The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 342

"How is she doing?"

"You tell me."

Liam offered a faint smile, his burning gaze fixed on the man across from him. "I heard Harrison got his manhood sliced off. Was that your doing?"

Silas didn't bat an eye. "You came all the way here just to ask me that?"

"Is it that surprising?"

Liam pulled out a chair and sprawled comfortably into it.

"Honestly, I was pretty pissed off when I found out Vivian got bullied. But before I could even do anything, I heard the bastard who did it won't ever be a man again. If it wasn't the person backing her pulling the strings, I really can't think of a second possibility."

Silas continued tapping lightly on his desk, remaining completely unbothered. "She's a Vaughan. Anyone from the Vaughan family could have pulled it off."

"That's true." Liam nodded. "But the Fowler family has been working overtime to keep a lid on it. Getting that news out would take some serious effort."

They only knew about it so quickly because of their deep-rooted connections in Northside.

The Vaughan family's reach didn't stretch quite that far.

"You're the only one equipped to pull it off."

Sterling Enterprises had their hands in a wide array of industries, and over the past couple of years, they had made massive waves in new tech. On top of that, Silas had majored in computer science and finance.

Wiping out all the security footage without a trace would be a walk in the park for him.

Silas let his lips curve into a faint smirk, his lowered eyes hiding his thoughts.

He spoke softly, "Defamation comes with legal consequences, you know."

"Are you planning to sue me?"

"I'll let it slide this once. Get out."

Liam gave him a profound look, taking his time before finally standing up. "Silas, have you actually fallen for Vivian?"

"Whether I have or not, she's not someone you need to concern yourself with."

Silas shot him a cool glance. "Mind your own business."

Liam pressed his lips together, saying nothing more.

He turned and left.

If Silas was just playing around, he'd still fight for a chance.
