After the movie, they strolled out into the cool evening, still buzzing with excitement. They wandered down the sidewalk, chatting about the plot twists and characters.
“The special effects were actually pretty awesome, right?” Portia grinned, bouncing on her heels. “Callie, what did you think?”
Calliope returned her smile. “Yeah, I liked it. It was way better than I expected. By the way, how’s your family’s company doing? Your brother and everyone okay?”
“All good!” Portia replied, then snapped her fingers as something occurred to her. “Oh! Callie, remember that woman you warned us about? The one you said we shouldn’t hire?”
“Yeah, what happened?”
“She got arrested!” Portia shook her head in disbelief. “You totally called it. She turned out to be trouble, big time. If we’d hired her, who knows what mess she’d have brought. Turns out, she got a job at another firm, and nearly wrecked the place, got the boss in all kinds of legal trouble.”
“Guess she really was dangerous,” Calliope said.
Portia nodded emphatically. “Seriously, thanks to you, our company dodged a bullet. If not for your heads-up, we could’ve been in deep trouble.”
“I guess that means I can keep slacking off without guilt,” Portia joked, a hand over her heart in mock relief.
Calliope laughed. “As long as everything’s okay, that’s what matters.”
Mavis, who’d heard bits and pieces of the story before, changed the subject. “Hey, Callie, about that letter from your grandpa... Are you sure you’re not really part of the Jewell family?”

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......
