’Archie Sumrs? Mika’s brother?’
If Tristan Grayson had looked murderous before, he now looked like a savage beast ready to kill. He glared viciously at Archie Sumrs, as if Archie was the man who had murdered his father.
The intensity of the glare sent a jolt of fear through Archie Sumrs.
But he had a strong constitution. Even if he felt a flicker of fear, he would never let it show.
Seeing the two n facing off, Mika Sumrs’s heart pounded in her chest. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed her brother’s arm, saying urgently, "Brother, you talk too much! Aren’t you tired?"
"Mika, if you don’t explain everything today, then I’m not tired at all." ’What a joke! This was his own sister’s safety on the line. Could he just ignore it? Of course not. He had to get to the bottom of this.’
Tristan Grayson’s icy voice cut in. "Heh... It really runs in the family." ’Like brother, like sister.’
"What’s that supposed to an?" Archie Sumrs frowned, glaring angrily at Tristan Grayson.
Tristan Grayson’s lips curled into a sneer. "Exactly what it sounds like." ’So her lover boy turned out to be her actual brother. But that didn’t matter. He didn’t recall giving her permission to bring anyone else to stay in the house he’d bought!’
"You..." Even though Archie Sumrs didn’t know what their relationship was, he could tell just from Tristan Grayson’s tone that the man was looking down on them. He clenched his fists, ready to charge forward and beat him to a pulp.
But before he could move, his sister grabbed his arm. "Brother, please, stop asking! I already told you, we’re just roommates. I barely know him. Just go take a shower and get so rest."
"Mika, you should stay away from guys like him. Tomorrow, I’ll help you find a new place." Archie Sumrs said in a huff, then grabbed his suitcase and stalked toward the bathroom.
A mocking smile played on Tristan Grayson’s lips. ’Roommates? Barely know him? This woman’s acting was getting better and better. It was a real waste she wasn’t a professional actress.’
Seeing her brother finally disappear into the bathroom, Mika Sumrs let out a silent sigh. She then forced a smile and said, "Um, I’m sorry about that. My brother is just worried about ."
"Miss Sumrs, it seems you’ve been getting bolder lately. Are you starting to ignore my instructions?" ’He rembered warning her today not to take a single step out of the house, yet not only had she left, but she’d also brought a man back with her.’
Of course, she understood the aning behind Tristan Grayson’s words.
Her expression faltered as she shook her head. "No, that’s not it. I just went to pick up my brother, that’s all."
"I told you, for the duration of our agreent, you are not to leave this place without my permission. And do you think this is a place just anyone can co?" ’Their relationship had just been made public, and here she was, bringing another man to the house. It was a good thing he was the one who saw it. If it had been anyone else, they would have snapped photos, and who knows what kind of story the press would have run with.’
’And the public image he had worked so hard to maintain would be severely damaged by rumors of her cheating.’
Hearing his cold words, Mika Sumrs wasn’t afraid. In fact, she found it utterly absurd. "Young Master Grayson, I think you’re forgetting sothing. This is *my* house now." ’She wondered who it was that transferred the property into her na when they got divorced.’
"Heh..." For a brief mont, Tristan Grayson felt utterly ridiculous. ’He’d actually forgotten that.’
