Chapter 279 The three Jewell brothers were glued to their screens, watching the live stream unfold. At first, they thought Calliope was out of her mind. She should have been at the doorstep, ready to bolt if things went south with the alligators. Instead, she was strolling right into danger,

Chapter 277 The entire room was silent, except for Yara, who calmly puffed on her cigarette.

Chapter 275 All the guests at the banquet couldn’t help but feel that Calliope was taking a critical risk. Everyone was holding their breath for her, especially since Yara had mentioned she’d ensure Calliope’s safety, but she couldn’t promise she wouldn’t get hurt. “That’s terrifying! Those alligators look vicious p>

Chapter 274 “She beat Ronin in chess?” Horatio couldn’t believe his ears. They would sometimes play with Lisette, but they’d never thought of inviting Calliope to join their games of chess, poker, or bridge games. They’d always assumed she wasn’t interested, or worse, that she couldn’t play. But it turned

Chapter 273 The party was buzzing. Some guests were busy recording videos, while others had already started live-streaming the event.

Chapter 272 After asking around for a good while, Uriah found out that Silas didn’t have a clue about what Yara had planned to challenge Calliope. Uriah: [Aren’t you worried p> Silas: [I trust Callie p> Uriah: [But what if she backs out? What if she decides she doesn’t want

Chapter 271 Though reluctant, Yara handed over her beloved brooch to Calliope. Calliope examined the brooch with a satisfied smile. “Well, I’ll take it.

Chapter 270 Yara clapped her hands, and a young assistant approached. She whispered a few words to him, and he quickly left. A few minutes later, the assistant returned with a long, elegant box. Inside was a delicate brooch, intricately carved to resemble a sprig of holly. And it shimmered

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.

Chapter 268 “Are we going all in on this?” Uriah leaned closer to Calliope, whispering, “What if you lose? Your emerald bracelet will be gone. How about I throw in something of mine for the bet? Silas can pay me back later p> “No need,” Calliope replied coldly. Uriah sighed,

Chapter 267 Calliope glanced at Yara, giving her a nod. “Sure, let’s do it p> 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

Chapter 266 Calliope flashed a confident smile at Ronin. “Ronin, no pressure. Just play like you usually do, okay p> “Okay, I’ll just play casually then,” Ronin chuckled.

Chapter 265 “Wow, it’s the legendary chess master of Capitalton p> “Goodness, isn’t that Ronin Jordan? He’s a real whiz at chess, can beat just about anyone p> “Nobody stands a chance against him. Looks like Yara is determined to embarrass Calliope p> “Calliope might be in trouble this time.

Chapter 264 Yara held a glass of wine, raising her eyes to meet Calliope’s gaze. Calliope glanced back, not a hint of intimidation on her face. Instead, she flashed a charming smile to the room. “Oops, my bad!” she chuckled. Then, her demeanor shifted. Focused, poised, and exuding an air

Chapter 263 Yara offered them a taste. Someone took a sip and immediately grimaced, sticking out their tongue. “Oh, my god, this is strong stuff! It burns like fire p> “This drink’s got a lovely aroma, but man, it packs a punch. It’s potent p> “No way. Two sips of

Chapter 262 Calliope and Uriah entered the mansion, instantly catching the attention of many party-goers. Calliope was wearing a sleek, black cocktail dress made of satin.

Chapter 261 Calliope and Uriah left together, heading out for a meal. They settled into a cozy little diner that served the best burgers and fries in town. “Aren’t you worried Yara might give you a hard time?” Uriah asked, biting into his burger. “Let’s see how it goes,” Calliope
