    Chapter 142 The Unknown Culprit


    It was no wonder that Gianna was so cold and resolute on the stage that day. How disappointed must


    she be to burst into a rage? In that instant, Ss felt guilty for failing in his attempt to find out the culprit


    as he remained silent and looked at her. Gianna frowned and wondered why the garrulous Landon


    never asked her any question. When she doubtfully lowered her arm and saw the tall man by the bed,


    she was stunned. It’s no wonder that Landon never said a word. He isn’t here at all! “Shouldn’t you be


    busy today? Why are you here?” Without saying a word, Ss directly took a seat beside the bed. “I’m


    done with work.” Gazing at him, Gianna questioned doubtfully, “Have you found the driver?” Ss took


    a deep breath helplessly and answered, “Yes, the driver confessed that it was Luca who told him to do


    that. However, when I got to Luca, he was found dead in his house.”


    Hearing that, Gianna was bbergasted. “He’s dead? Who did it?”


    Ss replied, “On the surface, his death was caused by an overdose of stimnts.” Gianna finished his


    words for him, “But in reality, someone killed him and shifted the me to him.” He shed a smile at


    her. As an intelligent woman, she could figure it out even if he never said it clearly.


    Giannaughed in self-mockery. “Who is so resentful of me to the point where the person wants me


    dead?” Her inadvertent words stunned Ss as he suddenly recalled what Brian said to him. If you


    want her to be safe, stay away from her. But… Will she really be safe if I stay away from her? Since the


    culprit wasn’t arrested yet, there was still hidden danger. Gianna was exposed, while the culprit was still


    hidden. It wasn’t certain when the person would harm Gianna again. Could I really protect her? “It’s


    because of me that you’ve fallen into danger!” Gianna didn’t know how to respond to his sudden self-


    me. Why does he start ming himself when I’m not harmed yet?


    “Do you know who did it?” Ss shook his head. Although he was suspicious of a few people, it was


    pointless since he had no concrete evidence. Gianna consoled, “Don’t me yourself yet since we


    don’t know who the culprit is. In fact, I have many enemies as well. Since the person is afraid of our


    investigation, I don’t think he is very bold, so you don’t have to be worried!” Worried? I suppose he’s


    worried about me, hence his apologetic gaze. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Ss shed a smile at her. Why is she such a good person? “Aren’t you afraid?” Gianna snorted


    fearlessly, “Why should I be afraid? I’m not a pushover, okay?”


    Ss nodded and replied seriously, “No, you’re not a pushover. Don’t worry. I’ll stand by your side:


    Gianna burst intoughter. “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m sure.”


    Ss smiled at her and remarked, “Please smile more. You look great when you smile.”


    Gianna pursed her lips in embarrassment. What does he mean by this? Why does he keep saying such


    intimate-sounding words to me?


    “Where’s Landon?”


    Ss replied, “I told him to go back as he has to fetch the kidter.”


    Gianna mumbled and fell into silence, which caused the conversation to end just like this. A whileter,


    she said, “Mr. Nn, please go back as Kate will arrive shortly. Moreover, I’m fine now, so you don’t


    have to be worried.” Ss took a deep breath. Why does she always chase me away? “It’s fine. I will


    leave when she arrives.” Gianna thought to herself that if he stayed there any longer, she would be


    utterly embarrassed. “Do you want to eat an apple? I will peel it for you.” Ss held an apple in his hand


    and inquired.


    Hearing that, Gianna’s lips curved into a smile as she recalled the first time Ss peeled an apple for


    her kid at her home. The apple turned out to be a mess. Does he seriously want to peel an apple for


    me now?
