A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel 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!”
