Just then, Portia wandered over and peeked into Calliope’s bucket. She practically did a double take, jaw dropping in shock.
“No way!”
“How did you collect so much already?”
“We only just started, didn’t we?”
Portia glanced at her own empty sand pail, then at Calliope’s overflowing one, packed with all sorts of treasures—shells, pebbles, even an old bottle cap or two.
She felt a complicated mix of envy and disbelief.
Hadn’t they only been on the beach for, what, fifteen minutes?
Sure, the beach was pretty empty and the tide had just gone out, so there was plenty to find, but how could Calliope be so quick? She looked like a pro, scooping up half the beach in record time.
“My brothers and Silas helped me,” Calliope admitted with a grin. “Whenever they found something they thought I’d like, they put it in my bucket!”
Honestly, she hadn’t found that much herself, but with their help, her bucket looked like she’d struck gold.
“Man, I’m so jealous,” Portia huffed, faking a pout. “Wish I had brothers like yours!”
“But if we’re going to have a contest, your brothers can’t help, got it? Otherwise, it’s totally unfair!”
“Deal,” Calliope laughed, tossing a glance over toward Uriah.
Silas had already wandered off to chat with Uriah; the two of them were deep in conversation about who-knows-what.
Calliope’s gaze drifted to Mavis.
“Yeah, we’ll eat like kings tonight!” Mavis beamed. They started making their way back when suddenly, Mavis gasped and stumbled forward.
Norton reacted instantly, catching her before she could fall.
“What happened?” he asked, eyebrows knitting together.
“I’m okay, really,” Mavis said, steadying herself on Norton. “I just stepped on something sharp, I think I might’ve cut my foot.”
She balanced on one leg and looked down. Blood was trickling from a small cut on her foot.
“It’s probably nothing, but let’s get you over to the rocks and check it out,” Norton said.
Mavis nodded, surprisingly calm despite it all.

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......
