A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 527

"Silas, you're going to regret this! You'd really cross my father for some woman? Is she worth that much to you?"

"My dad told you to treat me with respect! If this is how you want to play it, I'll tell him everything. And don’t expect me to keep sticking up for you!"

Phoebe jabbed a furious finger at Silas. Her cheeks were flushed with anger.

"I'll give you one last chance—ditch this woman, help me up, and maybe I’ll pretend none of this happened!"

Calliope glanced at Silas, suddenly uncertain. What exactly was going on between him and this woman? Was Phoebe’s father, his business partner, really that influential here? Could she truly end things for Silas just like that?

She’d been too fired up about Hudson to think straight before, but now that her anger cooled, Calliope began to worry she’d created trouble for Silas.

She caught his gaze, silently asking, Did I mess up? Did I just make things worse for you?

But Silas didn’t let go of her hand. If anything, he squeezed it tighter, holding it up between them for everyone to see.

He turned to Phoebe, letting the light catch on the simple gold bands on their fingers. "She’s my wife," he said, steady and clear. "I promised to protect her, always. That’s not changing."

"You—!" Phoebe’s eyes flashed. "I don’t care if she’s your wife or not! If you don’t want to ruin things with my father, you’d better apologize, and she’d better get down on her knees and beg for forgiveness!"

Phoebe was relentless, refusing to back down. Never mind that she’d started this whole mess. She couldn’t, or wouldn’t, see herself as the one at fault. In her mind, Silas was supposed to be hers. He was meant to be her future husband, not someone else’s.

"Tell your father whatever you want," Silas replied coolly. "I’m not the one desperate for his business. If he wants to walk away, that’s his choice. He’s not likely to find a better deal, but he can try. Sure, he loves you enough that he might do it for your sake. But, honestly? My wife comes first. She always will. Anything else comes second, no exceptions."
