Chapter 695

"I don't know," Leopold said, shaking his head.

William pursed his lips. Skyler could hypnotize himself, but he hadn't mastered hypnotizing others at the same time, so William had his work cut out for him. He was determined to put in the hours and hit that level of skill as soon as possible.

"Don't sweat it, guys. The greatest hypnotist in the world is gonna show up”

Aurelia gently patted William's head, deep in thought, "William, when you're hanging with Skyler, keep your wits about you. If he starts acting off, anything strange at all, you hightail it to the bodyguard pronto. If Geoffrey turns out to be his alter ego, we need to be on the ball, wake Skyler up, and save him. We can't let Geoffrey take over. Your safety is the top priority. You know, Geoffrey's bad news."

William nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, I've got street smarts. I can roll with the punches.”

Aurelia trusted William to handle himself, especially with a bodyguard around.

She left the room to check on Skyler, who was sprawled on his bed, a lollipop stuck in his mouth, sucking on it listlessly, his expression down in the dumps.

He was terrified that Geoffrey might be his other half, that he was the one behind all those terrible deeds.

He'd never felt so scared in his life.

Aurelia walked over and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"Skyler, don't let Tanya's words get to you. For all you know, she could just be messing with your head to make you think there's something wrong."

Skyler looked down, a tear rolling down his cheek.

"Angel, would you guys be scared if I had a split personality?” he asked. Ever since he was a child, people had treated him like a freak, either mocking him or keeping their distance.

But since he'd come to Elysium, he'd finally found joy. He didn't want it to slip away So soon.

"No way, and we'll help you beat Geoffrey Aurelia reassured him, cleaning his tears. "Skyler, no matter what goes down, I, William, and Leopold, we've got your back. We'll help you, protect you, support you. We're not going anywhere. Whether Geoffrey's your twin brother or your alter ego, we're gonna take him down together.” She stroked his hair tenderly, her touch filled with comfort, continuing, "Remember this, you're stronger than he is. Don't be afraid of him, ever. Don't let him beat you. Geoffrey's got some psych tricks up his sleeve, so he'll do anything to break you down mentally. No matter what he says, even if there's some truth to it, don't let him get in your head. Things aren't always as simple as they seem. Just keep it together, and he can't touch you.”

Her main worry was how Skyler would cope if he found out the truth about his parents.

If Geoffrey was indeed his split personality, he'd strike when Skyler was most vulnerable.

"Got it,” Skyler nodded fiercely, and he thought, “Aurelia was the kindest person in the world" Aurelia smiled gently, "Skyler, you know what? Geniuses are always different.

Let the others laugh, and they just can't see through the surface. Don't mind their stares. Even ants think humans are monsters. You're the one looking down at them from the top. The real fools are them. If someone tries to slander you, don't let them win. Expose their schemes, blow their cover, and leave them nowhere to hide."

“You're right, Angel, Skyler clenched his fists with newfound resolve, "I don't know why Tanya's gunning for me, but I'll root out Geoffrey, whoever he is, and stop her from framing me."

Aurelia continued to comfort him, "Whatever you set out to do, we're your rock. Trust us a hundred percent, and don't let the bad guys drive a wedge between us."
