A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 170

"What do you think of this gate?" Silas asked Bud.

"Looks solid, boss," Bud replied, admiring it.

Silas took a swig from the water bottle in his hand, swirled it in his mouth, and swallowed.

He couldn't deny the fact that he was beginning to get worried. Rosie was targeting everyone, and it scared the hell out of him.

Some of Ivy's staff stepped out to admire the new gate. They spoke softly among themselves, carefully avoiding his gaze.

"I think you should all go home," he said, addressing them. "I'm sure your CEO won't mind you taking the rest of the day off."

"Thank you, sir," they chorused, then returned inside. Shortly after, they came out one after the other before Silas went back into the premises.

"Are we sure nothing was tampered with?" he asked Bud.

"Absolutely, sir," Bud said confidently. "I checked everything."

Silas looked around, trusting Bud's assurance. It would suck for Ivy to later find

out that somewhere in her company was ruined by Rosie.

A chill ran down his back but he shook it away, refusing to give it life.

"All the security guards are in place, sir,” Bud added.

"Alright then," Silas sighed. "I guess it's time to go home."

The drive home was quick, giving him little time to sort his thoughts. As he stepped out of the car, he saw Bailey and Monica walking out of the house.

"Bailey?" His voice rose with surprise.

"Silas Archer Stone," Bailey laughed as she approached him for a hug. She touched his arm and raised a brow. "I thought Thomas was the fitter one."

“He still is,” Silas chuckled, though his chest tightened at the mention of Thomas. "What brings you here?"

"I'm in Cali for work," Bailey said. "I'll be here for a while."

"Well, welcome back. It's good to see you." He hugged her again, "How's Logan?" "He's fine."

"He's expecting a baby with his wife," Monica chimed in quietly, like she wasn't supposed to be in the conversation.

"Congratulations, Grandma," Silas said to Monica, watching her face light up with

pride.

"I'll see you around?" Bailey asked.
