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 didn't 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 couldn't help but study Calliope more closely. "So, you're the so-called good-for-nothing, Ms. Jewell?"

"Yep," Calliope nodded, "That's me. But I'm not Ms. Jewell anymore."

"I heard. You're 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.
