Interstellar Businesswoman Tycoon
“Aunt?” Sylvia scanned through her memories and didn't seem to recall anyone called Aunt. “You two poor kids must have been having a hard time living alone. With me here, you won't have to live in such a solitary way anymore.” She reached for the black suitcase next to the kitchen stool and pulled it forward. Seeing her heading towards the staircase, Sylvia immediately walked over and blocked her movement. “What nonsense are you spouting? Get out of my house now!” Whether she was the original owner's aunt or not, Sylvia didn't care. The woman took several steps backwards in shock at Sylvia's fierceness. “You…” She pointed her finger at the young teenager, unable to utter a complete sentence. She didn't expect Sylvia to have such a wild reaction towards her. Her expression instantly turned ugly. “It seems the years of you having no one to teach you right from wrong have turned you into an ill-mannered child. As an elder, I will be the one to teach you how to behave properly.” She lifted her hand, ready to slap Sylvia across the face. But instead of the scream she was expecting, her hand was suddenly stopped in midair, slender fingers clamping firmly around her wrist. “You…” Her eyes widened in shock as she met Sylvia's cold eyes. “How da--” She didn't even get to finish her sentence before she saw her whole self flying backward. “Ahh!” Her entire body crashed onto the ground in a loud thud. What brought an even more agonizing pain was her palm, which was twisted weirdly by the other person. Without care for her image, the woman hollered out in pain. “Ahh! My hand!”Sylvia looked down at the shrieking woman on the floor, her expression unwavering. Without Asher at home, she didn't bother holding back her ferocity at all. “You demon! I'm going to kill you!” Not knowing where she got the strength from, the woman sprang up and charged forward at Sylvia like a crazy wolf. With her still able hand, she swiped her long claw nails forward, aiming directly at Sylvia's face. Her evil intent was very much evident. 'Finally not hiding anymore.' A sneer appeared on Sylvia's lips when she saw the woman's actions. How could a long-lost aunt appear out of nowhere with good intentions? She took a step to the side, evading the woman's attack, and then kicked at her abdomen. “Ptui.” The woman spurted out blood, her body crashing backward against the wall of the room. “Ptui.” She spurted out more blood from the impact and soon went limp. Sylvia could see that she was still conscious and walked over to her, grabbing her by the hair. She pushed her head upward. “Tell me, who the hell are you? Who sent you to my home? And how do you know the password to this house?” “You…” The woman saw no hint of emotion in Sylvia's eyes. Her gaze was calm like a dead sea. However, this dead sea seems to be filled with a deep sense of danger. Facing such an expression in the eyes of a young teenager, the woman's heart palpitated in fear.“You demon! Who are you? You are definitely not Sylvia. Yeah, you are definitely not her.” Her eyes began contracting due to intense fear. “Oh.” Sylvia drawled out in laziness. “If I'm not her, then who am I?” “Demon. You're a demon. Ahh!” “Shut up.” Sylvia slapped her across the face, halting her shriek. “If I hear any more words from you, I will cut out your tongue.” The woman appeared shaken at Sylvia's words and didn't dare go against her threat. Even with the heart-wrenching pain coursing through her body, she bit her tongue hard, trying not to make any whimper. Looking at how obedient she was, Sylvia pulled her hand away from her hair and straightened up her posture. “Tell me, who are you? If you dare try to fool me with some family bloodline relationship, I'm going to break your jaw open.” The Austens' parents were both orphans without any siblings, so where could an aunt from nowhere come from? “I-” Before the woman could speak, Susu's voice instantly interrupted Sylvia's mind. [Host, your Uncle Mike is already approaching the door.] Sylvia turned her head towards the entrance and indeed saw the door opening, with Mike walking in with an anxious expression. When he saw the scene in the room, his body went cold. His gaze couldn't help but shift to the young girl who was standing before the bloody scene. “Uncle Mike.” Sylvia looked at him. “Do you have something important to say to me?” Mike would only visit if there was something to discuss about the company's matters. So Sylvia thought he was there for that. But… this bloody scene doesn't seem to be the perfect place to have a conversation. “I…” Mike didn't know what to say. As if seeing a life-saving straw, the woman on the floor immediately shouted out. “Save me, Mike! Please save me! This girl is a demon. She's a total demon!” Seeing how she was calling at Mike with close familiarity, Sylvia stared at the latter with a questioning look. “Do you know her?” Mike closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally let out a sigh. He opened his eyelids and turned his gaze to the tattered woman calling out to him. “Yes. She's your aunt.” He walked forward and knelt before the bloody figure. Aunt? Sylvia was stunned by Mike's answer, but when she heard him continue, she knew where the relationship had come from. “This is my fiancé, Allegra. I apologized on her behalf for coming unannounced to your place. It's a fault on my side for giving her the door password.” Mike swooped the screaming Allegra into his embrace and walked out of the house. He didn't even bother asking why Sylvia had beaten his fiancée to such a state and just left calmly. “Hum, do you think she would forgive me after this scenario?” Susu didn't know what answer to give to this question. Anyone could see that there's no reconciliation or truce after what just took place. But he still has to give his host an answer. [Don't worry, host. Since your uncle Mike was able to understand that this was a misunderstanding, I'm sure she would too.]Ahh, it would be a dream if the latter didn't bear a grudge against Sylvia after this event. ‘Ah. What can I do with my low-EQ host?' Susu felt that Sylvia was beyond saving in this aspect.
