Chapter 142 The Unknown Culprit
It was no wonder that Camila was so cold and resolute on the stage that day. How disappointed must she be to burst into a rage? In that instant, Silas felt guilty for failing in his attempt to find out the culprit as he remained silent and looked at her. Camila frowned and wondered why the garrulous Landon never asked her any question. When she doubtfully lowered her arm and saw the tall man by the bed, she was stunned. It’s no wonder that Landon never said a word. He isn’t here at all! “Shouldn’t you be busy today? Why are you here?” Without saying a word, Silas directly took a seat beside the bed. “I’m done with work.” Gazing at him, Camila questioned doubtfully, “Have you found the driver?” Silas took a deep breath helplessly and answered, “Yes, the driver confessed that it was Luca who told him to do that. However, when I got to Luca, he was found dead in his house.”
Hearing that, Camila was flabbergasted. “He’s dead? Who did it?” Silas replied, “On the surface, his death was caused by an overdose of stimulants.”
Camila finished his words for him, “But in reality, someone killed him and shifted the blame to him.”

He flashed a smile at her. As an intelligent woman, she could figure it out even if he never said it clearly.
Camila laughed in self-mockery. “Who is so resentful of me to the point where the person wants me dead?”
Her inadvertent words stunned Silas as he suddenly recalled what Brian said to him. If you want her to be safe, stay away from her.
But… Will she really be safe if I stay away from her? Since the culprit wasn’t arrested yet, there was still hidden danger. Camila was exposed, while the culprit was still hidden. It wasn’t certain when the person would harm Camila again. Could I really protect her? “It’s because of me that you’ve fallen into danger!”. Camila didn’t know how to respond to his sudden self-blame. Why does he start blaming himself when I’m not harmed yet? “Do you know who did it?”
Silas shook his head. Although he was suspicious of a few people, it was pointless since he had no concrete evidence.
Camila consoled, “Don’t blame yourself yet since we don’t know who the culprit is. In fact, I have many enemies as well. Since the person is afraid of our investigation, I don’t think he is very bold, so you don’t have to be worried!” Worried? I suppose he’s worried about me, hence his apologetic gaze. Silas flashed a smile at her. Why is she such a good person? “Aren’t you afraid?” Camila snorted fearlessly, “Why should I be afraid? I’m not a pushover, okay?” Silas nodded and replied seriously, “No, you’re not a pushover. Don’t worry. I’ll stand by your side.” Camila burst into laughter. “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m sure.” Silas smiled at her and remarked, “Please smile more. You look great when you smile.” Camila pursed her lips in embarrassment. What does he mean by this? Why does he keep saying such intimate-sounding words to me?
