A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

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!"

Calliope's words hit like a lightning bolt, leaving everyone around in stunned realization. The crowd murmured in admiration, marveling at Calliope's boldness.

Calliope chuckled, looking directly at Gideon. "Silas and I got together naturally. Sure, it was a marriage of convenience at first, but I love him. He didn't steal me away!"
