A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 77 Mr.

Myers , Gideon is here , Fagan announced , poking his head into the office where Silas was buried in a pile of paperwork .

Silas looked up briefly , raising an eyebrow , Hes here ? Yes , he mentioned he has something important to discuss with you .

Should I let him in ? Silas nodded .

Let him in .

Right away , Fagan turned and left the room .

A few minutes later , Gideon knocked and entered Silass office .

The main office of the headquarters was , unsurprisingly , far more impressive than his own .

Gideon glanced around the room as he walked in .

As a matter of face , he rarely visited his uncles domain .

Despite their minimal age difference , Silas exuded an inherent authority that made the gap feel vast .

In the eyes of their family , Silas was more of a legend than a mere mortal .

The Baker Group , while named after the family , was essentially Silass empire .

The company wasnt always the formidable force it was now .

It was Silass leadership that transformed a teetering business into a powerhouse that commanded both respect and fear .

To the younger generation , Silas was untouchable .

None of the Baker family members were foolish enough to challenge him directly .

Gideon included .

He was intimidated by Silas , who always seemed a bit distant and unapproachable .

But today , for Calliopes sake , he had to confront his uncle .

Uncle Silas , Gideon greeted softly after closing the door , stepping up to Silass desk .

Silas didnt immediately respond , his attention still on his documents .

This left Gideon feeling a bit anxious .

He tried again , more earnestly this time .

Uncle Silas , I wanted to talk about Callie .

At this , Silas finally looked up .

His devilishly handsome face was inscrutable , and though seated , he conveyed an air of superiority that was hard to ignore .

Gideon felt the weight of it .

What is it ? Silas asked .

First , I need to apologize .

The situation with Callie has troubled you , and Im truly sorry .

On the day of the wedding , it was my fault .

I wasnt there , which led Callie to seek your help .

I was in the wrong , and I owe you an apology .

Ive thought it over , and I plan to bring Callie back .

Uncle Silas , would you be okay with this ? Gideon assumed that a sincere apology would smooth things over .

Surely , Silas wouldnt make things difficult for his nephew over a woman , he supposed .

Silass lips curled into a faint , bemused smile as he regarded Gideon .

You want to take my wife away ? Uncle Silas , come on , dont joke around .

I know Callie isnt to your taste .

You wouldnt compete with your nephew over a woman ! Gideon chuckled nervously .

Besides , Callie loves me .

She turned to you out of spite.

I understand weve inconvenienced you , and thats on us .

I wont trouble you anymore .

Ill take Callie back and clear things up with everyone .

You were just helping out , nothing more .

Silas leaned back in his chair , his expression unchanged , the collar of his shirt open just enough to show a hint of his attractive collarbone , and his hands casually clasped together .

He looked at Gideon with a hint of amusement .

Do you think I care about what others say ? Silas asked again .
