“Isn’t that what she’s supposed to do?” Zelda snapped, rolling her eyes. “If she won’t help her own brother, who will she help? People would laugh themselves silly if they heard about it!”
Ulysses shot Zelda a look.
Lately, it seemed he was coming to his senses a bit, realizing his mother’s grudge against Calliope had gotten way out of hand. Just because she’d had a rough delivery when Calliope was born, she’d never let go of it.
But honestly, that wasn’t Callie’s fault at all. She couldn’t control how she was born, could she?
He stared at Zelda, thinking she was getting a little obsessed.
“She is being unreasonable. We should talk to her about it sometime,” Valerian chimed in, trying to sound diplomatic.
“What about the shares?” Monty groaned, rubbing his forehead.
He wasn’t worried about anything else. The Jewell family’s whole livelihood depended on the Jewell Group. If something happened to the company, how would they make a living?
They’d be toast, plain and simple.
“She’s already sold them. There’s nothing we can do about it now, is there?” Horatio frowned. “We should probably talk to her. Do you think she really plans to just walk away after cashing out, leaving the Jewell Group in the dust?”
“That’s exactly what she’s planning,” Valerian said through gritted teeth. “She’ll take the money and leave us to rot. Calliope’s absolutely heartless.”
“I said it from the start, we never should’ve trusted her. She’s always been trouble,” Zelda huffed. “She’s just here to ruin our family.”
That Christmas Eve, the whole family sat around the table looking miserable, a stark contrast to the laughter and warmth coming from Calliope’s side of the world.
The next day.

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......
