Chapter 55 Yeah , I was just kidding around .
You were so tense just now , I almost believed youd actually cleaned out the company ! Calliope chuckled lightly .
So , whats it gonna be ? Dont agree ? Fine , Ill head out then .
Just as she was about to stand up , Monty made a decision and said , Alright , Ill give it to you ! Then send the money over , Calliope said , looking up .

Are you really that eager ? Monty asked , clearly indignant .
Im just worried youll back out , Calliope shrugged .
This is for my emotional distress , and right now youre willing to pay .
Who knows , you might change your mind later ! Monty pulled out his phone , ready to transfer the money to Calliope .
Zelda grabbed Montys arm , glancing at Calliope with hesitation .
She wasnt too keen on handing over the money to Calliope .
With a bit of suspicion , Zelda asked , If we give you this money , will you really stay with Gideon ? Zelda , are you trying to sell your daughter ? Calliope raised her eyebrows .
If you dont want to give it , thats fine .
Ill leave , hows that ? She made a move to get up .
Monty panicked .
Okay , Im transferring it now ! With a few quick taps , Monty sent the money to Calliope , looking as if it physically hurt him .
Lisette , standing nearby , couldnt help but feel a pang of regret herself .
Five hundred thousand dollars wasnt exactly pocket change to her , and certainly not to the Jewell family .
Calliope had managed to get it with just a few choice words , and Lisette was nearly fuming .
But she couldnt stop Monty or the others .
Being the obedient daughter she was , she couldnt defy them .
Alright , the moneys in your account .
Can you at least have a proper talk with Gideon now? Monty asked , You- should be satisfied .
Youve made a killing , so go explain things to Eamon Baker and start living a decent life .
Calliope glanced at Gideon .
Lets have a private chat , shall we ? Gideons eyes lit up with a flicker of hope .
Finally , she was willing to talk to him alone .
Maybe there was still a chance .
didnt let his excitement show, though , and just nodded at Calliope .
He was convinced Calliope still loved him .
As for her and his uncle , that was probably just a charade for Silas , a way to repay some kind of debt to her .
Gideon looked at Calliope , feeling shed always been easy to handle .
Soon enough , shed probably apologize to him .
She always did that .
After her anger subsided , shed start feeling guilty and find ways to make it up to him .
The truth was , she couldnt live without him , Gideon thought .
As for him , whether it was her or another woman , it didnt really matter much .
Of course , Gideon kept all this to himself .
The shares of the Baker Group were worth far more than one million , and it was about more than just the cash .
So , he needed to secure those shares first .
Help me carry these things to the car , Calliope said to Gideon .
Gideon obediently picked up the bags of food ..
Chapter 59 Seeing Calliope willing to spend time alone with Gideon , Zelda and the others felt hopeful and didnt say much more .
Calliope left the room satisfied .
As she reached the door , she turned back to Monty and said , Monty , dont forget to settle the bill ! Monty was speechless .
Outside , Calliope made a quick call , and soon Damien pulled up in the car .
Maam , Damien greeted Calliope respectfully as he stepped out , and then nodded to Gideon .
Mr.
Baker .
