It was as if the crowd parted for him naturally , sensing his commanding presence that demanded respect .

The chatter among the guests ceased almost instantly , leaving a silence that seemed to amplify his every step as he made his way toward Calliope .
When he reached her , he offered a tender smile .
Dont worry , honey .
Im here .
When Calliope saw Silas , all her bottled up emotions threatened to spill over .
Her eyes welled up , and she felt a lump in her throat .
Silas gently tousled her hair , leaning in close to whisper , Dont be afraid .
If they dont want you , I do .
Ill take care of you and give you everything you need .
His voice was soft and reassuring , enough to melt anyones heart .
He took Calliopes hand , turned to Zelda , and said , Give me your account number .
Zelda glared at Silas , her jaw clenched tight in anger .
She venomously glanced at Calliope before begrudgingly rattling off her bank account number .
Silas nodded to Fagan , who had accompanied him .
Transfer one million , he instructed .
Fagan promptly arranged the transfer .
Mrs.
Jewell , the moneys been sent .
Please sign the agreement , he said .
Lets not have any regrets later , coming back to ask for Mrs.
Myers .
We wont need to ask for her back ! Zelda snapped , snatching the agreement and signing it with a flourish .
Fagan continued , Mr.
Monty , Mr.
Horatio , Mr.
Valerian , Mr.
Ulysses , please sign as well .
Mrs.
Myers will have nothing more to do with you all from now on .
This agreement is in duplicate .
One copy for you , one for Mrs.
Myers .
Monty frowned deeply , glancing at Silas before letting out a resigned sigh .
He signed the document , followed by a hesitant Horatio and a somewhat eager Valerian and Ulysses .
Once everyone had signed , Silas collected their copy of the agreement .
He gave the Jewell family a steely look .
From now on , leave my wife alone .
Shes no longer your concern .
Dont think of asking her back .
She doesnt need you .
With that , Silas led Calliope away .
Lets get going , Uriah called to Mavis , who quickly followed suit .
Portia and Archie also hurried after them .
At the door , Silas paused , turning back to address everyone present .
From this day forward , I wont do business with anyone associated with the Jewell family .
After making his declaration , he turned and left .
The room was momentarily stunned into silence .
What did Mr.
Myers mean by that ? someone finally asked .
Its pretty clear that hes protecting his wife ! Better get out while you can if you want to work with the Baker Group .
Dont get dragged down with the Jewell family ! Several attendees exchanged looks , weighing their options .
Realizing that crossing Silas could be costly, many decided to discreetly leave , some offering polite excuses , others slipping out without a word .
Before long , the ballroom was half empty .
The remaining guests had no ties to the Baker Group or were close 21:53 Chapter friends of the Jewell family .
Montys face darkened with rage as he turned on Zelda .
Are you out of your mind ? You think a million is enough to live on for the rest of your life ?
