Serve him right. After all, he was the one who carried her to his bed; she was pretty certain she didn't wander there herself.
Without uttering a word, she finished her breakfast and headed to school.
Ever since that day, Carter had been absent from the villa for several days. Sabrina had grown accustomed to it and didn't question him; she just focused on her schoolwork and her comic books.
***
In Melfort that afternoon, Kyler heard from Addison that Kendra had been called to Andersen Corporation by Magnus again.
Concerned for Kendra's safety, he hurriedly made his way to Andersen Corporation.
However, when he requested to see Magnus, he was stopped by Magnus' secretary at the entrance of the CEO's office.
With no other options, a desperate Kyler headed to Maplewood Manor to seek help from Natalia.
He knew that Kendra's actions often caused distress for Natalia, b
ut Kendra was his biological daughter. He couldn't just turn a blind eye if something happened to her, could he?
After all, wasn't Magnus fond of Natalia? Her words carry more weight than theirs.
Natalia, who had been reading medical books in her room, was informed by a servant that Kyler had come to see her.
She had a hunch about why Kyler might be here.
But she owed Kyler a lot - she wouldn't have survived till now if it wasn't for him. She might have starved to death.
So, regardless of the situation, Natalia couldn't refuse to see him. Thus, she made her way downstairs to meet Kyler.
"Dad, what brings you here?" she asked. Maplewood Manor wasn't a place that just anyone could enter.
She had been married to the Sapphire Island for quite a while and had moved to Maplewood Manor some time ago. Even though Addison and Natalia had visited her numerous times to cause trouble, her father had never visited her.
Just thinking about it made Natalia's heart ache.
Kyler was taken aback by Natalia's drastic change in attitude towards him after just a few months.
He was slightly hurt, but recalling Kendra's precarious situation, he swallowed his sorrow and said, "Natalia, please help your sister. I know you might be upset with me for asking this, but she's in real danger. If you don't help her, she might die."
He still vividly remembered how ruthlessly Magnus had treated Kendra last time.
If he wasn't around and Magnus decided to harm Kendra again, and Kendra remained as stubborn as ever, wouldn't she be doomed? The thought sent chills down his spine.
"My sister? You think she deserves to be my sister?" Natalia raised an eyebrow when she heard Kyler's plea. She hadn't expected Kendra to approach Magnus again. She was truly relentless.
