The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1954

Finally, Kurt nodded without saying a word.

"In that case, do you want to inform your parents? Since the police chief mentioned that Interpol is also investigating it, I'm worried that it might be connected to a major case. As a result, telling your dad might make things easier for ourselves.”

"What about my mom?" Ian asked as he stared at the glass in his hand with a grim look in his eyes.

How is Mom going to react when she finds out? Brandon was one of the few people she was close to within the Hayes family. Subsequently her best friend, Willow, even married him, although their marriage ended in tragedy. Later on, she was comforted by the fact that Uncle Brandon raised Nat by himself. Therefore, she would be devastated if she learns of Uncle Brandon's murder and the fact that Nat has become a pitiful orphan.

Hence, Ian didn't feel like informing his parents for the time being.

Kurt, having seen Ian's response, had no choice but to concur with the latter's decision. Nevertheless, he took precautions by transferring a few more men over from SteelFort once they headed back.

As the kidneys were in Southeast Astoria, comprehensive preparations were needed.

Meanwhile, at Tilan Palace, Southeast Astoria, Theo was in his room when Hugo returned. There, he listened to the voices that the bug he had secretly installed picked up.

"Has the police in Yartran closed the case?"

"Yes. After paying off the fool with a sum of money, he's agreed to take on all the charges. Also, there's more good news. The police didn't reveal the cause of the actor's death."

Zylan's voice, tinged with elation, rang out.

Upon hearing the report, Hugo sighed in relief.

"They have probably discovered his relationship with the Hayes family too. Now that the matter involves that person, they would naturally want to cover it up. Let's monitor the situation for now."

"Yes, Mr. Tilan," Zylan acknowledged at once.

A short while later, the sound of footsteps walking out preceded the silence that descended upon the penthouse.

Just when Theo was planning to turn off his earpiece...

Bam!

All of a sudden, the door behind him was kicked open. The loud crack that resulted sounded especially jarring as it pierced the quiet of the night.

Theo's expression immediately darkened as he turned around to look at the intruder.

"Who gave you permission to return here? Did no one teach you about the protocols for a bodyguard upon arriving at Tilan Palace?"

The intruder turned out to be Rosalie.

She was standing by the door, her eyes spitting fire. Under the dim light of the night, the scowl on her face showed how much she wanted to tear him to pieces.

At the sight of her, Theo began to calm down.

"Sorry. I'm new, so I don't know anything."

"You..."

Infuriated, she stormed into the room and swung the baseball bat in her hands right at him.

No one has ever dared speak to me this way in Tilan Palace! Did his cheek come from the fact that I saved him yesterday? Is that why he doesn't fear me and shows no respect?

"Fine. Let me teach you today about the duties of a bodyguard!"

The instant the baseball bat was raised high in the air, a vicious glint flashed across the young bodyguard's eyes as the urge to kick Rosalie away welled up inside him.

After all, no one had ever dared to behave so brazenly in front of him.

But in the end, he forcefully suppressed the anger inside him and allowed the bat to strike his hip.

"Ooof..." he grunted.

The impact stunned Rosalie, who hadn't expected Theo to not move a muscle.

All this while, the bodyguards she had encountered were the sly kind. Whenever she wanted to teach them a lesson, they would drop to their knees to beg for mercy or bend their waists to evade her strike.

Despite the fact that she was the only one among her siblings considered an official Tilan child, anyone could bully her in reality.

Just like that, Rosalie, with anger raging within her, froze on the spot. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

After the pain from the strike had passed, Theo quickly recovered the expressionless look on his face.

He then requested professionally, "Ms. Rosalie, do you feel better now? If you do, I'll get a fresh change of clothes and escort you back down."

Stumped by his response, Rosalie was now made to feel worse than when she first stormed into the room in anger.

Nonetheless, she decided to leave the room in the end.

A few minutes later, Theo, after changing into clean clothes, emerged looking dapper, especially after putting on a pair of sunglasses on that handsome face of his.

"Let's go, Ms. Rosalie."

With that, Rosalie sauntered away, ignoring the faint stench of blood in the air.

Upon arriving at Rose Garden, they were greeted by the supper and medication prepared by the housemaid, who hurried up to Rosalie's side at the sight of her.

"Ms. Rosalie, welcome back. We have prepared medication for you. Once you have finished your supper, I can help you apply it."

"There's no such need," Rosalie declined with a scowl on her face before sitting down at the table stiffly. No sooner had she picked up her spoon and opened her mouth to eat than the sound of her gasping was heard.

Both the housemaid and Theo were taken aback.

It was then that Theo, standing at attention underneath the living room light, finally noticed the swelling on Rosalie's face. In fact, there was also a wound at the corner of her lips.

Was she beaten up in school today?

Theo pursed his lips in thought.q
