Chapter 26\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Brennan,\u201d someone cautiously greeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone knew that Silas and Noah didn\u2019t get along. Their families had been rivals for years, and neither side was willing to give an inch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thus, everyone was confused about why Silas had suddenly appeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s tone was unfriendly as he asked, \u201cWhy are you here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas walked over to the person holding the penalty cards. \u201cOh, nothing much. I just couldn\u2019t stand you people picking on a young lady. Problem with that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella bit her lip and glanced at him. \u201cSilas, you must\u2019ve misunderstood us. We didn\u2019t pick on her.\u201d She then turned to Bethany. \u201cRight, Beth?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany stole a glance at Silas\u2018 flawless side profile, wondering why he was here. Yet, she had no reason to refuse when someone was offering to help her. \u201cYeah, you were picking on me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she said that, everyone\u2019s expression changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly felt sorry for her friend. \u201cYeah! What kind of stupid penalty is that? We\u2019re not doing that, Beth!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella looked at Noah and mumbled, \u201cWe didn\u2019t pick on you. Beth, how could you accuse us of that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas gave her a half\u2013smile, then spread the penalty cards on the table for all to see.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s take a look at the penalties, shall we? Are all ten cards about apologizing to the girl in pink? What kind of dare is this?\u201d Holly was visibly shocked. She had no idea they were genuinely targeting Bethany. She quickly took Bethany\u2019s hand and said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Beth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, Bethany wouldn\u2019t have been bullied if she hadn\u2019t dragged her along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A chill radiated from Noah as he slowly got to his feet. \u201cSilas, what exactly do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing much.\u201d Silas stuck one hand in his pocket and said calmly, \u201cI just can\u2019t stand seeing bitches and scumbags, that\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused, then added, \u201cWhy the grim expression, Mr. Vazquez? Are you admitting that you\u2019re a scumbag? And I don\u2019t believe we\u2019re familiar enough for you to address me by my name, Ms. Reid. My wife will get jealous if you do that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His wife?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone could barely hide their shock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, it was a known fact that Silas was gay!\u00a0<\/p>\n
A\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back when Silas and Noah had their falling\u2013out, people claimed it was because Silas had a thing for Noah. Ella\u2019s face turned pale. She felt deeply wronged\u2013no one had ever called her a bitch to her face before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She dug her nails into her palms until they were red, then whispered, \u201cNoah\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah felt his temples throb. \u201cSilas, that\u2019s enough. I didn\u2019t invite you, so please leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas chuckled softly. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I wasn\u2019t planning to stay long. This place is a mess, anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He fixed his gaze on Bethany, a faint smile playing on his lips. \u201cMiss, would you like to leave with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s heart instantly raced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter zo\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly quickly agreed, \u201cCome on, let\u2019s go. I\u2019ll leave with you, Beth. Mr. Brennan, could you give us a ride?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holly and Bethany didn\u2019t drive here, and the campsite was quite a distance from the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas raised a brow, a lazy smile tugging at his lips. \u201cOf course you can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Turning to Noah, he said, \u201cMr. Vazquez, I\u2019m taking your guest with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s expression turned dark as the words \u201cyour guest\u201d hit him straight in the chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The others found nothing strange about it\u2013after all, Holly was Noah\u2019s niece and could easily be considered his guest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella, however, shot a venomous glare at their retreating figures. She knew exactly whom Silas had meant when he said Noah\u2019s guest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNoah\u2026\u201d she called softly, trying to pull his wandering attention back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s expression was grim. \u201cMm, let\u2019s continue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
