Chapter 73 A Night Out
âThat's not it. I thought they have an inkling that we are investigating the matter, which was why
they had the maid be their scapegoat,â Silas replied. A frown formed on Camilaâs face while she
asked, âDo you mean she wasn't the mastermind?â
"A maid wouldn't be so bold,â Silas scoffed. A frown formed on Camilaâs face as the reply he gave
reminded her of what Old Master Nolan said about the absence of familial relationships. A sense of
uncertainty lingered in her gaze as she looked toward him, all the while unsure how she should face
him, and if she should pity him or console him. âD-Do you have a suspect? Would it be among your
family members, just for that inheritance?â âI don't know.â To Silas, the matter was a hard topic to
breach as his family had done far more than that, which was why he opted for an ambiguous answer
after taking a deep breath Upon realizing that they were merely acquaintances, Camila had a
sudden feeling that she shouldn't have asked about the matter, so she didn't pry any further.
Instead, she opted to remind him, âYou should probably arrange for some bodyguards to protect
your grandfather secretly.â âI will be doing just that. Thank you for your time today, and I will have
someone transfer the consultation fee to you.â Silas nodded as he spoke. âYou don't have to be so
polite. I should be the one to thank you instead. Your timely arrival saved me from a disastrous
outcome,â she replied. Memory of the incident that happened prior to his arrival triggered a sense
of shame within Silas, as Robin wouldn't have been able to find fault with Camila if he hadn't
introduced her to that rowdy bunch. He felt responsible for what happend, thus he told her, âI won't
let what they did go unpunished, so you don't have to worry.â Unbeknownst to him, what he said
sounded like a promise more than anything else. Soon came the following night. Camila got a call
from Kate, during which the latter requested for her company to attend a gathering together. Thus,
she left South at Landonâs place, which was a delight to South. As a games developer, every game
that Landon developed would first go through South, so visits to Landonâs house was South's
favorite activity.
Just as they arrived at Landon'âs place, South ushered Camila to leave and even offered cordially,
"You won't have to come fetch me tonight as it will be quite late when you're done, I will be
sleeping at Landonâs house.â âAre you sure you will be sleeping instead of playing games all night?â
Camila pouted. Landon made a promise by telling her, âI promise to watch over him.â
âI know you two are birds of a feather when it comes to games. I will drop by next morning, and
you'll have to face my wrath if I find out you have been playing games all night.â Camila
harrumphed. âI know, I know, so you can leave now. That idiot must be waiting for you.â Landon
pushed her out as he spoke. The urgency in their actions left Camila resigning herself to hailing a
cab to go to the hotel, only to find that Kate was already waiting by the entrance of the hotel.
"You've kept me waiting!â Kate approached her in a hurry. âIt took some time for me to send South
to Landonâs place.â After apologizing to Kate, Camila took her hand while Kate followed her lead as
they stepped inside with the hem of her dress in hand. âNo matter what I do, I must get Luca to
collaborate with me!â That was what Kate said; she worked in a startup fashion magazine publishing
agency which was still in the process of garnering its fame, and its sales weren't doing too good
either, so the company was in a rather sorry state.
While the company managed to secure a contract with a company that specialized in watch ads,
they insisted that Luca Matthews was to be the model for their products, which was a request that
Kate couldn't afford to turn down, as she had to put into consideration the livelihood of her
subordinates.
âDo you mean Luca Matthews, the main lead in âCanât Help but Fall for You?â Camila glanced at
Kate curiously. âYeah, so you do know him!â Kate seemed delighted to hear that. âI also know he is
employed by Metrostar Entertainment!â An amused expression could be seen on Camila's face as
she spoke. âYeah!â said Kate.
"However, the drama is a hit, and his company and sponsors seemed to hold him in high regard, so
you won't necessarily succeed,â Camila commented honestly.
