A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 382

She only knew Silas was a child taken in by Eamon.

Calliope shook her head and looked at Eamon.

Eamon pondered, recalling the past. "Silas came into the picture when the Baker family was on the brink of bankruptcy. At that time, his ailing mother approached me, pleading for help. If I took Silas in, she would give me all her money to save the Baker family."

"Silas's mother fell for the wrong man. He was quite heartless, and after using her, he discarded her like an old shoe. She came to me because, despite the Baker family’s struggles, I was the only one willing to help her, the only one who could protect Silas."

"His father wanted him gone. When Silas was little, his father was relentless in hunting him down, thinking he shouldn’t exist."

Eamon sighed deeply. "Silas had a tough start. His mother was somewhat capable, but after having him, she had cancer. Not long after entrusting Silas to me, she passed away."

"Later, I used the money she left to revive the Baker Group. As time went on, Silas grew up. He was quite talented, so I started involving him in the Baker Group."

"Without him and his mother, the Baker family would have gone under long ago. So I entrusted the company to him. I believe the Baker Group is largely his."

"But, as you know, Silas isn’t my only one. He has three brothers. They don’t understand why I handed the Baker Group to Silas, and they’ve opposed him all these years."

Calliope furrowed her brows, still not grasping it. Silas never bothered him. So why all this hostility?

"Silas doesn’t like his father either," Eamon added with a frown. "Perhaps there's a sense of unresolved resentment. Since Silas grew up, he’s often clashed with his biological father, escalating tensions between them. Silas has had it tough."

Calliope nodded, feeling a pang of sympathy for Silas.

Losing his mother at a young age, coming into a foreign environment, and having a father who wished to erase his existence -it must have been hard for him.
