Sylvia's POV:
"Yes. Are you willing to stay with me?" Rufus asked casually.
I lowered my head, feeling bitter in my heart. For so many years, he was the first person to ask for my opinion. I was just a lowly slave with no choice. But going with him was better than staying here. And if I lived, I could have the chance to take revenge.
I was about to say yes when Rufus spoke again.
"If you come with me, I can help you investigate your mother's case."
What he said made me suddenly raise my head. I looked at him in surprise. "Really?"
