The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2573

Chapter 2573

Silas was the one who wanted to talk to me today, but he got Sylvester to feel for the situation first. Thus, I was not surprised.

I stood up together with Sylvester as we watched Silas slowly make his way toward my direction. There was a majestic aura enveloping him as usual, one that made others shiver. He arrived before me and looked at me expressionlessly before slowly taking a seat.

My lips curled into a smile as I sat down as well. My eyes were void of fear when I faced Silas. I was calm.

I knew why he came today, but I did not want to be the first to speak up. I waited quietly for him to start.

Picking up the teacup in front of me, I took a sip. Sitting opposite me, Silas was very calm. He did not say a word for a long time and just stared at me as if he was observing something.

I also said nothing and just allowed him to look at me like that.
