Chapter 84 Crash and Burn
Serenity nodded with a smile. Then, she sat down a fair distance away from them with her lute in her arms. In no time, the crisp and sweet strains of music floated in the room. Meanwhile, the other ladies exclaimed jokingly, “Don’t purify yourself, Mr. Road! We love you as you are.”
Chuckling, Alex remarked, “That makes sense. Mr. Nolan here is chaste, so I’m your only hope. How does the saying go again? If I don’t sacrifice myself for the greater good, who will?” “Pfft…” The ladies giggled, while Silas shot him an affronted glare. “You should have a care lest I throw up at that gross remark!”
Unfazed, Alex leaned close to him with curiosity written all over his face. “So, what exactly happened? I heard that you even crushed Harriet Grant? Isn’t there a collaboration between Grant Group and Nolan Group?” Downing his glass of wine, Silas replied with utter distaste, “She can’t manage her brother well, so I kindly helped her out!”
“Her target was Camila Brooklyn, so what has it got to do with you?” Alex asked in feigned bafflement, craftiness concealed in his eyes. “Could I have just ignored it when she was right beside me?” Silas retorted. Alex arched an eyebrow even as he smirked slyly. “Really? Do you just like her that much?”
