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 .
