It was clear as day that the alligators were utterly intimidated, terrified of Calliope.
"Forget the alligators. I'm scared, too!" someone exclaimed.
"Oh my God, does she have the strength of ten men or what?"
"Hey, don't underestimate a pretty woman. She might wrestle an alligator barehanded!"
"Wow, that's over the top, but I love her for it. She's like a superhero!"
"Calliope didn't even lose her jacket, and it's already over?"
"Time's up, Yara. You can let her out now!"
"Those alligators probably won't come out for a while. They've been scared out for sure."
The crowd around them felt torn between laughter and disbelief. But they couldn't help but start applauding for Calliope. Her performance had been nothing short of spectacular.
Yara opened the gate, and Calliope walked up, as composed as ever, her beautiful face a picture of nonchalance.
In the livestream, her fans were equally stunned.
Gideon frowned deeply. Was this the same Calliope he knew? He remembered her as someone who couldn't even hurt a fly. Had she really just taken on an alligator?
Gideon felt a deep, sinking sense of regret as he pushed Yvette away, his patience wearing thin.
"Gideon—" Yvette's eyes welled up, her voice trembling on the edge of tears. "You, you regret it, don't you? You've fallen for Calliope again, haven't you? You wish you had married her instead, right?"
Gideon looked at Yvette, his expression full of disdain. He had let Calliope go for such a woman?
"Gideon, did you know?" Yvette's voice broke the silence, desperation in her eyes. "I'm pregnant with your child."
"We're having a baby! You always wanted to outshine Silas, didn’t you? I have a child, and they don't. Aren't you happy?"
Yvette looked at him with hope in her eyes. She knew Gideon had never truly loved her. His heart always belonged to Calliope. But maybe, just maybe, a child could keep him by her side.
