A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 206

"Silas—" Kelda carefully got to her feet.

"Are you going to come clean, or should I dig up the truth and show you the door?" Silas looked at Kelda with a steady gaze. "I know my wife well enough. She wouldn't do anything to you. It's you who’s giving her a hard time, right?"

"I, I..." Kelda felt a chill down her spine. "I'm sorry, Silas. I messed up!"

"Sorry to me?" Silas questioned, arching an eyebrow.

"No, not to you!" Kelda's eyes darted to Calliope, filled with fear. "Calliope—"

"Hmm?" Silas raised a brow.

"Callie—" Kelda bit her lip, glaring at Calliope, but she didn't dare say another word.

She knew what kind of person Silas was. Even though her brother had sacrificed himself for Silas, earning her his favor, she understood Silas had his principles. Cross him, and she knew he'd not stand by her unconditionally.

From day one with Silas, she knew who he was. To stay in his good graces, she had to play her cards right and not overstep.

"Callie, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have thrown coffee at you or tried to frame you! Can you forgive me?"

Calliope shrugged, mildly surprised at Kelda’s quick admission of guilt.

"You think a simple 'sorry' should suffice?" Silas asked coldly. "Isn't that a bit too easy?"

Kelda's face froze. She peeked at Silas, pouting, and muttered, "Then what should I do?"
