A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 409 The room fell silent , eyes darting between Silas and Calliope .

A few curious souls also glanced at Uriah , who stood on the steps looking impossibly dashing .

Whats Calliope up to now ? someone muttered , watching as she picked up a bottle of whiskey , suspicion clouding their gaze .

The group seated at the table in front of Calliope exchanged bewildered looks as she reached for the bottle .

This ones empty , right ? Calliope asked , holding up the bottle .

Mind if I borrow it ? The people at the table nodded , still trying to process what was happening .

With determination in her stride , Calliope headed towards Gideon .

Gideon ! she called out , and before anyone could react , she smashed the bottle over Gideons head .

His grip on Silas loosened as shards of glass scattered everywhere , and blood trickled down his face .

Gideon , stunned by the pain , didnt even clutch his wound .

He stared at Calliope , incredulous .

Sobered up yet ? If not , I can give you another go , Calliope said coldly , tossing the broken bottle aside .

The crowd quickly stepped back , shock and awe mingling in their expressions .

Some even looked at Calliope with newfound respect .

Uriah started clapping .

Thats Silass wife for you fearless ! Silas didnt need to say a word ; a slight smirk played on his lips , clearly proud of his wifes boldness .

You- Gideon stammered , his thoughts scrambled .

Clear headed now ? Good , because I have a few things to say , Calliope continued , her tone icy .

Callie- Gideon began , but Calliope cut him off .

Not Callie .

Try Aunt Calliope instead ! Maybe youre not aware of a few things , but its time you got the memo , she asserted .

About Silas and the Baker family do you know why hes been overseeing the Baker Group ? Its not because hes bored or has any designs on it .

Its because , apart from Eamon , the rest of you couldnt manage your way out of a paper bag .

Without Silas , the Baker Group would have crumbled .

Ungrateful isnt even the half of it .

When the Baker Group faced bankruptcy , it was Silass mother who saved it with a hefty sum .

Do you even know how the Baker Group became what it is today ? Maybe you dont , but you should ask your parents .

Silas built it up ! And now , you think you can just waltz in and claim it all ? Tell me , what have you actually done for the Baker Group ? Anyone with a bit of age on them here knows the truth about this .

And let me be clear , Silas has zero interest in the Baker Group .

Hes been wanting to step down , but Eamon wouldnt let him .

He hoped to train you because , compared to the rest of the family , youre the least incompetent ! 17.25
