Yara clapped her hands, and a young assistant approached. She whispered a few words to him, and he quickly left.
A few minutes later, the assistant returned with a long, elegant box. Inside was a delicate brooch, intricately carved to resemble a sprig of holly. And it shimmered a vibrant light under the light.
"This is the brooch Ms. Xander bought for a fortune at that auction, right?"
"Yeah, I heard it's quite a piece with a fascinating story. It's beautiful!"
"Looks like Calliope came prepared, knowing Yara has this brooch!"
"But I doubt Calliope can win. Yara's a poker shark. She's unbeatable at the table!"
"Right, in Capitalton, Yara's the best card player. Her only match is Silas!"
"True, apart from Silas, no one else stands a chance against Yara!"
"Interesting. Does that mean Calliope's going to lose?"
"I wouldn't be so sure. Calliope did surprise us all just now, didn't she?"
"Let's get started already. I'm eager to see how this turns out!"
"Exactly. I can't wait to see who comes out on top!"
Yara caught snippets of the chatter around her. She glanced at Calliope, a faint smile on her lips.
"Let's begin. It’s just a heads-up. I'm quite the card player. I can offer something else if you want to back out now."
"No need," Calliope replied confidently, looking up. "You're good, but I never said I wasn't."
Yara was speechless.
"Whoa, that's some bold talk!"
"Is Calliope that confident she can win?"
"This is getting interesting!"

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......
