“Honestly? I think I kind of like her, too,” Jett admitted, looking at Calliope with an amused sort of surprise.
There was just something about Calliope that drew them in—an inexplicable fondness, hard to pin down.
Of course, Calliope had no idea what was going through their heads. Once she exchanged her chips, she made her way over to Portia.
Portia had already scoped out the casino floor and decided to start with a game of high or low.
“It’s a fifty-fifty chance, right? There’s no way my luck is that bad,” Portia said, rolling the poker chip between her fingers thoughtfully.
“Only one way to find out,” Calliope grinned.
“Alright, let’s do it!” Portia nodded, scooping up a few chips and heading to the table. After a moment’s hesitation, she bet on “high.”
Calliope didn’t jump in right away; instead, she stayed by Portia’s side, just watching her play. She didn’t offer any advice.
Damien sidled up next to Calliope and whispered, “Is she betting on the right one?”
Calliope shook her head.
“Shouldn't you warn her?” Damien asked, picking up on Calliope’s expression—clearly, Portia had made the wrong choice.
“If I tell her, it takes all the fun out of it,” Calliope replied with a soft laugh. “It’s fine. If she loses, I’ll win it back for her.”
Damien just stared at her for a second. She seemed awfully confident.
Could she really win it all back? He was skeptical—casinos aren’t exactly easy to beat. But then again, this was Calliope. If anyone could do it, it’d be her. She was a lot like Mr. Myers in that way—he’d always find a way to win, so maybe she could too.
Just as Calliope predicted, Portia lost her first round.
Portia groaned, dropping her head into her hands. “Seriously? I thought my luck couldn’t be that terrible!”

Calliope joined Blackhawk over by the wall, leaning casually against it as she looked up at him.

“Did you find what I asked about?” Calliope asked quietly.
He nodded. “Yeah. About your real parents… Turns out your guess was right. Jett and his wife—they’re your biological parents.”
He paused, then added, “I sent the DNA results to your email just now.”

Blackhawk shrugged. “We’ve been friends a long time. Had to give you a heads-up.”

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......
