NovelEnglishChapter 73 A Night Out “That’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,” Silas replied. A frown formed on Camila’s face while she asked, “Do
you mean she wasn’t the mastermind?”
“A maid wouldn’t be so bold,” Silas scoffed. A frown formed on Camila’s 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. “D-Do you have a suspect? Would it be among your
family members, just for that inheritance?” “I don’t know.” 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

to remind him, “You should probably arrange for some bodyguards to protect your grandfather secretly.”
“I will be doing just that. Thank you for your time today, and I will have someone transfer the
consultation fee to you.” Silas nodded as he spoke. “You 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,” 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, “I won’t let what they did go unpunished, so you don’t
have to worry.” 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 Landon’s place, which was a delight to
South. As a games developer, every game that Landon developed would first go through South, so
visits to Landon’s house was South’s favorite activity.
Just as they arrived at Landon’s 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
Landon’s house.” “Are you sure you will be sleeping instead of playing games all night?” Camila
pouted. Landon made a promise by telling her, “I promise to watch over him.”
“I 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.” Camila harrumphed. “I know,
I know, so you can leave now. That idiot must be waiting for you.” 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!” Kate approached

Camila took her hand while Kate followed her lead as they stepped inside with the hem of her dress in
hand. “No matter what I do, I must get Luca to collaborate with me!” 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.
“Do you mean Luca Matthews, the main lead in ‘Can’t Help but Fall for You’?” Camila glanced at Kate
curiously. “Yeah, so you do know him!” Kate seemed delighted to hear that. “I also know he is
employed by Metrostar Entertainment!” An amused expression could be seen on Camila’s face as she
spoke. “Yeah!” 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,” Camila commented honestly.
