Sylvester cast Theo an appreciative look again. "I didn't expect you to be able to be so calm at the moment of life and death, President Grant. You truly are Theo Grant. You’re right. Roo discovered my plan. She didn’t want Wanda to get hurt, and she also didn't want me to become a murderer. So, I lied to her. I told her that I would give up the plan and that I would let Wanda go. I locked her in the house. I also wanted to prevent her from looking for you and letting you know of my plan, but I didn't expect her to actually manage to send out multiple messages before I placed a shield. All of you found out except for Wanda.”
"Why would she have the numbers of those close to me?"
"Roo found them from Silas' number book. Silas had looked for the contact information of everyone around you. Roo knew I bugged your phone and knew that I would know that she sent you a message the moment she did. Even if she told you not to come to the funeral, I’d still have the opportunity to bring you to me. Look, didn’t you guys come today?”
Sylvester looked at me with a smile that was filled with pride.
I shook my head. "Aren't you worried that Rooney will be disappointed in you after knowing that you’re such a person?"
"No. Considering Roo’s personality, she won't blame me for too long. I saved her from her gambling addict of a father, after all. She won't blame me."
It seemed that Rooney’s life had also been very bleak.
I sighed and looked at Theo with a helpless expression.
"Your hands are covered in blood. How can you show yourself before me so shamelessly and tell me it's okay?"
Rooney had at some point arrived at the door.
