Valerian stared at Calliope, his eyes rimmed red with frustration. He looked like he was about to lose it.
“Calliope, are you really going to do this to us?”
“We’re your real family. How can you treat outsiders better than your own blood? Don’t you think that’s wrong?”
“Don’t you think you’ve crossed a line?”
His voice was sharp, slicing through the room as he fired off accusation after accusation.
But Calliope just met his gaze, calm and unflinching. “And what makes you qualified to call yourself my brother? When strangers treat me better than you ever have, maybe you should ask yourselves what you did wrong.”
“And Lisette isn’t even your real sister, but you bend over backward for her. Why is that?”
Her words were pointed, her glare icy and unwavering. She held Valerian’s gaze, refusing to shrink away. She’d never wronged the Jewell family. Her conscience was clear.
Valerian’s face twisted with anger. He puffed up, jaw clenched. “Lisette is different. She might not be my real sister, but she’s important to me—to all of us. We grew up together, you know that!”
“Oh, so I didn’t grow up with you too?” Calliope shot back. “Why is it always me who has to suck it up, always me who’s supposed to give in to her?”
He couldn’t understand why Franco was defending Calliope. In his mind, Lisette had always been the good one, the obedient one, the one who put others first. Calliope always seemed to be picking fights, always keeping score.
“Lisette’s the better person?” Franco couldn’t help but laugh. “If my boss wasn’t extraordinary, do you think she’d be running the show? People don’t follow her because they have to, they follow her because they respect her. Lisette’s just a good actress who’s fooled you all. Honestly, you guys are clueless.”
Franco shook his head. “All the loyalty and help Callie’s given you over the years, you treat it like it’s nothing. She’s pulled you out of a dozen messes, and this is how you pay her back?”
“If she’d done all that for a dog, at least the dog would wag its tail for her in thanks. Even a dog knows loyalty. Even a dog shows gratitude. But you guys? All you ever show her is resentment.”

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......
