A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 179

Silas strolled into the room, looking every bit the part in his impeccably tailored suit. It was as if the crowd parted for him naturally, sensing his commanding presence that demanded respect.

The chatter among the guests ceased almost instantly, leaving a silence that seemed to amplify his every step as he made his way toward Calliope. When he reached her, he offered a tender smile. "Don’t worry, honey. I’m here."

When Calliope saw Silas, all her bottled-up emotions threatened to spill over. Her eyes welled up, and she felt a lump in her throat.

Silas gently tousled her hair, leaning in close to whisper, "Don’t be afraid. If they don’t want you, I do. I’ll take care of you and give you everything you need."

His voice was soft and reassuring, enough to melt anyone’s heart. He took Calliope’s hand, turned to Zelda, and said, "Give me your account number."

Zelda glared at Silas, her jaw clenched tight in anger. She venomously glanced at Calliope before begrudgingly rattling off her bank account number.

Silas nodded to Fagan, who had accompanied him.

"Transfer one million," he instructed.

Fagan promptly arranged the transfer.

"Mrs. Jewell, the money’s been sent. Please sign the agreement," he said. "Let’s not have any regrets later, coming back to ask for Mrs. Myers."

"We won’t need to ask for her back!" Zelda snapped, snatching the agreement and signing it with a flourish.

Fagan continued, "Mr. Monty, Mr. Horatio, Mr. Valerian, Mr. Ulysses, please sign as well. Mrs. Myers will have nothing more to do with you all from now on.

This agreement is in duplicate. One copy for you, one for Mrs. Myers."
