Silas turned to Calliope, his voice rising with protective energy. "Who's bothering you? Just say the word, and I'll make sure they regret it for the rest of their lives."

Calliope looked up at him, a little surprised. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Is everyone clear now?" he asked, voice ringing out. "Does anyone here still think my wife scammed the Jewell family?"

He shot a pointed look at the crowd. "What could the Jewell family possibly have that my wife would want to steal? Am I not wealthy enough? Every cent I make, I'd hand over to her in a heartbeat. You really think she'd stoop to swindle the Jewell family for their leftovers?"
