Fleur and Gideon wore expressions of utter disbelief.
Monty and others couldn't believe their eyes as they stared at the necklace around Calliope's neck.
Who would have thought Silas would be so extravagant? Could it be that she and Silas were actually serious?
They'd heard rumors that the two had gotten a marriage license and that Calliope had moved into the Myers Manor, but would Silas really be serious about Calliope?
A man like Silas could have any woman he wanted, after all. What on earth could Calliope possibly offer him?
Lisette looked as if she'd swallowed something foul, struggling to comprehend that Silas would actually gift such a necklace to Calliope.
How could Silas possibly like Calliope? She didn't exactly have the best reputation, which the Baker family was well aware of, especially since Lisette herself had helped spread some of those rumors. So naturally, Fleur didn’t like Calliope either.
But Silas gifting her something so valuable? It was mind-boggling.
Had Silas lost his mind? Or did Calliope have some kind of leverage over him?
Otherwise, why would he marry her and shower her with such gifts?
No, this couldn’t be from Silas.
Lisette quickly settled on what seemed to be the most logical explanation.
"Calliope, even if Mr. Myers did give you these things, flaunting them like this isn't appropriate. What if you get robbed parading around like that?
And can you really threaten Mr. Myers? Do you think you’re worthy of him? If anyone deserves him, it’s Lisette!"
Calliope found Zelda's words amusing. "Do you think it's up to you to decide who Silas likes? How about I give him a call, and you can tell him yourself that Lisette is a better match, and he should divorce me immediately?"
Seeing Calliope actually reaching for her phone, Zelda panicked.
"I didn't mean it like that! Calliope, I don't know what's really going on between you and Silas, but I doubt he truly intends to marry you. Don’t get your hopes up."
