CHAPTER 491
Chapter 491 It Is an Inside Job!
“There’s no need to regret it.” Simon hugged her from behind and placed his palm on her abdomen. “You are the only ones that matter to me now.”
In terms of blood relations, the Palmer family was very close to him. They were his family. However, ever since he was young, he had never felt any warmth in the Palmer family. The only attention was from his grandpa, which he had earned on his own.
Later on, he had already been disappointed by what his family had done for wealth and status. The things that the people of the Palmer family had done had already thoroughly disappointed him. Now for him, what he valued the most was the people in front of him.
Silvia wanted to say something when his phone rang. “Hello?” Simon picked it up.
He did not say much, but his face became serious, and he loosened his hand around her unconsciously. Silvia glanced at him, then pretended to get up to get some water so that he could
talk at will.
By the time she came back after drinking water and resting for a while, Simon had already finished the call. He looked at her hesitantly.
“What’s wrong?” asked Silvia.
“I have to go back to the old house tomorrow,” he said.
“You changed your mind?” Silvia thought that he had changed his mind and planned to invite the people of the Palmer family to the wedding banquet.
“No, I have something else to do.” Simon shook his head and said, “You have a good rest at home. for the next few days. The preparations for the wedding are almost done, so don’t go out anymore.
If you feel bored, let Winnie come and be with you.”
His words confused Silvia. She felt that Simon’s words were meaningful.
“I might be a little busy these days. When I’m done with this, I’ll be able to spend time with you.”
Simon patted her on the shoulder as he said thoughtfully.
Although he was acting very calm, Silvia felt that he was trying to hide something after he
answered the call.
“Did something happen?” she asked carefully, “I can’t go out?”
“Don’t think too much.” He leaned over and gently kissed her forehead. “You are pregnant now, so you should be extra careful.”
Since he didn’t want to say it, Silvia didn’t ask anymore. She obediently nodded and said, “I know.”
“You can’t secretly develop new products behind my back. Put everything aside for now. Your main task is to rest,” Simon said worriedly, afraid that she would be busy with something new with her
restless personality.
“Alright! I haven’t accepted any new jobs recently. All I left are old finished products. I’ll let the other people in the studio finish them. I haven’t accepted any orders recently, and only picked a few for
Winnie to do.” Silvia said.
“She can complete it herself?”,
“Don’t look down on her. She was capable of it. Although she may be a little less talented, she has always worked hard and is solid in both theory and experience. I don’t think she can just be an assistant all her life. Now that there is an opportunity, I picked a few easy tasks and gave her a try.”
After all, although she had temporarily rested, the studio could not go out of business. They must continue their regular business.
Simon nodded. He had always respected her opinion.
He was about to ask her to rest early when he thought of something, “By the way, recently you…”
After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “You haven’t done exercises anymore, have you?”
“Doing exercises?” Silvia repeated.
“I’m afraid you wouldn’t rest,” Simon said baldly as he gently stroked her abdomen. “It’s not good to do too much exercise recently.”
“Okay!” She pushed him away and smiled, “You’re so wordy! I didn’t see it before! Plus, I’m starting to wonder whether you care about me or the baby I’m carrying… Simon, I will be jealous!”
“Of course, I care about you both. You are all my treasures!” He smiled, took her into his arms, and owns this text.
kissed her again and again.
She was his treasure, and he would protect her from all harm!
Simon secretly made up his mind.
In the old house of the Palmer family..
Early in the morning, something happened here. The house was burgled.
The house had obviously been ransacked, but no thieves were caught, and nothing of value
seemed to be missing. Everyone was checking their belongings to see if anything was missing or not. Another group of people was checking the surveillance cameras.
This was truly terrifying!
The thief sneaked into the old house silently. The surveillance cameras did not capture any clues, and no one noticed any abnormality. However, almost everyone’s bedroom had been ransacked, and they did not even notice.
It was easy for the thief to kill all of them last night. It was extremely scary just to think about it. Simon’s grandma had been yelling about calling the police since early morning, and she also wanted people to investigate thoroughly and heighten security measures.
Simon entered the door and saw all the people in the room gathering together, talking.
It was rare to see this.
It had been a long time since he had seen so many members of the Palmer family, but now, they were gathering together because of something like this. It was ridiculous.
“Simon, you’ve got to get to the bottom of this. It would be humiliating for you!” When Litzy saw him, she hurriedly greeted him and said..
Her room, which was at the end of the corridor, had been ransacked. When she got up in the morning and saw that her closet was open, she thought that she had forgotten to close it the night before. But then she realized that the house was broken into and screamed in horror.
Later, the people of the Palmer family found their room was broken into, and things got serious.
Bridger was the one who was worried the most.
He had already asked Paisley to come and discuss their marriage today. He did not expect that such a thing would happen at home overnight. He knew that the matter must be investigated. After all, it was horrible. But now the whole family was in a mess. He was afraid that the fussy girl
would find fault with him when she saw the scene at home.
“Was there a thief in the house?” Simon said in a deep voice.
In fact, he had already received a call from Freddie last night.
“I don’t know who’s brave enough to steal from our house. Bridger, have you called the police?”
Bridger frowned and was very annoyed, “Yes, but it is useless! Even the surveillance at home can’t capture the thief. I don’t know what this camera is for! If you ask me, there’s no way a common thief could be so adept at avoiding surveillance and not getting noticed!”
“Bridger, what do you mean by that?” Miley was frightened and had been sitting on the sofa to calm down. Hearing her son’s words, she frowned and asked.
“Mom, have I not made myself clear enough? To be able to avoid all the surveillance and not let anyone notice, I’m afraid he is not a common thief. It is an inside job!” He looked at Simon meaningfully, “All of our rooms have been ransacked, and the thief didn’t steal our money, nor did he try to kill us. Then what was his purpose?”
