Chapter 3137
The 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. They could not help but widen their eyes in astonishment. "Wasn't he half-dead just now? How can he suddenly 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 two months of rest. It had not been that long. How could the man who just went in make Silas, who was barely alive, stand up?
"No, it's not the same person! Look, their clothes are different!" Windsor noticed that the person in front of 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. The man 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 but someone 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 had seen 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 intended to 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. | won't tell, | won't say anything.”
"He's really been scared out of his wits," muttered Windsor as he recalled how puzzled Silas was when he 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 picked up 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 later on.
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 he was 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 disguise skills, even without Silas, there would not be any issues in the future.
An idea popped into her mind. Still, it was not the time for such actions. She respectfully said to the man, "The reporters are downstairs."
"Okay. From now on, I'm Silas. Treat me the same way you did during the day," said the man as he pointed at the person inside the bedroom.
Silas listened to their conversation from inside. Waves of despair filled him as he listened to every word. 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 had given 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 sight of 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 over tonight to issue a clarification statement.
However, that clarification statement definitely would not have much convincing evidence. They even thought 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. My presence 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, | was sitting here..." He pointed 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 and enjoying a movie, given that you don't have a good relationship with Madam Mallory?”
"It was because | threatened Madam Mallory. | told her that if she didn't provide me with accommodation, | wouldn't help clarify. | admit | was wrong in this matter and have realized my mistake.
"But | didn't expect that watching a movie would lead to such a big misunderstanding. That's why I'm here 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 speak up now. Even though she was dissatisfied with his explanation, she could not deny that the matter was resolved.
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 to leave.
Karen sat in the living room, waiting for him. When she saw him coming downstairs, she asked, "Why didn'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. There was 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 been resolved 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 | watched, do you think there'd be a movie with the same sound frequency as Silas' screams?" questioned the man.
