A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 435 Gideon stormed into the office , his face flushed with anger as he locked eyes with Calista , Silas , sitting calmly behind his desk , met Gideons furious gaze without flinching .

Gideon rarely visited the main office and even less frequently set.foot in Silass domain .

Yet here was Calista , comfortably settled in Silass office , stirring a tempest of anxiety within him .

The unsettling thought clawed at Gideon : Calista was here to replace him .

Silas was offering him the opportunity to step into his shoes .

Uncle Silas invited me , Calista replied coolly , glancing at Gideon .

He thought I should learn a few things from him .

Theres some stuff about my studies I need to discuss with him too .

Whats your angle , Calista ? Gideon narrowed his eyes .

Dont tell me youre eyeing the Baker Group ? And if I am ? Calista shot back as he glanced at Gideon nonchalantly .

Youve got your sights set on the Baker Group too , havent you ? Someone has to take over eventually , and I dont see why it cant be me .

I know I have what it takes .

.

Despite his youth , Calista exuded a shrewd ambition that Gideon had never noticed before , leaving him incredulous .

Im the eldest .

The Baker Group is supposed to be mine to inherit ! I should be the one managing it .

Calista , youre just a student , do you think you have the capability ? Calista nodded .

I might be a student now , and indeed , I havent become that capable , but with Uncle Silas mentoring me , I wont stay inexperienced for long .

Gideons eyes widened in disbelief .

Listen , Gideon , Calista continued with a smirk , inheritance isnt about age .

Your dad , my dad they both wanted to take the reins , but they didnt have what it takes , did they ? Gideon turned to Silas .

Uncle Silas , are you doing this on purpose because youre mad at me ? Do you think this is fair ? Isnt it a bit much to treat me this way ? Silas regarded Gideon with a steady gaze .

Are you questioning me ? Let me make it clear , I do what I want .

I choose who I want .

If you think you can call the shots , youre sorely mistaken .

But why ? Gideon exclaimed , raking his hands through his hair .

You used to believe in my abilities ! No , youre wrong .

Silas gazed at Gideon .

I didnt c hoose you because I thought you were exceptional .

I chose you because I believed you could make Callie happy .

But you squandered that opportunity , and youve got no one to blame but yourself .

And lets not forget , I do hold a grudge .

Your wife , Yvette , crossed a line with mine , and Im holding you accountable for that .

Gideons heart trembled , his red rimmed eyes fixed on Silas .

Uncle Silas , you cant blame me for what Yvette did ! I had no clue she was up to that .

If I had known , I would have stopped her ! Please , Uncle Silas , give me another chance ! Ive learned my lesson .

Ill straighten myself up .

Whatever youre unhappy with , Ill change it all ! Silas shook his head .

I dont need you to change anything .

Ive already found someone more suitable .

Staggering slightly , Gideonsteadied himself against the desk , glaring at Calista with venomous eyes .

Calista stood unfazed , meeting Gideons gaze head on , his demeanor calm and unyielding .
