That was his job—his responsibility.
“Let it go,” Portia said, waving a hand dismissively as she strode ahead. “No need to fret. Callie has someone else looking out for her. She doesn’t need you playing bodyguard.”
Damien shot her a skeptical glance. “What’s that supposed to mean? Someone else? Did Mr. Stewart arrange something?”
“Uriah?” Portia gave a short, incredulous laugh. “As if. He can barely remember what day it is. You think he’s worrying about Callie’s safety? Don’t make me laugh.”
“So what are you saying—?”
“I’m saying Nigel’s stepping up. He’s on his way to watch over Callie right now. To be honest, he’s far more reliable than any of you have ever been,” Portia said with a hint of exasperation.
“Nigel?” Damien’s brows drew together. “What’s he got to do with it? Calliope is our responsibility. We can protect her ourselves!”
Portia snorted. “By the time you get off your high horse, it’ll be too late. Mr. Howell, on the other hand, saw where Callie was headed, knew there could be trouble, and decided to follow her—even without being asked. Now that’s initiative.”
She actually sounded impressed, dropping a few words of praise for Nigel.
Damien’s jaw tightened, a dark, stormy cloud settling over his features as the bitter sting of jealousy took hold.
Calliope was his to protect. When did that become Nigel’s place? What the hell was he butting in for? Damien’s mind raced—Nigel was just trying to take advantage of Mr. Myers being tied up. He knew exactly what he was doing, waiting to swoop in when everyone else was too busy. Shameless.
“He’s no saint. He’s got his own agenda,” Damien muttered.

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......
