“Cookies, fruit, soda, you name it. But Calliope never touches any of it!”
“No way, seriously?”
“For real! She just gives it all away. I was lucky enough to get something from her once, an insanely expensive chocolate cake!”
“Yeah, me too! She gave me a caramel latte once, and Horatio was the one who bought it for her!”
“Calliope’s so generous! That’s what a true heiress looks like. Foster kids just can’t compare, you know?”
“Exactly. Foster kids can’t really fit in at this level. It’s all just an act!”
“Honestly, I hope Calliope stays our boss forever.”
The room buzzed with gossip.
“And that Lisette’s been draining company funds! She should just leave already!”
“The Jewell family is ridiculous, keeping a foster daughter around like she’s something special. She’s not as pretty as Calliope, not as talented. She can’t compare at all!”
“Lisette’s so ungrateful, too. The first time Calliope came to the company, Lisette actually set her up! If it weren’t for Lisette, Calliope would’ve never left in the first place!”
“Wow, you don’t see foster daughters this nasty every day. Why don’t the Jewells just kick her out?”
“For real! Three sons and a daughter, and they still keep a foster girl around? What for?”
Lisette sat quietly in the stall, listening to every word.
She couldn’t take it anymore. Suddenly, she shoved the door open and stepped out. She knew if she didn’t, they’d just keep talking, probably even worse.
Lisette caught her own reflection in the mirror, then looked at Calliope again.
She had to admit, Calliope really was more beautiful than her, and she dressed so differently now, too. She looked… powerful.
“Calliope, are you doing this on purpose?”
Calliope blinked, puzzled. “Doing what on purpose?”
“You’re deliberately making things hard for me, aren’t you? You go out of your way to be perfect, to win over those damn employees, just to make me look bad. Isn’t that right?”
“I’m telling you, Horatio and the others are going to see through you sooner or later. You’re just making people hate you! You think you’re special just because you’ve got a little authority now? I can win everyone’s love, but you never will!”
“Even Zelda loves me more now. You’ll never win your mother back! No matter how hard you try, your own mom will always hate you! Face it, Calliope, you’re just pathetic!”

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......
