NovelEnglishChapter 78 In Hot Water
While Camila could see what was happening over there, she couldn’t hear what was being said.
However, she was still rather surprised. Why didn’t Aleena stay longer with Silas? “Camila, you should
go and greet Silas as well. After all, it’s somewhat impolite to not greet him since you’ve seen him. As
my face is now bruised, however, I won’t be accompanying you over,” Kate remarked. Glancing at
Silas, Camila noticed that he was still surrounded by a crowd, so she replied, “Never mind, I’ll wait for
you before going over.” “Why would you wait for me? How am I to go over with such a face?” Camila
shot her a glare. “Excuses! With such simple thinking, I worry about the future of your magazine.” Being
an astute person herself, a moment of clarity instantly came upon Kate as a light bulb went off in her
head at Camila’s reminder. Silas Nolan’s influence is even greater than any celebrity or big shot!

Camila shot daggers at her. “We’re just going over to greet him, not doing anything grievous. What’s
inappropriate about that?” As she said that, she raised Kate’s chin. “Let me have a look. Hmm, it’s
much better now. Just go and touch up your makeup for a bit!”
It made sense to Kate, so she got up and went to the washroom with Camila to touch up her makeup.
When she came out, her makeup was exquisite, and her bruising wasn’t at all visible unless one truly
scrutinized her face.
At this time, there was still a crowd around Silas, including those few women who spoke up on Luca’s
behalf earlier. Perhaps it was because it was too abrupt that they were heading right at Silas or their
fuss earlier had attracted attention, but everyone was looking at them at this moment. While Camila
wasn’t afraid of the scrutiny, she was rather unused to such attention. Leading Kate, she moved
through the crowd and came to the lounge in the lobby. Then, she courteously greeted the man who
was sitting in the middle of the sofa and radiating a strong aura, “Mr. Nolan.” Everyone was a touch
startled upon hearing this, the look in the women’s eyes brimming with contempt. These two people
wish to make friends with Silas Nolan as well despite having no popularity, background, or repute? He
has already crushed Miss Jones earlier, so these two ladies are just thick-skinned. A glimmer of
surprise and even delight flitted across Silas’s eyes. I never thought I’d meet her here. “Miss Brooklyn!”
Kate was a tad more nervous compared to Camila, and she dipped her head a fraction at Silas. “Mr.
Nolan.” Silas politely inclined his head at her in response. Everyone was dumbfounded. What’s
happening here? They’re actually acquainted? “Come and sit over here!” Silas beckoned the two of
them. Sit? Where are we supposed to sit? Naturally, they were to sit beside him, so Logan again stood
up perceptively, but Silas didn’t protest this time. Thus, everyone promptly got up like a chain reaction

moment away from sitting down while tugging on Kate’s hand when a woman’s forceful voice rang out
at this time. “Who hit my brother?” At this, everyone looked over in the direction of the voice. A wealthy-
looking woman in a branded dress who appeared to be in her 40s was striding in their direction, her
aura fierce and intimidating. Meanwhile, the man trailing behind her was none other than Luca who’d
been kicked to the ground by Camila earlier. Camila’s brows furrowed slightly. Never have I thought this
man would actually ask a woman to come and avenge him. Damn, he’s not a man at all! The disdain
within her showed on her face. Instead of sitting down on the sofa, she remained standing as she
stared at the fast-approaching woman. Kate whispered, “This woman is the president of Grant Group,
Harriet Grant. She’s a career woman who’s been single ever since her divorce. We’re in hot water this
time, for this woman is so tough that even most men don’t dare provoke her.” Camila nodded
imperceptibly. Silas didn’t move, but his brows creased slightly as he kept his eyes on Camila’s
situation.
