Calliope was calm and collected the entire time, effortlessly securing her victory.
Uriah had initially sat down, intending to help Calliope, but to his surprise, she needed no assistance. She was incredibly skilled, leaving him utterly defeated.
Uriah looked at Calliope with a complex expression. He had assumed he knew her well enough through Mavis. But now, he realized he didn't know her at all. How could she be so adept at everything she tried?
He sighed inwardly, reminded of her husband, Silas. It was no wonder the two hit it off. They were both full of surprises.
"Did I win?" Calliope glanced over at Yara, her expression innocent despite her overwhelming victory. She looked more like she was the one who had been wronged rather than the one who had just crushed her opponents.
"You did win..." Yara replied, her emotions equally tangled. "The painting is yours."
"And my watch, too," Uriah added reluctantly, pushing his stake toward Calliope.
Mr. Hawthorne, another player, handed over his wager with a begrudging look. He couldn't help but study Calliope more closely. "So, you're the so-called good-for-nothing, Ms. Jewell?"
"Yep," Calliope nodded, "That's me. But I'm not Ms. Jewell anymore."
"I heard. You're quite intriguing," Mr. Hawthorne remarked, clearly intrigued by Calliope.
"Want to keep playing?" Calliope asked Yara.
"This game seems your forte. How about we try something else? Do you know how to play poker?" Yara suggested, still in disbelief that she had lost to Calliope. As a protégé of a gambling legend, Yara had never expected to get so thoroughly outplayed.

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......
