A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

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 his intention to ask Silas for guidance on choosing a college major.

"What made you think of asking your uncle?" Calliope inquired.

"I decided on my own," Calista replied. His face, handsome in a youthful way, usually reflected the playful demeanor of a high school senior. But when it came to discussing his future, he was all seriousness.

"Uncle Silas is the most capable person in our family. If he's willing, I'm sure he'll give me great advice. My parents aren't really clued in on this stuff, and I'm pretty clueless myself when it comes to picking the right major. But Uncle Silas has the savvy. He can help me chart a course and choose the major that suits me best. So, I want to ask him."

Calliope nodded, "You should definitely ask him."

If Silas wasn't going to choose Gideon to inherit the Baker Group, then surely another successor would be chosen from the family. And at that moment, she saw potential in Calista. He was sharp, sharper than she'd initially thought. She suspected he might also want to make an impression on Silas.
