He was completely frazzled, practically losing his mind.
Now that they’d finally found Calliope, everyone instinctively let out a sigh of relief. They all knew Calliope was the one who could untangle this mess.
But now, no one was sure what her attitude would be.
“I’m on vacation,” Calliope said, glancing up at Monty. “As for why I gave up the shares, well, you already handed them over to me. I just want to cash out. Is that a problem? I mean, I’m just selling what’s mine, right?”
“But shouldn’t you have talked it over with us first?” Monty said, exasperated. “What are we supposed to do if you just go behind our backs like this?”
“You guys never talked things over with me before, did you?” Calliope shot him a look.
She’d been put through hell by the Jewell family. If the real Calliope had been physically weaker, if she hadn’t had brothers to protect her, who knows what would’ve happened to her?
The thought left a bitter taste in Calliope’s mouth. She’d already died once. If the former Calliope had cared about her family as much as she did, she would’ve ended up just as broken.
Monty was at a loss for words.
“We’re your parents, you’re our daughter. Isn’t it normal for you to discuss this with us?”
Zelda couldn’t hold back any longer, her tone sharp. “Those shares were a gift from us. Even if you wanted to sell them, shouldn’t you have at least asked if we wanted them first?”
“Did you ever stop to think about us? Or about the company? Calliope, why do you never consider anyone but yourself?”
It was obvious Zelda was furious, convinced Calliope was being selfish.
Calliope just gave her a cool sideways glance, not even bothering to argue.
Had Zelda ever considered her?

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......
