Chapter 224 She Is Safer With Me

He did not go home; instead, he went directly to the company. Although he was in the company, his mind and soul were elsewhere. The entire meeting in the morning was to discuss how to go against Brooklyn Company. After reaching a conclusion, Silas’s mind wandered. Xavier had to remind him more than once, and Silas finally finished hosting the entire meeting. Upon returning to his office, Silas started massaging his throbbing temples. “Pour me a cup of coffee!” Xavier acknowledged his order and went to prepare it in person without asking help from anyone else. Soon, he served Silas a steaming cup of coffee. “President Nolan, have you found the child?” Silas nodded. “We found him.” Xavier was shocked.

Why is he so distracted since he’s found the child? “Did you not sleep the whole night last night? Why don’t you rest for a while in the lounge? I’ll wake you if something comes up!” Silas maintained a frosty look and spat, “No need.” Xavier kept quiet straight away. Our president doesn’t look as if he’s in a bad mood due to sleep deprivation. On the contrary, he looks more like he’s been provoked. Suddenly, Silas’s phone rang and vibrated, and he glanced at the screen display. He was dumbfounded for a while when he saw the familiar phone number across his screen. I can’t believe it’s Brian.

He has never taken the initiative to phone me. This is rather rare!

Silas swiped across the screen to answer the phone call, but he was greeted by an unkind and rough voice. “Come out here. I’ll wait for you at the old spot!” Silas answered indifferently, “Sure.” After an hour, Silas drove the car alone and arrived at Ruby Palace. He went straight to the private room they often met in. Upon entering the room, he didn’t utter a word when he saw Brian, who was sitting on the couch, surrounded by a gloomy aura. Instead, Silas shut the door straight away and sat across him. “Why were you looking for me?” Judging by his look, I don’t think he’s here to chat leisurely about our affection as brothers! True enough… The next thing he knew, Brian started his interrogation. “Who snatched Camila’s child away?”

Silas stared at Brian while answering him calmly, “Can’t you investigate yourself?” “I’m asking you!” Brian hissed.

Silas inhaled deeply, and his eyes seemed especially dark today. He was feeling moody today, and so he wasn’t in the mood to coax his younger brother. “Brian, in what capacity are you interrogating me?”

Brian’s gaze was icy-cold. “My friend, people like us do not have the right to have feelings, especially you. I’m telling you-you had better leave Camila as far away as possible. Otherwise, you’ll get her killed!”

Silas answered coldly. “I can’t leave her anymore. You’re too late!” Brian was furious when he heard that, and he screamed at Silas, “In that case, do you want to see the mother and son ending up dead? The car crash just happened a few days ago, and her son went missing last night. Silas, it’s impossible for you to rescue her in time every time. If you truly love her, you should keep a distance away from her.

That Nolan Family of yours is hell, and she would end up with a pile of bones if she were to get any closer to you!” Silas stared at him coldly. “She’s already been dragged into this. She saved grandpa; she matchmade Ben and Jessica’s marriage. Do you think that she’d be able to step away from all this?”

Brian inhaled deeply. “In that case, you need to stop pestering her. I will take her away! She will be safer with me than staying by your side!” Silas smirked. It looks like my younger brother is in love with her after all. “She isn’t in love with you!” Brian retorted, “She’s not in love with you either!” Silas nodded. “I know, but she will be sooner or later!” Brian laughed mirthlessly suddenly. “How would you know that she won’t fall for me? If she has to choose between the two of us, I am much more suited to her compared to you.

At least she’d be safer around me.” Silas asked rhetorically, “I’m sure you must have seen the post Lyla posted on the internet.” Brian snorted in response. “So what?” Silas asked again, “Were you the one who handled Lyla?”
