What could possibly be going on between Calliope and Nigel?
Damien was standing right there, and everyone knew he was Silas's right-hand man.
If Mr. Myers didn’t think the world of Calliope, there’s no way he’d have assigned Damien to keep an eye on her.
And if Damien himself was defending Calliope, there couldn’t possibly be any fire behind this smoke.
Clearly, Lisette was just making things up.
“That Miss Lisette must be spreading rumors because she can’t measure up to Calliope in the slightest,” Damien said, a chuckle threading through his words. “No wonder she’ll always come up short. Slandering others is the only talent she has, it seems.”
The crowd around them nodded, their suspicion rapidly turning to mockery. People began eyeing Lisette with open scorn, as if they couldn’t believe how ridiculous she was being.
“What a nasty piece of work—smearing someone out of spite.”
“Gossip like that could ruin a marriage!”
“Absolutely. Sure, Mr. Myers and Nigel are rivals, but neither of them would ever stoop so low.”
“Exactly.”
Lisette, meanwhile, was suffocating—literally and figuratively. It was only then that Valerian finally rushed forward, frantic. “Mr. Howell, let her go! She can’t breathe!”
Nigel’s lips curled into a cold, dangerous grin. He fixed Valerian with a steely glare. “Watch her, you fool. If she ever comes after me again, I’ll take your precious Jewell family down with her. All the way to hell.”
With that, he shoved Lisette back to Valerian with little ceremony, then accepted a moist towelette from Leland and scrubbed his hands vigorously, as if ridding himself of something filthy.
Lisette collapsed into Valerian’s arms, sliding all the way to the floor. She was trembling uncontrollably, gasping, her eyes bright with tears of desperation. A dark stain spread quickly beneath her on the polished floor.

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 !!!...
