"Mom..." Yvette's face was a picture of panic.
How could she possibly bring up the topic with the Baker family? Marrying Gideon was already a long shot - asking for a wedding gift might just push the Baker family over the edge, ruining any chance she had of becoming a part of their world.
Once she became Mrs. Yvette Baker, she was able to step into the life of luxury. But if the marriage talks fell apart now, she would be doomed with nothing left.
At the moment, Yvette was more anxious than ever.
Calliope watched the Jansen family with a mix of surprise and disbelief. They were even more outrageous than she had imagined.
"Zip it! I'm your mother, and I decide about the wedding gift!" Yvette's mother snapped at her. "Our daughter won't be marrying without an eight-million wedding gift!"
"Yeah, if you can't do that, then forget about the wedding!" Ivor chimed in. "That's the going rate, so we're not being unreasonable!"
"We'll pay the gift, but eight million is excessive," Fleur said, her face stern. "That's just too much for us."
Honestly, Fleur wasn’t thrilled about having Yvette as a daughter-in-law even when there was no wedding gift demanded. The Jansen family’s threat were just pushing her limits.
"No deal, no wedding!" Verena huffed. "If you look down on us, fine! Yvette is amazing, and there are plenty of other fish in the sea!"
"Right, you've already sent out invites, so if we call this off, it'll be your embarrassment!" Ivor sneered.
Fleur's face darkened with anger, her fist clenched so tight that her nails almost dug deep in the skin.
Gideon looked at the Jansen trio in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock. He glanced at Yvette, and his opinion of her started to sour.

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 !!!...
