Chapter 135 Yvette glanced around the room , taking in the décor before her eyes landed on the people around .
Gideon had mentioned it would just be a quiet dinner with his parents and grandfather .
But to her surprise , it seemed like the entire Baker family had shown up .
Calliope and Silas were there , which she could handle , but so were many other relatives .
She didnt know them , but Gideon had told her stories about his family three uncles and a few cousins , each with quirks .
None of them sounded easygoing .
She had been excited , thinking shed have Gideons support .
But with so many eyes on her like she was the evenings entertainment , her confidence wavered .
Standing by Gideons side , Yvette felt like a deer caught in headlights .
She dreamed of becoming a wealthy socialite , but her life had been a struggle .
Her entire years budget wouldnt match their daily spending .
When facing the well dressed crowd , her insecurities bubbled to the surface .
She wanted to marry into this world but had no clue how to fit in .
Fleur , Gideons mother , noticed Yvette inching behind her son , trying to blend in .
Her expression was one of pure disdain .
Yvette was not the match shed envisioned for her son .
Fleur had done her homework on this girl .
The thought that Yvette had somehow derailed Gideons potential engagement to Calliope and the accompanying business stakes boiled her blood .
This was all Yvettes fault ! Who did she think she was , trying to latch onto Gideon ? She should take a good look in the mirror .
Fleurs gaze was sharp and cutting , sending a chill down Yvettes spine .
Gideons father didnt seem more welcoming , frowning as he regarded her .
Elsewhere , Calliope sat calmly beside Silas , who was strikingly handsome , exuding superiority even in his relaxed state .
He was leisurely peeling an orange , offering segments to Calliope one by one .
Calliopes gaze was like a cat watching a mouse , filled with amusement and mockery .
The look pierced Yvettes heart .
She bit her lip , her hands clenching in frustration .
Calliope was nothing more than the woman Gideon had left behind .

Gideon chose her , Yvette , over Calliope ! As for Silas , there was no way hed be interested in someone his nephew had discarded .
Calliopes smugness would be short lived .
Once she married Gideon , she vowed to oust Calliope from the Baker familys circle .
Well , so this is the girl Gideons marrying ? Verity piped up , glancing at Calliope first , then turning her attention to Yvette with unmasked curiosity .
What did Gideon see in you ? Why are you hiding behind him like a scared child ? Were not going to bite you .
Whats there to be afraid of ? Youre not as pretty as Callie , nor do you seem to have her charm .
Maybe you come from money , a family that matches the Bakers ? I remember Fleur always saying Callie wasnt good enough for Gideon .
So , you must have something exceptional , a background that outshines Callies ! Otherwise , why would Gideon bring you home ? Veritys tongue was as sharp as ever .
1/2 08:20 Chapter 135 Yvettes fists clenched tighter , her face flushed with anger .
Fleur was equally furious .
Her anger was directed at Yvette .
If not for this womans scheming , Gideon wouldnt have brought her home .
Clearly , she had an agenda dreaming of marrying into wealth and changing her life .
She should really take a good look at herself .
But since she was the one Gideon brought home , Fleur couldnt show her displeasure openly without undermining her son .
