“Debby’s been fired.”
The girl at the neighboring desk leaned over, her voice low but urgent. “She did some pretty shady stuff, not just spreading rumors and stirring the pot, but she was also skimming money from the company. Once they found out, she was gone.”
Lisette frowned, glancing up from her computer. “Debby? Embezzling? Sounds like someone’s looking for a scapegoat while I was out of the office.”
The girl straightened up, her tone suddenly formal. “By the way, I’m Talia, your new assistant. If you need anything, just let me know! Oh, and the chairman wants to see you in the office.”
Lisette rolled her eyes before striding down the hall. She figured the “chairman” meant her father, Monty Jewell. He’d probably heard about the drama and wanted to reassure her. Honestly, it was a good opportunity. She could finally air her grievances about Calliope.
No way the Jewell family would drop her so quickly, right? They couldn’t just turn their backs like that.
Lisette knocked once, then pushed open the big oak door to the executive suite. Something was off. The décor had changed, the family photos swapped out for modern art, the smell of her dad’s favorite coffee replaced by something floral. She barely had time to process it before she saw who was sitting behind the desk
Calliope!
Lisette’s face darkened instantly. “What are you doing in my dad’s chair, Calliope? That’s his office, not yours. Get out of there!”
She glared at her, voice sharp. “Dad called me in. Why are you playing games in here?”
He looked at Lisette, eyebrows raised. “Can’t you read?”
Lisette stared at the engraved letters. For a moment she was sure she’d read it wrong. She blinked, shock twisting her features.
Calliope was the chairman? Monty had handed over the company? Had he lost his mind?
“This can’t be happening,” she muttered, stumbling back a step.
Just then, Monty came in through the door, his expression cool and unreadable. He glanced at Lisette and said in a flat tone, “Oh, Lisette, you’re here too.”

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......
