She knew Silas was a busy man , and there was no need for him to waste time on her matters .
She could explain things to Gideon herself .
Silas gave her a slight nod .
Ill have Damien come pick you up , he said , giving her the respect she deserved .
After Calliope got out , the car drove off .
She now stood face to face with Gideon , who watched Silass car disappear , disbelief written all over his face .
His uncle explained nothing , as usual .
Gideon turned to her , inhaling sharply , his eyes filled with anger and disbelief .
Calliope , you must be joking , right ? Is it because I wasnt around that Grandpa had Uncle take my place at the wedding ? Calliope looked at him calmly .
Are you just worried about losing your shares ? Im serious , Calliope .
You better explain whats going on .
You know Im getting upset , Gideon said , a hint of desperation in his eyes .
Of course , he was .
Without this marriage , the shares Grandpa promised would slip right through his fingers .
And on top of that , seeing Silas with Calliope made him uneasy .
Calliope was supposed to be his .
She had always chased after him .
Yet now , she was by Silass side without hesitation .
What was that all about ? Are you trying to intimidate me ? Do you think I care if youre upset ? Calliope chuckled lightly .
Even if you were furious , it wouldnt concern me .
I know youre just talking nonsense , Gideon frowned .
Tell me the truth , this whole marriage certificate thing is fake , right ? Youve always wanted to marry me .
If thats the case , I have time today .
Lets go get the certificate , then we can have dinner at the family house .
He reached for her hand , only for her to yank it away .
Gideon , Im warning you .
Dont try anything foolish .
Im your aunt now , she said coldly .
Forget about those shares .
I begged Grandpa to let me marry you , thats why he made that promise .
But Ive realized something- I dont love you .
Im not interested anymore .
Im happy with Silas .
She stepped forward slightly , her voice unwavering .
The wedding already happened .
The marriage certificate is real .
So from now on , show some respect .
Im your elder now .
If nothing else , respect your uncles wife .
You know your uncles temper isnt great .
Do you really think hed tolerate this behavior ? Gideons expression hardened with disbelief .
No way , Calliope .
Youre lying ! You love me .
How could you choose my uncle over me ? Youre just upset because of Yvette , arent you ? Every time its about Yvette , you throw a tantrum , Gideon said , stepping forward and trying to pull Calliope in for a kiss .
Just then , Damien pulled up in a Porsche , catching the scene as he got out .
Startled , he took a step forward , ready to rush over and protect Calliope .
But before he could act , he watched in surprise as Calliope swiftly slapped Gideons hand away .
In one fluid motion , she grabbed his arm and flipped him effortlessly over her shoulder .
Gideon , completely unprepared , hit the ground with a thud .
1/2 15:56 Chapter Calliope dusted off her hands , looking down at Gideon with a calm demeanor .
She steadied her breath and said coolly , Kid , stop fooling around .
This isnt a game .
Also , your grandpa said theres a family dinner tonight .
Dont forget to show up .
