"Gideon, now that you've brought her over, why don't you introduce her to everyone properly?" Fleur said with a
frown, turning to Verity, "Honestly, Verity, | think you're being a bit harsh. When it comes to
marriage, it's all about finding someone you truly love. Things like family background and looks aren't the most
important. It's the character, personality, and love you share that matter."
"Fleur, you weren't singing the stune when it cto Callie, were you? You even said Gideon should find
someone with better credentials, a better family, better looks, higher education...
And now, this girl?. How can you judge her character when you haven't even known her yet? She seems a bit
immature to me, not to mention lacking in manners. She cto the boyfriend's house without bringing a single
gift, and she didn't even bother to say hello. She just hid behind Gideon. Poor guy, he'll have to be both a
husband and a babysitter!
Don't get mad at me, I'm just an aunt who cares about Gideon, that's all."
Fleur's expression darkened instantly.

He grinned slightly as Calliope leaned against him like a content kitten.
She had been quietly accepting Silas's attention, but now she finally looked up lazily and spoke, "Verity, could
you leaveout of this, please?"
Verity was shocked by Calliope's unexpected response.
Silas's gaze turned icy as he looked at Verity.
Verity quickly forced a laugh, "Sorry, Callie, no offense meant. | didn't mean to compare you two. There's really
no comparison."
Then, she turned to Fleur, "Gideon's taste is just like yours, Fleur. Not exactly top-notch."
"Verity, haven't you said enough?" Fleur was fuming, barely holding back from exploding.
Finally, Eamon, who had been silent, interrupted, "Okay, we've got guests today. Do you seriously want to make
a scene and embarrass everyone?"
Verity stuck her tongue out at Eamon., "Sorry, Dad, you know me. | speak my mind with no ill intentions. Just
stating the truth!"
"Ha, you're full of mischief, but you claim to have no ill intentions." Fleur scoffed.
"Con, Fleur, have | ever harmed you? If | had, would you still be sitting here all fine and dandy?" Verity
rolled her eyes.
"Enough," Eamon said, glancing
sternly at them before turning toet
Yvette, Aren't you going to introduce yourself? Didn't your parents teach you to greet the elders?"
Eamon's words almost amused Calliope. She knew he wasn't fond of Yvette either, and was giving her a hard
tto protect Calliopecand settle sscores.
Yvette hadn't expected her visit to the Baker family to start off so rocky. She already felt out of place, looking like
the entire world was against her.
But she mustered up her courage.
She wasn't Mrs. Baker yet, and until then, she had to be compliant. Once she was married, she'd have her place
in the Baker family and
wouldn't have to endure this ver.ne

Yvette stepped forward, trying her best to greet everyone warmly, even addressing the younger ones like
Calista and Dahlia Baker politely.
However, Calista and Dahlia ignored her, turning to chat with Calliope instead.
"Callie, have you played the new gKING released?" Calista asked eagerly, completely disregarding Yvette's
greeting.
Yvette felt humiliated, casting a dark look at Calliope.
