"Gideon, don't you dare push it too far!" Portia spat out through gritted teeth, glaring at him.
Gideon didn't bother with a reply. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Calliope, sending a clear message - he wanted her to beg him for help.
He was well aware that the Jewell family wouldn't lift a finger for Calliope, not with Lisette in the picture. Nobody would stand up for her, and if she didn't plead with him, he might just testify in favor of that couple himself.
Portia was practically fuming, hoping the police would get to the bottom of it.
Gideon casually strolled over to Calliope, leaning close to whisper conspiratorially in her ear, "Why don't you ask for help nicely, Callie? Beg me, and I might just testify for you. Otherwise, I'll tell them it was you who hit that couple. I'm sure Uncle Silas wouldn't be thrilled to see you behind bars."
A sly grin tugged at his lips, his eyes glinting with mischief. After all, Calliope had chosen Silas, repeatedly ignoring Gideon, so he felt justified in playing dirty.
Calliope stepped back, unfazed. Her sharp and striking eyes met his with a calm defiance. "Didn't anyone teach you to show some respect to your elders, Gideon?"
"Behind bars? You think that will happen, huh?" Her voice was low, almost husky, but filled with an unwavering confidence.
Her gaze never wavered, and at that moment, Gideon's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if it wanted to leap out of his chest. He'd never realized how captivating and mesmerizing she could be.
Calliope coldly glanced away and pulled out her phone, her fingers moving swiftly over the screen.
A few moments later, a knowing smirk played on her lips.
"Funny thing, the cameras seem to be working just fine. And look at that. There's a clear shot of you hitting your wife," she said, turning the screen toward the couple.
The woman's face went ashen at the sight of the footage, while the man was rendered speechless.
With the surveillance evidence against them, there was nothing left to argue.
The man turned to the police officers, his expression tense. "I-It was just a game between my wife and me. Nothing serious."

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 !!!...
