Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 211 Darling, Is There Any Tribal Ritual You Should Have for Your Husband in Your Tribe?

Sylvester was the only one who understood Lela's gesture. He knew it was a tribal ritual.

Sylvester's eyes glittered with satisfaction. Just as he was about to pull her up, he saw Richael, who was pregnant, quickly reaching out to help Lela stand up from the ground. "Good girl, what are you doing?"

Lela said, "This is my family's tradition."

Sylvester pulled Lela into his arms, asserting his dominance and making her belong to him alone.

Leaning close to Lela's ear, his chest pressed against her back, he said in a husky voice, "Darling, is there any tribal ritual you should have for your husband in your tribe? Is the one you showed to the elders just now the only one?"

If one listened closely, there was a distinct hint of jealousy in his voice.

Lela's lips twitched. She thought, 'Men are easy to get jealous.'

Lela ignored him, but Sylvester wasn't annoyed. He continued to pester her and even began to complain, "You are not the kind who a bracelet can buy, are you? Honey, your taste is getting worse. I have given you everything, but I haven't received any special treatment from you."

...

Lela thought, 'Sylvester must be blind. I had given him a lot of special treatment, hadn't I?'

"Tell me right now. Is there really one?"

Lela pushed Sylvester and whispered, "Elvis and Richael are watching."

"I didn't see anything," said Richael and Elvis in unison.

Lela blushed and was lost for words.

"Tell me. If you don't... well, you know what will happen."

Lela took a deep breath and whispered again, "I'll tell you tonight, okay?"

Sylvester was happy to hear that and reached out to pinch her soft face. "Good, I'll wait. Honey, don't disappoint me."

Lela clenched her hand and stayed silent.

They were happy and full of warmth.

The members of the Stewart family, however, knelt on the ground, their faces full of tears.

Jyri was also shrewd. Having worked in the business world for so many years, he understood that if he wanted Sylvester to drop the charges, he needed to obtain forgiveness from Lela.

Jyri knelt in front of Lela, his face full of sorrow. "Miss, the Stewart family begs for your forgiveness. My son did something wrong and deserved to be in jail, but the entire Stewart family shouldn't be implicated. Please spare the entire Stewart family."

Victor had been taken to the police station. Jyri knew that the evidence must have been laid out in front of the police. Otherwise, the police wouldn't detain Victor. Jyri knew well that it would be a loss to his family if Victor's mistake implicated the family.

Moreover, if the Stewart family fell, his son would never have a chance to get out in his lifetime.

The entire Stewart family would be finished.

In the capital world, wealth and power mattered more. The Stewart family couldn't compete with the Sylvesters in these aspects.

Being ignored, Jyri gritted his teeth and took out a blank check. "I know Mr. Gomez doesn't lack money. This blank check is a gift for you, Miss. I hope you can go easy on us. If the law firm drops the lawsuit, the Stewart family will offer even more generous rewards."

Lela leaned on Sylvester's shoulder, clinging to him, "Sylvester, he looked down on me."

Sylvester held the empty check and sneered, "You are really generous, but that is not enough to please my girlfriend."

Jyri was truly panicked and started kowtowing.

He knocked his head so hard that his forehead started bleeding.

Jyri was indeed a tough guy.
