"Are we going all in on this?" Uriah leaned closer to Calliope, whispering, "What if you lose? Your emerald bracelet will be gone. How about I throw in something of mine for the bet? Silas can pay me back later."
"No need," Calliope replied coldly.
Uriah sighed, realizing Silas was right that she didn't need his help. He might as well sit back and enjoy the show.
"Anyone else wants to join in?" Yara scanned the room with a sly smile. "The stakes are high, so think it over!"
"I'm in!" Mr. Hawthorne, a well-known trust-fund kid in their circle, stepped forward.
"Maybe I should join too?" Uriah pondered aloud.
"Sure," Yara nodded.
The four of them took their seats at the poker table. Though more spots were open, the other partygoers were more interested in watching Calliope and her opponents than playing themselves.
Onlookers gathered around as the game began, silently observing the intense match. The game Yara chose required more than luck. It was about strategy and quick calculations. Calliope, however, played with uncanny speed. Before the spectators could even process the cards, she had made her move.
"She calculates so fast!"
"Geez, I can't even figure it out, and she's already played her hand!"
"Her speed is insane, but she's spot-on every time. She's got a knack for this!"
Yara prided herself on being taught by a gambling legend, confident that few could outsmart her. Yet, she felt outmatched by Calliope's relentless pace this time, barely able to keep her composure.

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......
