Chapter 108
"Make sure your boss doesn't forget the favor!"
"I know, | know," Wade nodded eagerly, glancing over at Calliope. He hadn't noticed before, but now he saw she
was injured too.
"Ms. Jewell, how bad is it? Should | get one of the doctors here to take a look? Don't worry. We'll take care of your
injuries.
Once my boss wakes up, he'll definitely be grateful for you saving his life. You can ask for anything then," Wade
said sincerely.
He knew Calliope had saved Nigel's life. Despite Nigel's reputation as a ruthless man, he always lived by his own
code: repay kindness with kindness, and vengeance with vengeance.

Calliope nodded. She was about to leave with Portia when Nigel suddenly stirred awake.
"Mr. Howell!" Wade rushed to his side, excitement in his voice. "You're awake! How are you feeling?" Nigel's eyes
found Calliope.
"You saved me?" Nigel remembered a woman approaching him as he was about to pass out.
While everyone else had stood by, she had walked toward the burning wreck of a car, towards him, fighting for
his life.
Regardless of her motives, whether she had a purpose or simply wanted to help, he was grateful. Wade adjusted
Nigel's bed so he could sit up more comfortably and look at Calliope. He noticed her bandaged hand, the thick
shawl draped over her shoulders hiding any other injuries.
Wade leaned down and whispered something in Nigel's ear.
"You saved my life and got hurt in the process. | owe you one. Nyour request," Nigel said. "There is
something | need help with, Mr. Howell," Calliope replied. "Could you helpfind a few people?"
"Find a few people?" Nigel looked surprised. "I thought you'd ask for money or maybe propose marriage." "Mr.
Howell, you're overthinking it. I'm married.
And as for money, | don't seem to need it. I'm just intrigued by the intelligence network you have at your
disposal. | figure if | can't find something, you probably can," Calliope said with a smile. "Can you do that?"
"Of course," Nigel said, his interest piqued as he studied Calliope.
Wade leaned in again, whispering a few more words to Nigel.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside.

"My wife's in there," a voice called out, followed by the sounds of a scuffle at the door.
Then the door swung open.
Silas strode in, his eyes quickly assessing Nigel before he reached for Calliope's hand.
Nigel watched with amusement. "Mr. Myers, what's the rush? Afraid your wife might run off with me?" Calliope
got caught off guard.
"You're overthinking it. I've missed my wife," Silas said, putting an arm around Calliope's waist possessively. "My
wife isn't interested in you, right, darling?"
Calliope nodded obediently, feeling a bit intimidated.
"Oh? Is that so?" Nigel said, intrigued as he looked between Silas and Calliope. "So, my savior is your wife. Ms.
Jewell, you just beceven more interesting."
