“What did you expect? That family is gross!” Portia rolled her eyes. “Honestly, they don’t care about anything but themselves. But if they found out the truth? Oh, you can bet they’d come running back to try and take the company.”
Calliope nodded. Portia was right. The Jewell family was just like that.
But honestly? She didn’t care much, either. She never really gave a damn about the Jewell family’s stuff in the first place.
After a little more gossiping, Calliope steered the conversation to something more fun.
“So, what’s the plan for Christmas?” she asked.
Every year, they’d go somewhere together for a few days—hit the slopes in Aspen, rent a cabin upstate, or take a city trip. This year would be no different, except it sounded like their group was going to be bigger than ever.
“I’m bringing Silas and my foster brothers,” Calliope announced.
Portia grinned. “I’m dragging my boyfriend along, too.”
Calliope’s gaze shifted to Mavis. “What about you?”
Mavis just shrugged, reaching for her wine. “It’s not exactly a secret I’m flying solo. No boyfriend here, but don’t worry. I kind of love it that way.”
Calliope winked. “Maybe Silas can bring Uriah along. You know, just for you? Give it another shot?”
She shot Mavis a sly look.
Uriah was Mavis’s mentor, and her longtime crush. And if you asked Calliope, she was pretty sure Uriah liked Mavis, too. Problem was, he had this whole ‘I’m older, I’m your mentor, this isn’t appropriate’ thing going on.
But maybe if Mavis put in a little more effort…
“Let’s be real,” Mavis said, taking a bigger sip of her drink. “He just doesn’t get me. I already tried, but he won’t give me a chance, so what’s the point?”

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......
