Horatio glanced at Lisette and said, “Hey, this isn’t your fault.”
Ulysses gave her a quick, indifferent look. “Yeah, you’re not to blame for any of this.”
Lisette let out a small sigh of relief. At least they weren’t holding it against her. But as her nerves settled, a new idea crept in.
Maybe she could take a shot at winning over one of Calliope’s brothers. If only she’d known how loaded they were, she would never have wasted her time flirting with Valerian. Compared to Calliope’s brothers, poor Valerian was way out of his league.
Sure, she couldn’t be their sister, but maybe… she could become Calliope’s sister-in-law. That would put her in a whole different league. And wouldn’t Calliope just have to put up with her then? The thought sparked a new wave of confidence in Lisette.
...
Meanwhile, Calliope and her crew had just left a fancy jewelry store and were already ducking into another chic boutique. Her three brothers showered her with gifts—designer handbags, sparkling earrings, the works. Even Silas joined in, picking out some cool gadgets for her. Of course, Calliope didn’t just take; she picked out thoughtful presents for each of them too.
By the time they finished their spree, they were loaded down with shopping bags from all the most exclusive stores. Everyone was grinning, arms aching with luxury.
Lisette and her group watched from across the street, eyes bugging out at the mountain of high-end loot Calliope and her brothers had snagged. It was obvious—even Quentin had been treated to Calliope’s generosity. They looked like a scene straight out of a glossy magazine, so polished and joyful it almost hurt to look at them.
Lisette’s envy burned hotter. Sure, Horatio and the guys had bought her nice things before, but never anything close to this level. They had money, but not the kind that let you drop a fortune on a whim. Compared to Silas and his brothers, it was no contest.
It stung even more remembering how miserable Calliope’s childhood had been—Lisette had made sure of that. Yet now, here was Calliope, living the dream: glamorous, adored, and surrounded by the best of everything, including brothers who looked like they belonged on the cover of GQ.

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......
