Chapter 73 A Night Out
That’s notil thought they have an inkling that we are investigating the matter, which was
why they had the maid be their scapegoal, Silas replied
A frownformed on Gianna’s face while she asked, “Do you mean she wasn’t the
mastermind?
“Amaid wouldn’t be so bold, Silas scoffed.
Afrown formed on Gianno’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
farnily 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, Gianna had a sudden feeling
that she shouldn’t have asked about the matter, so she didn’t pry any further. Instead, she

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 Gianna 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. Gianna 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 Gianna 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?” Gianna 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.” Gianna 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 Gianna 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 her in a hurry.
“It took some time for me to send South to Landon’s place.” After apologizing to Kate,
Gianna 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

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?” Gianna
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 Gianna’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,” Gianna commented honestly.
