Sweet Revenge

Chapter 243

Chapter 243 It’s Righteous of Your Wife-to-Be 
Judging from how Freddie looked and the way he hesitated to speak, Simon knew something was off. He glanced at Silvia and Chester. Then he stood up and took a few steps outside. “What?”
Freddie said something in a low voice. Simon’s expression changed right away. Then he glanced at Silvia subconsciously.
Although it was just a glance, Silvia’s heart jumped inexplicably.
“I know now.” He nodded and walked back, and Freddie was standing still, waiting.
Silvia looked up at Simon, who was standing at the dining table, while Chester, who seemed heartless, was still eating happily. He really didn’t expect that Simon was this good at cooking, a match for those Michelin chefs. With his mouth covered with oil, Chester couldn’t care less about what they were saying at all.
Simon glanced at Chester, and then he turned to Silvia and said in a serious tone, “Just now, a fire broke out in Sycamore Road.”
“All right.” Silvia nodded and waited for him to continue.
Then something flashed through her mind. She thought, Sycamore Road? Why does it sound familiar?
“Isn’t that the place where … Winnie lives now?” She remembered this place because she had sent Winnie back there twice. Also, it was close to her company.
Simon nodded. Silvia, shocked, jerked herself up. “Then, Winnie…”
“It was not a small fire. Most of the people in the building have been sent to the hospital. As for Winnie, we’re still waiting for notice.”
Freddie just learned the news as well. And then he came to Simon right away.
“I need to take a look!” Silvia, anxious, wanted to rush out, but Simon stopped her.
“There are firefighters, police officers, and ambulances over there. They will take care of everything. You don’t have to be there now since you will only cause trouble and make things difficult for those professionals. Don’t panic. I have asked Freddie to keep tabs on the news. Once they find Winnie, you will know right away.”
Simon’s words made a lot of sense, but then again, how could Silvia not be worried?
Over the past few years, Winnie had been her only friend in V.L. Winnie would stand up and curse scumbags for her, stay up late with her, and always think in her shoes. In Silvia’s eyes, Winnie was more than just a friend.
Due to that, knowing that something might have happened to Winnie, how could Silvia not be anxious?
However, Simon’s words had a point. Silvia lowered her head to look at her clothes a bit. With her dressing like this, it was indeed inappropriate to rush over now. Therefore, she nodded calmly. “Alright, I’ll go get changed and wait. When the news comes later, no matter what… No matter what happens to her, we’ll go over anyway.”
Although she tried her best to calm herself down, her voice was still trembling since she was afraid that something Inight happen to Winnie.
“Don’t worry, I have got you.” He shook her hand, trying to comfort her.
Silvia turned around and went upstairs. Simon was left staring after her. He sighed a bit and turned around, only to find Chester, dumbfounded, looking at him. Chester had finally stopped eating, but with his mouth slightly open, Chester looked rather confused.
Get BLAUS
Noticing that Simon was looking at him, Chester put down the spoon in his hand, “Well… The building that was on fire, is it the old one in Sycamore Road?”
“Yes.”
“The buildings in that neighborhood are just too old. The wires have aged. Although it is in a good location, it needs repair long before. Or fires will break out there sooner or later. But…” Chester knew that neighborhood quite well. Then Chester thought of how nervous the couple looked just now. He knew something was off. “But I notice that your wife-to-be is quite nervous. Could it be that … some of her relatives are living there?”
Chester thought, since the beauty refused to tell me her name, also, she keeps her background a secret, it’s likely that she might come from a humble family. If that’s the case, it would only make sense that she has relatives living there.
People who live in that neighborhood are either poor locals or renters who are not that well-off. They lived there because it was cheap.
If her relatives live there, then it’s more than likely that her family is not that well-off as well.
“No.” Simon shook his head. “It’s a colleague.”
“Colleague?” Chester was taken aback. He never expected it would be a colleague. “But just now, she…”
Chester thought, she restrained her panic and nervousness in a way as if something had happened to her family. But it turns out to be her colleague! Are colleagues all besties these days?
“They are great friends with each other.” Knowing what Chester was thinking, Simon explained a bit.
“It’s righteous of your wife-to-be!” Chester gave a thumbs-up.
Simon rolled his eyes and said seriously, “I really can’t keep you now. And Freddie isn’t available to send you off as well. Go to the courtyard, pick a car, and go home.”
Chester thought, for the entire night, that was the most pleasant and most touching remark from Simon.
“Alright! I know how to take the hint!” Chester nodded, stood up, and walked over. But when he passed by Simon, he stopped and turned to Simon. “But there is still one more thing.”
“What?” Simon raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
Chester glanced at the stairs that Silvia took And since he did not see Silvia, he turned his head back. “Can you tell me what the name of your wife is now?”
Then Chester added before Simon got worked up, “You don’t want me to just call her ‘beauty’ in the future, right? Actually, I’m okay with it. It’s just that you might have a problem by then, accusing me of teasing her.”
Simon was speechless. How glib-tongued Chester was!
But then again, it was indeed not a secret. Actually, soon their wedding invitations would be printed all over the headlines.
“Ms. Austin,” Simon said resignedly.
“Okay!” with that, Chester left in satisfaction.
Then he chose a car from the courtyard and drove away. With his stomach full, Chester felt that it was worth visiting Simon’s place today. He had even seen Silvia in person and learned that she was “Ms. Austin”. Plus, the meal was made by Simon himself, which was very rare.
Now that he thought about it again, it was no longer a big deal for him to go through all those sufferings before.
Chester frowned as he tried to think of anyone he knew who was with the surname “Austin”. But he couldn’t think of anyone. Could it be that Simon’s wife really came from a humble family?
Silvia changed into a set of casual clothes and went downstairs. She was not surprised that Chester had already left. It would only be strange if he stayed.
“How is it?” All she cared about now was Winnie.
“They have finished the rescue operation there and have sent all the injured to the hospital. Since things are chaotic and complicated, we don’t know any information about the injured yet. Let’s go to the hospital to check a bit.”
“Let’s go then!” she said without hesitation.
