A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 191 Gideon , dont you dare push it too far ! Portia spat out through gritted teeth , glaring at him .

Gideon didnt bother with a reply .

Instead , he fixed his eyes on Calliope , sending a clear message he wanted her to beg him for help .

He was well aware that the Jewell family wouldnt lift a finger for Calliope , not with Lisette in the picture .

Nobody would stand up for her , and if she didnt plead with him , he might just testify in favor of that couple himself .

Portia was practically fuming , hoping the police would get to the bottom of it .

Gideon casually strolled over to Calliope , leaning close to whisper conspiratorially in her ear , Why dont you ask for help nicely , Callie ? Beg me , and I might just testify for you .

Otherwise , Ill tell them it was you who hit that couple .

Im sure Uncle Silas wouldnt be thrilled to see you behind bars .

A sly grin tugged at his lips , his eyes glinting with mischief .

After all , Calliope had chosen Silas , repeatedly ignoring Gideon , so he felt justified in playing dirty .

Calliope stepped back , unfazed .

Her sharp and striking eyes met his with a calm defiance .

Didnt anyone teach you to show some respect to your elders , Gideon ? Behind bars ? You think that will happen , huh ? Her voice was low , almost husky , but filled with an unwavering Her voice was low , almost husky , but filled with an unwavering confidence .

Her gaze never wavered , and at that moment , Gideons heart skipped a beat , feeling as if it wanted to leap out of his chest .

Hed never realized how captivating and mesmerizing she could be .

Calliope coldly glanced away and pulled out her phone , her fingers moving swiftly over the screen .

A few moments later , a knowing smirk played on her lips .

Funny thing , the cameras seem to be working just fine .

And look at that .

Theres a clear shot of you hitting your wife , she said , turning the screen toward the couple .

The womans face went ashen at the sight of the footage , while the man was rendered speechless .

With the surveillance evidence against them , there was nothing left to argue .

The man turned to the police officers , his expression tense .

I It was just a game between my wife and me .

Nothing serious .

Just a game , huh ? Calliope arched an eyebrow .

How about I join in your little games ? The officers requested the footage from Calliope and promptly escorted the couple out .

The bar soon returned to its usual lively atmosphere .

However , some patrons were curious about how Calliope had access to the security footage .

One particularly nosy onlooker couldnt resist asking , Ms.

Jewell , how did you get your hands on that footage ? Wasnt the system supposed to be down ? With so many cameras around , hacking into one isnt exactly rocket science , Calliope replied nonchalantly .

Her response left the crowd momentarily stunned , and then a few gave her a thumbs up .

Ms.

Calliope , thats impressive ! Ms.

Calliope is a hacker , too ? Ms.

Calliope , care to join us for a drink ? Calliope politely declined the drink offers while Portia settled beside her , casting an annoyed glance at Gideon .

07:05 pter Gideon , what are you gawking at ? We dont need your help anymore ! Gideon looked at Calliope , still reeling from what hed just witnessed .

He had no idea she was capable of hacking into security systems .

Hed watched her deftly manipulate her phone , pulling up the footage like childs play .

How did you even do that ? Gideon asked , furrowing his brow .

Why didnt I know you could do something like that ? Is it so surprising ? There are plenty of things you dont know about me , Portia interjected , arms crossed .

When you finally do , youll be kicking yourself for sure .
