A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 705

Blythe’s gaze was sharp and heavy as she stared at Calliope. She couldn’t believe how crude this woman was, the way she spoke so bluntly, with not a hint of manners.

Blythe had expected Calliope to back off the moment she saw her. After all, Blythe was the one Silas was supposed to be with. Who did Calliope think she was, anyway? Rumor had it she came with no real skills or pedigree. She was hardly a match for Silas.

Besides, Mr. Myers had already promised Blythe she’d marry Silas. Where did that leave Calliope? Her marriage to Silas had always felt like an accident, a patch job for the Baker family’s scandal, not because Silas ever really loved her. Really, it was all about keeping the Baker family name clean, nothing more.

Blythe watched Calliope for a long moment before speaking, her tone serious. “Ms. Jewell, if you’re willing to walk away from Silas, I promise you’ll be well taken care of. I’ve heard things are pretty rough between you and your family. If we help you, the entire Jewell estate could be yours. Everyone in your family would have to listen to you.”

“And that’s not all. We’ll make sure you have more money than you could ever spend in a lifetime.”

Calliope couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

“Do I look broke to you? You think I’m that naïve? You think you can offer me what Silas has? The money he’s already made and all that he’ll make in the future? Can any of you match that? So why on earth would I leave him?”

She arched an eyebrow at Blythe. “You really thought you had it all figured out, didn’t you?”

Blythe bristled, her lips pursing in frustration. She hadn’t expected Calliope to see through everything so easily. This woman was clearly not simple.

Usually, women from humble backgrounds could be bought off easily—wave enough cash in front of them, and they’d be gone in a heartbeat.

But this one? She was smart. She knew Silas was not just wealthy, but capable in a way few men were.
