Chapter 78

Gideon kept his mouth shut. When someone was powerful enough, even their wrongs were perceived as rights. Silas was one of those people.

Gideon felt a chill run down his spine. Still, he forced a smile. "I know you don't care much about this, but regarding Callie, I know she came to you for help. Please, let us handle this ourselves. As an elder, it's not really appropriate for you to get involved."
