Calliope and her friends were gathered in a cozy private booth at their favorite downtown bistro, the table crowded with plates of burgers, loaded fries, and all sorts of comfort food. Laughter and chatter filled the air as they dug in.
“They didn’t follow us in here, did they?” Portia asked, glancing over her shoulder, her eyes narrowed with suspicion.
“No way,” Quentin replied, shaking his head. “This place is reservation-only, and it’s always packed. Even if you book ahead, there’s a long wait.”
Portia scrunched up her nose, clearly unimpressed. “Thank goodness. Just seeing the Jewell family ruins my appetite. Why would they think Callie would ever help them, after everything they’ve done to her?”
Mavis nodded emphatically. “Seriously, the Jewells are the worst.”
“Let’s not talk about them while we eat,” Calliope said, brushing off the subject with a wave of her hand.
She’d finally come to terms with the fact that the Jewell family had nothing to do with her anymore, and honestly, she didn’t care about them at all. If they wanted to waste their time tailing her, that was their problem, not hers.
“Yeah, no more talk about them!” Norton chimed in, grinning as he reached for another slice of pizza. “Let’s just enjoy the food. Besides, aren’t we all hitting that auction tomorrow?”
“Oh my gosh, yes!” Portia’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “I’ve been dying to check out this auction for ages. I heard there are some gorgeous antiques and collectibles. Maybe I’ll find something I love!”
“If there’s something you want, I’m sure they’ll have it,” Julius said with a wink.
“What about you, Mavis? Anything you’re hoping to get?” Norton asked, turning to her with genuine curiosity.
Mavis was caught off guard. She was sitting between Norton on her left and Uriah on her right, which made her a little uneasy. The sudden attention made her freeze for a second.
“I, uh, I kinda like everything,” she replied, trying to sound casual.
“If there’s anything you really want, let me know. I’ll get it for you as a gift,” Norton offered, his tone playful but sincere.

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......
