Chapter 287
Vivian caught a glimpse inside the van from the corner of her eye. The man’s face had grown so dark it was beyond terrifying, but she couldn’t afford to care. She continued, “Go back and tell Silas. Tell him to come save me.”
With that, she ducked inside and took a seat.
Soren slammed the door shut.
He climbed into the passenger seat.
The entire sequence was incredibly smooth, leaving Simon without even a moment to process what was happening.
Watching the van speed off into the distance, he muttered, “What the hell…”
He immediately turned and sprinted back toward the ward.
Inside the vehicle.
The van’s interior was quite spacious, but in the quiet, enclosed space, Vivian felt suffocated. Even without looking, she could sense the overwhelming, mountainous presence of the man beside her.
“Are you and Silas close?”
At the sound of his phantom-like voice, Vivian instinctively stiffened her spine.
She forced herself to maintain a calm expression. “We’re alright. Haven’t you ever dated anyone before, Marcus?”
Marcus laughed, a short, mocking sound. “Are you trying to show off your relationship with him? Do you really think saying that just now will make Silas go to war with me over you?”
Vivian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It was true. This man knew exactly what was going on between her and Silas.
But what about Silas?
Silas had definitely been investigating her. The moment Vincent showed up, the missing puzzle pieces of her past had suddenly connected. It was highly likely that Silas now knew about her ties to the Vaughan family.
So… would he risk crossing the Vaughan family for her?
Vivian suddenly realized she couldn’t be sure.
