A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 274 She beat Ronin in chess ? Horatio couldnt believe his ears .

They would sometimes play with Lisette , but theyd never thought of inviting Calliope to join their games of chess , poker , or bridge games .

Theyd always assumed she wasnt interested , or worse , that she couldnt play .

But it turned out Calliope was quite the dark horse , and she knew her way around a deck of cards too .

During Thanksgiving or those lazy Sunday afternoons when everyone gathered for games , no one ever thought to invite her .

They figured she wasnt the sociable type .

They were wrong .

She must have gotten lucky , Valerian muttered , grasping for a reason .

It was the only explanation he could come up with .

How else could she have beaten Yara so easily ? The three brothers clicked into the livestream , unable to resist witnessing this .

The stream was already buzzing with viewers , all talking about how impressive Calliope was and questioning why the Jewell family seemed to overlook such talent .

The brothers felt a sting of embarrassment .

It was like the universe was rubbing their noses in it .

She was never this skilled before , was she ? Ulysses said , his face turning shades of disbelief .

Even if she won those games , shes biting off more than she can chew with this alligator pit stunt ! Shes just asking for trouble , Valerian grumbled , furrowing his brow .

We wont rescue her if she gets hurt ! As the brothers debated , Yara opened the gate to the alligator pit .

Are you sure you want to do this ? Yara asked .

You can still back out .

Absolutely , Calliope replied confidently , stepping onto the stairs leading down .

Yara shut the heavy iron gate behind her .

A crowd gathered around the pit with their eyes glued to Calliope .

Dont go down there ! someone shouted .

Yeah .

Just stay on the steps .

Yara didnt say you had to reach the pit edge ! Exactly .

Those alligators might come out if you get too close .

Theyre already looking restless .

It is nerve racking just to watch from here ! Calliopes got guts , thats for sure ! Do you think shell get hurt ? Fifteen minutes , and hold on .

Its not long , but itll feel like an eternity .

The crowd was a mix of concern , fear, and a hint of morbid curiosity .

Standing beside Yara , Uriah couldnt help but question her , Isnt this a bit too much for a young girl ? Shes unlike you , tearing alligators apart with your bare hands ! Shes not worthy of Silas if she cant handle this , Yara said matter of factly .

Relax .

She wont die .

Worst case , she might leave with a few scratches or a missing limb .

Uriah winced .

A missing limb ? Look out .

One of the alligators is coming up ! That thing is huge ! Yeah , it looks starving .

Yara , how many alligators are in there ? And when was the last time they were fed ? 1/2 08:04 Oh , just fifty or sixty .

They havent eaten in about two weeks , Yara replied casually .

The crowd exchanged wide eyed glances .

Yara was a piece of work .

In the livestream , the Jewell brothers watched on , skeptical of Calliopes chances .

Valerian shook his head .

Shes trying to steal the spotlight , but shes gonna get herself killed doing it .

Ulysses nodded in agreement .

Shes nothing like Lisette , whos always so level headed and thinks things through .
