Chapter 429 How Could You Think That of Me
All of a sudden, Gianna could somewhat understand Silas’s hatred. Anybody would choose to get
revenge if they had a father who not only shirked his duties as a father but also framed their mother,
who had suffered all sorts of abuse because of him. Then, she glanced at Silas suspiciously. “At that
time, Lara and Edward must have been very suspicious of you, right? How did you survive? Moreover,
you even managed to help out your mother and Brian in secret.” After saying that, she abruptly turned
to look at him. “What Brian said couldn’t have been true, right?” It wasn’t as if she didn’t trust him, but
the way he was acting tonight clearly showed that he blamed himself for what happened. If this incident
had nothing to do with him, he wouldn’t act like that!
In response, Silas lifted his gaze and looked at her with an expression that seemed to say: ‘How could
you think that of me?!’
Thus, she hurriedly explained, “I know you weren’t behind it. But, the way you act makes me think that
you were involved in the matter somehow, right?”

she left the Nolan Family. After they left, I began recruiting and training my own men in secret. I didn’t
have money, but Grandpa doted on me at the time. Thus, my allowance was never cut off. Isaac was
the first person I recruited at the time. He wasn’t chosen to be a bodyguard candidate, but I took him in
because he seemed capable. But, I didn’t hire him to protect me. At the Nolan Residence, I was
protected by Grandpa. Therefore, Edward and Lara didn’t dare to openly do anything to me. However,
that wasn’t the same for my mother and Brian. For that reason, I sent Isaac to secretly protect my
mother and Brian. After that, he devoted himself to protecting my mother for more than three months.
During that period, he managed to solve some minor troubles for them. Just as I was starting to let my
guard down and focus on my own affairs, I received a phone call from him one day. He told me that he
had accidentally collided into the car my mother was in while he was driving, and my mother was in the
hospital for emergency treatment.” Pausing for a moment, he sighed again. “I was still young and
inexperienced, so I didn’t think too much about it. When I was older, I finally noticed that there were too
many coincidences lined up together for that incident to actually be a coincidence. Isaac was working
for me, but he ran into my mother. The main purpose for that was to turn us brothers against each
other. You saw it for yourself; Brian would still believe that even today. Secondly, they wanted to get rid
of my mother lest she caused trouble in the future. Lastly, Brian would be a goner without my mother. It
was three birds with one stone. Unfortunately, I didn’t consider it so deeply at the time. Back then,
Isaac knelt in front of me and begged for mercy. So, I sent him to the police station after beating him
up. By the time the pieces of the puzzle clicked in place for me, he was gone without a trace. Since
then, I’ve been looking for him. I’ve been blaming myself for it-why didn’t I notice what they did in the
first place?”
Upon hearing that, her expression became one of disgust. After that, she comforted him, saying, “You
were young, naive, and inexperienced back then. Moreover, no ordinary person could have imagined
that they would do something so unimaginably cruel! Still, don’t you think it’s strange that the man
you’ve been looking for all this while would suddenly turn up at your doorstep?” He replied, “Yes, they
must be trying to create a rift between Brian and me on purpose. I guess they felt that we were getting
along too well. So, they released that man to confuse us with falsehoods.” She asked, “Do you mean

In response, he looked gloomy. “Who else could it be if not them?”
On the other hand, she looked extremely concerned. “But, how are you going to explain this to Brian?
After all, Isaac was one of your men! I believe everything you said, but Brian might not!” Holding her
hands in his, Silas’s thumb gently made circles against the back of her hand as he mockingly smiled
and said, “They must be certain that Brian and I will turn against each other like how we did before.
That’s why they released Isaac. But, they’ve forgotten that I’m no longer the same person I was back
then. If it wasn’t out of respect for Grandpa, we might have been at each other’s throats a long time
ago. For now, I want Grandpa to live out the rest of his life peacefully. I will get my revenge on them
sooner or later. Besides, I have sufficient reasons to make Brian believe me.”
Then, Gianna stared at him in surprise. “What?”
