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 415 “Can you believe this craziness p> “Honestly, Calliope is way better than this Yvette. She’s prettier too.

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.

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.

Chapter 410 “So, he’s been grooming you to be his heir all along! You had no idea, did you? And now, after all that rebellion, you might not even be the heir after all p> Calliope’s words hit like a lightning bolt, leaving everyone around in stunned realization. The crowd
Chapter 409 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
Chapter 408 Everyone knew about Silas, more or less. His reputation was no secret, but still, no one dared to speak up against him, thanks to his ruthless methods and undeniable power. So when Gideon shouted out, people were genuinely worried for him. Some nosy folks had already whipped out
Chapter 407 Calliope and Silas never imagined that Gideon, not only drunk out of his mind, would start acting crazy right there in front of everyone. Silas furrowed his brow slightly. Calliope shot Gideon a warning look, her voice chilly as she said, “Gideon, it’s time to cut it out
Chapter 406 She couldn’t count how many times she’d said it-Silas was her choice. Besides, it was Gideon who had left her first, so what was he so upset about? He never seemed to reflect on his own actions. She had talked with Silas about it, and Silas had actually

Chapter 404 Her talents? Endless. And let’s not forget, she’s absolutely stunning, way out of Yvette’s league. Plus, if even Silas wants to marry her, doesn’t that prove how amazing she is? Everyone couldn’t help but glance sympathetically at Gideon. Gideon was always under Silas’s thumb. If Calliope weren’t with
Chapter 403 Gideon was ignoring his buddies, feeling utterly miserable. Tomorrow was his wedding day with Yvette, but he felt none of the joy expected of a groom. Sure, he was about to become a father, and he didn’t dislike the idea of having a kid. But his feelings for
Chapter 402 “Hey, I thought you weren’t coming back until tomorrow?” Calliope asked, a hint of surprise in her voice. Silas chuckled, “I missed you too much. Did you bring me the gift I wanted p> “Yeah, I got it. You’re back for good now, right? Not leaving again tomorrow
