Chapter 63

Lisette thought she had Silas wrapped around her finger. She figured all men were driven by lust, and she had made her intentions clear. She was even ready to give herself to him.

But to her surprise, Silas didn’t budge. He looked at her as if she were nothing more than a piece of overcooked steak.

Her once bold confidence started to fade away.

“What makes you think you’re better than my wife?”

Silas’s deep-set eyes, like a bottomless pit, sent a chill down her spine. He looked at Lisette with an impassive smirk, and there was no hint of desire or interest in his gaze.

Only intense disdain.

“Your face is full of cosmetic tweaks. Do you really think it compares to Callie’s natural beauty? Your skin is so bad you need layers of makeup. Oh, and with hair that thin, how do you plan to ensure your kids won’t be bald? Is your figure really something to brag about? If you can’t compete with her looks, do you think you’re better in other ways? With such a simplistic mind, underestimating others, how do you think you could surpass Callie?”

Silas chuckled. “You can’t even compare to a strand of her hair.”

Lisette had come in brimming with confidence, sure she was no less than Calliope. But she was unprepared for Silas’s brutal attack.

She stared at him in disbelief. “Are… are you serious?”

Silas didn’t bother to answer, simply said coldly, “If you’re here to flaunt yourself, please do it elsewhere. This is not the place for your antics.”

He pressed a button on his intercom and called his secretary.

“Fagan, it seems Ms. Jewell here is desperately seeking male attention. Kindly escort her somewhere she might find it. Her desire should be satisfied somewhere else. And make sure she’s banned from our company. Put up a sign outside.”

Lisette couldn’t believe her ears as she glared at Silas, her anger boiling over.

“Silas, I came here out of a kind heart! Do you even know what kind of person Calliope is? She has no qualifications, no skills. Even her own family doesn’t want her. She’s a discarded woman! You have no idea how much trouble she’s caused. I can fill you in!”

Silas glanced up briefly.

“Oh, then you can go back and tell the Jewell family that the treasure they discarded, I have gladly taken.”

“Ms. Jewell, would you prefer to leave on your own, or shall I have security escort you out?” Fagan asked politely.

Lisette was seething.

“Silas, you’ll regret this! Calliope is a jinx. She’ll only bring you misfortune!”

“You’re wrong. She’s my lucky star. You, on the other hand, are the jinx,” Silas retorted, not even looking up.

Lisette was thrown out of the Baker Group building.

Fagan acted swiftly, ensuring a sign was prominently displayed at the entrance, indicating the company’s stance against women like Lisette who sought attention inappropriately.

The story of Lisette’s failed attempt quickly spread throughout the company.

Everyone at the Baker Group learned about Lisette’s bold move to seduce her sister’s husband and her subsequent ejection from the office, along with the decree that neither she nor unruly pets were welcome back.

The tale soon spread beyond the company and throughout their social circle, and Lisette became the butt of every joke.

Calliope stumbled upon the news while at home, having just accepted a Twitter friend request from someone named Wynton.
