Aurelia was taken aback. That name was all too familiar to her.
Leopold’s half-brother was named Skyler.
From Leopold’s descriptions, Skyler had some intellectual difficulties, much like the man standing in front of her.
Could it really be him? What were the odds?
She studied the man closely. His features were refined and bore a striking resemblance to Leopold.
It had to be him.
His eyes were as pure as a mountain spring, his naive expression mirrored that of an innocent child.
She found it hard to link him to the infamous head of the AK Group, a known ruthless killer.
She swallowed hard, maintaining her composure, not revealing her suspicions.
“Skyler, where do you live? Let me give you a lift,” she offered.
“I live at…” Skyler was about to reveal his address when two men, who looked like bodyguards, rushed over, “Mr. Skyler, there you are! How did you end up here alone?”
“I came out to find Daddy, but I couldn't find him.” Skyler explained.
“We should head back,” one of the bodyguards suggested.
Skyler reached out to Aurelia, “Would you like to come to my house?”
“Sure,” Aurelia nodded, realizing that if she wanted to find out more, she would have to go to his house. She needed to figure out if Skyler was really feeble-minded or just pretending to be.
The bodyguards looked uncomfortable, “Mr. Skyler, we can’t bring strangers back to the hotel.”
Skyler dismissed them with a wave of his hand, “She’s not a stranger. She's the angel who saved Orchid.”
With that, Skyler grabbed Aurelia’s arm and led her towards the hotel, ignoring the bodyguards.
Yuna quickly followed.
Once at the hotel, they headed to the presidential suite.
Skyler was eager to introduce Aurelia to his friends.
