Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 363 Or I'll Beat You Up

Looking at Charley, Lela smiled at him and said, "Yeah, I'm fine. I didn't think it through."

Charley observed Lela's expression, and said with his eyes filled with concern, "Are you really okay?"

Lela pressed her lips and shook her head, looking at the empty blood vial on the ground. She squatted down and picked it up. "Charley, let's keep this between you and me." It wasn't a big deal, but Sylvester would get worried if he knew.

Charley understood and nodded. "No problem."

Lela held the vial, walked past Charley, and casually threw it into a nearby trash can before leaving.

Charley watched Lela's back, pondered for a long time, then ran over and stood behind her. "Lela."

Lela stopped and glanced sideways. "Anything else?"

Charley raised his finger to scratch his head, unsure of how to start. He knew he shouldn't doubt Lela, but he feared that seeing him like this would make Lela afraid of Sylvester.

Gritting his teeth, Charley asked with determination, "Lela, you saw how I had an episode earlier. I don't know how much Sylvester has told you, but this illness is tough. Will you leave Sylvester because of this?" Charley was scared when he asked this.

Unexpectedly, Lela turned to look at Charley, her face serious, then gently shook her head. "Charley, you underestimate my love for Sylvester."

No matter what Sylvester was like, nothing but death could make her leave him.

Of course, not even death could separate her from Sylvester.

After speaking, Lela raised her finger to rub her temples. "I'm tired. I want to go back to my dorm. Don't let me hear such words again."

With that, Lela turned and left.

Hearing this, Charley felt assured, smiled happily, and ran up to follow Lela. "Lela, it's already late at night. It's not safe for a girl to go back alone. I'll walk you back."

Lela didn't want to argue with him, so she permitted it.

When they returned to the dorm, Susanne was on the phone, and Zoe had told her everything that had happened that night.

When Flora was around, the Harrison family wasn't down and out, and they had servants at home. Susanne was the only spoiled young lady, living a life no different from a princess.

But since Flora died, the Harrison family had been going downhill, and Susanne's life had plummeted.

During her student years, Susanne had never seen such a drastic change. But what could Susanne do?

Antolin was suddenly arrested, and Zoe had no one to rely on. Susanne, crying on the other end of the phone, was annoyed. "Mom, now that Dad has been arrested, what's the use of crying to me? Think about how to bail Dad out." Zoe nodded on the other end. "Yes, I'll find help. Susanne, take care of yourself at school. You're all I got now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Susanne hung up the phone.

She felt extremely frustrated.

Turning around, she saw Lela standing in the hallway, and Susanne was startled. "Are you like a monster or something? Can't even hear you walk?"

Hearing the word "monster," Lela's eyes turned cold. "Watch your mouth, or I'll beat you up."

Even Sylvester didn't call Lela a monster, yet Susanne dared to.

But she didn't want to cause trouble at Holy Light Elite Academy.
