“I’m Callie’s real brother—her second oldest, actually. Which pretty much makes me your half-boss, don’t you think?”
“If you’re polite to Callie, you should show us the same respect. You only get to eat because of her. Keep up that lousy attitude and I can have Callie fire you in a heartbeat.”
Valerian was sure Calliope was only giving him the car because she was under his thumb. She couldn’t do anything to him. If he told her to fire Franco, he was certain she’d do it.
“Oh, so you’re my half-boss? Have you ever paid me half a paycheck, then?”
Franco couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head. “I’ve known Callie for years. We’re not just colleagues. We’re friends. Compared to me, what are you? You’re her brother, sure, but you don’t know her a fraction as well as I do. Don’t go waving your family card around. Callie can cut you off anytime she wants.”
“And Valerian, I’m being nice here, telling you not to touch this car for your own good. It’s not yours. If anything happens to it, you couldn’t afford to pay for the damages. You know how much this car is worth, right? Even the tiniest scratch would bankrupt you!”
Franco’s handsome face was set and cold. He was trying to let Valerian save face, but apparently Valerian didn’t care about that, so Franco wasn’t going to bother either.
So what if he was Calliope’s brother? To be honest, Franco knew he wasn’t even her real brother.
“Why would I need to pay anything?” Valerian shot back. “This car was a gift for me. If I want to drive it into the river, that’s my business, not yours!”
“Franco, don’t think you can boss me around just because you’re Callie’s assistant and a little closer to her. You don’t get to order me around!”
Valerian flat-out ignored Franco—stubborn, arrogant, and absolutely convinced he was right.
Franco just stared. This guy was impossible. No matter how clear he made things, Valerian just wouldn’t listen.
A crowd had started to gather, people whispering and craning their necks to see what would happen. Everyone was wondering: if Calliope showed up, whose side would she take?

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......
