A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 408 Everyone knew about Silas , more or less .

His reputation was no secret , but still , no one dared to speak up against him , thanks to his ruthless methods and undeniable power .

So when Gideon shouted out , people were genuinely worried for him .

Some nosy folks had already whipped out their phones , recording the whole scene .

Meanwhile , a few journalists were snapping pictures like there was no tomorrow, some even trying to get a word with Gideon .

The more worked up Gideon got , the more the crowd leaned in , eager for the drama to unfold .

Have you caused enough of a scene ? Silas , with Calliope by his side , stood a few steps above , looking down at Gideon with a mix of disdain and amusement .

Their elevated position only added to the intensity of the moment .

If youre done making a fool of yourself , you should probably go sleep it off .

Weve got a wedding to get ready for tomorrow .

Silas didnt seem the least bit angry .

In fact , his face was almost calm , which was more unsettling than if he had been furious .

Calliope , on the other hand , was fuming .

If it werent for Silas , the Baker Group would have crumbled ages ago .

He had worked tirelessly to revive it , and despite the backlash and criticism , he had never once complained .

He even considered grooming Gideon to take over one day .

And this was the thanks he got Gideons public tantrum .

It was embarrassing , a real stain on the Baker name .

Gideon , enough , Calliope shouted back .

Calliope , youre only with him because hes got power over the Baker Group .

Youre just a gold digger ! I loved you , and you still chose him ! Calliope groaned internally .

Uriah , who had been lingering nearby , leaned casually against the railing , watching the whole spectacle unfold like it was prime entertainment .

Wow , the Baker heir finally grew a spine ! Took him long enough , but he needed a few drinks to find it .

If youre so capable , why couldnt you hold onto your own company or your girl ? Calliopes lips twitched as she glanced back at Uriah .

Silas turned slightly , casting a quick glance at Uriah , who stood with one hand in his pocket , grinning at the crowd .

You guys cant be that gullible , right ? Just because Gideon says something doesnt make it true .

The murmur of the crowd quieted down immediately .

Everyone knew Uriah and Silas were as thick as thieves , both equally formidable and not to be trifled with .

No one wanted to cross them .

People looked at Gideon with a mix of pity and disbelief .

Of all times to lose it , he chose now .

Callie , come back to me , I still love you ! Gideon pleaded , his voice desperate .

Silas , give her back to me ! Give the company back to the Bakers ! Gideon lunged at Silas , trying to grab his collar .

Silas merely raised an eyebrow , not bothering to evade , letting Gideon clutch at his shirt .

Calliope , witnessing Gideons continued meltdown , exhaled sharply .

She glanced around , then decisively stroc over to a nearby table .
