MainNovel"Do you think I'm skind of doormat? Should I just sit back and take the abuse?"
"You-" Gideon was at a loss for words.
Gabriel suddenly lashed out, kicking Gideon hard. "Useless idiot!"
Gideon hit the ground, disbelief etched across his face.
"Uncle!" Struggling to his feet, Gideon protested, "Whatever you say, you're still my uncle. How can you treat us
like this?"
"Why shouldn't I? You got yourselves into this mess by crossing the wrong people, forcingto betray my own
savior. She's more important tothan you are!"
After hurling a few more insults, Gabriel turned to Calliope. After a moment of hesitation, he pulled out a bank
card.
"There's three million on this card. It's compensation for you."

"Only three million?" Calliope glanced at Gabriel with a raised eyebrow. "Surely you're not that broke?"
"I, uh... I'm really strapped for cash. My company isn't fully on track yet." Gabriel swallowed hard. "I'll transfer
more to you regularly, | promise!"
"Alright, but make sure to sendhalf of it every month."
"What?" Gabriel looked at Calliope, eyes wide with disbelief.
"Is that a problem?" Calliope's expression turned surprised. "Otherwise, maybe you shouldn't run your company
at all!"
"No, no, it's fine! Of course, it's fine. Half is too little, I'll give you sixty percent of whatever | make! I'll even share
my company's stock with you! How about you con board as the vice president? With your skills, our
company would definitely flourish!"
Gabriel was genuinely scared of Calliope, and he remembered that she had once saved him.
But most importantly, he knew her status was far from ordinary. She was someone he couldn't afford to cross. On
the contrary, with Calliope's backing, he was certain he could make a fortune.
Gabriel was a smart man. He realized his mistake and was willing to pay Calliope back.
Calliope, seeing Gabriel's eagerness to make amends, wasn't as angry anymore. She turned her attention to
Gideon and Fleur.
"And what about them? What are you planning to do?"
"Whatever you say, I'll do. I'm willing to turn against them for justice!" Gabriel declared.
"What if | don't say anything? How would you handle it on your own?" Calliope asked.
"I'll sever ties with them. Whatever they ask ofin the future, | won't do it! And this guy? He's screwed up
enough. I'll break his leg right now!"
Without waiting for Calliope's approval, Gabriel swiftly kicked Gideon's leg, breaking it.

Gideon, completely caught off guard, was overtaken by a surge of excruciating pain. His screams pierced the air
as he collapsed onto
the ground, the agony searing
through him.
"Calliope, how can you be so ruthless?" Gideon supported himself with his hands,
unable to stand, sweat pouring down his face from the pain.
"It wasn'twho kicked you, was it? How am | ruthless?"
"Wasn't it you who wanted to kidnap me?"
"I'm just sitting here, waiting for you to try," Calliope replied with a slight smile. She grabbed a bag of popcorn
from the table, helping herself to a handful.
Glancing at Gabriel, she remarked, "Your uncle seems to know what's what, Gideon. With so many paths to
choose from, why did you insist on taking the most treacherous one?"
