Chapter 430 “Uncle Silas, what do we do next?” Gideon couldn’t bring himself to say he didn’t want to go through with the wedding anymore, so he just let Silas take the lead. Silas glanced over at Calliope, clearly seeking her opinion. “Take her to the hospital,” Calliope suggested calmly.
Chapter 429 Fleur felt her face burning with embarrassment, acutely aware of the many eyes fixed upon her. She knew people were surely mocking her. Calliope was not the daughter-in-law she wanted; she had ended up with a fool instead. Not only foolish but also malicious! She wouldn’t have minded
Chapter 428 After Verity finished speaking, she offered Calliope a few comforting words. Meanwhile, the big screen in the grand hall kept looping the footage of Yvette pulling Calliope into the stairwell, having that heated conversation, and then tumbling down the stairs herself. In the video, it was clear Calliope
Chapter 427 “Gideon, as much as I dislike Yvette, it’s entirely this woman’s fault that she lost the baby!” Fleur fumed, pointing an accusatory finger at Calliope. “Calliope, how are you going to make up for the loss of my grandson?” she demanded. “You caused the miscarriage. How could you
Chapter 426 Yvette was sobbing uncontrollably as she clung to Fleur. “Mom, I’m so sorry,” she wailed. “I couldn’t protect your grandchild! I never wanted this to happen. I didn’t know Aunt Calliope would do something so awful out of jealousy p> “My baby, my baby is gone p> Fleur
Chapter 425 Yvette’s voice boomed through the hallway, loud enough that anyone passing by would surely hear it. Of course, Yvette had planned for that. She wanted witnesses to see what she claimed Calliope had done-pushed her down the stairs, causing her to miscarry. In a calculated move, Yvette positioned
Chapter 424 “Auntie, what are you talking about? I just wanted to have a quick word with you about Gideon. Of course, I’m going to see the wedding through peacefully p> Yvette shot a glance at Calliope, her eyes narrowing. “Someone’s coming over. Can we have a chat over here
Chapter 423 Calliope and Silas were casually chatting and munching on snacks, not really paying much attention to the newlyweds up on the stage. Once the speeches and toasts were done, Gideon and Yvette started making their rounds, clinking glasses with each table. Given that Yvette was pregnant, Gideon made
Chapter 422 Who knows what goes on in his mind from day to day? Marrying someone like Yvette? What was he thinking? “Grandpa, don’t worry, she’s not going to pin anything on me,” Calliope assured Eamon with a smile. “I’ve got it all handled. Just giving you a heads up,
Chapter 421 The Jansen family realized they were in over their heads with the Bakers. Looking at Fleur’s demeanor, there was a real chance she might call the whole thing off, leaving them a laughingstock. And to think they’d have to cough up all that money? They’d spent most of
Chapter 420 As soon as Yvette heard those words, her heart skipped a beat. Her face turned pale, and a wave of panic washed over her. She glanced around the room, desperately seeking someone who might come to her aid, but found no one. “Hey, you all better stop right
Chapter 419 “Gideon, that’s not how it works. If you really like our Yvette, shouldn’t you treat her a bit better?” Yvette’s father chimed in, his voice dripping with expectation over the table. “Exactly, Gideon,” her uncle added, leaning back in his chair, “Your family’s rolling in dough, and the
Chapter 418 “I really admire Uncle Silas. I want to learn from him,” Calista said with a determined look in his eyes. “Originally, Uncle Silas wanted to groom you for the job, but you turned it down. Now the opportunity has come to me, and I’m not going to let
Chapter 417 Callie quickly walked away, heading straight for Silas. Gideon watched her go, then glanced over at Silas. He was introducing Calista to people, showing him around like he once did with Gideon. As he watched, a realization hit him. There was a time when Silas was grooming him
Chapter 416 Yvette noticed it too, and she was more than a little annoyed with Gideon. As soon as the ceremony was over, she pulled Gideon aside. “Gideon, today is our wedding day. Could you please not act like this? Everyone’s watching, and you’re making it really awkward for me.
Chapter 415 “Can you believe this craziness p> “Honestly, Calliope is way better than this Yvette. She’s prettier too. No matter how Yvette dresses up, she can’t hold a candle to Calliope p> “Exactly! Calliope might dress simply, but she still outshines Yvette by miles p> “Besides, isn’t Calliope that
Chapter 414 Calliope glanced over at Calista with mild surprise. In the Baker family, there was a common sentiment among the younger generation: they both feared and avoided Silas. They knew he was capable, but they’d never dare ask him for help or advice. Yet here was Calista, boldly declaring
Chapter 413 Dominic stared at Vespera without moving, his expression subtle. He said, “My hands are sore p> Vespera mumbled, “They aren’t p> Dominic replied, “The water has gone cold p> Again, Vespera responded, “No, it hasn’t p> Dominic was rendered speechless. As he looked at Vespera’s current state, he
Chapter 412 The Baker family all knew, even if they didn’t openly admit it, that Silas had contributed immensely to the family’s success. So when Calliope overheard Gideon speaking dismissively about Silas in front of a crowd, she was furious. Anyone unaware of the truth might have thought that Silas
Chapter 411 Gideon found himself in the hospital, courtesy of a few stitches in his head thanks to his friends’ timely intervention. They gathered around him, some patting his shoulder, others offering words of comfort. “Hey, buddy, maybe be a little more cautious next time, yeah p> “That was Silas,
