A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 268 Are we going all in on this ? Uriah leaned closer to Calliope , whispering , What if you lose ? Your emerald bracelet will be gone .

How about I throw in something of mine for the bet ? Silas can pay me back later .

No need , Calliope replied coldly .

Uriah sighed , realizing Silas was right that she didnt need his help .

He might as well sit back and enjoy the show .

Anyone else wants to join in ? Yara scanned the room with a sly smile .

The stakes are high , so think it over ! Im in! Mr.

Hawthorne , a well known trust fund kid in their circle , stepped forward .

Maybe I should join too ? Uriah pondered aloud .

Sure , Yara nodded .

The four of them took their seats at the poker table .

Though more spots were open , the other partygoers were more interested in watching Calliope and her opponents than playing themselves .

Onlookers gathered around as the game began , silently observing the intense match .

The game Yara chose required more than luck .

It was about strategy and quick calculations .

Calliope , however , played with uncanny speed .

Before the spectators could even process the cards , she had made her move .

She calculates so fast ! Geez , I cant even figure it out , and shes already played her hand ! Her speed is insane , but shes spot on every time .

Shes got a knack for this ! Yara prided herself on being taught by a gambling legend , confident that few could outsmart her .

Yet , she felt outmatched by Calliopes relentless pace this time , barely able to keep her composure .

Calliope remained serene and unflustered under the chandeliers warm glow , looking as if she could read her opponents hands with a glance .

Her every move was precise , catching the others off guard each time .

By the end of the round , beads of sweat dotted Yaras forehead .

Even Uriah , no stranger to high stakes games with his brothers , felt unnerved .

He always thought Silas was a tough opponent , but Calliope took it to another level .

She played effortlessly , with a speed that left him in the dust , all the while maintaining a calm , unbothered demeanor .

Shes incredible ! Shes winning ! Shes about to take it all ! They cant hold a candle to Calliope ! Thats a cool three million ! Seriously , who said Calliope was useless ? Shes a jack of all trades ! Remember what the Jewell family said ? That she was good for nothing , a total jinx .

If shes a jinx , what does that make me ? A total disaster ? The Jewell family lost a treasure there ! No kidding .

Calliope doesnt even need to lift a finger just a few rounds of cards , and she could make more in a day than the Jewell family earns in a year … Whoever started the rumor that shes a nobody ? If shes a nobody , Im just a pile of nothing ! 1/1
