“Really? And you think you can protect him for the rest of his life?”
Calliope had already found Archie, and the two of them came down the steps together, side by side. Portia and Mavis followed behind, and everyone shot Gavin a look of pure disappointment as they saw him.
Honestly, Gavin was being a real piece of work. He played favorites, and didn’t even try to hide it. He didn’t care about Archie’s well-being, he only wanted to use him. They were both his sons, but Gavin treated them as differently as night and day.
Everyone’s heart ached for Archie. Archie had never done anything wrong, but it was pretty obvious Gavin just plain didn’t like him. He doted on Chester, even though Chester couldn’t hold a candle to Archie.
“You old fool. You must be blind if you can’t see who’s good and who isn’t,” Calliope said, planting herself right in front of Gavin. “Archie is a thousand times the man Chester will ever be. Your company wouldn’t be anywhere near where it is today without him, and now you want to just toss him aside?”
“Dream on. Archie may not have his mom to watch his back anymore, but he’s got us. We’re his friends, and we’re not going to let you push him around.”
She stared Gavin down, not backing off an inch.
Gavin shot a cold, sarcastic laugh at Archie. “Well, who would’ve guessed? You might not be good at much, but you sure know how to pick loyal friends.”
“Guess that’s one thing I beat you at.” Archie’s voice was icy as he glared at Gavin.
Gavin narrowed his eyes. “So what’s your plan now? Ignore my rules and just walk out with your little gang of buddies?”
He stared at Archie, face twisted with anger.
“That’s right,” Archie replied, his expression stony.

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......
