Female NovelThe man remained silent, yet Silas felt an unprecedented sense of despair.
It had to be the case. With someone ready to replace him at any moment, he was done for.
Karen did not leave him any choice...
The man pushed open the door.
Jeff and Windsor, who were guarding outside, saw another Silas standing there and walking out. Theycould not help but widen their eyes in astonishment. "Wasn't he half-dead just now? How can hesuddenly walk?"
They did not consider other possibilities. They thought Silas had recovered.
The doctor they summoned had also said that Silas' injuries were severe. He needed at least twomonths of rest.
It had not been that long. How could the man who just went in make Silas, who was barely alive, standup?
"No, it's not the same person! Look, their clothes are different!" Windsor noticed that the person in frontof them was wearing the exact same clothes as the man who entered earlier.
"What..." Jeff pinched his thigh, doubting if he was dreaming and seeing things wrong.
The pain in his thigh confirmed it. Everything was real.
The man spoke up, "Has the reporters arrived?"
"Madam Mallory just went to pick up the reporters. They should be here soon," replied Windsor. Theman sounded like Silas too. Windsor could not help but peer into the room with curiosity.
When he saw Silas still lying on the bed, he was certain that the person in front of him was not Silas butsomeone who looked exactly like him.
He was stunned!
Was this man using disguise techniques?
Were there people in this world who could do that? He had thought it only happened on TV!
"Silas is in shock. After everything is settled, inform the doctor to come over," said the man. Silas hadseen him transforming and how he gradually looked like Silas himself, which scared him.
Silas kept muttering, asking for mercy.
Karen must have found someone to replace him and kill him.
The man did not bother explaining much. After all, he had been paid for this job, and he only intendedto disguise himself once. Hence, there was no way Karen would kill Silas.
At most, Karen would not care about Silas anymore.
"Yes, sir." Windsor walked into the bedroom and glanced at the person on the bed.
Silas was trembling under the covers, his head hidden.
Windsor pulled away the covers.
Silas saw him and trembled even more violently, mumbling, "Don't kill me, please. I won't tell, I won'tsay anything."
"He's really been scared out of his wits," muttered Windsor as he recalled how puzzled Silas was whenhe opened the door earlier.
The imitation was so lifelike. He suddenly understood why Silas reacted this way.
"No one's going to kill you. Stay put until everything is over, then you'll be safe." Then, Windsor pickedup a cloth and stuffed it into Silas's mouth.
Karen brought a man who later disguised himself as Silas and also asked to invite a few reporters over.Thinking of this, Windsor immediately pieced it together.
That was why he directly stuffed a cloth into Silas' mouth, preventing him from making any noise lateron.
At this moment, Karen also arrived upstairs and was surprised to see a living Silas standing at the door.
However, her reaction was better than her two subordinates. She immediately noticed the clothes hewas wearing.
Thus, she instructed her subordinates, "Keep an eye on things here. Make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Yes, Madam." Jeff nodded.
Karen was completely impressed by the person Pierre had brought in. With such exceptional disguiseskills, even without Silas, there would not be any issues in the future.
An idea popped into her mind.novelbin
Still, it was not the time for such actions. She respectfully said to the man, "The reporters aredownstairs."
"Okay. From now on, I'm Silas. Treat me the same way you did during the day," said the man as hepointed at the person inside the bedroom.
Silas listened to their conversation from inside. Waves of despair filled him as he listened to everyword.
He was going to die...
He was really going to die now.
Karen headed downstairs first. Two reporters from two media outlets came, only because she hadgiven them benefits beforehand. That was why the reporters did not mind working overtime.
When Karen came downstairs again, just as they were about to ask their questions, they caught sightof Silas. Their mouths dropped open in disbelief, and their faces showed their utter astonishment.
The daytime reports had caused quite a stir.
Even these reporters present believed in those reports, thinking that Karen had called them overtonight to issue a clarification statement.
However, that clarification statement definitely would not have much convincing evidence. They eventhought Silas would not show up.
However, he was in front of them now...
Not only did he appear, but he also seemed perfectly fine. He did not appear to have been beaten up.
"Mr. Gray?" a reporter tentatively asked.
"Yes, I'm here to clarify something. The reports circulating online during the day are all false. Mypresence here now serves as the strongest evidence to debunk those claims,” said 'Silas'.
The reporters still refused to believe it and directly asked, "What about the recording in the report?"
"The recording? Are you referring to those painful screams? Firstly, that voice isn't mine. Secondly,while the sound is real, it's actually from a movie. After the press conference, I was sitting here..." Hepointed at the couch and continued, "...and watching a movie."
"Watching a movie?" The reporters did not believe it. "Why were you sitting in Mallory Estate andenjoying a movie, given that you don't have a good relationship with Madam Mallory?”
"It was because I threatened Madam Mallory. I told her that if she didn't provide me withaccommodation, I wouldn't help clarify. I admit I was wrong in this matter and have realized mymistake.
"But I didn't expect that watching a movie would lead to such a big misunderstanding. That’s why I'mhere in front of all of you to set the record straight. Let's put this matter to rest," explained 'Silas'.
At the same time, he did not shy away when he was facing the cameras, allowing them to take photos.
He had confidence in his disguise skills.
As Karen listened to his explanation, she felt slightly dissatisfied. However, it was not the time to speakup now.
Even though she was dissatisfied with his explanation, she could not deny that the matter wasresolved.
The reporters asked two more questions, and 'Silas' answered them all.
He took all the blame upon himself while clearing Karen's name.
After the matter was resolved and the reporters left, the man removed his disguise and prepared toleave.
Karen sat in the living room, waiting for him. When she saw him coming downstairs, she asked, "Whydidn't you say that the recording released by the reporter was fake?"
"Why do you still want to go against Luke after the last two incidents?" The man looked at her. Therewas a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Karen was stunned for a moment. She did not want to go against Luke, but she also felt unhappy.
Luke had set up so many traps for her. If it were not for Pierre, this matter would not have beenresolved easily.
Now that it was resolved, she could not get back at him, and it left her feeling really frustrated.
"Honestly, you don't have the strength to go against Luke. If you did things according to your plan,when the reporters asked me what movie I watched, do you think there'd be a movie with the samesound frequency as Silas' screams?" questioned the man.
