A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust

Though reluctant, Yara handed over her beloved brooch to Calliope.

Calliope examined the brooch with a satisfied smile. "Well, I'll take it. Thanks!"

Yara gave Calliope a slightly defiant look. "You can play any game?"

"Pretty much," Calliope replied casually. "If I don't know something, you can teach me once, and I'll get it. But most of the time, if I've seen it, I can play it."

Yara was speechless. It was her first time encountering such a formidable opponent, who she couldn't beat no matter what. She had always thought no one could be better than her, but there was Calliope, proving her wrong at every turn.

"I have one last challenge," Yara said, her face serious.

"Okay," Calliope agreed. As she spoke, she noticed a waiter carrying a plastic shopping bag and said, "Hey, is that bag spare? May I have it, please?"

The waiter paused, then handed the plastic bag to Calliope.

"Thanks." Calliope took the bag and packed the items she'd won from the table.

Those around couldn't help but twitch their lips in disbelief.

Really? Just like that? Those were worth thousands, not just something you casually toss into a flimsy bag!

"Thanks for the gifts, everyone," Calliope said with a cheeky grin to those she'd won from. "If you're looking to give away more, feel free to find me. I don't mind accepting more!"

The crowd had mixed feelings.

"Uriah, could you hold this for me?" Calliope handed the bag to Uriah.

"Sure," Uriah said, trying to suppress a smile as he took the bag. He couldn't help but text Silas to vent about it. His wife was certainly something else, using a plastic bag to carry such valuable items.

Uriah wasn't sure what to say. Her style was unexpected, to say the least, and he was utterly amazed.

He was curious about what Yara meant by the "final challenge."

Yara would not let Calliope off the hook, especially after such a significant loss. She had initially invited everyone to see Calliope fail, but it ended up being her

embarrassment on display.

"The final challenge," Yara said to Calliope. You can continue or walk away. But if you walk away, you're giving up on Silas. If you want him, you must complete this lasto challenge."

"Okay. What's it?" Calliope remained calm throughout. "Follow me," Yara instructed, leading Calliope outside.

The crowd followed, buzzing with

Everyone was speculatin

Yara's final challenge

could be.

"What's next? I feel it will be something thrilling."

"Yara is not one to settle for something simple."

"I bet this final challenge will be tough."

"Why are we going outside? What's she planning?"

"I'm excited to find out!"

"Let's make a bet. Who do you think will win this time?"noveldrama

"I'm betting on Yara!"

"I think Calliope might surprise us again. She's been full of surprises so far!"

"Let's see!"

Also intrigued, Uriah texted Silas to get the scoop.
