Everyone was even now. She was only sticking around at this point to annoy Lisette, nothing more.
And then there was the company. The company was originally started by her grandfather. Calliope just couldn’t stand the thought of seeing his legacy fall into someone else’s hands. Even if it didn’t end up with her, it definitely shouldn’t be Lisette’s.
If the Jewell family turned out to be too clueless to hold onto it, Calliope wouldn’t mind snatching it up herself.
...
That evening, when Calliope headed home, Monty and the others walked out right behind her.
Lisette offered to give them a ride, but no one was interested.
“Lisette, you go on ahead. We’ll ride with Callie,” Monty called out.
“There’s quite a few of you. Won’t it be crowded? I can split the group if you want,” Lisette suggested, trying to sound helpful.
“Callie’s SUV is huge. We’ll fit just fine. And we can talk about the company on the way,” Monty replied with a grin.
“But Horatio’s legs… Callie’s car sits pretty high off the ground. Isn’t that going to be tough for him?” Lisette pressed, trying to get at least one of them in her car.
But the group made it clear—no one wanted to ride with her. Calliope had suddenly become everyone’s favorite, like the hottest pie at Thanksgiving dinner.
“It’s not a problem,” Monty said, “Valerian and I can help lift him in. And Callie’s got muscles. She could probably carry Horatio herself.”
Monty glanced around and realized Calliope had already started walking to her car, Horatio and Valerian right behind her.
He jogged to catch up. “Hey, wait up! Don’t leave me behind!”
She immediately guessed he was inside. Probably because she hadn’t come home tonight, he’d decided to come here instead.
“Whose car is that?” Horatio asked, glancing over.
Calliope didn’t answer; she was already striding toward the front door. She stepped into the grand foyer and spotted Silas sitting comfortably on the couch, sipping coffee, a platter of fruit in front of him.
Zelda, who never liked Calliope and wasn’t afraid of her, suddenly looked nervous in front of Silas.
“Mr. Myers, are you hungry? Dinner’s almost ready!” Zelda offered, her voice a little shaky.
Silas’s eyes drifted to the family photo on the wall. “Callie’s not in the family portrait,” he remarked quietly.
Zelda fell silent, unable to come up with any response.

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......
