A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 135 Yvette glanced around the room , taking in the décor before her eyes landed on the people around .

Gideon had mentioned it would just be a quiet dinner with his parents and grandfather .

But to her surprise , it seemed like the entire Baker family had shown up .

Calliope and Silas were there , which she could handle , but so were many other relatives .

She didnt know them , but Gideon had told her stories about his family three uncles and a few cousins , each with quirks .

None of them sounded easygoing .

She had been excited , thinking shed have Gideons support .

But with so many eyes on her like she was the evenings entertainment , her confidence wavered .

Standing by Gideons side , Yvette felt like a deer caught in headlights .

She dreamed of becoming a wealthy socialite , but her life had been a struggle .

Her entire years budget wouldnt match their daily spending .

When facing the well dressed crowd , her insecurities bubbled to the surface .

She wanted to marry into this world but had no clue how to fit in .

Fleur , Gideons mother , noticed Yvette inching behind her son , trying to blend in .

Her expression was one of pure disdain .

Yvette was not the match shed envisioned for her son .

Fleur had done her homework on this girl .

The thought that Yvette had somehow derailed Gideons potential engagement to Calliope and the accompanying business stakes boiled her blood .

This was all Yvettes fault ! Who did she think she was , trying to latch onto Gideon ? She should take a good look in the mirror .

Fleurs gaze was sharp and cutting , sending a chill down Yvettes spine .

Gideons father didnt seem more welcoming , frowning as he regarded her .

Elsewhere , Calliope sat calmly beside Silas , who was strikingly handsome , exuding superiority even in his relaxed state .

He was leisurely peeling an orange , offering segments to Calliope one by one .

Calliopes gaze was like a cat watching a mouse , filled with amusement and mockery .

The look pierced Yvettes heart .

She bit her lip , her hands clenching in frustration .

Calliope was nothing more than the woman Gideon had left behind .

Gideon chose her , Yvette , over Calliope ! As for Silas , there was no way hed be interested in someone his nephew had discarded .

Calliopes smugness would be short lived .

Once she married Gideon , she vowed to oust Calliope from the Baker familys circle .

Well , so this is the girl Gideons marrying ? Verity piped up , glancing at Calliope first , then turning her attention to Yvette with unmasked curiosity .

What did Gideon see in you ? Why are you hiding behind him like a scared child ? Were not going to bite you .

Whats there to be afraid of ? Youre not as pretty as Callie , nor do you seem to have her charm .

Maybe you come from money , a family that matches the Bakers ? I remember Fleur always saying Callie wasnt good enough for Gideon .

So , you must have something exceptional , a background that outshines Callies ! Otherwise , why would Gideon bring you home ? Veritys tongue was as sharp as ever .

1/2 08:20 Chapter 135 Yvettes fists clenched tighter , her face flushed with anger .

Fleur was equally furious .

Her anger was directed at Yvette .

If not for this womans scheming , Gideon wouldnt have brought her home .

Clearly , she had an agenda dreaming of marrying into wealth and changing her life .

She should really take a good look at herself .

But since she was the one Gideon brought home , Fleur couldnt show her displeasure openly without undermining her son .
