"She beat Ronin in chess?" Horatio couldn't believe his ears.
They would sometimes play with Lisette, but they'd never thought of inviting Calliope to join their games of chess, poker, or bridge games. They'd always assumed she wasn't interested, or worse, that she couldn't play.
But it turned out Calliope was quite the dark horse, and she knew her way around a deck of cards too. During Thanksgiving or those lazy Sunday afternoons when everyone gathered for games, no one ever thought to invite her. They figured she wasn't the sociable type.
They were wrong.
"She must have gotten lucky," Valerian muttered, grasping for a reason.
It was the only explanation he could come up with. How else could she have beaten Yara so easily?
The three brothers clicked into the livestream, unable to resist witnessing this.
The stream was already buzzing with viewers, all talking about how impressive Calliope was and questioning why the Jewell family seemed to overlook such talent.
The brothers felt a sting of embarrassment. It was like the universe was rubbing their noses in it.
"She was never this skilled before, was she?" Ulysses said, his face turning shades of disbelief. "Even if she won those games, she’s biting off more than she can chew with this alligator pit stunt!"
"She's just asking for trouble," Valerian grumbled, furrowing his brow. "We won’t rescue her if she gets hurt!"
As the brothers debated, Yara opened the gate to the alligator pit.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Yara asked. "You can still back out."
"Absolutely," Calliope replied confidently, stepping onto the stairs leading down.
Yara shut the heavy iron gate behind her.
A crowd gathered around the pit with their eyes glued to Calliope.
"Don’t go down there!" someone shouted.

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......
