Chapter 38 - 37. Royal Squabble
The moment Mason entered the living room, Sarah turned her face away, sneakily so. She cast her gaze downward while glancing at the older sister sitting near her. Biting her lower lip and clenching her jaw slightly, she looked like a frightened cat.
Amber furrowed her brows; what--are you trying to ask me for help? She narrowed her eyes as it finally dawned on her why Sarah took only one, good-looking bodyguard. Was she trying to seek protection? Did she think Mason would back off if he knew she took a fancy to someone else?
She clicked her tongue--what a fool! As if something like that would deter her older brother. He was the kind of person who secretly killed all of his classmates’ goldfish in elementary school because his own goldfish died first.
And she asked Amber for help now? She hadn’t even finished her investigation. Her brother was still her brother, and if this girl thought Amber would turn on him just from what she saw last week, then this girl was truly stupid.
"We’re just talking about Sarah’s new bodyguard, Oppa!" Amber stood up, welcoming her brother and mother. She glanced at Hajin and added with a mocking giggle. "He’s quite an eye-catching one."
"A new bodyguard?" the first wife, clearly knew nothing about the ’audition’ that her son granted the girl she hated, followed her daughter’s gaze to find the dashing man who looked like a celebrity cosplaying as a bodyguard.
If one could be honest, the man looked more like a young master than the other three young masters in the room, especially with those enthralling eyes that clearly showed he had foreign blood.
Not that it mattered; a servant was still a servant, no matter how beautiful they were.
"Yes, Mother," Amber circled her arms around her mother’s elbow, added with a whisper that was still loud enough for everyone to hear. "Isn’t he handsome? Sarah must like him a lot, since she even dressed him differently. Don’t you see that necklace?"
The first wife looked at the black gem and pendant around the bodyguard’s collar, which led her gaze to the dark mark on the man’s neck. She raised her brow and gasped softly, giving Sarah an intrigued glance. "Oh, my..."
"I heard she took that man to a hotel yesterday," Amber added, this time quieter, as if it was a scandal. She giggled in mockery, but her eyes were observing her older brother.
