Marius remained indifferent to Shannon's shock. "What else could happen now?”
"It's really a big deal. Look, you guys!”
Shannon lit up her phone screen and showed it to us. Marius and I looked. "Silas died?!"
This was too sudden!
For a moment, I was stunned, as were Marius and Shannon.
Reading the news report, it was said that Silas suffered a heart attack at home and died as help did not arrive in time.
I knew Silas had not been in good health, but how could this happen so suddenly?
"Silas did a lot of bad deeds, though. An ending like this could be regarded as retribution,” Shannon said.
Marius looked at me with a serious expression. "Sis Wan, are you okay?"
"I’m okay. It’s just a little too sudden. I can’t register it.” I looked at Marius and Shannon and smiled gently. "Shannon is right. This is his retribution."
My mother was still lying sprawled on the hospital bed. He was responsible for most of it.
"I want to go back first." With that, I left the office. Shannon called out from behind me, but I did not answer.
In the parking lot, my hand rested on the handle without me opening the car door.
I did not understand why I was having such a big reaction to this. It was probably my compassion at work since Silas obviously deserved to be damned.
"Why is this happening?" I muttered, full of doubt.
An answer came from behind me. "That’s because you only wanted Silas to lose. You didn’t want him to pay with his life.”
I turned around and saw Marius walking toward me slowly.
