NovelEnglishChapter 142 The Unknown Culprit It was no wonder that Camila was so cold and resolute on the stage that day. How disappointed must
she be to burst into a rage? In that instant, Silas felt guilty for failing in his attempt to find out the culprit
as he remained silent and looked at her. Camila frowned and wondered why the garrulous Landon
never asked her any question. When she doubtfully lowered her arm and saw the tall man by the bed,
she was stunned. It’s no wonder that Landon never said a word. He isn’t here at all! “Shouldn’t you be
busy today? Why are you here?” Without saying a word, Silas directly took a seat beside the bed. “I’m
done with work.” Gazing at him, Camila questioned doubtfully, “Have you found the driver?” Silas took
a deep breath helplessly and answered, “Yes, the driver confessed that it was Luca who told him to do
that. However, when I got to Luca, he was found dead in his house.”
Hearing that, Camila was flabbergasted. “He’s dead? Who did it?” Silas replied, “On the surface, his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdeath was caused by an overdose of stimulants.”
Camila finished his words for him, “But in reality, someone killed him and shifted the blame to him.”
He flashed a smile at her. As an intelligent woman, she could figure it out even if he never said it
clearly.
Camila laughed in self-mockery. “Who is so resentful of me to the point where the person wants me
dead?”
Her inadvertent words stunned Silas as he suddenly recalled what Brian said to him. If you want her to
be safe, stay away from her.
But… Will she really be safe if I stay away from her? Since the culprit wasn’t arrested yet, there was
still hidden danger. Camila was exposed, while the culprit was still hidden. It wasn’t certain when the
person would harm Camila again. Could I really protect her? “It’s because of me that you’ve fallen into
danger!”. Camila didn’t know how to respond to his sudden self-blame. Why does he start blaming
himself when I’m not harmed yet? “Do you know who did it?”
Silas shook his head. Although he was suspicious of a few people, it was pointless since he had no
concrete evidence.
Camila consoled, “Don’t blame yourself yet since we don’t know who the culprit is. In fact, I have many
enemies as well. Since the person is afraid of our investigation, I don’t think he is very bold, so you
don’t have to be worried!” Worried? I suppose he’s worried about me, hence his apologetic gaze. Silas
flashed a smile at her. Why is she such a good person? “Aren’t you afraid?” Camila snorted fearlessly,
“Why should I be afraid? I’m not a pushover, okay?” Silas nodded and replied seriously, “No, you’re not
a pushover. Don’t worry. I’ll stand by your side.” Camila burst into laughter. “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m
sure.” Silas smiled at her and remarked, “Please smile more. You look great when you smile.” Camila
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpursed her lips in embarrassment. What does he mean by this? Why does he keep saying such
intimate-sounding words to me?
“Where’s Landon?”
Silas replied, “I told him to go back as he has to fetch the kid later.” Camila mumbled and fell into
silence, which caused the conversation to end just like this.
A while later, she said, “Mr. Nolan, please go back as Kate will arrive shortly. Moreover, I’m fine now, so
you don’t have to be worried.”. Silas took a deep breath. Why does she always chase me away? “It’s
fine. I will leave when she arrives.” Camila thought to herself that if he stayed there any longer, she
would be utterly embarrassed.
“Do you want to eat an apple? I will peel it for you,” Silas held an apple in his hand and inquired.
Hearing that, Camila’s lips curved into a smile as she recalled the first time Silas peeled an apple for
her kid at her home. The apple turned out to be a mess. Does he seriously want to peel an apple for
me now?
