A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 262 Calliope and Uriah entered the mansion , instantly catching the attention of many party goers .

Calliope was wearing a sleek , black cocktail dress made of satin .

It hugged her figure perfectly , and the ribbon of her high heels was elegantly tied around her slender , fair ankles .

Her long , wavy hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall .

The chandeliers light in the grand hall glinted off her dress , making her look radiant and captivating , almost as if she were someone you wanted to protect .

Not many could pull off such a striking look in a black dress .

In stark contrast stood Yara , dressed in a vibrant red gown .

The contrast between Calliopes black and Yaras red made them both stand out sharply .

Ms.

Jewell , welcome to the party , Yara greeted , stepping forward .

Calliope smiled politely and nodded in acknowledgment .

Around them , the other women seemed to fade into the background , overshadowed by the two .

Isnt that the eldest daughter from the Jewell family ? I heard she got kicked out ! Whats she doing at Yaras party ? Isnt Yara into Silas ? Calliope stole her man .

Yara might just go off the rails tonight ! Calliopes in trouble then .

Shes no match for Yara ! Everyone says shes the black sheep of the Jewell family .

How can she compete with Yara ? Are we in for a show tonight ? Looks like it .

I wonder what Yaras planning ! Im kind of excited to see .

The whispers and murmurs buzzed around the room , everyone intrigued by what might unfold between Calliope and Yara .

Yara didnt immediately make things difficult for Calliope .

Instead , she took a moment to appraise her before speaking .

Ms.

Jewell , we made a bet , didnt we ? You follow my lead tonight , and Ill return Silas to you .

So , I have a few tasks for you .

Can you handle that ? Yara asked with a sly smile .

Go ahead and say it , Calliope replied , her expression unchanging .

Yara clapped her hands , and a waiter approached with a tray of drinks .

Yara smiled .

Here are several drinks .

Some are strong spirits , some are regular , and theres water .

Pick three to drink .

No matter what you choose , you need to finish them .

Thats the first challenge .

Calliope nodded , Okay .

Yaras strong drinks are probably really strong ! Calliope might be knocked out after just one ! Who knows ? Maybe shell pick the non alcoholic ones ! Can she even handle her liquor ? Ive seen her at parties , but never drinking ! Even men dont dare to challenge Yara to a drinking contest ! Without hesitation , Calliope selected three drinks and downed them one by one .

It only took a moment for her to finish , tilting each glass to show they were empty , not a drop left .

Afterward , she remained composed , her face showing no signs of discomfort .

It had to be water ! Yara , was it water she drank ? Someone asked Yara , curious .

Yara turned to the waiter .

Was it spirits or water ? All three were strong spirits , the waiter replied , his eyes filled with admiration .

The drinks were remarkably potent , the kind that would leave most people reeling after just a few sips .

Yet , this elegant woman drank three without batting an eyelash .

No way , not with that strength ! Can I try one ? Skeptical , someone leaned in closer , eager to test the drinks themselves ,
