Chapter 26 But you didnt marry her .
Eamon glanced up , coughing a bit .
Then those shares arent yours ! They were meant for Callie .
If you dont want her , then Ill just give them to her directly ! But why her ? Im your grandson ! Gideon fumed .
Gideon , Callie saved my life .
Without her , I wouldnt be here .
Those shares are my way of thanking her , Eamon said , calmly and deliberately , You didnt want to treat Callie right , and now shes moved on .
You reap what you sow , so dont blame anyone else .
Alright , enough of that .
Eamon waved a hand dismissively .
His tone softened as he turned to Calliope .
Callie dear , wheres Silas ? Why isnt he here yet ? Just as Calliope was about to speak , Silas strolled in from outside .
His presence was commanding , effortlessly drawing attention .
Without so much as a glance at anyone else in the room , he went straight to Calliope .
Are you settling in okay ? No ones giving you a hard time , right ? Calliope looked up at him and smiled , free from the timidity she once showed around Gideon .
No , not at all .
Gideon watched her closely .
There was something different about her .
She hadnt changed in appearance , yet she looked more beautiful than ever .
No longer meek , no longer seeking his approval , she seemed to shine in a way he had never noticed before .
Seeing Silass gentle demeanor , Gideon was reminded of his own impatience with Calliope in the past .
A strange discomfort settled in his chest .
Why did his uncle have to treat her so well ? Was it to rub salt in his wounds ? Silas whispered a few words to Calliope , bringing a bright smile to her face .
Then , he looked up at Gideon .
What are you staring at ? Got something written on my face ? Gideon wore a scowl .
No.
He didnt dare say much else .
Just one look from Silas sent shivers down his spine .
Although Silas wasnt a Baker by blood , he held a top position in the family .
Even Gideons father was wary of him .
Gideon was mad that Calliope had chosen Silas .
He was even madder that he couldnt measure up to Silas .
How could Calliope not marry him and go for a man who outshone him in every way ? Stop staring at my wife , Silas warned , a hint of menace in his voice .
Reaching into his pocket , he pulled out a small box and handed it to Calliope .
Picked this up earlier ; thought youd like it .
What is it ? Calliope looked at the box , her eyes wide with surprise .
Open it and see .
Inside the box lay a dazzling emerald necklace .
Even at a glance , it was clear the piece was worth a fortune .
Isnt that the Emerald Dream ? Its worth millions , isnt it , Uncle ? Dahlia exclaimed , eyes wide at the sight of the necklace .
Silas simply nodded before taking out the necklace and fastening it around Calliopes neck himself .
She happened to be wearing a dress that matched the necklace perfectly .
The jewelry accentuated her beauty making her look like a rose kissed by morning dew .

Wow , its stunning ! Uncle treats Auntie so well … When she was with Gideon , I dont think he ever gave her anything this lavish .
Not even close , Calista scoffed .
His gifts barely hit three figures .
