A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 433

Gideon and Yvette hadn't listened to Calliope's advice, and eventually, they found themselves at the doorstep of Myers Manor.

Calliope allowed them to be shown in. Seated comfortably on the couch, she looked up at Yvette and Gideon as they entered.

Yvette's face was drawn and tired, clearly showing the strain she was under, both physically and emotionally.

"Take a seat," Calliope said in a calm, measured tone.

"Could you get them some coffee?" she instructed one of the staff nearby.

In no time, two steaming cups of coffee were brought over to them.

Calliope herself held a mug of hot coffee, glancing briefly at Yvette and then at Gideon. "So, why are you here? It's not just to apologize, is it?"

If it were only an apology, they wouldn't have gone out of their way to come here. Clearly, there was more to it.

"We did come to apologize," Gideon replied. "Aunt Calliope, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday with Yvette. Whatever punishment you think is fair, just say the word. Punishing her or me makes no difference!"

Gideon continued, "Whatever you decide, we’ll comply."

Calliope smirked slightly. "She’s already faced the punishment, and so have you. Your reputations are already in tatters."

"You… you’re still not satisfied, are you? Whatever it takes to make it right, just say it," Gideon said, taking a deep breath. "We'll do whatever you ask."

"I'm not planning on doing anything more. If that's all you came for, you can leave. I'm quite busy, you know. I've got other matters to attend to."

Hearing this, Gideon quickly interjected, "Calliope, Uncle Silas must be furious too, right? Could you please speak to him for me?"

"Even if I'm not one to hold grudges, I’m certainly not going to help you out."

"But Calliope, we’re begging you here!" Yvette shouted in frustration.

"Just because you’re asking doesn’t mean I have to oblige," Calliope responded with a dry chuckle. "Sorry, I’m not that kind of person."

"Callie, I’m asking you as a favor. You’re not someone who forgets the past," Gideon pleaded, looking at Calliope with expectation.

Calliope shook her head. "Instead of pleading with me, you should be talking to Silas."

She shrugged as she kept on, "The Baker Group’s businesses are not for me to manage."

With that, she stood up. She cast one last glance at Gideon and Yvette and, without another word, turned on her heel and made her way upstairs, leaving them behind.
