"Why are you here?"
Gideon stormed into the office, his face flushed with anger as he locked eyes with Calista.
Silas, sitting calmly behind his desk, met Gideon's furious gaze without flinching.
Gideon rarely visited the main office and even less frequently set foot in Silas's domain. Yet here was Calista, comfortably settled in Silas's office, stirring a tempest of anxiety within him.
The unsettling thought clawed at Gideon: Calista was here to replace him. Silas was offering him the opportunity to step into his shoes.
"Uncle Silas invited me," Calista replied coolly, glancing at Gideon. "He thought I should learn a few things from him. There’s some stuff about my studies I need to discuss with him too."
"What’s your angle, Calista?" Gideon narrowed his eyes. "Don’t tell me you’re eyeing the Baker Group?"
"And if I am?" Calista shot back as he glanced at Gideon nonchalantly. "You’ve got your sights set on the Baker Group too, haven’t you? Someone has to take over eventually, and I don’t see why it can’t be me. I know I have what it takes."
Despite his youth, Calista exuded a shrewd ambition that Gideon had never noticed before, leaving him incredulous.
"I’m the eldest. The Baker Group is supposed to be mine to inherit! I should be the one managing it. Calista, you’re just a student, do you think you have the capability?"
Calista nodded. "I might be a student now, and indeed, I haven’t become that capable, but with Uncle Silas mentoring me, I won’t stay inexperienced for long."

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......
