A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 269 Calliope was calm and collected the entire time , effortlessly securing her victory .

Uriah had initially sat down , intending to help Calliope , but to his surprise , she needed no assistance .

She was incredibly skilled , leaving him utterly defeated .

Uriah looked at Calliope with a complex expression .

He had assumed he knew her well enough through Mavis .

But now , he realized he didnt know her at all .

How could she be so adept at everything she tried ? He sighed inwardly , reminded of her husband , Silas .

It was no wonder the two hit it off .

They were both full of surprises .

Did I win ? Calliope glanced over at Yara , her expression Innocent despite her overwhelming victory .

She looked more like she was the one who had been wronged rather than the one who had just crushed her opponents .

You did win … Yara replied , her emotions equally tangled .

The painting is yours .

And my watch , too , Uriah added reluctantly , pushing his stake toward Calliope .

Mr.

Hawthorne , another player , handed over his wager with a begrudging look .

He couldnt help but study Calliope more closely .

So , youre the so called good for nothing , Ms.

Jewell ? Yep , Calliope nodded , Thats me .

But Im not Ms.

Jewell anymore .

I heard .

Youre quite intriguing , Mr.

Hawthorne remarked , clearly intrigued by Calliope .

Want to keep playing ? Calliope asked Yara .

This game seems your forte .

How about we try something else ? Do you know how to play poker ? Yara suggested , still in disbelief that she had lost to Calliope .

As a protégé of a gambling legend , Yara had never expected to get so thoroughly outplayed .

Calliope remained unfazed .

Sure , Im game .

More and more people gathered to watch , eager to see what would happen next .

Did Calliope win earlier ? Is she truly that good ? Unbelievably .

The other three had no chance against her .

She practically won three million with her eyes closed .

Isnt the Jewell family known for calling her a jinx ? With luck like that , she seems more like a good luck charm .

Exactly ! She has an incredible knack for calculations .

Shes impressive ! I wonder what theyre betting this time .

The onlookers were buzzing with excitement .

Calliope lifted the bracelet from her wrist .

Ill use this bracelet as my bet again .

Ms.

Xander , I heard you have a beautiful brooch .

Im quite interested in it .

Would you be willing to wager it ? Yara looked at Calliope intently .

It was as if the trap she had set for Calliope had somehow ensnared her instead .

Whats wrong , Ms.

Xander ? Having second thoughts ? Calliope raised an eyebrow .

Not at all .

Ms.

Jewell , since youve put your bracelet on the line , my brooch would make a fitting pair .

Whoever wins , theyd look great together .
