Chapter 109 He’s in a Good Mood
Yes, I know.”
“I’m quite fond of Jessica as she’s smart, thoughtful and considerate toward you. You
should flatter her a little more. Trust me, girls love it when you do that “understand, Aunt
Lara.” “Is your dad asleep? Pass the phone to him.” “Okay.” Ben quickly handed the phone
over to Evan, as if he was trying to drop a hot potato that burnt his fingers into someone
else’s hands, Aunt Lara had always been a greedy and ambitious woman-the Roberts were
only able to achieve their current status because of her efforts Although his father was the
one who temporarily managed the Roberts Company, the largest shareholder was still
Aunt Lara-she was a good leader to her workers while being both kind and strict to the
entire family. However, she was never satisfied by what she had-even after Edward had
obediently bowed to her. She always looked for more, especially a higher status in society.
If she ever learned of how Ben had ruined her plan, he couldn’t imagine how much she’d

his rich and luxurious life.
Edward had stepped out of the bathroom with a sour expression just as Lara ended her
phone call. “What is it?” she asked, walking toward the man and reaching out to cling onto
his neck. Her body was soft and flexible as it curled up against his body like a snake. He
leaned over and kissed her on the lips before he said, “I just received a call from Maria,
who told me that Silas brought the little brat over again today.” “Gianna’s son?” “Yeah, I
wonder what the old man is thinking, becoming so close to an outsider. Doesn’t he have
many great-grandsons? He’s never been close to any one of them.” Lara narrowed her
eyes as she answered, “Do you think that the old man knows something? Otherwise, why
would he have researched the little brat’s origins? Could that kid have some sort of
relationship with Silas? Could it be his son?” Edward asked, “How could that be possible?
Silas did not have any woman around him for years, so how could he have a son?” She
lowered her head and remained silent for a while before suddenly raising her head and
saying, “I heard that Gianna has returned from Mastar and Silas used to head there on
business trips all the time a few years ago! If they had known each other from then, it
would be possible for them to have had a child together.” After moments of pondering in
silence, Edward asked, “If that’s Silas’s child, wouldn’t he already know about it?”
“Perhaps he’s only putting on a show for us. It isn’t entirely impossible for him not to be
aware of it either. Regardless, we have to investigate this-we can’t keep the kid around if
he’s truly Silas’s son!” A hint of cruelty flickered across Lara’s gaze. He seemed to have
gotten used to seeing Lara in that way as he simply leaned forward in a teasing manner.
Then, he planted kisses from her eyebrows before moving down her face as he said,
“Alright, stop worrying about this. It’s not as if you don’t have money for your daily needs.
Why do you need so much money?” Lara started to pant a little as her voice came in
between breaths. “I told you… I want to reclaim what’s yours… Don’t stop me from doing
it.” “I don’t care about anything else-as long as I have you with me.” At the Nolan Group
the next day, Silas was in an especially elated mood. Even when his secretary made a

before forgiving her for the errors. All of the workers had discussed it amongst
themselves. “What’s up with our president?” “I don’t know, but he’s in an exceptionally
good mood and even smiled at me earlier.“ “It’s so rare to see an iceberg melting.“ Xavier
was the first to realize this as he leaned over with joy and asked, “Do you have some good
news to share, President Nolan?” “No.” Silas tried his best to remain calm and cool, but he
couldn’t stop his lips from curling upward-even slightly. Xavier pouted his lips in disbelief.
President Nolan was clearly happy, but he no longer seemed to favor Xavier since he
refused to share the good news with him. Right then, three soft knocks came from the
door of the president’s office.
