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.
“What’s 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 one’s 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 Gideon’s head. His grip on Silas loosened as shards of glass scattered everywhere, and blood trickled down his face.
Gideon, stunned by the pain, didn’t 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.
“Maybe you’re not aware of a few things, but it’s time you got the memo,” she asserted. “About Silas and the Baker family—do you know why he’s been overseeing the Baker Group? It’s not because he’s bored or has any designs on it.”
“It’s because, apart from Eamon, the rest of you couldn’t manage your way out of a paper bag. Without Silas, the Baker Group would have crumbled. Ungrateful isn’t even the half of it. When the Baker Group faced bankruptcy, it was Silas’s mother who saved it with a hefty sum.”
“Do you even know how the Baker Group became what it is today? Maybe you don’t, 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. He’s been wanting to step down, but Eamon wouldn’t let him. He hoped to train you because, compared to the rest of the family, you’re the least incompetent!”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
