A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 179 Silas strolled into the room , looking every bit the part in his impeccably tailored suit .

It was as if the crowd parted for him naturally , sensing his commanding presence that demanded respect .

The chatter among the guests ceased almost instantly , leaving a silence that seemed to amplify his every step as he made his way toward Calliope .

When he reached her , he offered a tender smile .

Dont worry , honey .

Im here .

When Calliope saw Silas , all her bottled up emotions threatened to spill over .

Her eyes welled up , and she felt a lump in her throat .

Silas gently tousled her hair , leaning in close to whisper , Dont be afraid .

If they dont want you , I do .

Ill take care of you and give you everything you need .

His voice was soft and reassuring , enough to melt anyones heart .

He took Calliopes hand , turned to Zelda , and said , Give me your account number .

Zelda glared at Silas , her jaw clenched tight in anger .

She venomously glanced at Calliope before begrudgingly rattling off her bank account number .

Silas nodded to Fagan , who had accompanied him .

Transfer one million , he instructed .

Fagan promptly arranged the transfer .

Mrs.

Jewell , the moneys been sent .

Please sign the agreement , he said .

Lets not have any regrets later , coming back to ask for Mrs.

Myers .

We wont need to ask for her back ! Zelda snapped , snatching the agreement and signing it with a flourish .

Fagan continued , Mr.

Monty , Mr.

Horatio , Mr.

Valerian , Mr.

Ulysses , please sign as well .

Mrs.

Myers will have nothing more to do with you all from now on .

This agreement is in duplicate .

One copy for you , one for Mrs.

Myers .

Monty frowned deeply , glancing at Silas before letting out a resigned sigh .

He signed the document , followed by a hesitant Horatio and a somewhat eager Valerian and Ulysses .

Once everyone had signed , Silas collected their copy of the agreement .

He gave the Jewell family a steely look .

From now on , leave my wife alone .

Shes no longer your concern .

Dont think of asking her back .

She doesnt need you .

With that , Silas led Calliope away .

Lets get going , Uriah called to Mavis , who quickly followed suit .

Portia and Archie also hurried after them .

At the door , Silas paused , turning back to address everyone present .

From this day forward , I wont do business with anyone associated with the Jewell family .

After making his declaration , he turned and left .

The room was momentarily stunned into silence .

What did Mr.

Myers mean by that ? someone finally asked .

Its pretty clear that hes protecting his wife ! Better get out while you can if you want to work with the Baker Group .

Dont get dragged down with the Jewell family ! Several attendees exchanged looks , weighing their options .

Realizing that crossing Silas could be costly, many decided to discreetly leave , some offering polite excuses , others slipping out without a word .

Before long , the ballroom was half empty .

The remaining guests had no ties to the Baker Group or were close 21:53 Chapter friends of the Jewell family .

Montys face darkened with rage as he turned on Zelda .

Are you out of your mind ? You think a million is enough to live on for the rest of your life ?
