James' voice carried a hint of mockery, "There are more than a dozen women in Devonport who dream of becoming my wife. The Devins family doesn't even come close to qualifying. What makes you think you can be of any help to me?"
"I..." Calla had never anticipated being ridiculed by James, and her face flushed with shame and anger.
Indeed, the Devins family was modest. And every distinguished lady in Devonport longed to enter the Burke family and become Mrs. Burke. Why would she be any different?
Observing Calla's embarrassed and angry expression, James coldly ordered, "Get out. I won't repeat myself."
With her lips quivering, Calla eventually ran out of the study.
"Mr. Burke, Ms. Calla is just a naive young girl. There's no need to be so harsh."
"Are you teaching me how to handle my affairs?"
"Not at all."
It was just that Mr. Burke used to be more tolerant towards girls of Calla's age in the past. Even if it was just for appearances, he wouldn't speak to a woman in such a harsh tone.
Moreover, the relationship between the Devins family and the Burke family was actually quite good.
James said coolly, "From today onwards, I don't want to see anyone who isn't part of the Burke family in this house. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away." Colt left the room.
Downstairs, Marian was packing Calla's bags. Calla had just moved in yesterday to take care of Bea's health, and today she was being sent away. Calla's face looked terrible as she immediately said to Bea, "Grandma Bea, your health hasn't improved yet. I can't leave."
"If you can't even hold onto a man's heart, what can I do?"
