As Calliope climbed aboard the helicopter, Portia was standing below, waving after her with all her strength.
A prickle of unease for Mavis crept into Portia’s heart. But she reminded herself—Calliope was tough. No way would Callie let anything happen to Mavis.
When those two got back, she and Calliope would have to teach that jerk Uriah a lesson he wouldn’t forget.
The helicopter quickly lifted off, slicing through the sky until it was nothing but a speck.
Portia kept her eyes on it until it disappeared, then finally turned to head back inside.
She only got a step before someone blocked her path—Nigel. He stood there, gaze trained on the spot where the chopper had vanished. For a long moment, he just stared, his eyes unreadable. At last, he looked at Portia.
“That was Callie, wasn’t it?”
“Where is she headed?”
“Did something urgent come up? Why leave in the middle of the party like this?”
The reception hadn’t even wrapped up, but Callie was whisked away in a helicopter, as if something critical had happened.
Portia met his eyes. “Yeah,” she answered quietly. She didn’t have any particular quarrel with Nigel—sure, he was dangerous, but at least he’d never meant Callie any harm. And anyway, Callie had once saved his life.
“What happened?” Nigel’s tone was icy, all business.
“Mavis—she’s in trouble. She’s one of our closest friends. It’s life or death, so Callie left to help her,” Portia said.
“Mavis?” Nigel frowned, searching his memory, then his expression shifted. “The quiet girl who’s always tagging along with Uriah?”
“That’s her,” Portia confirmed with a nod.

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 !!!...
