Horatio said, “Even if you’re not close with us, you can’t just walk away from the family like this!”
“Yeah, Callie, you can’t just break family ties like snapping your fingers!”
Calliope turned around, a small, amused smile playing on her lips. “You guys have been tailing us this whole time? Family ties, huh? But what if I told you there’s no blood between us? Would you still be saying that?”
She shrugged. “Anyway, you don’t need the details. Leaving the Jewell family is only a matter of time for me.”
Horatio and the others frowned, clearly unsettled.
But Lisette’s eyes sharpened. She’d caught that one little phrase—no blood between them.
What did she mean by that?
Could it be… Calliope wasn’t really a Jewell? Lisette had always thought it odd. Calliope looked nothing like her so-called brothers, Monty or Zelda. The family resemblance just wasn’t there.
Horatio and the others brushed it off, thinking Calliope was just talking out of anger.
But Lisette’s curiosity was piqued. She decided she had to look into it. Maybe Calliope really wasn’t a Jewell after all.
The movie theater lights dimmed, and the previews started to roll.
Calliope glanced at them and said coolly, “Movie’s starting. Time to zip it.”
With that, she turned around, not bothering to look back.
Horatio and his crew couldn’t focus on the movie at all. Their minds kept circling back to Calliope’s threat to leave the Jewell family. She sounded dead serious this time, and they all knew, if anyone could pull off something like that, it’d be her.
They barely paid attention as the film played, and before they knew it, the credits were rolling.
Calliope praised Julius’s acting, then added, “Didn’t expect the movie to be this good, honestly.”
As they headed out, they overheard snippets of excited conversation from other moviegoers.

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......
