A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 267

Calliope glanced at Yara, giving her a nod. "Sure, let's do it."

Uriah leaned closer to Calliope, whispering, "Do you even know how to play cards? Do you want me to step in for you? Yara's got connections to some big-time players like a real poker king."

"A poker king, huh?" Calliope mused, "I've crossed paths with a few big names over at the Neon Casino myself."

"You've been to Neon Casino?" Uriah was shocked. He always pictured Calliope as this innocent lamb, but she was turning out to be anything but that. She could smoke, down whiskey like it was water, and despite all the drinks, not a hint of drunkenness. She could play the banjo like she was ready for Carnegie Hall, and she’d beaten Ronin at chess.

No one could be good at everything. Calliope couldn't be a card shark, too, could she? Uriah felt a whirl of mixed emotions and couldn't help but text Silas.

[Silas, be honest. Is there anything your wife can't do?]

Silas: [Not much, really.]

Uriah: [Come on. Everyone has their limits. She can't be some kind of prodigy at everything, right?]

Silas: [Well, surprise, she kind of is.]

Uriah was at a loss for words.

Calliope and her entourage followed Yara to the card room. Yara's card room was indeed huge, accommodating several tables. She chose the one in the center.

She looked at Calliope. "What game do you play?"

"Anything's fine," Calliope replied indifferently.
