"A formidable figure in Madison City!" "Pay attention to the people around you!" "They might be wolves in sheep's clothing!" After Silvia read the message from Alina, those words were deeply embedded in her mind.
As for the most formidable figure in Madison City, the legendary "Mr. Kyle" was the first person in Silvia's mind. Moreover, Jayden was his son, and Jayden was someone who was by Silvia's side... Alina seemed to imply that Jayden was Felix's killer.
Jayden had never had anything to do with Alina, so why would she want to do that? Silvia could not figure it out. Did Alina put in so much effort just to sow discord between her and Jayden?
Alina was an extremely jealous person. In the past, she would always find fault with Silvia just because Silvia was the campus belle. So, Silvia could not rule out the possibility that Alina was only trying to cast a bone between her and Jayden.
After realizing all these possible reasons, Silvia chuckled and said, "Alina, it seems that you are really good at playing tricks, but I, Silvia Turner, am not someone who you can easily fool."
When Felix went missing, none of them had ever met nor had anything to do with Jayden, so Jayden absolutely did not have any motive to do that. Hence, Silvia was certain that the clues that she had gathered as of now were all fake. Someone was trying to lead her into the wrong direction, and it was possible that the culprit was hiding somewhere close to them, waiting for them to fall into his trap.
Silvia scrolled through her phone and deleted Alina's message without any hesitation. Then, she blocked Alina's contact. She did not want to hear Alina's voice nor receive any more messages from her. Silvia would not give anyone a chance to damage her relationship with Jayden!
After deleting the messages, Silvia felt at a loss. She had hit a dead end. Where should she start looking then?
Ring...
Silvia was startled by the sudden sound. When she saw that it was Jayden calling her on the phone, she gradually calmed down.
She answered the call, "Hello?" Jayden said in an unfriendly tone, "Silvia Turner, do you know what time is it now?"
Silvia looked at the time shown on the phone screen and answered. "It's 9 o'clock."
Jayden said, "It's already nine, so why aren't you home yet?"
"I'm not going home tonight," Silvia immediately hung up the phone.
Why must he sound like he was lecturing a child? She was an adult! She had her own life and thoughts. So what if she was a little late home?
After packing up, Silvia put on her backpack and went downstairs. Just as she arrived on the ground floor, she bumped into someone. Silvia looked up and saw Jayden's somber face.
She glanced at him and tried to break away from him. However, as soon as she took a step, Jayden had already pulled her back into his arms. He said in a deep voice, "Did I allow you to leave?"
"Do I need to get your permission to go wherever I want?" Silvia was already feeling very depressed, but this man was yelling at her. Because of this, she could no longer hold her anger in.
Just as Silvia was about to lose her temper, Jayden lowered his voice and said in a gentle voice, "Do you know how worried I was when I saw that you weren't home at this hour?"
No matter how angry she was, all her anger dissipated when she heard what Jayden had said. Silvia rubbed her face against his chest and said, "Can't you just tell me that you're worried about me? Why do you have to be so fierce with me?"
"It's because you don't take things seriously unless I speak this way!" That was what Jayden said, but he knew that no matter how fierce he was to her, Silvia still wouldn't take things seriously. She would just do whatever she liked.
