Chapter 331 Desperate
After Grandpa was rushed to the hospital by Silvia's actions, the situation quickly escalated and spread throughout the city like wildfire. When Balk saw the news, he felt anxious. He wondered how the news spread so quickly, especially since it happened on their turf.
"Sis, this situation is getting more and more tricky. Although you kindly told Grandpa the truth, now everyone is pointing fingers at us, thinking we're responsible for all this mess. It's not good. And if big brother finds out about this, I'll definitely get an earful. You'll have to have my back when that happens."
Balk was genuinely scared. This situation was dangerous. He didn't know what to do.
"I knew something like this would happen before I did it, so I'm not surprised. Don't worry. I've thought about the next steps, so you can trust me completely."
"Trust you? How can I trust you? I can't relax at all. Look at how this situation has turned out. Everyone's blaming us. Before, you were relatively clean, but now you're in hot water, and we're in the hospital. This is a mess we can't explain away."
Balk was panicking, ready to call Bruce to handle the situation, but Silvia stopped him. She gave him a disapproving look. She had anticipated what might happen, so she wouldn't let Balk make that call.
"There's really no need to panic. And why do you think this is automatically my fault? Instead of worrying about whether this will backfire on us, why don't you think about who would be so bold as to station reporters outside our house?"
Silvia's reminder calmed Balk down. He had been stressed about recent events, fearing someone would uncover his identity and harm his family. Now, he realized there might be more to the situation.
"What should we do? Should we just let this go? We can't do that. If we ignore this, it's impossible."
"Somebody planned this
beforehand. Even if we didn't show up today, this would have happened sooner or later. So instead of letting them catch us off guard later, let's take control now. Think about who would place reporters at our doorstep."
Silvia's calm demeanor made Balk realize that there was indeed something suspicious about the situation. She started to think about how to handle it.
"Who do you think it is? Maybe it's Bonnie. She's probably been manipulated by someone. But why would they do this? They can't escape responsibility either."
"You're not the only one who can
think of these things. Others can too. But even if they know this will hurt their own families, so what? As long as they can drag us down, they'll achieve their goal. They've always targeted us from the start, and now their plan is halfway successful. If I hadn't been prepared, this would have been over."
Silvia held several pieces of evidence that could ruin them if revealed. She calmly smiled, but Balk felt a cold sweat down his back. He hadn't expected his sister to be so ruthless and well-prepared.
"My dear sister, next time if you have such a plan, please tell me in advance. My heart can't take it. I was really worried you'd do something to scare me. I almost called big brother."
Why didn't she tell him earlier? He was prepared. If she had told him earlier, he wouldn't have been so nervous now.
Silvia chuckled, starting to look forward to that person's arrival. She already had an idea in mind.
After waiting for a while, they were surprised to see Bonnie as the first person to arrive. Considering his current situation, he shouldn't have been running around randomly. But his appearance here was unexpected.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
