"Can I have a word with him alone?" Calliope glanced at Silas.
She worried that Gideon would keep pestering him. She knew Silas was a busy man, and there was no need for him to waste time on her matters. She could explain things to Gideon herself.
Silas gave her a slight nod.
"I'll have Damien come pick you up," he said, giving her the respect she deserved.
After Calliope got out, the car drove off.
She now stood face-to-face with Gideon, who watched Silas's car disappear, disbelief written all over his face.
His uncle explained nothing, as usual.
Gideon turned to her, inhaling sharply, his eyes filled with anger and disbelief. "Calliope, you must be joking, right? Is it because I wasn't around that Grandpa had Uncle take my place at the wedding?"
Calliope looked at him calmly. "Are you just worried about losing your shares?"
"I'm serious, Calliope. You better explain what's going on. You know I'm getting upset," Gideon said, a hint of desperation in his eyes.
Of course, he was. Without this marriage, the shares Grandpa promised would slip right through his fingers. And on top of that, seeing Silas with Calliope made him uneasy.
Calliope was supposed to be his. She had always chased after him. Yet now, she was by Silas’s side without hesitation.
What was that all about?
"You're just upset because of Yvette, aren't you? Every time it's about Yvette, you throw a tantrum," Gideon said, stepping forward and trying to pull Calliope in for a kiss.
Just then, Damien pulled up in a Porsche, catching the scene as he got out.
Startled, he took a step forward, ready to rush over and protect Calliope. But before he could act, he watched in surprise as Calliope swiftly slapped Gideon's hand away.
In one fluid motion, she grabbed his arm and flipped him effortlessly over her shoulder.
Gideon, completely unprepared, hit the ground with a thud.
Calliope dusted off her hands, looking down at Gideon with a calm demeanor. She steadied her breath and said coolly, "Kid, stop fooling around. This isn't a game. Also, your grandpa said there's a family dinner tonight. Don't forget to show up."

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
