The Beginning Of All Sins

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. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Mr. Tyler, Olivia got drunk, and she wouldn’t let my brother go,” Sophie explained frantically. “We went to buy medicine to help her sober up, but my brother had no choice but to put her in bed in this position.”

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. “Are you done staring?”

Claude didn’t expect to see Tyler here. However, he didn’t panic to meet the person he had not seen for a long time. He calmly replied, “She’s drunk.”

Tyler’s cold eyes didn’t waver. “You couldn’t keep your eyes off her earlier.”

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. “Give her to me. Sorry to have troubled you.” 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. “It’s been a while, Tyler.”

Tyler looked at Claude, who had disappeared for a couple of years, and said flatly, “Indeed, it has.”

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, “I’ll be taking her with me.”

Sophie, knowing her father’s close connection with Tyler’s family, didn’t want to offend him and was still recovering from the shocking scene she had witnessed. She replied shakily, “O–Okay, Mr. Tyler. Please take care of her.”

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, “That girl seems important to Tyler.”

“Of course! She’s Naomi’s sister,” 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 didn’t notice the commotion.
