Everyone in the conference room turned to look at Lisette.
“So what’s going on?” someone asked bluntly.
“Wait, what are you doing here, Lisette? What gives you the right to even be in this meeting?”
“Yeah, isn’t this a board meeting? Looks like some people who shouldn’t be here somehow made it in.”
All eyes shifted to Monty.
“Monty, why did you bring this woman from the money-pit department into the boardroom?”
Monty scowled. “That whole mess is over. Lisette already fixed the shortfall, so can we stop dragging that up? That’s not the point right now. Maybe let her finish what she has to say before you all start jumping down her throat?”
Calliope glanced over at Lisette. “So, what is it you want to say?”
Lisette let out a bitter laugh. “Calliope, you don’t even belong to the Jewell family. You scammed us for our shares, and you’ve been hanging around ever since. You’re a fraud, through and through.”
She held up her phone. “I’ve already called the cops. They’ll be here soon to arrest you.”
“And let me tell you all, Calliope didn’t just scam us out of our shares. She conned our grandfather, too. She pretended to be one of the Jewell kids and stole Kermit’s estate. She’s nothing but a dirty, low-life cheat!”
Lisette’s eyes narrowed as she hurled insult after insult at Calliope.
The room fell dead silent. Every gaze was fixed on Lisette and Calliope.
“Yeah, take your family drama somewhere else! We’re here to talk business.”
“You lost company money. You have no place here!”
Lisette had thought everyone would take the Jewell family’s side. After all, Calliope wasn’t even a real Jewell.
But these old suits, every last one of them, were backing Calliope.
Lisette was furious. Her face twisted in disbelief.
A senior board member turned to Calliope and said with a reassuring smile, “Ms. Callie, don’t worry about it. It doesn’t matter what your last name is. What matters to us is that you can get the job done.”

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......
