This was probably the day Thomas Grant met my mother for the first time. Silas has unexpectedly been watching them.
Although their voices were soft, I could hear their conversation clearly.
"I'm already married, and I have kids. We're very in love. I can't bring myself to marry you." These were my mother's cold words to Thomas Grant.
The video was a little fuzzy, but I could clearly see Thomas' look of understanding. He just nodded a few times. "I actually also have someone I like. We have children too. I'm just meeting up with you to get President Yard to give up and let him know that it’s impossible between us."
It turned out that nothing happened between Thomas Grant and my mother.
Just when I was about to continue watching the videos, a voice sounded outside the door, "Who's in there?"
Sylvester had returned.
I closed the video and tried to look for a hiding spot, but I was too late.
The lights came on and Sylvester was standing at the door.
His brows furrowed as he strode over. He instantly understood when he saw what I had unearthed. "You watched it."
"Yes. I just wanted to confirm that Silas lied to me.”
Sylvester regained his composure. He picked up the things on the ground and handed them to me. "Take them back. You can take a closer look. If you just want to know whether what Grandfather told you the other day is true or not, then I can answer you. It’s indeed a lie. You don't have to investigate anymore.
"You already knew it wasn’t true." I looked at him, puzzled.
"I did. He said he didn’t want to let you off peacefully. So, he wanted to turn you against Theo before leaving. Theo would let Grant Corporation slip and he would take advantage of the situation and swoop in," Sylvester revealed calmly.
