A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 267 Calliope glanced at Yara , giving her a nod .

Sure , lets do it .

Uriah leaned closer to Calliope , whispering , Do you even know how to play cards ? Do you want me to step in for you ? Yaras got connections to some big time players like a real poker king .

A poker king , huh ? Calliope mused , Ive crossed paths with a few big names over at the Neon Casino myself , Youve been to Neon Casino ? Uriah was shocked .

He always pictured Calliope as this innocent lamb , but she was turning out to be anything but that .

She could smoke , down whiskey like it was water , and despite all the drinks , not a hint of drunkenness .

She could play the banjo like she was ready for Carnegie Hall , and shed beaten Ronin at chess .

No one could be good at everything .

Calliope couldnt be a card shark , too , could she ? Uriah felt a whirl of mixed emotions and couldnt help but text Silas .

[ Silas , be honest .

Is there anything your wife cant do ? ] Silas : [ Not much , really .

] Uriah : [ Come on .

Everyone has their limits .

She cant be some kind of prodigy at everything , right ? ] Silas : [ Well , surprise , she kind of is .

] Uriah was at a loss for words .

Calliope and her entourage followed Yara to the card room .

Yaras card room was indeed huge , accommodating several tables .

She chose the one in the center .

She looked at Calliope .

What game do you play ? Anythings fine , Calliope replied indifferently .

Are you sure ? You can pick what youre good at .

And Ill pick my favorite if youre up for anything .

Yara raised an eyebrow as Calliope calmly pulled out a chair and sat down .

Seriously , anything works .

Whatever you enjoy , Calliope said causally .

Its all the same to me .

Alright , then Ill go with my favorite .

Yara named a game and looked at Calliope .

But hey , we cant just play for fun , right ? How about we spice things up with some stakes ? It makes it more thrilling .

Dont you think so? Sure thing , Calliope smirked .

Money ? Money ? That seems dull , not exciting , Yara pondered , glancing at Calliope .

Ive noticed that bracelet youre wearing looks pretty valuable .

How about that ? Sure , Calliope said , glancing at her wrist .

The bracelet , worth a fortune , got slipped off and placed on the table .

Anyone who knows their stuff would recognize this bracelet is worth a small fortune .

She looked up at Yara .

So , Ms.

Xander , what do you have to put on the line? Yara considered her options .

Calliope continued , I noticed earlier , Ms.

Xander , you have a painting on your wall .

Its quite intriguing and seems to be on par with my bracelet in terms of value .

How about we bet on that ? You think youre going to win ? Yara was surprised by Calliopes confidence .

Pretty sure , Calliope toyed with her bracelet , her gaze casual but with certainty that suggested victory was already hers .

Uriah was starting to worry .

Calliopes bracelet looked incredibly valuable , though he had no idea where it came from .

But Yara was serious about her wagers .

If Calliope put something up as a bet , losing meant it was gone .
