Chapter 88 Don’t Harass Anyone

Gianna was equally perplexed, but she said nothing. When she noticed Aleena’s wetted eyes, what Landon said came to her mind. Silas was very defensive of the people he cared about, but apathetic to those he didn’t. Ah, it seems that this is an unrequited love. All of a sudden, she felt sorry for Aleena, for she had fallen in love with someone she shouldn’t.

Silas called someone. “Bring him in.” When someone knocked on the door a moment later, Silas only said, “Enter.”

When the door was opened, in came Xavier and a man with a silver mask. They were bringing a sack with them, and after they came in, they tossed it on the ground with a thud. A gasp of pain came from within, then Gianna looked at Silas reflexively. That’s Robin in there!

“Open it,’ said Silas.

Xavier opened the bag, and out came a bloodied head. If it wasn’t for his voice, Gianna wouldn’t have recognized this bloody man was Robin. Aleena was ashen now. If Gianna could see this was Robin, she could too, but still she thought, Maybe it’s not him. Even so, her heart was pained when she saw his face.

Now she could explain everything she couldn’t. Aleena wondered why she couldn’t get through to Robin and why Silas would treat her to a meal, so this was it. She didn’t show any expression, but Aleena sneered quietly. So this is just a trap

for us. He wants to get back at us for what we did to Gianna.

“Did he say it?” Silas asked.

The man in the silver mask replied, “Yes, he did. Robin said Miss Jones was worried you might fall for Miss Aubrey, so she asked him to court her.”

A frown appeared on Silas’s face, and when he looked at Aleena, there was nothing in his eyes. “Do you know what annoys me the most? People who don’t know where they stand. Who I like and who I don’t has nothing to do with you. Who do you think you are to interfere with my business?”

Aleena teared up even more. “Silas!” she shouted. “I don’t know my place? We’ve been friends for years! How could you say that to me for someone you haven’t known for a week? Robin likes her, so of course, he’s going to court her. I can’t stop him! All I did was encourage him! I did not order him to do anything!”

Silas looked at her darkly, his tone distant. “You should know what you’ve done. I introduced Gianna to you, so finding trouble with her means finding trouble with me. Do you think out of your a**? If it wasn’t because we’re friends, I would have chased you out a long time ago! You should know I will do that.”

That broke her heart, and Aleena suffocated. Is he really going to humiliate me like that? How could he be so cruel? No, he’s only cruel to me. “Nobody’s finding trouble with her! It was just a joke, and we apologized, so what do you want? Is she so high and mighty that nobody can court her? Or is it because you like her, so you don’t want anyone to court her?” Silas frowned and glared at her. He was fuming, for Aleena had crossed the line. Everyone had this rebellious trait, and they would do the exact thing someone didn’t want them to. She keeps saying I have a relationship with Gianna, right? Well, so what if I do? He looked at her and raised his voice, sounding hostile. “You won’t give up until I tell you to will you?”
