A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 281

Yara had just opened and closed the tiger's cage swiftly.

The guests, who had initially scattered, gathered around, drawn by the unfolding spectacle. The evening breeze was chilly, but no one seemed to notice as their focus was entirely on Calliope, each secretly holding their breath for her.

The initial skepticism about Calliope's ability to handle the situation had shifted. Many were now in awe, convinced that a mere tiger was no match for her. Yet, there were still whispers of doubt, some arguing that a tiger's ferocity surpassed an alligator’s, making it impossible for a woman like Calliope to handle.

"Do you think she'll get eaten by the tiger?" someone murmured.

"I doubt it," another replied, though uncertainty tinged their voice.

"It's terrifying. There’s no doubt about that, but you must admit Calliope has guts!"

"It's like Beauty and the Beast, but does the Beast even understand Beauty?"

"If she pulls this off, she's fearless. If not, well, she's just plain crazy."

The crowd buzzed with chatter. Some were snapping pictures, others were updating their social media, and a few were even live-streaming the unfolding drama.

Amidst the cacophony, Calliope remained surprisingly calm. She had entered the tiger's cage, her demeanor as composed as ever when approaching the resting beast.

Disturbed by the noise, the tiger glanced around irritably before locking eyes with Calliope. It seemed confused, sensing a stranger's presence in its domain. With an irritated growl, the tiger directed its displeasure at Calliope.

The crowd instinctively stepped back, maintaining a safe distance from the cage. But Calliope stood her ground, her gaze steady as she met the tiger's eyes.
