Gideon was feeling incredibly awkward.
Fleur was even more furious. "Oh, you two just love to run your mouths, don't you?"
"Yeah, we sure do," Dahlia grinned and uttered. "Fleur, if you’re stingy with money, you'll never get a good daughter-in-law. Look, now your son’s all alone, isn't he?"
"Their family didn't even like her to begin with! They didn’t care about losing shares either!" Calista chimed in, poking at the situation with relish.
Just as Fleur was gearing up to unleash a verbal tirade, Eamon interrupted, "Alright, enough with the bickering. Let’s eat."
At the dinner table, Eamon briefly mentioned Calliope and Silas's situation.
Everyone gathered around the table seemed pretty indifferent. Silas commanded a lot of respect, and no one dared to cross him.
Besides, who Calliope married didn't really matter to them. In fact, her marrying Silas only seemed to elevate her in their eyes.
When she was clinging to Gideon, she seemed so desperate, and everyone looked down on her for it.
The ones having the hardest time were Gideon's family. Not only had they lost Calliope, but they also missed out on shares they thought were as good as theirs.
At this point, regretting was pointless, and they knew they couldn't fight Silas. They just had to swallow their pride.
Gideon tried to say something, but Fleur quickly shoved a piece of roast beef into his mouth.
Fleur was sharp; she knew her son had already pushed the subject of shares with Eamon a few times. Bringing it up again might just anger him. They were out of options now.
Gideon gnawed on the beef, his eyes drawn to the glittering necklace around Calliope’s neck.
He’d given her necklaces too, but they were usually just cheap, maybe few or tens of bucks. He always said it was the thought that counted, and she’d always accepted them with delight.

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......
