The man let out a low chuckle. "Hmm, interesting. But why don’t you tell me who you think I am? And do you have any idea why I’m here to see you?"
Calliope didn’t hesitate. "You’re my husband’s father. Oliver Myers, right?"
He arched an eyebrow, saying nothing.
She went on, her tone unbothered, "So, let me guess. You’re the guy who walked out on his wife and kid years ago. Now, all of a sudden, you show up at my door. I bet you want me to talk Silas into coming back to you, to take over your little empire. Or maybe, you’d rather I divorce him, so you can set him up with a daughter-in-law you can actually control. Someone who fits into your plans for a perfect merger, right?"
Oliver’s smile faded.
Calliope glanced at the fruit bowl in the center of the dining table, grabbed an orange, and started peeling it, her nails digging into the skin. She spoke slowly, as if she had all the time in the world.
"I heard things haven’t exactly been peachy for you lately. That younger son you pinned your last hopes on? Turns out he’s seriously ill. Not much use to you now, huh? And since there aren’t any more kids in the picture, you start thinking, maybe Silas isn’t such a bad candidate after all. He ticks all the right boxes, doesn’t he?"
Oliver didn’t know much about Calliope, aside from the fact she came from the Jewell family, the once-prominent, now practically bankrupt Jewell family.
He’d always thought she was supposed to marry Gideon, but somehow, she’d ended up with his son Silas instead. In Oliver’s eyes, Calliope was a nobody—no connections, no ambitions, nothing worth mentioning—definitely not fit to be his daughter-in-law.
He could find someone better for Silas. In fact, the woman he’d lined up for his younger son had backed out once she found out about the illness, but if Silas took her place, it would be ideal.

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......
