Monty was feeling a bit uneasy. If he kept staying here, he wasn't sure how much longer they could take it. It was only the first day, and already the pressure was sky-high.
Everyone was walking on eggshells, terrified that one tiny slip-up would piss off Silas.
Horatio shook his head. “Who knows, really. Guess it's up to Callie. But those two, they seem pretty tight. Mr. Myers really seems to like her.”
“Yeah, I think so too,” Valerian said with a grin. “I mean, I think Callie still cares about us.”
Just thinking about that car, he doubted Calliope could’ve pulled it off on her own. Most likely, Silas had helped her out. Which probably meant Silas was on board with her getting closer to them.
“How do you figure?” Monty looked at Valerian skeptically. Even though Valerian sounded so sure, Monty honestly didn’t feel it. He didn’t get the sense that Calliope cared all that much about them.
Sure, lately she’d been answering their questions and managing the company, but you could tell she was keeping her distance. She used to be so warm and enthusiastic with them. Now she was just… different.
He doubted things could ever go back to how they were. Callie didn’t try to cheer them up or joke around with them anymore.
“You guys might not notice it, but I do!”
“Notice what?” Horatio and Monty both eyed Valerian, confused.
“Callie got me a present. A Christmas present. And I bet she got you guys something too! She used to always get us gifts, remember? And they were always super nice.”
“Well, this time’s no different. She’s really showing off what she can do now!” Valerian was clearly in a great mood, thinking about the gift he was about to get.
She hadn’t offered him, her own father, anything nearly as extravagant. He was clearly a little put out.
“I didn’t do anything!” Valerian beamed. “And actually, she doesn’t know I know yet. She hasn’t told me directly. I just overheard her talking about it.”
“So it’s a secret. You guys gotta pretend you don’t know, alright? She wants it to be a surprise! I’m sure she’s just waiting for the car to arrive before she says anything.”
“Really?” Horatio was still skeptical.
“Really. Horatio, I bet she got you something too! Just wait. She’s loaded now, she’s got Silas in her corner, and she’s honestly pretty amazing!”

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......
