A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy’s Woman 126
Chapter 126
“Evan, take it easy. My wife just got out of the hospital,” Silas said.
Evan replied, “I know, Uncle Silas. I just want to show Aunt Betty my secret base!”
Silas let out a soft snort and looked at Julian. “What’s the deal with your son? Why is he all over my wife every day?”
Julian smiled faintly. “Bethany is good to him. He likes anyone who treats him well. That kid is sharp, just like you.”
Julian waved the cigarette pack in his hand. “Want one?”
“No,” Silas said, shaking his head. “I quit.”
Julian looked down and pulled a cigarette from the pack, placing it between his lips. “Then keep me company while I smoke. I didn’t expect marriage to change you so much.”
Silas didn’t argue and simply remained silent.
Julian blew out a smoke ring and spoke up again. “I’m planning to move up the ladder. Everyone is watching our family right now, so don’t cause too much trouble.”
Silas knew Julian was telling him not to go too hard on the Reids. “I know what I’m doing.”
“Evan was running around looking for his mother a few days ago. Did you know about that?” He couldn’t help but ask. “Who was that woman back then anyway?”
Julian was even more tight–lipped than Silas. If he didn’t want to talk, no one could pry a single word out of him. He kept the details about Evan’s mother completely under wraps. Even Jeremy probably didn’t know the truth.
Julian stubbed out his cigarette. “Don’t ask. It wasn’t Ms. Ashford from the other day.”
Nora’s file had been on his desk two days ago. She was 27 and had grown up in Latveria. She had never returned to the country. She simply looked like that woman.
There were too many people in this world who looked alike.
Silas decided not to push him. “Fine. But Evan really wants a mother. You should find someone.
Julian spaced out for a moment before he smiled nonchalantly.

“Noah, I ran into Mr. Brennan at a club once. He asked me to drink with him, but I refused.” Ella stretched her neck and made up nonsense.
She continued, “He had a bad attitude about it. I didn’t take it to heart, but I didn’t expect him to hold a grudge over something so small. Now, several of our partners have stopped working with us because of his orders. Noah, are you really going to stand by and do nothing?”
Noah frowned. “You mean Silas?”
“Yes!” Ella insisted.
Although Silas wasn’t exactly a saint, Noah thought he had no interest in women. Since when did he care about Ella? Or was it because Noah was engaged to Ella?
A dark look flashed across Noah’s face at the thought. “Tell Gary not to worry. I won’t sit back and watch Reid Group collapse.”
Ella smirked when she got what she wanted. It was exactly what she had expected.
Over the next few days, whenever Silas took a project from Reid Group, Noah handed them a new one. The back–and–forth made the elite circle in Claridge sense that something was fishy.
Some gossip media outlets even ran a trashy headline for clicks.
“Silas Brennan and Noah Vazquez Fight for Love!”
Silas looked at his phone and scoffed. “Which media outlet is this?”
“Mr. Brennan, this one belongs to the Reid family,” Ralph replied.
“They really love chasing clout.” Silas made a decision immediately and said, “Schedule a
press conference for me at noon.”
Ralph hesitated before replying, “Okay.”
Meanwhile, Bethany was in her office when she received a barrage of messages from Holly.
“Beth! Quick! Click this link!”
“Your husband is having a live press conference!”
Bethany clicked the link as instructed. She immediately saw Silas in a royal blue suit. The corners of his lips were curved up, and he sounded relaxed and unbothered.

“I hear there’s a rumor that Noah and I are fighting over a woman. I’d advise any reporters with half a brain to think twice before running a story like that. I held this press conference today to clarify something. I’m not into some attention–seeker.
“Come on. Give me a close–up.” Silas smiled, but his expression was wicked.
“To the little attention–seeker from the Reid family, stop chasing clout. I’m married. If my
wife sees this news, she’s going to get jealous and give me a hard time.”
