Chapter 258

“Did you get the photo?” Uriah leaned over to look. “The address was sent too, and this was sent at noon. You didn’t go to check it out?” His face was full of disbelief.

“Do you think he would fall for someone like Yara?” Calliope replied casually. “I thought someone was playing a prank on me.”

Uriah was speechless. “The photo’s so suggestive, and you didn’t feel a twinge of jealousy?”

“Is it necessary?”

“Not entirely,” Uriah clapped. “You’re impressively calm.”

Calliope stood up. “Thanks for letting me know. I’ll check it out.”

Uriah got up too. “I’ll come with you lest she gives you a hard time. Maybe I can help!”

Calliope glanced at Uriah. “You seem pretty excited. Are you just in it for the drama?”

“Did you catch that?” Uriah chuckled. “Nothing much is going on, and it’s not every day you get to see Silas in a tight spot.”

Calliope didn’t object to Uriah tagging along. She headed out, and Uriah, along with a couple of bodyguards, drove with her to Yara’s place.

Yara’s villa was in the suburbs.

When Calliope arrived, a large iron gate blocked her way. The gate swung open as she was about to call the number that had sent the message.

Calliope walked in. Uriah and the bodyguards followed her lead.

Just as they stepped into the garden, Calliope halted.

“What’s up?” Uriah stopped as well.

“There’s a hidden path, like a puzzle,” Calliope calmly observed. The garden had several paths, and choosing the wrong one might trigger traps.

She picked a path after a quick look and signaled for Uriah and the others to follow her. They soon made it through the garden.

Once inside, an arrow suddenly shot toward Calliope, who effortlessly sidestepped it.

She glanced up toward the arrow’s direction and saw a woman standing on the balcony, holding a crossbow.

The woman smirked at her. She had voluminous curls, fiery red lips, and a matching dress. She looked incredibly striking.

Calliope recognized her. It was Yara. In the elite circles of Capitalton, she was quite famous. Any woman close to Silas would be intriguing.

Yara had a brother named Maddox Xander, who was Silas’ good friend. After Maddox’s death, Yara took over his ventures, transforming from an inexperienced heiress to a formidable figure.

Calliope had heard stories about her and knew a bit about her background. It was no secret that she had a thing for Silas.

After Maddox passed, Silas offered her much support. His involvement in her growth was significant. Her feelings for Silas weren’t surprising. It was hard for a woman to resist a man who had always protected her, helped her grow, and whom she admired and respected.

“Yara,” Uriah called from beside Calliope, looking up.

Yara smirked again before disappearing inside.

After a moment, Yara appeared before them. Her features were strikingly fierce, her makeup bold, and her figure perfect. Even Calliope had to admit, she was captivating.
