Crispin glanced over at Calliope. “Damien’s gonna stick with you, right?”
Portia nodded. “Aren’t you coming with us, bro?”
“I’ve got someone to meet. Got a few things to sort out,” Crispin replied, giving Portia’s hair a playful ruffle. “You just hang out with Callie and have fun, okay? Callie, I’m counting on you to keep an eye on her. I’ll Venmo you guys some money—don’t go too wild.”
He trusted Calliope to keep things under control, so he didn’t say much more.
As he finished speaking, he pulled out his phone and transferred Calliope a cool hundred grand.
“That gonna be enough?” he asked, eyebrows raised. “As long as you’re not betting like you’re in a Martin Scorsese movie, that should last a while.”
“If you need more, just tell me.”
Calliope grinned. “Crispin, that’s more than enough. You’re spoiling us.”
“Don’t be so polite, Callie,” Crispin replied with a laugh. “Portia’s my kid sister, but you’re family too. Same goes for Mavis.”
“You’re the best, Crispin,” Calliope said, shaking her head with a smile. “Alright, I won’t argue. If I win big, I’ll pay you back. If I lose it all… well, that’s on you.”
Crispin chuckled. “Deal. I’ll be waiting for my windfall!”
He knew the odds of actually winning at the casino were pretty slim.
He didn’t give them too much on purpose—just enough so they wouldn’t get in over their heads.
He shot Damien a meaningful look.
Then he said, “Damien, can I count on you to keep an eye on these two? If anything comes up, let me know.”
“Don’t worry,” Damien nodded.

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......
