Valerian was fuming, his jaw clenched as he shot back, “Don’t look down on me like I’m some nobody. Do you have any idea how much money I actually have? Sure, maybe I don’t make a fortune at the office, but does that mean I can’t have other sources of income?”
He gave a sarcastic little laugh. “What do you even know?”
Calliope just stared for a moment, lost for words. She really wasn’t trying to insult him. She’d only meant to give a friendly heads-up. It wasn’t in her nature to judge people by their paycheck.
But Valerian wasn’t listening. And honestly, she was too tired to argue. If she pushed any further, he’d probably think she was out to get him.
Julius glanced at Valerian, a sly smile tugging at his lips. “Thinking of buying your little sister the same thing we just picked out for ours? Hate to break it to you, but you might not be able to swing it.”
With that, Julius turned away from him. “So, everyone made up their minds?”
“Yep,” Quentin and Norton both nodded.
“Miss, can you box up everything in this display for us? Except for these two pieces. Oh, and we’ll take everything over there, too.”
Julius gestured at the sparkling glass cases full of jewelry, talking to the sales associate as if he was ordering appetizers at a diner. He was practically buying out the whole store.
The sales clerk’s eyes went wide, her jaw nearly dropping. “I’m sorry, you said—what?”
She looked at Julius like she wasn’t sure if she’d misheard him.
Julius grinned. “Didn’t catch that? No problem, I’ll say it again. Everything except these two, and those two over there, pack up the rest for us, thanks!”
“Oh—oh! Of course!”
She hadn’t expected to meet a high roller like this today. Once the shock wore off, she rushed to grab her coworkers, and together they started boxing up the jewelry as fast as they could.

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......
