Chapter 78 In Hot Water
While Gianna 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?
“Gianna, 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, Gianna 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?” Gianna 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 Gianna’s reminder. Silas Nolan’s influence is even greater

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 Gianna 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 Gianna
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 Aubrey!” Kate
was a tad more nervous compared to Gianna, 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 and emptied two spots beside
him. Gianna inclined her head slightly at the crowd and was just a moment away from
sitting down while tugging on Kate’s hand when a woman’s forceful voice rang out at this

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 Gianna earlier. Gianna’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.” Gianna
nodded imperceptibly. Silas didn’t move, but his brows creased slightly as he kept his eyes
on Gianna’s situation.
