Chapter 323 

The final item for auction was a diamond cross necklace, said to have a unique material and quite a storied background

Gideon sat in the corner, unable to resist glancing at Calliope. What on earth did she want with the cross necklace? Could she be planning to give it to Silas

His eyes narrowed sharply at the thought. It was entirely possible. Silas did have an interest in such things. He would visit a local church to chat with the priest now and then. It seemed like the kind of item Silas would appreciate

Gideon watched Calliope, a strange feeling stirring within him. He had seen how kind Calliope could be to someone she cared about

When she liked someone, she would be wholeheartedly devoted to them. Once upon a time, she had been that way with him. Whatever he wanted, she would prepare for him. She understood his likes better than he did himself

And now, she belonged to Silas. Her devotion was now directed towards him

Thinking of the recent, lessthanpleasant interactions with Yvette, he suddenly yearned for Calliope’s kindness

Yvette always claimed to have his best interests at heart, but her words rarely translated into actions. The more time he spent with her, the more suffocated he felt

Now that she was pregnant, she frequently used the baby to manipulate him. And perhaps due to the pregnancy, her paranoia had escalated

He couldn’t understand her, but every time they argued, she would blame it on the pregnancy hormones, claiming she couldn’t control herself, leaving their issues unresolved

He had truly loved Yvette once and genuinely cared for her. He constantly felt guilty, thinking he was letting her down

But lately, he felt like Yvette was a completely different person. She wasn’t the gentle, compliant Yvette that he remembered; she was constantly causing unnecessary drama

He began to miss Calliope. She wasn’t one for many words, but when she cared for you, she acted without

word

Comparing the two, he suddenly felt Yvette paled in comparison, and Calliope seemed so much better. Moreover, he had just discovered Calliope was far from ordinary

The club was hers. What other secrets was Calliope hiding? How wealthy was she? He hadn’t paid attention before, having a preconceived notion of her, but when thinking back, he found many questionable things

There were times when he needed to meet certain influential people for work. Whenever he vented to Calliope about it, he would meet those people in no time

Sometimes, when a deal was falling through, and he’d drunkenly complain to her, she’d tell him not to worry. Then, the next day, the other party would agree to the deal

Back then, he thought it was just his good luck that things went so smoothly. Thinking carefully, it couldn’t have been that simple. An unseen hand must have been guiding things. And that hand must have been Calliope’s

Gideon felt a pang of regret. He had handed a treasure trove over to Silas

Gideon’s gaze lingered on Calliope, his eyes burning with an indescribable feeling

Calliope sat in the corner with her eyes fixed ahead. Franco leaned in to whisper something to her, and she nodded slightly
