Calliope glanced at Yara, giving her a nod. "Sure, let's do it."
Uriah leaned closer to Calliope, whispering, "Do you even know how to play cards? Do you want me to step in for you? Yara's got connections to some big-time players like a real poker king."
"A poker king, huh?" Calliope mused, "I've crossed paths with a few big names over at the Neon Casino myself."
"You've been to Neon Casino?" Uriah was shocked. He always pictured Calliope as this innocent lamb, but she was turning out to be anything but that. She could smoke, down whiskey like it was water, and despite all the drinks, not a hint of drunkenness. She could play the banjo like she was ready for Carnegie Hall, and she’d beaten Ronin at chess.
No one could be good at everything. Calliope couldn't be a card shark, too, could she? Uriah felt a whirl of mixed emotions and couldn't help but text Silas.
[Silas, be honest. Is there anything your wife can't do?]
Silas: [Not much, really.]
Uriah: [Come on. Everyone has their limits. She can't be some kind of prodigy at everything, right?]
Silas: [Well, surprise, she kind of is.]
Uriah was at a loss for words.
Calliope and her entourage followed Yara to the card room. Yara's card room was indeed huge, accommodating several tables. She chose the one in the center.
She looked at Calliope. "What game do you play?"
"Anything's fine," Calliope replied indifferently.

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......
