"What!" Leland shrieked, his voice cracking. He spun on Damien. "Damien, she poisoned my boss! And you have the nerve to call Mr. Howell vicious? Your whole crew is toxic! Let go of him! Sir, hang on, I'll get you a doctor immediately!"
"No need for a doctor yet. Calliope didn't poison me, she's helping me!" Nigel’s head was pounding, and Leland’s shrieking was drilling straight into his skull. The commotion was starting to draw stares from hotel guests.
Calliope wanted to cover her face and walk away from the circus.
She looked from the swaying Nigel to the panicked Leland. "If you have a competent doctor on speed dial, then by all means, go find one."
She was about to release Nigel and leave them to it when he grabbed her arm with surprising desperate strength. "Don't leave. Help me!"
"Help you?" Calliope gestured toward Silas’s assistant. "Your man here doesn't seem to trust me, and frankly, neither does mine. I think it's best if I don't get involved in this crossfire."
"No, this poison feels… strange. Different. You have to help me!" Nigel insisted, clinging to her. His dizziness intensified, his knees buckled, and he suddenly pitched forward as a dead weight.
Leland was too slow to react, but Calliope moved reflexively, catching Nigel by the back of his collar before he hit the floor. She looked down at the unconscious billionaire with a sense of profound resignation.
"Well, your Mr. Howell has passed out. So, are you going to stand here arguing until he suffers permanent damage, or are you going to let me handle this?"
"Ma'am, don't help them! It'd be better for everyone if he just died!" Damien urged, though he looked uneasy. "This Nigel character is always competing with Mr. Myers, trying to steal everything from him. You'll only get hurt getting mixed up with him!"

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......
