A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 909

“Wasn't that your intention?” Calliope asked with a light, mocking laugh. “The whole world knows how much you dote on your daughter, that you’d do anything for her. Seeing her lose must have been hard to swallow.”

“I do cherish Blythe, but I’m not unreasonable,” Jett replied calmly. “A loss is a loss. She chose to play, so she has to accept the outcome. Blythe knows that principle. She wouldn’t refuse to admit defeat. She gave you the chips she owed you, didn't she?”

“As for me,” he continued, “the reason I wanted to play with you, Ms. Jewell, is because I admire your skill. You’re incredible.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve met a worthy opponent. You’re the first in years, and certainly the youngest.”

Jett smiled warmly. “In fact, I’d like to be your friend.”

Calliope gave him a cold, dismissive look. “Friendship is out of the question. I don't particularly like you, Mr. White.”

Jett was taken aback. He couldn't shake the feeling that Calliope held some strange, inexplicable hostility towards him. But he was certain he had never done anything to offend her. Was it because of Blythe? Did she dislike her?

He thought their Blythe had a wonderful personality and plenty of friends. Why would she be at odds with this young woman?

After a moment of thought, Jett said, “Friendship is a two-way street. If you’re not interested, Ms. Jewell, that’s fine. Let’s end the game here. I admit, you are very skilled, and I am truly impressed that someone so young could be so accomplished.”

Calliope ignored him and turned to her friends. “Portia, Damien, collect the chips.”

“Yes, ma'am!” Damien immediately began gathering their winnings.

Portia, meanwhile, went to collect from those who had bet against her.

“You’re not going to back out now, are you? We had a deal!”

“My Callie won, so it’s time to pay up!”
