NovelReadingChapter 217 "Yvette, you little sneak! How could you keep your wedding a secret from me? | heard you're
marrying into the wealthy Baker family of Capitalton. What, are you scared I'd ask you for money, so you decided
to keepin the dark?"
Trevor Langley burst in, grabbing a fistful of Yvette's hair as he shouted.
Yvette's head jerked back, and she let out a shriek of pain. Tears sprang to her eyes. "Dad, that hurts! Dad... no, |
wasn't trying to hide it from you! I just hadn't gotten around to telling you yet!"
"Hadn't gotten around to it? What nonsense! You just think I'm an embarrassment! You invited everyone else but
leftout! What do you takefor?
You are my damn child, remember that! Without me, you'd be nothing! | heard you gave your mom's side some
money, but nothing for me? What, is she your real parent and I'm not?"
Yvette's eyes were red with pain, and she cried out, "I'll give you the money, just please let go! You're going to
rip my scalp off!"
Calliope watched, feeling her own scalp tingle in sympathy. Yvette's father was a real piece of work. But she

tragedy.
Trevor finally released Yvette's hair, pull over a chair and plopped into it, picking up a toothpick to idly clean his
teeth.
Fleur was speechless, her expression one of shock. What kind of family was Yvette from?
"Trevor, what are you doing here causing trouble? This is Yvette's big day, and you're just making a mess!"
Verena shouted.
Trevor sneered at her. "Why shouldn't | be involved in my daughter's affairs? And don't think | don't know about
you pocketing her money! We haven't settled that score yet!"
Eamon put a hand to his forehead, clearly taken aback by the family. He glanced over at Calliope for help.
Receiving his plea, Calliope rapped her knuckles on the table, drawing all eyes to her.
"Letsay a few words."
"And who are you? Where are your manners? You think you have a right to speak here?" Trevor snapped.
"Me? I'm your future son-in-law's
uncle's wife, the matriarch of the Baker family, and the wife of the
Baker Group's CEO," Calliope introduced herself casually. "In other will be
words, your future son-in-lather
working under my husband's
leadership.
Do | have the right to speak now? Even Fleur wouldn't dare speak tolike that. Do you have a problem with
me?"
Her words were calm but carried an undeniable authority.
Trevor and the others were
momentarily stunned. They quickly did the mental math of what her position meant, and, realizing her
connection to Silas, wisely decided not to cross her. en
"You all asked for an eight million dollar wedding gift, and | don't see a problem with that," Calliope continued.
"Calliope!" Fleur objected immediately, shooting her a glare, thinking she was stirring the pot.
Gideon also frowned as he glanced at Calliope, unsure of where she was going with this.

matriarch, so understanding and generous!"
"Well, it is indeed not much. For an
opulent family like the Bakers, a wedding gift of ten million isn't unreasonable," Calliope curled her lips into a
smile. "But usually, in a high society match, whatever the groom's family gives, the bride's family matches with
the samount in a bridal gift."
