He stood beside Portia, his gaze cutting straight to Calliope. His presence radiated authority as he demanded, “How much has she had to drink?” A thunderous scowl darkened his features as he spoke.
“Almost all of those are hers,” Portia blurted, glancing at Nigel with confusion, unable to fathom why he’d appeared so suddenly or why his tone was so commanding.
“Nigel turned his piercing gaze on Damien. “Is this how you look after her?” he challenged. “Does Mr. Myers let his wife get drunk? While he’s gone, you just stand by and let her do this? Do you really think that’s acceptable?”
The force of Nigel’s words was suffocating. Damien felt a wave of shame crash over him—he’d failed, and he knew it.
“I—no, it’s not—” Damien stammered, belatedly realizing he should have intervened, should have protected her from the drinking games.
“Are you hoping she’ll drink herself to death?” Nigel’s tone was icy. “Shouldn’t you be the one stepping in? Or are all Mr. Myers’s people this incompetent?” His eyes flashed with contempt.
Nigel didn’t wait for an answer. He strode over to Calliope, his tall figure imposing as he looked down at her. “That’s enough.”
With that, he reached out and deftly confiscated the glass from Calliope’s hand.
Calliope stared up at him, bewildered. “What are you doing?” She reached for her glass, but Nigel simply held it out of her reach.

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 !!!...
