Sophie stood there in shock, not knowing how to handle the
unexpected and intimate scene before her. She quickly moved closer to
Tyler, who was standing near the doorway.
âMr. Tyler, Olivia got drunk, and she wouldn't let my brother go,â Sophie
explained frantically. âWe went to buy medicine to help her sober up,
but my brother had no choice but to put her in bed in this position.â
Tyler remained silent, his gaze still cold and unyielding.
Claude, on the other hand, observed the man standing in the doorway.
He noticed Tyler's cold stare
and Sophie's panicked explanations.
Tyler finally spoke up, his voice icy. âAre you done staring?â
Claude didn't expect to see Tyler here. However, he didnât panic to
meet the person he had not seen for a long time. He calmly replied,
"Sheâs drunk.â
Tyler's cold eyes didn't waver. âYou couldn't keep your eyes off her
earlier.â
Sophie was growing increasingly anxious, unable to find a way to
resolve the situation. She wanted to speak up on Claude's behalf.
Without further hesitation, Tyler reached out his arms. âGive her to me.
Sorry to have troubled you.â He maintained a coldly courteous
expression.
Claude, somewhat surprised to see Tyler personally picking up Olivia in
the middle of the night, realized that she must hold significant
importance to him. He smiled suddenly, a bright and friendly smile. âIt's
been a while, Tyler.â
Tyler looked at Claude, who had disappeared for a couple of years,
and said flatly, âIndeed, it has.â
Claude gently placed Olivia's hand down and lifted her from the bed.
He carried her toward the door and handed her over to Tyler, who took
her into his arms.
Olivia instinctively stirred slightly in his embrace, but Tyler held her
firmly, his gaze
than ever.
Claude noticed this tension but remained silent. Tyler, with Olivia in his
arms, looked at Sophie and said, âI'll be taking her with me.â
Sophie, knowing her fatherâs close connection with Tyler's family, didnât
want to offend him and was still recovering from the shocking scene
she had witnessed. She replied shakily, âO-Okay, Mr. Tyler. Please
take care of her.â
With that, Tyler left the room, still expressionless, and made his way
toward the elevator, where the
driver awaited him.
Claude stepped out of the suite, standing at the door as he continued
to watch Tyler.
Tyler turned around after going into the elevator. He was staring at
Claude too.

The tension between the two men was palpable, but they both
eventually averted their gazes as the elevator doors closed, leaving the
tension behind.
Once Tyler and Olivia were gone, only Sophie and Claude remained in
the suite. Claude suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, âThat girl
seems important to Tyler.â
âOf course! She's Naomi's sister,â Sophie replied.
Claude didn't press the matter further, his eyes becoming gentler.
"Hmm."
Then, he noticed a few police officers in the corridor. He couldn't
believe that Tyler had sent the
authorities to look for Olivia.
Naturally, Sophie and the rest didnât notice the commotion.
