Chapter 82 Keep Your Distance From Her
Silas was a touch surprised, for he’d thought that Marcus Cohen would utter a few
imploring remarks. While he couldn’t have changed his mind, he had to answer the call for
Gianna’s sake. I didn’t expect Marcus Cohen to be such a straightforward person that he
gave his artist up without even asking what had transpired. The corners of his mouth lifted
a fraction. “Sure. Let’s get together sometime.”
Marcus’ voice drifted out of the phone. “Okay. I’ll leave you to do your work first, then.”
The corners of Gianna’s mouth twitched unbidden. This cousin of mine is really smart.
He’s making his stance clear to Silas Nolan when I’ve obviously related everything to him
via WhatsApp. She deliberately had Luca make this call so that he would harbor no
illusions. Metrostar Entertainment couldn’t possibly allow an artist of his character to stay
since he’d started puffing up before even achieving anything much.
After hearing the exchange, Luca’s eyes rolled back into his head, and he almost passed

Ladies, I’m sorry. I’ve realized my wrongdoing now.”
Gianna threw him a placid glance and remarked indifferently, “How did Metrostar
Entertainment produce such trash like you?” After saying that, she turned and looked at
Silas. “President Nolan, since he has been fired by Metrostar Entertainment, he’s been
suitably punished after all. So, let’s just drop it at this.”
“Is this even punishment? The two of you are fine only because he was impeded by the
situation, not because he has repented and decided not to take it further,” Silas
commented placidly.
Sighing, Gianna replied, “I know. If you hadn’t been here today, the ramifications might
have been disastrous for me and Kate, but it’s tantamount to career suicide now that
something like this happened to him at the height of his career. Thus, I don’t want to
pursue this matter further.” Harriet was also a tad worried. While she hadn’t raised a hand
against them, her attitude earlier was one of retaliation, so it was a matter of a word from
Silas if he wanted payback from her. Hence, she promptly said to Gianna, “Miss Aubrey,
I’m really sorry. I mistakenly took Luca’s words for the truth and thought that he was
bullied. I then wanted to retaliate on his behalf without having understood the truth, so I
owe you an apology as well.” Looking at her, Gianna took a deep breath. “As I said, we
both wanted to retaliate on behalf of our friends, so I don’t mind. I just have a kind
reminder for you-not everyone is worthy to be considered a friend. Some people aren’t
deserving of your kindness!”
Harriet nodded, “You’re right. I still need to improve my judgment of others,” she hurriedly
replied. Gianna inclined her head slightly without saying anything further.
Silas glanced at Luca, who appeared to be a lamb awaiting slaughter, his gaze blank and
helpless. “I’ll let you off this time for Miss Aubrey’s sake, but keep your distance from her
in future.”
Almost bursting into tears from the immense joy, Luca bowed low to him as though he’d
been granted amnesty. “Thank you, President Nolan! Thank you, ladies!” Aleena, who’d

shattered. Why is there such a big difference in his attitude? I wanted to sit with him, but
he disdained me. When Gianna Aubrey went over, however, he promptly called her over to
have a seat and even helped to avenge her, getting into a snit for her sake. Why?! like him
so much! How am I inferior to her? Her nails unconsciously dug into her flesh, but she
didn’t feel any pain, her eyes brimming with undisguised hatred. “Aleena, who’s that
woman? Why does Silas seem so protective of her?” The woman beside her stared at
them in bafflement.
Aleena snorted. “Protective? Not at all. She just knows some medical skills and happened
to have saved Silas’s grandfather, so Silas regards her quite highly.”
“No matter the reason, there’ll be sparks if she keeps putting herself into Silas’s path, so
you can’t just sit around and do nothing,” the woman urged.
