Chap 4: Adam Villa

She glanced around, walking quickly on the cobblestone path. Suddenly, she felt a force pulling her back, Bernie's big hand squeezed Scarlet's elbow. She took a deep breath, feeling the pain travel from her elbow to her brain.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Scarlet could not help but shout.

Despite Scarlet's resistance, he still pulled her back, seeing the villa getting farther and farther away, she broke free from his control.

"Hey, don't consider me as a soft persimmon and then you can be tormented me anytime."

Bernie stopped, he turned to face her, his face full of boredom. His current mood was extremely secret, he did not want to face this woman for a second. Nobody can know what he had gone through the whole way from the Hospital to Adam's mansion. She was like a talking machine, rambling on and on. The words she said were like thorns piercing his throat, he had no reason to refute her, but he couldn't use violence to make this mouth shut. This feeling that few people can understand.

Bernie took a deep breath, his words hissing through his teeth.

"From now, you can only live in the west block, absolutely do not put your foot in the main house without my permission."

Scarlet was stunned, she tried to search through the memories of the West block in her mind. According to her knowledge, that block is a complex located separate from the main house, the main house, that building is extremely deserted all year round without a single person, maybe it's just the servants. The lady was sent to clean the toilet.

Scarlet lowered her head, she knew what these people were planning, weren't they trying to imprison her in a disguise?

Scarlet coldly snorted, she jerked Bernie's dirty arm, her eyes full of disgust.

"The western block? Ha, I can go on by myself. I don't dare to bother, Bitchy."

Then she turned and walked away, her steps were full of waste, her back was straight, her face was cold, neither angry nor sad, everything to her was like a gentle breeze.

Bernie stared at her back for a long time, a complicated feeling in his heart.

"Kit"

The sound of the wooden door resounded with the sounds that made people's brains prickle, Scarlet put all her strength into pushing the door, the light from outside illuminated every corner of the building.

She glanced around, clearly feeling the desolation of this forbidden land. The stickers were peeling off in patches, on the ceiling, and cobwebs spread all over the path. There is a thin layer of dust on the floor, the items in the room are inherently luxurious, but they are cold and scary.

According to Bernie Harris's memory, this place was originally the first villa of the Miller family, then it was still an emerging family with a little reputation in the world. Everything presented here, though not the most expensive, was the most precious thing that their family had. Later, when Mr.Miller sat on the chair of the head of the family, under his guidance, the Miller family grew from a small family with a low throat and became one of the four greatest families in the capital.

Since then, they also decided to move to the main house to live, and the place that was originally the source of the Luc family was seen by them as an insult and humiliation of the family.

That's right, how can such a famous and wealthy family live in such a dilapidated house, even if it was the place where they were raised, so what? Under the whirlpool of fame, everything becomes a pile of discarded paper.

Scarlet sighed, she gently rolled up her sleeves, casually picked up a broom, and started her cleaning job. She knew for sure that those people wouldn't be so kind as to arrange a place for her, still save herself. She shook her head in disgust, blaming herself for being so instigated.

…

Scarlet fell onto the soft cotton bed, enjoying the feeling of happiness that she had not had for a long time. Why so long? Since the day she sat on the Queen's throne, not a minute had passed that she could live up to her true nature. The responsibility is heavy on her shoulders, every move must be in the frame, even if you just smile, you have to smile a very standard smile, the corners of your lips are curved up to reveal eight straight teeth, eyes glittering, big and round, the smile must be imprinted in the bottom of the eyes. Sometimes she even thought that she was already dead, a slow, quiet death, loneliness gradually gnawed at her soul.

Scarlet looked at the bright neon light outside the window, a magnificent, splendid and famous palace emitting sparkling lights that enchanted people - that place was the main block of the Miller family.

She glanced again at the glimmering yellow light, the small light spots were not strong enough to dispel the thick night, the darkness like a monster that was constantly tearing and devouring the weak lights.

Scarlet closed her eyelids tightly, each memory rushing back to her mind, everything appeared as clear as if it had just happened yesterday.

…

“Mom! Mom! Please don't leave me... Is that okay?"

The child's weak voice resounded, each call to her mother hurt her heart, her tears were filled with tears, her eyes were soon swollen, her bare feet soon bled, the blood mixed into the puddles, penetrating deeply into the ground.

Eudora coldly looked at Adela, those eyes were sharp like knives, deeply embedded in her mind, and after a long time, she still couldn't forget those eyes, a pair of eyes that were too cold and cruel.

“Mom… Do you want to leave me here?”

Adela asked in a low voice, her small hands still clutching the hem of Eudora's shirt, and did not let her go.

It took a long time for Adela to hear Eudora's warm voice coming from the top of her head.
