"You’re joking, right? Does Gideon need me to live up to him? Well, I'm giving him a chance, aren't I? I'm not hogging his wife spot anymore. He can go ahead and marry Yvette now."
Calliope chuckled. "You must be quite fond of Yvette. Sure, she has no pedigree, can't boost Gideon’s career, and won’t be getting any shares in the company, but she's sweet and kind-hearted. Maybe she’ll even give him a bunch of healthy kids.
Shares and career prospects- who cares about those things, right? Gideon doesn't need a perfect match. True love is what really matters!"
She leaned back with a playful smile. "Don't worry, I'm his dear aunt now. As his elder, I'll be sure to look after the little ones!"
Fleur felt her temples throb with irritation at the thought of shares and Yvette's background. She wanted to snap back but couldn't find the words.
Just then, Gideon walked in.
Who knew how much he had overheard from the doorway? His face was ashen, as if he were ready to tear someone apart.
Calliope turned to him with exaggerated delight. "Oh, look! Isn't this my dear nephew! Our big boy is back! Why are you so quiet? Haven't you been taught to greet your elders properly?"
Calliope's tone was dripping with sarcasm.
A few onlookers in the room were struggling to hold back their laughter.
Gideon's face had turned the color of overripe plums, quite the spectacle. He felt the entire family was watching him like he was the punchline to a joke.
His gaze was icy as he looked at Calliope, his eyes full of questions.
Calliope's smile had a touch of an elder's affection as she met Gideon's stare.

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......
