Chapter 139 Frenemies
Camila 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,” Camila mumbled. Kate looked at her and questioned, “Are you not enticed at all when two
brilliant men are around you?” Pretending to be nonchalant, Camila replied, “No, they aren’t my cup of
tea.” Taking a seat beside the bed, Kate gazed at her and persuaded, “Camila, 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmatch for you. However, I don’t want you to be alone. I want you to have a man who can take care of
you and make 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 Miles. 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?” Camila 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 Camila was hurt deeply on a night seven years ago. Other than
Miles’s betrayal, Camila 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. “Camila, don’t lose hope yet. You
have to believe that your Mr. Right is waiting for you somewhere in the world.” Camila 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.” Camila
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.”
Camila continued, “Maybe you didn’t agree on the price.” Kate’s lips twitched. “Alright, I’ll discuss with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSilas tomorrow. I’ll tell him to set the prices for making me disappear for one hour and one night.”
Camila threatened, “Discuss with him if you aren’t afraid that I will get even with you after I recover.”
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. Camila 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.”
