After returning to the apartment, Lucy was shocked when she stepped out of the elevator and saw her suitcase

lying in the corridor.

“W-What's going on here?” she asked with her eyes wide.

Why is my suitcase outside? Did someone break into my place and take it out?

Lucy felt her heart racing at the thought of that, and a trace of fear flashed past her eyes.

She then tightened her grip on her handbag and slowly made her way toward the door that was left open.

A middle-aged woman's voice could be heard coming from inside. “Thank you, Mr. Campbell!”

“No problem, we're only doing what we should. I'll be taking my leave now.” A man's voice was heard replying to

the middle-aged woman.

Silas! He must've found out about the break-ins here and came over to help out!

Lucy recognized his voice instantly and placed her handbag down in relief.

The next thing she knew, Silas stepped out of her apartment unit with a briefcase in hand. He was a little surprised

to see Lucy outside but quickly flashed her a smile and said, “Ah, Ms. Rivers! You came right on time! There's

something I need to talk to you about. You see—”

Lucy cut him off excitedly, “Did you catch the thief, Mr. Campbell?”

Silas arched an eyebrow at her. “Thief? What thief?”

“The thief that broke into my apartment unit. He even left my suitcase in the corridor! What an a*shole!” Lucy

exclaimed angrily with her fists clenched.

Having finally understood what was going on, Silas adjusted his glasses and said with a mocking look in his eyes, “I

think you've gotten the wrong idea here, Ms. Rivers. There was no break-in.”

Lucy froze. “What? No break-in? Then, how did my suitcase...”

“I had someone throw it out,” Silas said calmly.

The look on Lucy's face changed instantly upon hearing that, and she looked at him in disbelief as she asked, “It

was you? Why would you do that?”

Her mind was filled with confusion and unease.

Silas gave the folder in his hand a little pat as he replied, “I was simply carrying out Mr. Thompson's orders. He says

he no longer owes you anything now that he has returned the favor, so it's about time he took back the apartment

unit. I came over to terminate the rental agreement with the landlord. I even gave her a new set of furniture.”

Lucy felt a chill down her spine, and even her lips went pale upon hearing that.

“Why? Why would you guys do this to me?” she asked loudly.

Silas's expression grew cold. “You should ask yourself that question, Ms. Rivers. Mr. Thompson wouldn't be treating

you like this if you didn't wear his patience out. Sure, you have every right to love Mr. Thompson. In fact, tons of

women in the company love him, and his wife is well aware of it, but it has never bothered her in the slightest. Do

you know why, Ms. Rivers?”

“W-Why?” Lucy asked in a trembling voice.

“Because they keep their feelings to themselves and know better than to try anything funny. That's why Madam

doesn't get jealous, and Mr. Thompson doesn't hate them. You, on the other hand...”

Silas gave her a mocking look as he continued, “You've set your sights on Mr. Thompson since the start. You

wouldn't have hidden him from us nor stubbornly come after him all the way to Thompson Group otherwise. You

wanted to steal him from Madam and replace her, so you kept clinging to him and said harmful things that could

ruin their relationship. You even tried to sabotage their wedding yesterday!”

“No, I-I didn't...” Lucy shook her head profusely and tried to explain herself, but Silas wasn't about to give her a

chance to do so.

“Yes, you did. You're just used to lying to others and yourself, that's all. You refuse to admit it even though we all

know who you really are. Mr. Thompson was willing to forgive you for what you did to him before because you

saved his life, but you took things a step too far when you tried to ruin his wedding. That was the last straw for Mr.

Thompson, and he won't put up with you any further. You should leave, Ms. Rivers.”
