Chapter 557

"Keeping a diary is a good habit Aurelia said, smiling gently. "Skyler, do you remember that naughty kid we ran into at the diner yesterday?"

Skyler shrugged. "I've almost forgotten about him. Mom says we should quickly forget the bad stuff and not let it, not let it get tous.”

"You're right. Your mom is wise. We shouldn't let the bad seeds ruin our day, Aurelia agreed with a smile, then her tone shifted. "But there's something I need to tell you. Don't freak out, okay?"

She pulled out a video of a bridge incident and showed it to him.

He gasped, eyes widening. "Is this from a movie?"

“No, it's not. It's the naughty kid from yesterday, with his parents and little brother. His dad threw them all off the bridge and then jumped himself."

Aurelia looked at his reaction carefully as she spoke.

Skyler's eyes swirled with thought, and he suddenly perked up, waving his hand excitedly. "Must be the work of the Superman.”

"Superman?" Aurelia exchanged a glance with Leopold. Superman was a famous character.

“Yeah, Superman is my guardian angel. If I ever get... bullied, he'll show up out of nowhere and punish the bullies."

"Wow," Aurelia gave a thumbs up. “So Superman is a real knight in shining armor."

"Yeah, Skyler grinned, revealing a row of pearly whites. "Oh, Superman is doing the right thing! Oh, Superman has a heart full of courage! Oh, Superman has the power to make the world a better place! Success is sure if you persist..."

Aurelia held her forehead, realizing Skyler might have mingled his heroes with real life too much. Leopold stroked his chin thoughtfully. “What does your Superman look like? Have you ever seen him?"

"He's wearing a mask and a superhero suit" Skyler explained.

Aurelia found a picture of Superman online.

“Like this?"

"Yeah." Skyler nodded vigorously. "That's him, my guardian angel.”

Aurelia sighed, considering it a child's fantasy.

But Leopold had other thoughts.

After leaving the hotel and returning to the car, Leopold spoke gravely, "Could it be that AK Group's people have been shadowing Skyler all this time?"

"Why? To be his Superman and protect him?" Aurelia mused, her eyebrows arching. "If the organization's head is Skyler's mother and brother, it would make sense for them to protect him covertly”

However...

"L still think Geoffrey is Skyler's twin brother. If they look identical, it's possible that Geoffrey often sneaks around and swaps places with Skyler, pretending to be him."

As she spoke, she suddenly covered her mouth, her expression one of shock. "What if Geoffrey has also come to Elysium? The person we saw at the hotel might not always have been Skyler. It could have been Geoffrey in disguise. Skyler keeps his diary every day, and all Geoffrey would need to do is take a peek to know what's happened before."

Leopold fell silent. His people still hadn't found any proof of the twins’ existence.

“From now on, don't go to see Skyler alone. Let me come with you.”

"Okay" she replied softly. She wasn't alone anyway. Yuna was with her.

After they returned to Blossom Villa that evening, Avery came over with Leah. After dinner, Aurelia took Leah aside for a walk in the garden.

"Yesterday, Leopold and I took your big brother Skyler to the botanical garden.”

"You guys didn't stumble upon that bridge incident, did you?” Leah stuck out her tongue. "The video was so creepy. A lot of people are saying that guy must have been possessed.”

Aurelia shrugged. "Didn't the police release a statement? It was a sudden psychotic break. People with mental illness can be like they're possessed, sometimes seeing those around them as demons and lashing out.”
