Though reluctant, Yara handed over her beloved brooch to Calliope.
Calliope examined the brooch with a satisfied smile. "Well, I’ll take it. Thanks!"
Yara gave Calliope a slightly defiant look. "You can play any game?"
"Pretty much," Calliope replied casually. "If I don't know something, you can teach me once, and I'll get it. But most of the time, if I've seen it, I can play it."
Yara was speechless. It was her first time encountering such a formidable opponent, who she couldn't beat no matter what. She had always thought no one could be better than her, but there was Calliope, proving her wrong at every turn.
"I have one last challenge," Yara said, her face serious.
"Okay," Calliope agreed. As she spoke, she noticed a waiter carrying a plastic shopping bag and said, "Hey, is that bag spare? May I have it, please?"
The waiter paused, then handed the plastic bag to Calliope.
"Thanks." Calliope took the bag and packed the items she'd won from the table.
Those around couldn't help but twitch their lips in disbelief.
Really? Just like that? Those were worth thousands, not just something you casually toss into a flimsy bag!
"Thanks for the gifts, everyone," Calliope said with a cheeky grin to those she'd won from. "If you're looking to give away more, feel free to find me. I don't mind accepting more!"
The crowd had mixed feelings.
"Uriah, could you hold this for me?" Calliope handed the bag to Uriah.
"Sure," Uriah said, trying to suppress a smile as he took the bag. He couldn't help but text Silas to vent about it. His wife was certainly something else, using a plastic bag to carry such valuable items.
Uriah wasn't sure what to say. Her style was unexpected, to say the least, and he was utterly amazed.

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......
