Chapter 4 Staring into the Abyss

The maid was instantly terrified, her eyes widened, and a scream choked in her throat.

The gate of the courtyard slowly opened and was pushed in from the outside.

Several bodyguards walked in first, stood solemnly on both sides, and bowed their heads in salute.

On the ground, a tall and straight shadow gradually appeared. Tyler Lee took long steps and stepped into the rose garden expressionlessly. Just after taking a few steps, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky.

The bodyguards drew their guns instantly and charged forward.

Tyler Lee instinctively raised his hand, and the thin girl fell steadily into his arms. The impact made him step back slightly, and the hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind, drawing an elegant arc.

On the wall, petals fluttered. He lowered his head, his eyes deep and gloomy, staring at the girl in his arms. She was wearing a thin nightgown, curled up on his chest, her fair face without any fear of falling from a high altitude, just staring at him blankly with her almond eyes.

She bit her nails unconsciously, and the nail on her thumb was bitten into a bumpy shape.

"Oh my goodness, little ancestor! What's wrong with you? That's not how you play on a swing!"

Two maids hurriedly ran out of the building. When they saw Tyler Lee, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and they stood there trembling, "Master, Master."

“…”

Sophia bit her nails quietly and submissively.

She wasn't really crazy.

However, before she knew the real purpose of being taken away from Wind Island, she had to pretend to be sick in order to survive. Otherwise , if the legendary cruel and ruthless Tyler Lee saw through her disguise, no one could predict what a miserable end she would end up with.

After three years of struggling in the slums, she knows how to survive.

However, to her surprise, Tyler Lee actually caught her and not only did he catch her, he also did not immediately throw her away.

She was even prepared to fall to the ground and break her bones.

“Is this how you take care of people?”

A cold and unhappy voice sounded above Sophia's head.

The next moment, Tyler Lee raised his leg and kicked a maid to the ground, his eyes full of viciousness and violence.

The maid lay on the ground, not daring to get up or argue, but just kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, Master, I'm sorry, it's all our fault."

" Don't let me see these two pieces of trash again!"

Every word Tyler Lee said revealed deep disgust.

"Yes, I will fire them immediately."

A voice sounded nearby, and Sophia remembered it was Martin's voice.

Tyler Lee withdrew his gaze with a sullen face, and strode towards the inner room with Sophia in his arms.

Martin looked at Tyler Lee's indifferent back, then turned to look at the bodyguards, "From now on, when Tyler Lee comes, you will wait here, and you don't have to go into the building to serve him."

"yes."

The bodyguards responded in unison, their voices deafening.

Sophia captured this sentence keenly.

When Tyler Lee comes over later...

So, she would stay here? Why? What did the president of this big conglomerate want from her, a "mentally ill person"?

Sophia bit her nails, her heart full of doubts.

Tyler Lee carried her into the house, gently placed her on the sofa in the hall, then lifted his coat and sat down at the coffee table, facing her.

Only then did Sophia notice that there was a lifelike deer head tattooed on the base of his right hand.

The deer, which should have been docile, looked arrogant and domineering on his skin.

His long fingers suddenly grasped her chin, forcing her to look up for his inspection.

His pair of strange gray eyes stared at her, full of viciousness and without any kindness.

Sophia remained expressionless, not daring to show any emotion.

Tyler Lee finally let her go until his jaw was almost broken . His voice was terribly low and deep, "She looks just like her."

And her?

who?

An enemy? Or an old lover?
