Calliope was Zelda's daughter, but she was also the person Zelda despised the most.
"I've never heard a mother talk about her daughter like that." Silas's eyes grew even colder as he quietly clasped
Calliope's hand in his large, warm one, gently rubbing it to comfort her.
At first, Calliope didn't feel much. But Silas's comforting gesture suddenly made her throat tighten with emotion.
She always thought she was strong, but now she found herself on the verge of tears.
People often becespecially vulnerable in front of those they care about.
She hadn't felt particularly wronged before, but now, inexplicably, she felt overwhelmed by it.
"Zelda, don't worry about my reputation. | couldn't care less about it. But you all better keep to yourselves.
If you cafter my wife again, the Jewell Group might as well prepare for bankruptcy."

Silas had an air of a protective husband. He couldn't bear to see his Callie suffer even the slightest injustice.
Zelda's face darkened, disbelief etched across her features.
Silas was defending Calliope. Didn't he realize what kind of person she was? She was unworthy of him. "Mr.
Myers, Callie might be my sister, but she isn't a good fit for you. We're just trying to look out for you," Valerian
interrupted. "You can check her past for yourself. She's been trouble since she was a kid. She's made countless
mistakes..."
Silas cut Valerian off before Valerian could continue.
"Like saving your life, you mean?" Silas chuckled softly, "Valerian, are you saying my wife shouldn't have saved
you? Was that a mistake? Should you have gone to meet your maker? Maybe you ought to return that life she
saved."
Valerian's face alternated between red and black in embarrassment.
Zelda looked at Valerian, confused. "What does he mean?"
"We don't welcyou here, so please leave!" Rafferty stepped forward, noticing Calliope didn't want to engage
with them further.
"You all will regret this!" Zelda
fumed, glaring at everyone. "You're all defending her, but eventually,
you'll see. She has no education or skills. She's a walking disaster.
en
Mr. Myers, I'm warning you out of kindness. If she wasn't so malicious, do you think a mother would speak of her
daughter this way?"
"That's because you're not fit to be Callie's mother." Silas's voice was icy.
"Mr. Myers, you must be out of your mind." Valerian sneered, "One day, you'll realize we were correct." "Are you
still here?" the bald guy grabbed a broom to shoo them away.
Valerian and Zelda left, their faces flushed with anger.

When Zelda returned hin disarray, Lisette had regained her composure. She sat on the couch her hands on
her face, feeling frantic She remembered every foolish thing she had done. She was seething with anger.
It must have been that wretch, Calliope.
"Mom, what happened to you?" Lisette looked up, startled to see Zelda with her hair a mess, covered in
something sticky.
"That useless brat!" Zelda shouted in frustration.
"It was Callie," Valerian muttered, looking grim.
"Callie? Callie dumped that stuff on you, Mom? How could she do that to her own mother?
Mom, it's all my fault. Callie must
not like me, so she did this. It's one thing for her to cafter me, but
to treat you this way givable."
