Chapter 126\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEvan, take it easy. My wife just got out of the hospital,\u201d Silas said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Evan replied, \u201cI know, Uncle Silas. I just want to show Aunt Betty my secret base!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas let out a soft snort and looked at Julian. \u201cWhat\u2019s the deal with your son? Why is he all over my wife every day?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian smiled faintly. \u201cBethany is good to him. He likes anyone who treats him well. That kid is sharp, just like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian waved the cigarette pack in his hand. \u201cWant one?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Silas said, shaking his head. \u201cI quit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian looked down and pulled a cigarette from the pack, placing it between his lips. \u201cThen keep me company while I smoke. I didn\u2019t expect marriage to change you so much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas didn\u2019t argue and simply remained silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian blew out a smoke ring and spoke up again. \u201cI\u2019m planning to move up the ladder. Everyone is watching our family right now, so don\u2019t cause too much trouble.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas knew Julian was telling him not to go too hard on the Reids. \u201cI know what I\u2019m doing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEvan was running around looking for his mother a few days ago. Did you know about that?\u201d He couldn\u2019t help but ask. \u201cWho was that woman back then anyway?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian was even more tight\u2013lipped than Silas. If he didn\u2019t want to talk, no one could pry a single word out of him. He kept the details about Evan\u2019s mother completely under wraps. Even Jeremy probably didn\u2019t know the truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian stubbed out his cigarette. \u201cDon\u2019t ask. It wasn\u2019t Ms. Ashford from the other day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nora\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were too many people in this world who looked alike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas decided not to push him. \u201cFine. But Evan really wants a mother. You should find someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian spaced out for a moment before he smiled nonchalantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNoah, I ran into Mr. Brennan at a club once. He asked me to drink with him, but I refused.\u201d Ella stretched her neck and made up nonsense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cHe had a bad attitude about it. I didn\u2019t take it to heart, but I didn\u2019t 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?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah frowned. \u201cYou mean Silas?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d Ella insisted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although Silas wasn\u2019t 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?\u00a0<\/p>\n
A dark look flashed across Noah\u2019s face at the thought. \u201cTell Gary not to worry. I won\u2019t sit back and watch Reid Group collapse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella smirked when she got what she wanted. It was exactly what she had expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the next few days, whenever Silas took a project from Reid Group, Noah handed them a new one. The back\u2013and\u2013forth made the elite circle in Claridge sense that something was fishy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some gossip media outlets even ran a trashy headline for clicks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSilas Brennan and Noah Vazquez Fight for Love!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas looked at his phone and scoffed. \u201cWhich media outlet is this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Brennan, this one belongs to the Reid family,\u201d Ralph replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey really love chasing clout.\u201d Silas made a decision immediately and said, \u201cSchedule a\u00a0<\/p>\n
press conference for me at noon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ralph hesitated before replying, \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bethany was in her office when she received a barrage of messages from Holly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth! Quick! Click this link!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour husband is having a live press conference!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI hear there\u2019s a rumor that Noah and I are fighting over a woman. I\u2019d 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\u2019m not into some attention\u2013seeker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on. Give me a close\u2013up.\u201d Silas smiled, but his expression was wicked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the little attention\u2013seeker from the Reid family, stop chasing clout. I\u2019m married. If my\u00a0<\/p>\n
wife sees this news, she\u2019s going to get jealous and give me a hard time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
