A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 890

“Honestly? I think I kind of like her, too,” Jett admitted, looking at Calliope with an amused sort of surprise.

There was just something about Calliope that drew them in—an inexplicable fondness, hard to pin down.

Of course, Calliope had no idea what was going through their heads. Once she exchanged her chips, she made her way over to Portia.

Portia had already scoped out the casino floor and decided to start with a game of high or low.

“It’s a fifty-fifty chance, right? There’s no way my luck is that bad,” Portia said, rolling the poker chip between her fingers thoughtfully.

“Only one way to find out,” Calliope grinned.

“Alright, let’s do it!” Portia nodded, scooping up a few chips and heading to the table. After a moment’s hesitation, she bet on “high.”

Calliope didn’t jump in right away; instead, she stayed by Portia’s side, just watching her play. She didn’t offer any advice.

Damien sidled up next to Calliope and whispered, “Is she betting on the right one?”

Calliope shook her head.

“Shouldn't you warn her?” Damien asked, picking up on Calliope’s expression—clearly, Portia had made the wrong choice.

“If I tell her, it takes all the fun out of it,” Calliope replied with a soft laugh. “It’s fine. If she loses, I’ll win it back for her.”

Damien just stared at her for a second. She seemed awfully confident.

Could she really win it all back? He was skeptical—casinos aren’t exactly easy to beat. But then again, this was Calliope. If anyone could do it, it’d be her. She was a lot like Mr. Myers in that way—he’d always find a way to win, so maybe she could too.

Just as Calliope predicted, Portia lost her first round.

Portia groaned, dropping her head into her hands. “Seriously? I thought my luck couldn’t be that terrible!”
