He heaved the wheelchair up with all his might, then scrambled and tumbled onto the road.
As he glanced back, he saw that the alligator hadn't followed, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"My foot!"
Ulysses had managed to free his foot from the bear trap, but he was now clutching it, wincing in pain with every sharp intake of breath.
"What happened?" Monty asked with a frown.
Hiding behind him, Lisette was just as shaken. "Is it possible that Calliope doesn't want to see us and set up all these traps on purpose?"
"No way," Valerian replied. "We came unannounced. She couldn't have prepared in advance."
"But—" Lisette still couldn't wrap her head around it.
Valerian helped Horatio back into the wheelchair and sighed. "I have no idea what's going on, but we're here now, so we might as well keep going."
The group continued forward, only to encounter more troubles along the way.
Snakes suddenly slithered out of nowhere, and Monty took a nasty spill.
When they finally reached the illuminated manor’s front door, they all looked like they'd been through a windstorm.
And just as they reached the door, they saw a massive tiger. The sight of the tiger froze them in their tracks.
"A tiger!" Lisette squealed in fright.
"It must be Mr. Myers's," Valerian said, glancing at the creature. He tried to reassure himself that a pet tiger wouldn't be dangerous.
Since it was roaming free, it couldn't be a threat.
Lisette's legs began to shake so much that she could barely stand.
"Calliope, call off your tiger!" Her voice trembled as she shouted, too scared to back away.
Monty was also frightened, taking several steps back.
With a roar, Snowy lunged forward and gently bit Lisette's neck. It didn’t apply pressure, but the fear was enough to make Lisette's knees buckle, and suddenly, a trickling sound filled the air, and a puddle of yellow liquid pooled beneath her skirt.
The tiger released her, sniffed the ground, and recoiled in distaste, retreating several steps.
Lisette stood there, trying to steady her trembling legs. She could feel the warmth spreading down her thighs.
"Snowy, come back!" Calliope had appeared at the entrance of the mansion without anyone noticing.
She was dressed in casual loungewear, her long hair casually pinned up with a fuzzy shark clip, exuding an air of relaxed nonchalance.

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......
