Chapter 397


    Alexander entered the room and shielded Sophia. “Did he hurt you?” he asked.


    Sophia shook her head and smiled after taking a nce at Tyler, who was gritting his teeth in pain on


    the ground. “No. However, I think I''ve hurt Mr. Tyler.”


    After all, she struck his waist with all her might.


    Upon hearing that, Alexander shot Tyler a cold look andunched a kick at him.


    “Ouch! Have you gone mad, Alexander?” Tyler was still in pain after getting beaten up by Sophia. Yet,


    Alexander hadnded a heavy kick on his shoulder. Although it wasn''t a life-threatening kick, it was


    hard enough to almost knock Tyler unconscious.


    While holding his shoulder, Tyler leaned against the wall and slowly rose to his feet. When he saw


    Alexander''s vicious gaze, however, he couldn''t help but shudder. Alexander looks like he wants me


    dead!


    Tyler suddenly felt terrified, and when he saw there were people behind Alexander, he called out, “Are


    you guys blind? Can''t you see what he''s doing? He''s about to kill me! Call the police!”


    The staff who followed Alexander there turned to look at Alexander sheepishly after hearing what Tyler


    said.

    Although Tyler was an esteemed guest at the hotel, Alexander was their most valued guest. If they had


    to choose to side with one of them, they would rather cross Tyler than Alexander.


    Therefore, the staff didn''t dare to call the police when Tyler told them to.


    Right then, Alexander snorted and turned toward Sophia. “What did he want to do just now?”


    Sophia smiled. “Mr. Tyler wanted me to drink something.”


    She then paused for a second and added, “However, I never liked drinking something given by others,


    so I forced him to down it instead.”


    Alexander knew what Sophia meant right away. Tyler gave Sophia weird looks the past few times they


    met. With Dillon''s current situation, I didn''t expect Tyler to have the balls to go after Sophia. Obviously,


    I''m not going to hand him over to the police because the police are only going to keep him locked up


    for a couple of days for his offense. That''s far less than what he deserves.


    With that in mind, Alexander gazed at the hotel staff and said, “He''s my cousin, so this is a private


    matter I need to deal with. You guys may go back to your duties.”


    Since Alexander had already said it was a private matter, the hotel staff no longer dared to stay.


    Tyler got scared when he heard what Alexander said and instinctively walked toward the exit. However,


    after just taking two steps, he was sent crashing back against the wall after Alexander kicked a chair


    toward him.


    Tyler grew anxious and shouted at the staff, who had already walked off, “Come back, you guys! Come


    back!”


    The staff pretended as though they didn''t hear him and kept walking without turning back.


    Alexander then mmed the door shut. He mmed the door so hard that even the wall Tyler was


    leaning against shook a little.


    One of the staff heard the loud banging sound and couldn''t help but turn back. Seeing that the door


    was mmed shut, he turned toward the hotel manager next to him and asked, “Nothing bad is going


    to happen, right?”


    The hotel manager red at him and fumed, “Do you take Mr. Xenos for a fool? Nothing''s going to


    happen. You''d better keep your mouth shut about what happened this evening. If this gets out, you''ll


    get fired!”


    The employee was shivering all over when he promised the manager he wouldn''t tell a soul about what


    happened.


    Meanwhile, Tyler was retreating along the wall when he saw Alexander close the door. While looking at


    the look in Alexander''s eyes and the smug expression Sophia was wearing, Tyler uttered, “Alex, I''m


    your cousin. Don''t act rashly!”


    “Cousin?” Alexander scoffed and scanned the private room. He saw a wine cab with a few bottles


    of wine on it nearby and walked toward it. After grabbing a bottle, he turned around and smashed it


    toward Tyler.


    “Alexander!” Tyler lifted his arm in fear to shield himself. In the next second, he heard the sound of the


    bottle shattering.


    The bottle didn''tnd on his body. Instead, it was smashed against the wall next to his head.


    Tyler breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the wine off of his face. Right when he was about to talk, he


    raised his gaze and met Alexander''s gaze. He froze and stammered, “D-Don''t do anything crazy,


    Alexander! Murder is a serious crime!”


    Alexander was holding the broken ss bottle against Tyler.


    Tyler went pale and slumped onto the ground after his knees gave in. “I-I didn''t do anything! C-Calm


    down! I was merely scaring Sophia! Alex, I''m your cousin! Don''t act rashly! You won''t achieve anything


    by killing me! You still have a bright future ahead! Why would you ruin your future for a piece of trash


    like me?”


    Tyler was on the verge of peeing his pants because Alexander had a horrifying look on his face.


    Alexander then grabbed Tyler''s cor and lifted him up. While pressing the sharp broken bottle against


    Tyler''s carotid artery, he asked, “Didn''t I warn you before? Didn''t I ask you to stay away from Sophia?”


    “Yes! Yes! I lost my rationality just now! I was wrong! Alex, I understand I was wrong! I really didn''t do


    anything to Sophia. If you don''t believe me, you may ask Sophia!” Tyler knew he couldn''t convince


    Alexander to let him go, so Tyler turned toward Sophia and said, “I''m sorry, Sophia! I''m sorry! Please


    ask him to put the broken ss bottle away! Killing someone is a crime!”


    Sophia swept a nce at Tyler and pulled Alexander''s arm. “Let go of the bottle. Don''t hurt yourself.”


    Hearing that, Alexander tossed the bottle away to avoid harming Sophia identally.


    Tyler heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Alexander throw the bottle away. Tyler wanted to escape, but


    Sophia anticipated it. The moment Tyler turned toward the exit, she threw a ss at Tyler''s foot.


    Alexander went ahead and kicked Tyler once more to send him crashing onto the ground.


    “I-I won''t disturb the two of you anymore,” Tyler promised.


    Looking at Tyler, Sophia chuckled and uttered, “Mr. Tyler, I didn''t say I would let you leave.”


    With that, she took a pot of water off the table, went up to Tyler, and poured the water down on him.


    It was a pot of boiling water.


    Sophia didn''t pour it on Tyler''s face, though. Instead, she was pouring it down on Tyler''s back. Tyler''s


    shirt should be able to prevent him from getting burned, but the heat should still be unbearable.


    Sure enough, Tyler started screaming in pain halfway through the torture.


    Tyler wanted to avoid the stream of boiling water, but Alexander would kick him back into ce every


    time he moved.


    Sophia gradually finished pouring the entire pot of water. By then, Tyler''s face was already covered in


    tears. At the same time, the drug in his body was starting to kick in, so his eyes were extremely red.


    Sophia ced the pot back onto the table and looked down at Tyler, who had curled up into a ball on


    the ground. “Mr. Tyler, if you repeat your mistake, your punishment won''t be as light as this.”


    With that, Sophia turned to look at Alexander. “Let''s go.”


    Alexander''s gaze softened when itnded on her. Subsequently, he hummed an acknowledgment, held


    her hand, and left the room with her.


    With his body curled up on the ground, Tyler gritted his teeth as he watched the couple leave. Despite


    feeling angry, he didn''t dare to retaliate. Both Alexander and Sophia are not to be trifled with! I really


    regret my actions now!
