Chapter 207

“Yeah, Mr. Myers values his wife,” Fagan remarked, glancing at Kelda. Despite her feisty nature, Kelda was straightforward and generally kind-hearted.

So, Fagan offered a bit of advice. “Miss Kelda, what you did earlier was right. When you make a mistake, own up to it immediately and apologize. Mr. Myers won’t be too upset. But you know what he is like if you refuse to apologize!”

“And, Miss Kelda, forgive me for saying this, but Mr. Myers genuinely cares about his wife. So, you should be more considerate. If Mrs. Myers likes you, Mr. Myers will too. If you upset Mrs. Myers, who knows what Mr. Myers might do.”

Kelda furrowed her brow, looking at Fagan. “Silas is that fond of Calliope? What’s so special about her? Even the people from her family dislike her. Why would Silas love her?”

“Mr. Myers has never been wrong about these things,” Fagan replied.

“But…” Kelda bit her lip. “Does he love Calliope that much?”

“Yes. Mr. Myers has entrusted all his properties and money to his wife. If she wanted, he’d probably hand over his entire company to her.”

Fagan’s expression was earnest, though he found the whole situation astonishing.

However, he did think Mrs. Myers was admirable. Even after being given control over everything, she hadn’t touched it. She didn’t even spend his boss’s money.

To Fagan, it showed she wasn’t greedy. But in Mr. Myers’ eyes, her refusal to spend his money meant he was earning for no one, which made him unhappy.

“What did you say?” Kelda was even more shocked.

Plenty of women fancied Silas, and many dreamed of marrying him. Some were into his looks, others into his abilities. And, of course, many were interested in his wealth–he was the richest man in Capitalton. With that kind of money, whoever married him could live a life of luxury.

But everyone assumed that someone of Silas’ stature would never hand over his wealth to his wife. Even his pocket money and living expenses would be more than enough for anyone.

Yet, she never imagined Silas would actually give everything to one woman. And that woman was Calliope, whose reputation wasn’t stellar and had plenty of critics. Plus, she was from the Jewell family, who weren’t particularly fond of her.

Why her?

“Has Silas lost his mind? Did this woman cast a spell on him?” Kelda fumed.

“I doubt it,” Fagan said. “Mr. Myers seems clear-headed. He’s liked her for long.”

“For long? That can’t be right. Calliope used to date Gideon. So, Silas liked her while she was with Gideon, huh? That’s absurd–liking his nephew’s girlfriend?” Kelda found it even more far-fetched.

Fagan didn’t say anything more, because that was the truth.

As for why Mr. Myers was so invested in Calliope, why he liked her, that wasn’t something Fagan knew. And he wouldn’t ask. As an assistant, he didn’t need to know everything.

“Anyway, be sure not to upset Mrs. Myers.”

After that, Fagan turned and left.
