A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 217 Yvette , you little sneak ! How could you keep your wedding a secret from me ? I heard youre marrying into the wealthy Baker family of Capitalton .

What , are you scared Id ask you for money , so you decided to keep me in the dark ? Trevor Langley burst in , grabbing a fistful of Yvettes hair as he shouted .

Yvettes head jerked back , and she let out a shriek of pain .

Tears sprang to her eyes .

Dad , that hurts ! Dad … no , I wasnt trying to hide it from you ! I just hadnt gotten around to telling you yet ! * Hadnt gotten around to it ? What nonsense ! You just think Im an embarrassment ! You invited everyone else but left me out ! What do you take me for ? You are my damn child , remember that ! Without me , youd be nothing ! I heard you gave your moms side some money , but nothing for me ? What , is she your real parent and Im not ? Yvettes eyes were red with pain , and she cried

out , Ill give you the money , just please let go ! Youre going to rip my scalp off ! Calliope watched , feeling her own scalp tingle in sympathy .

Yvettes father was a real piece of work .

But she found it amusing in a way .

Neither Yvette nor her father were saints , so watching them fight wasnt exactly a tragedy .

Trevor finally released Yvettes hair , pull over a chair and plopped into it , picking up a toothpick to idly clean his teeth .

Fleur was speechless , her expression one of shock .

What kind of family was Yvette from ? Trevor , what are you doing here causing trouble ? This is Yvettes big day , and youre just making a mess ! Verena shouted .

Trevor sneered at her .

Why shouldnt I be involved in my daughters affairs ? And dont think I dont know about -you pocketing her money ! We havent settled that score yet ! Eamon put a hand to his forehead , clearly taken aback by the family .

He glanced over at Calliope for help .

Receiving his plea , Calliope rapped her knuckles on the table , drawing all eyes to her .

Let me say a few words .

And who are you ? Where are your manners ? You think you have a right to speak here ? Trevor snapped .

Me ? Im your future son in laws uncles wife , the matriarch of the Baker family , and the wife of the Baker Groups CEO , Calliope introduced herself casually .

In other words , your future son in law will be working under my husbands leadership .

Do I have the right to speak now ? Even Fleur wouldnt dare speak to me like that .

Do you have a problem with me ? Her words were calm but carried an undeniable authority .

Trevor and the others were momentarily stunned .

They quickly did the mental math of what her position meant , and , realizing her connection to Silas , wisely decided not to cross her .

You all asked for an eight million dollar wedding gift , and I dont see a problem with that , Calliope continued .

Calliope ! Fleur objected immediately , shooting her a glare , thinking she was stirring the pot .

Gideon also frowned as he glanced at Calliope , unsure of where she was going with this .

Right ? You think our request isnt too much , dont you ? Verena eagerly chimed in .

Thats why youre the matriarch , so understanding and generous ! Well , it is indeed not much .

For an opulent family like the Bakers , a wedding gift of ten million isnt Chapter 217 unreasonable , Calliope curled her lips into a smile .

But usually , in a high society match , whatever the grooms family gives , the brides family matches with the same amount in a bridal gift .
