“No way. We have to get it back!” Zelda was fuming, practically stomping her foot. “She’s getting worse every day, seriously. I never agreed with her taking your stuff. Your father and the others are just too spineless! That’s exactly why that harpy can walk all over them!”
And with that, Zelda grabbed Lisette’s arm and marched her toward the door.
Lisette’s lips curled up in a satisfied little smirk. She quickly wiped it away before anyone else could see.
As they stepped out into the living room, Lisette made sure her eyes were red, like she’d been holding back tears. She glanced at Monty and the others.
“Mom, just let it go, okay? It’s really not a big deal. I mean it, I’m fine!”
“Really, I don’t need it back. Compared to the family business and Horatio, what I’m giving up is nothing.”
Everyone heard Lisette’s quivering voice, and the whole room looked at her suspiciously.
Calliope, too, was watching her with a puzzled look. What’s all this about sacrifice? Calliope thought.
Zelda whirled on Calliope. “Calliope, you’ve been taking a ton of Lisette’s things, haven’t you? What are you, a burglar? Don’t you feel any shame?”
Monty interjected, “What’s the big deal, Zelda? I told Callie she could take those things. Most of that stuff was Callie’s to begin with! She’s just taking back what was hers, and if she doesn’t want it, she’ll give it back. Just like when Lisette used to ask for Callie’s things. No harm done, right?”
Horatio gave Lisette a sidelong glance. “Lisette, are you upset about this?”
Valerian stayed quiet, just looking thoughtful.
“Oh, come on,” Zelda spat, glaring daggers at Calliope. “You didn’t take those just because you wanted them. Admit it, you’re just picking on Lisette!”
“Her mother’s keepsakes?” Calliope arched a brow, glancing at Lisette. “So, you’re saying keepsakes like that aren’t up for grabs, huh?”
She turned to Lisette, eyebrow raised.
Lisette suddenly felt a sinking feeling.
Zelda’s voice was cold. “Those were her mother’s things. How could you just take them?”
Calliope shrugged. “Right, those are her mom’s, so I shouldn’t touch them. But what about my grandfather’s keepsakes? Lisette took those. Was that okay? Or is her mom more important than my grandpa?”

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......
