"Well, originally Mr. Myers had sifted through the Baker family, and after much deliberation, he finally settled on Gideon," Damien remarked, taking a sip of his coffee.
Back then, Mr. Myers had high hopes for Gideon. The Baker family wasn't exactly brimming with talent; most members of Mr. Myers’ generation didn't quite cut it. The younger ones were either too young or not quite up to the task.
"Gideon seemed to be the best of the bunch," Damien continued, glancing at Calliope out of the corner of his eye.
"Is there something you want to say?" Calliope asked, sensing there was more on his mind.
"Well, there seemed to be another reason Mr. Myers chose Gideon," Damien recalled.
"What reason?" Calliope asked, intrigued. "What made him think Gideon was a good pick?"
Honestly, she once thought Gideon was promising too. But the more time she spent with him, the more she realized he wasn’t all that. Love had blinded her at first, but now she saw things clearly—Gideon wasn't much to write home about.
He was often a complainer, and many times she found herself sorting out his messes. Thinking about it now gave her an overwhelming sense of frustration.
"It seemed Mr. Myers had you in mind," Damien said after a moment of thought. "He wasn't particularly impressed with Gideon, but he seemed to want to give him a chance because of you."
"But Gideon never seemed to believe Mr. Myers intended to mentor him," Damien added. "He was given plenty of opportunities, but he never seized them."
Even as an outsider, Damien found it frustrating to watch. If he had been given such chances, he'd have clung to them for dear life. But Gideon, like a fool, let them slip by, choosing to wallow in self-pity instead.
Calliope gave Damien a surprised look. "For me?"
"That's my guess," Damien clarified. "Mr. Myers never explicitly said so, but I remember him mentioning that if Gideon were to take over the Baker family, your position would improve as well."

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......
