Chapter 139 Frenemies
Gianna thought that Kate was sharp-eyed as the latter had figured out that Silas and Brian were
frenemies.
The scandal in the past had been covered up, therefore only a few people knew that Brian was a
member of the Nolan Family. “They should know each other since they’re both business moguls,”
Gianna mumbled. Kate looked at her and questioned, “Are you not enticed at all when two brilliant men
are around you?” Pretending to be nonchalant, Gianna replied, “No, they aren’t my cup of tea.” Taking
a seat beside the bed, Kate gazed at her and persuaded, “Gianna, many years have passed, so please
don’t keep looking back. You’re the best woman in my heart, and no one is a good match for you.

you take off all your disguise so that you won’t have to face all the problems alone. Not all men are as
jerky as Adrian. At least Silas isn’t. Most people would praise you when you’re successful, but few
would save you when you’re in trouble. Both Silas and Brian had helped you when you were in deep
mud, especially Silas. When was he ever not present when you needed help?” Gianna remained silent
for a long time and explained, “I won’t fall for anyone again, so it doesn’t matter who is fond of me. It’s
because they’re good men that I don’t want to hold them up.” Feeling sorry for her best friend, Kate
gazed at her. She knew that Ganna was hurt deeply on a night seven years ago. Other than Adrian’s
betrayal, Gianna had let loose of herself on an impulse. Furious, she wanted to take revenge on the
jerk and made love to a stranger. After that, she was extremely ashamed of herself. Instead of being
picky, she was afraid that other men would be disdainful of her. “Gianna, don’t lose hope yet. You have
to believe that your Mr. Right is waiting for you somewhere in the world.” Gianna took a deep breath
and replied, “Alright, stop lecturing me. Get a carer to take care of me.”
Kate said, “No way. If Silas finds out about it tomorrow, he will take me to task. Just close your eyes
and take a rest.”
Gianna obediently closed her eyes and teased, “I seriously suspect that you’ve been bribed by Silas.”
Kate was torn between laughter and exasperation. “If I’ve been bribed, I won’t stay here and let you
mock me. I would have taken the money and fled.”
Gianna continued, “Maybe you didn’t agree on the price.” Kate’s lips twitched. “Alright, I’ll discuss with
Silas tomorrow. I’ll tell him to set the prices for making me disappear for one hour and one night.”

Kate was rendered speechless by friend’s words.
The next morning, Kate thought that Silas would come early, but he was nowhere to be seen by 9 am.
Gianna kept urging Kate to go home and sleep. Since they had hired a carer last night, it didn’t matter
that the latter wasn’t there. Worried, Kate insisted, “I’m not sleepy as I had slept enough last night.”
After hearing the statement, her best friend urged, “How could you rest well on a chair? Go home. I’m
really fine.” Just when they were having an argument, Landon swaggered into the room. “Why are you
here? Is South at the school?” Kate questioned. Landon replied, “Yes. My uncle told me to come over
and take your place so that you can go home and sleep.” “What is your uncle doing?” Kate questioned,
at which Landon shook his head. “I don’t know. Maybe there’s something he has to deal with
personally, otherwise he wouldn’t have told me to come here.”
