This scene left everyone else dumbfounded. They actually withdrew their aggressiveness, and none dared to approach anymore.
“Silas! Why is your reaction so slow?”
Silas abruptly turned around to see Axel, hands casually in his trench coat pockets, shaking his head as he walked toward them.
The trash can that this guy had kicked over just now had genuinely scared them.
Still gripping Silas’ suit jacket, Rose slowly opened her reddened eyes. As she raised her pale face, she locked eyes with him.
“Are you….
you… okay?”
Silas lowered his eyes in response to her passionate gaze. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, then pounded like a crazy drum.
‘I’m fine. Let’s get out of here.”
“Get out? You punched our boss. None of you will get out of here!” The bodyguards surrounded them.
again.
“Hey, hey.”
Axel casually swept a glance at them.
“Get it straight. These two foreigners molested my sister-in-law. We’re already letting them off easy by just punching them. It wouldn’t be too much if we ripped their heads off and kicked them like a soccer ball. Why are you guys still making a fuss?”
Sister-in-law?
Rose’s eyes widened. She shyly bit her crimson lips, and her cheeks blushed even more.
Likewise, Silas was taken aback, but he quickly had a second thought.
Setting aside the sister-in-law part, was Axel acknowledging him as his big brother?
He had hit the jackpot!
‘Silas, leave with your lover. I’ll handle things here.” Axel’s eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. He twisted his neck and cracked his knuckles, ready to go all out.
These few days in Solana City, he had been so bored. This time, he finally caught onto his favorite entertainment, so he was excited.
“Can you handle it?” Silas asked with skepticism.
“A man can’t say he can’t.”
Axel casually whistled, looking at Rose trembling in Silas’s arms. “If you don’t trust me, then stay. I’ll leave with her.”
“Byel”
Without any more words, Silas picked Rose up and ran.
“What the fuck? You’re discarding humanity for a woman! When I get back, I’m going to complain to
Jonah and Lyse!”
Axel pointed at Silas’ departing figure and cursed loudly. Yet there was a smile on his face.
Silas hailed a cab outside the bar and carried the now weakened Rose inside.
“Can your friend handle them alone? Let’s call the police. She grabbed his arm. Her thin red dress was already soaked with sweat.
“He’s not my friend. He’s my younger brother, Lyse’s fourth brother.”
Calmly, Silas took off his suit jacket and draped it over Rose.
“Don’t worry. Those few pawns, even if there were ten more of them, wouldn’t be a match for him. He ate too much tonight. You can consider it his way of digesting.
“Madam’s… fourth brother?” Rose stared in shock. “No wonder… his eyes look somewhat like Madam’s, but why do you and him look nothing alike?”
“My mother’s first pregnancy was quadruplets, and I’m the second oldest. I resemble my eldest brother a lot. Axel looks like my third brother. They both take after my mother.”
Normally, Silas would never discuss family matters with others.
However, for some reason, he wanted to satisfy her curiosity. It happened to be a way to divert her attention. She was truly anxious and nervous earlier.
“Oh… so it seems Madam looks half like your mother and half like Mr. Taylor.”
Rose’s eyes sparkled with admiration. “Madam really has inherited the essence of both parents.”
Hearing that, Silas couldn’t help but smile. Suddenly, he noticed that Rose was very thin, even thinner than
Alyssa.
Her beautiful shoulders protruded, making her look like the perfect model for all clothes. However, there was no shortage in areas where there should be flesh.
For some reason, Silas felt a twinge of tenderness. He gradually tightened his grip on her shoulders.
“Who were those two men who bullied you? Why were you with them?”
At his question, Rose suddenly trembled. She leaned back, deliber avoiding his concerned gaze.
“People I know in the business. I haven’t had much contact with them before, so I didn’t know they were this type of person.
“Business? I heard from Lyse that you’re a fashion designer. Don’t you usually draw and use the sewing machine in the studio? Is it necessary to mingle in such places?” Silas’s tone became impatient.
At his words, Rose raised an eyebrow coldly. “Oh, in your eyes, designers are just seamstresses, right? Do we not need to promote our brand and expand our connections?”
“So, you drank with those two foreigners and got drunk? Didn’t you realize their dirty intentions?”
Silas became even more anxious. With red-rimmed eyes, he stared straight at her. “How can you not have any awareness? Or are you just that daring to do anything for the sake of your brand?”
“Yes. After all, I have no one to rely on. I can only rely on myself.” Rose felt indescribably uncomfortable, so she turned her face away and did not look at him.
Noticing her nonchalant attitude, Silas was furious. He forcefully pressed her onto the car seat. “Rely on yourself? By drinking with men and laughing at their stupid jokes?”
“It’s none of your business.” Rose gritted her teeth, feeling a little heartbroken.
“Do you know what would have happened if I had been a bit late? Aren’t you afraid at all? Do you want me to solve a case one day, and the victim turns out to be you?”
“I don’t want to know. Besides, you’re here now. Even if you hadn’t come, I would have found a way to get a to away.”
Biting at her lip, Rose lightly pressed her hands onto Silas’ chest and ruthlessly pushed him away. “Next time you see me, remember to stay far away so you won’t be in trouble.”
“You… You’re simply unreasonable!” Silas was furious, staring at her with red eyes.
“Miss, you better listen. I’ve been working around this nightclub for over two years. I’ve seen many ladies who got drunk and were taken away,” the driver advised kindly, “Your boyfriend is also looking out for you.
A young lady like you shouldn’t be in a place like this.”
“It’s none of your business. Don’t talk,” both Silas and Rose said in unison.
“Alright, alright. Young couples quarrel, I know. I’ve been through this.”
The driver found a way out for himself and then asked. “Uh, since you’re done arguing, where do you want to go?”
T-
Before Rose could speak, Silas preemptively gave an address.
“Where are you taking me?” Rose asked.
“To my house.”
“Silas! This is absolutely outrageous! How can you take me to your house?” Rose blushed with embarrassment.
If it weren’t for him saving her, she would have wanted to punch him in the head.
