Chapter 245 It Has Nothing to Do With Me

Silvia did not argue with him. It was indeed a wise choice to rest here at this hour.

However, she did not dare to close her eyes. She was afraid that once she closed them, she would have terrifying flashbacks again. Thus, she held Simon’s hand and didn’t let him go. “Talk to me.”

“What would you like to talk about?” Simon sat down by the bed and looked at her lovingly.

“Anything! How about you talk about yourself?” Silvia thought about it. For so long, she had never asked him about himself. She only knew that the Palmer family was prestigious. She had never seen his family after being with Simon for so long.

“Me? Nothing much to talk about!” Simon said and laughed.

Silvia didn’t expect such a self-effacing response from him.

In fact, Simon’s life was full of dramas so far, but he made it sound so plain. If what he said were true, other people’s lives would be a pure grind.

“Then tell me about your family.” She changed to a more comfortable position and asked, “You have never told me about your family. Who else is in your family? I’ll see your family anyway since we are going to have a wedding, right?”

“You will, but it doesn’t matter. They are not important to me. What is important is that you are with me!” His voice was still gentle, and his expression was shuttered, unfathomable.

That being said, Silvia still felt that something was wrong. What did Simon mean? Those were his family.

Simon already guessed what she was thinking and asked, “You wonder why they are not important to me, right?”

“Yes,” Silvia said with a nod.

“They are my family, bound by blood. But they have sent many assassins to kill me and have tried every way to set me up since I was a child. Don’t tell me you would still care about your family if they had done the same to you.” His tone was flat, but Silvia could hear the coldness in it.

It was supposed to be a heartbreaking story, but his tone lessened the sorrow it gave Silvia. It took Silvia a while to feel pity for Simon.

Silvia thought, “What had he experienced when he was young?

People say that the new family head of the Palmer family is cruel and likes to take violent means against the enemy. They don’t know what his family has done to him.

If he’s telling the truth, then how did he survive?”

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m not as good as you think. It’s just that I have to get used to the surroundings. Everyone in the Palmer family must learn to survive.”

After a pause, he continued, “But don’t be afraid. Right now, I’m already the family head, so no one dares to do anything to you. Besides, we won’t live with them.”

“OK!” Silvia nodded, pulled his hand, and rested her check on it. “With you here, I feel secure!”

Her wholehearted trust warmed Simon’s heart.

Silvia was so lovely, just like a kitten, and she trusted him so much. She neither feared him nor attached herself to him, It was so hard to find such a perfect woman.

Silvia was the apple of his eye, and he wanted to protect and love her for the rest of his life.

“Close your eyes and sleep!” Simon tickled her cheek with his finger.

She smiled and tried to hide her face. After a while, she closed her drowsy eyes and fell asleep again.

Simon looked at her face, and the smile on his face faded. He had complicated feelings.

Silvia was babbling in dreams. He heard her calling her parents. Obviously, she dreamed of her parents.

If Simon remembered correctly, Silvia’s parents died in an air crash when she was young. Silvia was not on the plane at that time. She should have forgotten about the air crash. Could it be that she missed them too much?

But when Silvia returned to the Austin’s house, she did not seem to have such a strong longing for her parents. Today, she suddenly fainted.

Was it because of the scene of Winnie’s mother being pushed out?

Silvia was not as strong as she appeared.

A man hid in the messy room to make a call. “Something happened,” he said, gasping.

The room was particularly dirty, and the lights were off. Only the cold moonlight outside the room shone in.

“Calm down! Didn’t you say that I can count on you?” said the man who received the call. He used a voice changer, which made his voice sound hoarse and strange, but his impatience was obvious.

“But I didn’t expect that the fire would be out of control, and there were so many people in that building.” Even if he was hiding in the darkest corner, he could not stop himself from trembling. He had

thought there were only a few people.

He originally thought that there weren’t many residents in that shabby building, especially when he saw that most flats were dark. He said to himself, “How could there be so many people?”

When he hid in the crowd, saw victims being carried out one by one, and heard those wailing cries, he was about to

collapse.

The other man snapped on the phone, “Idiot! I asked you to light a small fire to scare people. You made such a scene! Do you want to go to jail?”

“1… You asked me to set the fire. I’ll be considered an accessory at worst!” said the caller with a trembling voice. He forced himself to remain calm.

That was right. He was instructed by someone, not the chief instigator. So, even if the police found him, they wouldn’t let him take full responsibility!

He heard a cold sneer over the phone, and the other man said, “Is that so? Can you prove it then?”

“I…”

“Don’t tell me that these few calls are evidence. Do you think the police will believe you? You and I have never met!”

These words made the caller’s face pale.

They had only been contacting each other online and on the phone. All of these could be faked. He had thought that this was an easy job. It was just like how he stole something and robbed people before. They were all misdemeanors. But this was a felony.

Indon’t panic!” The voice on the phone sounded terrifying. “Let me ask you. When you set the fire, did anyone see it?”

asked the other man with a chuckle.

The caller licked his dry lips hard. He thought hard and shook his head. “No, I don’t think so,” he said.

“I need you to be sure about that. It is an old residential area. There are no surveillance cameras. As long as no one saw you set the fire, no one will find out! It is common for old wires to go out of repair for a long time. It often causes fire. No trace can lead to you!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

These few words were enough to reassure the caller. He thought about it carefully and felt that it made a lot of sense. “Yes! It is the wires. It has nothing to do with me!”

The other man smiled, “That’s right! You should leave this city for a while. Go somewhere else to hide. I put a deposit on your card. That will last you for a while! One more thing, this phone number won’t be used again. Don’t contact

me!”

“But I…” The caller got hung up on before he could finish his sentence.
