A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 55 Yeah , I was just kidding around .

You were so tense just now , I almost believed youd actually cleaned out the company ! Calliope chuckled lightly .

So , whats it gonna be ? Dont agree ? Fine , Ill head out then .

Just as she was about to stand up , Monty made a decision and said , Alright , Ill give it to you ! Then send the money over , Calliope said , looking up .

Are you really that eager ? Monty asked , clearly indignant .

Im just worried youll back out , Calliope shrugged .

This is for my emotional distress , and right now youre willing to pay .

Who knows , you might change your mind later ! Monty pulled out his phone , ready to transfer the money to Calliope .

Zelda grabbed Montys arm , glancing at Calliope with hesitation .

She wasnt too keen on handing over the money to Calliope .

With a bit of suspicion , Zelda asked , If we give you this money , will you really stay with Gideon ? Zelda , are you trying to sell your daughter ? Calliope raised her eyebrows .

If you dont want to give it , thats fine .

Ill leave , hows that ? She made a move to get up .

Monty panicked .

Okay , Im transferring it now ! With a few quick taps , Monty sent the money to Calliope , looking as if it physically hurt him .

Lisette , standing nearby , couldnt help but feel a pang of regret herself .

Five hundred thousand dollars wasnt exactly pocket change to her , and certainly not to the Jewell family .

Calliope had managed to get it with just a few choice words , and Lisette was nearly fuming .

But she couldnt stop Monty or the others .

Being the obedient daughter she was , she couldnt defy them .

Alright , the moneys in your account .

Can you at least have a proper talk with Gideon now? Monty asked , You- should be satisfied .

Youve made a killing , so go explain things to Eamon Baker and start living a decent life .

Calliope glanced at Gideon .

Lets have a private chat , shall we ? Gideons eyes lit up with a flicker of hope .

Finally , she was willing to talk to him alone .

Maybe there was still a chance .

didnt let his excitement show, though , and just nodded at Calliope .

He was convinced Calliope still loved him .

As for her and his uncle , that was probably just a charade for Silas , a way to repay some kind of debt to her .

Gideon looked at Calliope , feeling shed always been easy to handle .

Soon enough , shed probably apologize to him .

She always did that .

After her anger subsided , shed start feeling guilty and find ways to make it up to him .

The truth was , she couldnt live without him , Gideon thought .

As for him , whether it was her or another woman , it didnt really matter much .

Of course , Gideon kept all this to himself .

The shares of the Baker Group were worth far more than one million , and it was about more than just the cash .

So , he needed to secure those shares first .

Help me carry these things to the car , Calliope said to Gideon .

Gideon obediently picked up the bags of food ..

Chapter 59 Seeing Calliope willing to spend time alone with Gideon , Zelda and the others felt hopeful and didnt say much more .

Calliope left the room satisfied .

As she reached the door , she turned back to Monty and said , Monty , dont forget to settle the bill ! Monty was speechless .

Outside , Calliope made a quick call , and soon Damien pulled up in the car .

Maam , Damien greeted Calliope respectfully as he stepped out , and then nodded to Gideon .

Mr.

Baker .
