earlier, she had seen Calliope mingling effortlessly with that elite group—a circle Blythe had been trying to break into for years without success, despite her status as a daughter of the White family. Yet Calliope, with her questionable background, was right in the thick of it. It was infuriating.
Blythe was used to being the best, to never being surpassed. The thought that Calliope was now outdoing her in social circles left a bitter taste in her mouth. She couldn't let this upstart get ahead of her.
Lisette glanced at Blythe, a thoughtful look on her face. "Calliope saved Nigel's life recently, so he probably feels grateful. Otherwise, how could someone like her ever get close to him? Besides, everyone knows Nigel and Silas are sworn enemies."

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......
