A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 270 Yara clapped her hands , and a young assistant approached .

She whispered a few words to him , and he quickly left .

A few minutes later , the assistant returned with a long , elegant box .

Inside was a delicate brooch , intricately carved to resemble a sprig of holly .

And it shimmered a vibrant light under the light .

This is the brooch Ms.

Xander bought for a fortune at that auction , right ? Yeah , I heard its quite a piece with a fascinating story .

Its beautiful ! Looks like Calliope came prepared , knowing Yara has this brooch ! But I doubt Calliope can win .

Yaras a poker shark .

Shes unbeatable at the table ! Right , in Capitalton , Yaras the best card player .

Her only match is Silas ! True , apart from Silas , no one else stands a chance against Yara ! Interesting .

Does that mean Calliopes going to lose ? I wouldnt be so sure .

Calliope did surprise us all just now , didnt she ? Lets get started already .

Im eager to see how this turns out ! Exactly .

I cant wait to see who comes out on top ! Yara caught snippets of the chatter around her .

She glanced at Calliope , a faint smile on her lips .

Lets begin .

Its just a heads up .

Im quite the card player .

I can offer something else if you want to back out now .

No need , Calliope replied confidently , looking up .

Youre good , but I never said I wasnt .

Yara was speechless .

Whoa , thats some bold talk ! Is Calliope that confident she can win ? This is getting interesting ! I still think Calliopes got a tough road ahead .

Beating Yara is no small feat .

Uriah decided to sit this one out , finding Calliopes and Silass peculiar talent a bit unnerving , so he stepped aside for someone else to join .

Mr.

Hawthorne , however , stayed put .

The four settled in and began the game .

Calliope didnt play poker often but handled the cards with practiced ease once she got going .

A small crowd gathered behind each player .

Uriah stood behind Calliope , watching her hand with interest , stroking his chin thoughtfully .

After observing for a while , he couldnt resist texting Silas .

[ Silas , did you teach your wife how to play ? ] Silas : [ Nope .

I never taught her a thing .

] Uriah : [ No way .

Her style is just as ruthless as yours ! ] Silas : [ Thats called being clever and skillful , not ruthless .

] Uriah : [ I see .

You two are a perfect match in your madness ! ] Chapter 270 As Uriah texted , the game progressed rapidly .

The onlookers were quietly impressed , Gradually , it became clear that Calliope was on the verge of a win .

Of course , no one said a word .

After all , they were spectators .

A few minutes later , Calliope smiled slyly .

Sorry .

It looks like Ive won again .

Yara was flabbergasted , disbelief etched on her face as she looked Calliope up and down .

Did Silas teach you ? Despite playing with Silas for ages , Yara had never mastered his techniques , yet Calliope seemed to have his style down pat .

Hmm ? Calliope shook her head .

Ive never played with him .
