Calliope Jewell and Blythe White started the next round, their cards flying back and forth across the table.
During the previous game, both had seemed relatively relaxed. This time, however, the dynamic had shifted entirely. While Calliope remained effortlessly composed, Blythe was visibly struggling, her nerves frayed and a fine sheen of sweat beading on her forehead.
She looked incredibly tense, weighing each move with extreme caution. But Calliope was a different story altogether, her demeanor casual and unconcerned.
Her plays were still lightning-fast, even quicker than in the first round. It almost looked as if she were playing randomly, yet every card she threw down seemed to heighten Blythe’s anxiety.
It was clear that Blythe's composure had crumbled. She was terrified of losing, terrified of the humiliation.
With her mindset so unstable, her plays became sloppy. And with every mistake, her mental state deteriorated further.
Any discerning observer could see that Calliope was in a different league. Her poise was unshakable. Her stunning face was a mask of calm, devoid of any superfluous expression. She was playing as if it were just a game, completely unconcerned with the outcome.
She barely seemed to think, her speed astonishing everyone watching.
The faster Calliope played, the more panicked Blythe became. She tried to match her pace, but the more she rushed, the more she fumbled.
“Ms. White, take your time,” Calliope said, her voice smooth. “Don’t worry, I’m in no hurry.”
“Weren’t you just saying you’d go easy on me? Show me what you’ve really got!” Calliope added, lifting her beautiful eyes with a smile that seemed utterly sincere.
Blythe’s stomach churned with irritation at her words.
She looked up. “Calliope, you don’t have to rush me. I won't lose to you! What, are you trying to psych me out with all this talk, hoping I'll make a mistake?”

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 !!!...
