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."

"You were the one who let her go, and she's the one who came to me," Silas replied. "She doesn't want to go back to you, and I won't let her either.

Gideon, Callie is my wife now - not just in name but in every sense. So she's your aunt-in-law, really. Stop coveting her shares or hoping she'll come back to you.

And one more thing, don't trouble her. If you so much as harm a hair on her head, I can make sure you never return to the Baker Group."

His voice carried a weight that was hard to ignore. Gideon was taken aback, staring at Silas in disbelief. "Uncle Silas, isn't this a bit much? Callie was my girl, and now you're competing with your nephew for a woman? It's laughable for the outsiders."

"Who's going to laugh?" Silas raised an eyebrow.

"But..." Gideon looked at Silas, and then something clicked. "You two... you didn't actually... consummate the marriage, did you?"
