A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 123

The slap that was supposed to land never did. It hovered mid-air instead.

Rafferty and the other guys were ready to jump in, but none of them moved, because Calliope had intercepted Valerian's hand.

She held onto Valerian's wrist effortlessly. Even though her arm was much slimmer than his, her strength was something else entirely.

Valerian tried to pull away, his face turning red from the effort, but Calliope's grip didn't budge an inch. His arm was completely immobilized.

He stared at Calliope, shocked and incredulous.

How could she be this strong? She was a girl; his strength should easily surpass hers, right?

Gritting his teeth, Valerian tried even harder, but it was like trying to move a steel clamp. He couldn't shift her grip one bit.

Calliope looked at him, unimpressed, as if she wasn't exerting any effort.

Valerian was getting frustrated. How could he not be stronger than his sister?
