Capítulo 259: Consider pursuing her

Lucius gently tugged on Layla's nose before lowering himself to his knees, bringing his face level with hers.

"Sylvia has always been like that. I understand Matteo's death affected her too, but it hasn't changed her much. She doesn't understand humility. I know you're worried about her after what happened yesterday, but don't expect me to treat her gently," he said firmly.

Layla's brows furrowed. "I think she's scared after what she went through. Did you even ask her how she escaped Carlo's mansion?" she questioned.

"I didn't need to ask. I learned everything from you," Lucius replied, standing up straight. His tone hardened as he added, "Don't trouble yourself over Sylvia. She is a trained woman to tackle all such situations. I've already decided—she can't stay here. I'm thinking of sending her away."
