Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 265 Trenton was falling in love.

Upon hearing this, Sylvester turned towards the source of the voice.

It was a little girl.

After just one glance, Sylvester withdrew his gaze and looked at Trenton lying on the bed. Trenton looked weak all over, and he looked at Sylvester sideways. He greeted, "Sylvester." Sylvester looked at his neck, only to see it swollen with two circular holes.

Sylvester walked over and looked down at the wound, asking, "Did you get bitten by a snake?"

Trenton struggled to sit up, and Sylvester wanted him to lie down. But before Sylvester could say anything, Scarlett stopped him the next second. She leaned over, pressed down on Trenton's shoulders with her hands, and said while staring at him, "What are you doing? You're still injured. Lay down, and don't get up."

Although Scarlett's voice sounded angry, there was obvious concern in her tone.

Sylvester watched them like this, and then he shifted his gaze back to Trenton. Trenton was about to raise his hand, but Scarlett stopped him again. She scolded him, "I said I don't move. You need to lie down."

Trenton was extremely weak and looked at Scarlett. He demanded stubbornly, "Move."

Scarlett still pressed him down angrily. She insisted, "Lie down and have a rest."

Sylvester raised an eyebrow. Having known Trenton for so long, he had never seen him in such a passive state.

Watching their interaction, Sylvester felt their relationship was somewhat special.

Sylvester crossed his arms, leaned against a pillar inside Apricot Grove Yard, looked at Trenton, and asked, "Who is she?"

It was clear what Sylvester meant.

Trenton had never considered love before. He raised his hand to his forehead in frustration. As he proceeded to explain, "She's Scarlett Miller. We fell into the cave together, and I brought her along when I saw her alone. That's all." That's all?

Sylvester raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and then said coldly, "You dare treat my subordinate like this?"

His voice carried a tone of stern authority.

Obviously, this was directed at Scarlett.

Mildred, who was beside them, was a bit surprised to hear this and looked astonishedly at Sylvester.

Sylvester was usually indifferent to everyone, and as long as they didn't cross his bottom line, he didn't care about anything. So why was he treating Scarlett like this now?

Trenton also looked bewildered at Sylvester and thought he was somehow different.

Upon hearing this, Scarlett trembled slightly. She hadn't seen another human for a long time, but she was still afraid deep down.

She could confront fierce beasts fearlessly before and was unafraid of the dark. However, she feared human.

When Scarlett was five years old, she witnessed those people who looked like demons carrying guns and knives invading The Miller Witchcraft Tribe and slaughtering all her tribe members. The tribe was filled with screams, which echoed endlessly.

They even took knives and stabbed the bellies of pregnant tribeswomen, used the blades to lift out the infants inside as if they were trophies, and displayed them on their knives. They were hideous and terrifying.

The psychological trauma from that time had followed Scarlett like a shadow.

She let go of Trenton, slowly stood up straight, and turned to look at Sylvester. This man was very handsome but also very frightening.

Scarlett couldn't help but step back.

Then she pointed at Sylvester and said, "You..."

Sylvester narrowed his eyes. He asked in anticipation, "What about me?"

Scarlett's left hand trembled slightly, and she couldn't find the words to say.

This handsome man exuded a fierce and bloody aura.

And Scarlett couldn't see through his fate.

Trenton looked at Scarlett's trembling hand, quickly reached out to hold it, and then looked at Sylvester with a plea in his eyes. He gently pleaded, "Sylvester, she's just a child. She means no harm." Sylvester thought to himself, 'Is he starting to defend Scarlett now? I haven't done anything yet."

And how could you say that there's nothing going on between the two of you?

Sylvester crossed his arms, and his slender fingers tapped at his elbow. His lips curved into a smile and he teased, "It looks like Trenton has found true love."
