Chapter 264: Pretend we are strangers
Layla frowned to hear the accusation that Sylvia made toward Roger.
"Can you elaborate that?" Layla asked. "Wait. Does Roger know the reason for your hatred for him? And is Lucius aware of this?"
"I never told anyone. I don’t like Roger and my views about him will never change," Sylvia stated stubbornly.
"I think you’ve certain misunderstandings regarding Roger. He is a great guy and a man with a heart of gold. Even your actions bring trouble to everyone around you, but none disrespects you. You may lose people with the way you act," Layla said.
Sylvia didn’t say anything, but only frowned. "I will not have dinner. Don’t disturb me and as you want, I will tomorrow," she asserted before walking away.
Layla sighed, hoping Sylvia would try to change. But so far, it seemed very difficult in her eyes. "I will ask Roger later what exactly transpired between him and Sylvia when they were young," she murmured and went upstairs.
Meanwhile, in the study, Lucius leaned against the mahogany desk, his hands holding its edges.
"Roger, why did you tie her up?" Lucius asked.
"That’s the only way to keep her away from spewing nonsense in front of Zayne and June. I sincerely apologize for that. I should have known the consequences of my actions," Roger said.
"I can’t understand why she hates you so much. Did something happen between you two in the past? Matteo is the one, who brought you home, so I don’t know much about your past with them. I respect your privacy, so I never probed into it," Lucius affirmed, trying to understand the reason behind Sylvia’s such behavior.
"However, I will appreciate if you put some light on it," he added.
