The whispers of the crowd swirled around them.
Blythe’s face was a mask of strained composure. She wanted to be as cool and collected as Calliope, to handle the loss with grace. After all, she was Blythe White, Jett White’s daughter, and her parents were watching. She couldn't let them down.
Gritting her teeth, Blythe stared at Calliope, her composure slipping. She took a deep breath and forced a casual tone. “You’re right. You got lucky this time, so I lost again.”
“Yes, I was just lucky,” Calliope agreed with a smile, not bothering to argue. “Ms. White, do you want to play another round?”
“Let’s go again,” Blythe said, her eyes narrowing.
She instinctively glanced toward her parents. Both of them gave her a subtle shake of the head, a clear signal that she should stop. But having lost twice already, her pride wouldn't let her back down.
She was Blythe White. She had been trained by a gambling legend since she was a child, and everyone had always praised her skills. How could she lose to Calliope? More importantly, how could she lose to her in front of them?
Blythe’s expression hardened as she turned back to Calliope. “One last time.”
She shoved all her chips to the center of the table. “This is five million. If you win, it’s all yours.”
Calliope’s lips curved into a smirk. “Of course. If Ms. White wants to play, I’m happy to oblige. But should we change the game this time?”
Blythe studied her, trying to determine if it was a trap. “You want to change it?”
“I’m fine either way,” Calliope replied, her relaxed demeanor unshaken.
“Then we won’t,” Blythe declared, refusing to be seen as weak by the onlookers. She motioned for the dealer to proceed.
Calliope said nothing more. It didn't matter. With Blythe’s mental state in shambles, there was no way she could win. She might have some skill, but it was nothing extraordinary.

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 !!!...
