“That poison?” Nigel had heard of it—it was infamous for a reason. He never imagined that someone would use it against him. Who could have done this? And with such ruthless intent? In a way, this was even crueler than killing him outright.
“That’s some vicious stuff,” Calliope remarked. “You must've really crossed someone—or did something awful for someone to go this far.”
“Lucky for you, I happened to be here. You were only just poisoned, so the antidote worked easily enough.” She paused, her tone turning serious. “But if it had gone on any longer, there would’ve been permanent damage—irreversible harm to your nerves and brain.”
She continued briskly, “I know you’re not the type to want to owe anyone, so I’ll just bill you my usual rate for this. Just transfer the payment to my account.” Calliope sent him her bank details and the standard price list. “You should have it on your phone now.”
“This is to clear out the remaining toxins.” She handed him a small porcelain bottle. “Take one pill a day for three days. You’ll be fine after that.”
Nigel accepted the vial, hesitated, then glanced at her. “Thanks.”
“No need to thank me. It’s a business transaction, after all,” Calliope replied coolly. “You’re all set. We’ll be leaving now.”
With that, she didn’t linger. She simply motioned to Damien, and together they left. Nigel stayed behind, likely lost in thought, trying to piece together who’d poisoned him—and why.
On the way back to her room, Calliope glanced at Damien. “Did you report this to Mr. Myers yet?” she asked.
Damien jumped, startled. “What?”
“I treated his rival,” Calliope said evenly. “I just saved Nigel’s life. Aren’t you going to tell Mr. Myers?”
Damien faltered, visibly unsure of where this was headed. Was she accusing him? Testing him? Or just gauging his reaction?

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......
