A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 434

She really needed to head out, so she started upstairs to change her clothes.

Gideon and Yvette stood there, clueless about Calliope's intentions. They hadn't heard her say yes, so they refused to leave just yet.

Calliope quickly changed and came back down. Seeing the two still there, she said casually, "If you guys aren't leaving, then I am."

"Callie!" Gideon pleaded earnestly, "Can't you help me out? For old times' sake, when you really liked me? Please? I know Uncle Silas is thinking about changing his successor, but Calista is still young! I'm the most suitable! Please, talk to him!"

Calliope gave Gideon a quick glance. "I actually think Calista is quite suitable."

Gideon's face fell instantly. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm less capable than a high schooler?"

Calliope nodded. "Calista is more qualified to manage the Baker Group. Silas isn't blind-he can see it. If I can see it, surely he can too.
