Chapter 363 

His face was strikingly handsome, and there was a devilish smirk playing on his lips

Well, well, well, if it isn’t my lifesaver! Long time no see!” 

Nigel Howell made his way over to Calliope’s side. Heard you were dining here, so I just had to drop by and say hello!” 

Calliope just blinked at him

Nigel pulled out the chair next to her, crossing his long legs casually, and raised his wine glass in Monty’s direction

Hey there, are the Jewell family folks giving my lifesaver a hard time again? What’s the deal? Do you think my lifesaver looks like an easy target? How exactly are you planning to mess with her, huh?” 

Nigel’s presence was so commanding that the entire private dining room seemed to shrink a little under his 

gaze

With just a few words, he had Monty and his group looking a little pale

Monty quickly plastered on a smile and said, Mr. Howell, you must be joking. Callie is my daughter. Why would we ever bully her? We’re here because she wanted to dine at this club.” 

Nigel’s gaze settled on Calliope. My lifesaver wants to eat here, and she needs you to bring her? I doubt that.” 

Monty was momentarily taken aback

If 

my lifesaver wants to dine here, she only needs to give me a call! Besides, doesn’t she have a husband who frequents this club? Come to think of it, my lifesaver seems to have some pretty deep connections here too!” 

Nigel’s eyes sparkled with amusement as he looked at Calliope. He was clearly enjoying himself

His words left Monty at a loss for what to say

Horatio, standing to the side, chimed in, Mr. Howell, this is just a family matter. No need for you to trouble yourself. We’re just having dinner. I’ll make sure to toast you later!” 

Nigel narrowed his eyes, that smirk still on his face. And who do you think you are, offering me a toast? Don’t tell me you’re trying to cozy up to me? Looking to ride on my coattails, are we?” 

Horatio was left speechless. This guy had a sharp tongue that made any conversation tough to navigate

Just then, Zelda and Valerian returned. Zelda seemed calmer now but her expression shifted when she saw Nigel. She wasn’t sure who Nigel was here for, but knowing his reputation, she greeted him warmly

Mr. Howell, what brings you to our little gathering?” 

Nigel replied, Certainly not here to see you, old witch.” 

Zelda’s face turned pale

Is there something you need, Mr. Howell?Valerian asked as he took a seat, glancing from Monty to Nigel

Just saying hello to my lifesaver.Nigel reached over and playfully ruffled Calliope’s hair, leaving it a mess

He chuckled, Look at that, now you’re a little scruffy pup! How adorable! My lifesaver, through and through!” 

Calliope shot Nigel a glare. What’s your problem? Hands off!” 

I didn’t touch anything I shouldn’t have, so why the fuss?Nigel said with a mockpout, his gaze dropping playfully

Calliope gave him a fierce look

So fierce and adorable,Nigel teased with a grin. If Silas ever lets you go, give me a call. I’ll marry you myself!” 

 

Calliope rolled her eyes

I should head out. But remember, if anyone gives you trouble, come find me, okay, my dear lifesaver?”
