Gideon stood there, not saying a word, his eyes fixed on Calliope like he was trying to see through her. But Calliope couldn’t care less about what Gideon thought.
"I’m not in the mood for drinks anymore. How about we head back?" Calliope suggested to Portia.
"Sounds good to me. What a buzzkill," Portia replied, scrunching her nose in annoyance. She grabbed her purse, casting a deliberate glare Gideon's way.
Gideon frowned, his expression a mix of confusion and frustration as he watched Calliope. He wondered, ‘What can Callie have that I don’t know about? Is Portia trying to mess with me? Calliope isn’t a woman of mystery. What kind of skills could she hide?’
The thought irked Gideon, but then he shook it off. They'd been friends for ages. There were no secrets between them.
That little stunt with hacking into the surveillance? Probably, it was just something she picked up somewhere, nothing too impressive.
Meanwhile, Lisette and her brothers had been waiting for the moment when Calliope would be carted off by the police. Surely, if she was taken away, she'd come begging them to testify on her behalf.
But to their surprise, Calliope had sorted everything out within minutes. The couple causing trouble got escorted away by the cops, and she walked out without a scratch. She’d even managed to access the surveillance footage from her phone.
Ulysses and his group were left feeling a mix of disbelief and something else they couldn’t quite put their finger on. They never thought Calliope had it in her.
"Wow, she's got some skills. Wonder where she picked that up," Lisette commented, a smile on her face but her eyes cold as ice.
"Just a fluke," Ulysses scoffed, refusing to acknowledge any real talent in Calliope.

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......
