A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 319

Calliope strolled into the exclusive club, blissfully unaware that someone was tailing her.

Gideon kept a safe distance behind, ensuring he wouldn't draw attention yet close enough to keep her in sight. The particular club was tucked away in a prime location downtown, right by the serene lake, and had quite the reputation.

Usually, getting into a place like this required some serious clout. If you weren't one of Capitalton's elite, you could forget about it.

Gideon never pegged Calliope as someone who could enter such a place. He assumed she was with Silas, who had the pull that made such things possible. But Calliope appeared alone. Silas's car had already driven off.

What was she doing there? Did she snag Silas's platinum-level membership card?

It made sense. Calliope herself wouldn't have the credentials to step foot in a place like this. Gideon had only recently scored his membership after shelling out a small fortune and calling in countless favors.

He shook his head, chuckling at his own naivety. What was he thinking? There was no way Calliope could just waltz in here.

Plus, there was a private auction happening today, featuring some extremely rare artifacts. The club was even harder to access than usual. Unless Silas had sent her here, she wouldn't have a shot.
