A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 213 Youre asking me to cheat and be your mistress ? Calliope looked at Gideon with amused incredulity .

She took a step back .

What makes you think you can compete with Silas ? Never mind your status , you cant even get into the main office .

And as for your looks and physique , where on earth does your confidence come from ? Have you even looked in a mirror lately ? Calliope ! Gideon exclaimed in disbelief .

Theres no need to be so harsh , even if youre upset ! I know deep down you saying this just means you actually love me ! You still love me , dont you ? You just dont want to admit it ! Calliope was silent for a moment , her eyes scanning him closely .

How come Ive never realized ? Realized what ? That Im this handsome ? Gideon asked , his confidence unshaken .

Never realized you were such a dumbass , Calliope said , her expression deadpan .

And by the way , Ive recorded everything you just said .

She pulled out her phone and pressed play, letting the audio fill the air around them .

Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she looked at him .

Gideon , what do you think your dear uncle will say when he hears this ? Calliope , you recorded me without my consent ! How could you ? Gideon spluttered , his temper flaring .

Calliope gazed at him , her demeanor calm .

I just thought your words werent exactly pleasant , so I recorded them .

Give me that phone and delete the recording ! Gideon demanded furiously .

Not happening .

Calliope said , firmness written all over her exquisite face .

Gideon lunged for the phone , but Calliope was quick on her feet , dodging his attempts easily .

Gideon even stumbled after a few tries , his face turning livid with fury .

Calliope ! Calliope gazed down at him , her expression cool and resolute .

I wont share this with your uncle for now , but if you keep entertaining these ridiculous ideas , I might just change my mind .

With that , she turned on her heel and left , leaving Gideon to stew in his complex emotions a mix of anger , frustration , and a begrudging sense of helplessness .

The next day , the Baker family was set to meet the Jansens , so Calliope and Silas joined them at the scheduled restaurant .

By the time they arrived , Eamon and the others were already gathered , though Yvette and Gideon were conspicuously absent .

Are they not here yet ? Silas inquired as they settled down .

Gideon went to pick them up , Fleur replied , a hint of impatience in her voice .

Fleur wasnt particularly impressed with Yvettes background .

Shed done her homework and discovered Yvette came from a rather chaotic family .

Her mother had been married three times , and she had a half brother from a different father , with her own father a notorious gambler .

To keep things from getting too embarrassing , Fleur had discreetly handed Gideon some cash to ensure they stayed in line .

They should be here soon , Eamon reassured them .

After some small talk , Gideon finally arrived with Yvette and her family in tow .

Yvette had apparently made an 1/2 23.21 Chapter 213 effort to spruce up her parents and half brother, and they were dressed reasonably well .

Ah , you must be Yvettes future mother in law! Yvettes mother bounded over to Fleur and grabbed her hand in a fervent handshake before sending greetings to the rest .

Fleur grimaced heavily , taking a moment to finally extricate her hand from the womans grip .

Noticing Silas and Calliope , Yvettes mother turned her attention to them .

And you must be Gideons uncle ! I hear youre in charge of the company .

Please , do look out for our Yvette ! Watching the womans fawning demeanor , Fleur only felt her cheeks flush with utter embarrassment .

Alright , lets just sit down and enjoy our meal .
