"What happened?" Calliope glanced at Portia.
"I gave her a little scare—told her she was up next," Portia said with a smug snort. "It rattled her good. Honestly, why do these people insist on picking fights with you? Idiots, the whole lot of them. Don’t they know how tough our Callie is?"
Calliope couldn’t help but laugh. "So that little problem is dealt with, for now at least."
"Exactly," Portia agreed, nodding. "No one handles it like you do, Callie."
Calliope’s lips quirked upward. "Lisette won’t forget this cruise anytime soon."
"She’s only got herself to blame," Portia said, her expression twisting in disdain. "Some people just have to see their reputation in tatters to feel satisfied. You’d think the Jewell family would realize by now she’s not worth their time... though with the way they are, Lisette will probably sweet-talk her way back into their good graces in no time."
Calliope wholeheartedly agreed. The Jewells had been disappointed in Lisette before, but it never lasted. All it took was a few words from her, and suddenly the whole family was wracked with guilt and convinced Lisette was their perfect little angel who could do no wrong.
Calliope was still mulling it over when her phone rang, startling her from her thoughts. She glanced at the screen—and her brows shot up in surprise. Portia caught sight of the caller ID as well, her expression mirroring Calliope’s shock.
"Why is Uriah Stewart calling you?" Portia blurted. "Isn’t he out on a mission with Mavis? Wasn’t this supposed to be Mavis’s final assignment?"

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......
