Jacob Anderson hesitated for a moment and said, "Take Miss Amelia to the dark room and lock her up!"
Amelia finally realized that something was wrong and wanted to resist, "Let me go, why are you locking me up?"
But how could she resist against the power of Grace Manor!
When Amelia was forcibly locked in the dark room, she still hadn't figured out what was going on!
With a bang, the door of the dark room closed. The reason why it was called a dark room was because it was originally a place to detain people, and it was dark and gloomy.
Years of darkness had given the room a musty smell and a lingering scent of blood!
When the light disappeared completely, Amelia began to panic as expected!
Not because she was afraid, but because of the hidden fear of autism in her heart! There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape.
Her autism wasn't cured, it was just hidden away, buried deep in her heart, and would relapse once stimulated.
Just like when she was confined during military training!
And this dark room was even more terrifying than the confinement during military training. The eerie scent of blood was just like the room where she had been locked up for thirteen years. Day after day, she was beaten until the whole room was filled with the smell of blood.
Soon, Amelia's thoughts became confused, and she was filled with the idea that Tyler Davis had locked her in the dark room!
Her favorite Tyler Davis had locked her in the dark room.
Amelia curled up in a corner of the wall.
Panic, fear, and terror, coupled with the exhaustion of staying up late studying, had overwhelmed Amelia!
She felt as if she had returned to her childhood, lying on the ground with her head beaten and blood flowing, watching her wounds slowly heal day by day, only to add new wounds again. She felt that living was really exhausting, and Amelia fainted.
Like a child abandoned by the whole world, lonely and curled up alone.
No one noticed that Amelia's breathing had gradually weakened!
...
Jacob Anderson had been acting strange all along because he knew that when the general said to lock someone up, he meant to lock them in a room. No matter what Miss Amelia did, the general would tolerate it in the end.
But Miss Amelia betrayed the general, how could she betray him when he liked her so much!
So Jacob Anderson took the initiative to lock Amelia in the dark room, wanting her to suffer a bit.
...
At this time, Tyler Davis ran to Preston Rhodes' house. There were several empty bottles of alcohol scattered on the coffee table.
"Tyler Davis, your wound hasn't fully healed yet, drink less!" Preston Rhodes advised.
Tyler Davis didn't speak, he just drank in silence.
Preston Rhodes understood that, besides Amelia, no one else had the power to make Tyler Davis act this way.
"Hey, Tyler Davis, what's going on? I heard that your pet... Amelia, has she repented? Isn't she causing any trouble anymore?"
"Oh man, Tyler Davis, you need to talk!" Preston Rhodes was anxious, twisting and turning on the sofa. "If you make this wound worse by drinking, Ivan Petrov will at least nag me for six months. Don't drink now, let's drink in a few days."
Preston Rhodes reached for the bottle, intending to take it away.
"Bang!" The bottle smashed on the ground, filling the room with the scent of alcohol.
"She still wants to leave me. She still chose to betray me!" Tyler Davis said, under the influence of alcohol.
Preston Rhodes was not the type to wallow in self-pity. He immediately said, "What's the big deal? If she wants to leave, then go get her back. If she wants to betray you, then watch her closely!"
Tyler Davis, who was always domineering, looked at Preston Rhodes in confusion, while Preston Rhodes looked pleased, with a frivolous appearance that he was accustomed to.
"Trust me, I understand women very well. If you like her, you should treat her well in every way possible, so well that she can't survive without you. See if she will still leave you then!"
Tyler Davis was taken aback. Did Amelia want to leave him because he wasn't good enough to her?
"Moreover, I don't think Amelia looks like the type to betray you!"
Tyler Davis stared at Preston Rhodes.
"Um... don't look at me like that. It's not me who said it, it was Xavier Rivera from my house. Xavier Rivera is very accurate in judging people!"
Tyler Davis didn't pay attention to how the military doctor, Xavier Rivera, ended up at Preston Rhodes' house. He stood up suddenly, realizing that even an outsider believed that Amelia would not betray him. Why should he doubt her?
Even if all the evidence shows that, even if the facts are right in front of him, as long as Amelia did not say she betrayed him, then there was no betrayal!
Tyler Davis, who had figured it out, rushed out.
"Wait, Tyler Davis, you drank. I'll call a driver for you!"
Tyler Davis nodded and left quickly, leaving a mess behind.
At this moment, a man walked out of Preston Rhodes' bedroom, and it was the military doctor, Xavier Rivera.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and clean up the mess!" Preston Rhodes ordered without hesitation, with a hint of arrogance.
Xavier Rivera looked at Preston Rhodes calmly, but spoke with a hoarse voice that sounded like an old man's, "You said you would support me, and you said you would take care of the housework!"
Preston Rhodes fell silent.
He now understood Tyler Davis a little better. No matter how powerful or sarcastic you were, there was always that one person who could keep you down forever.
...
When Tyler Davis returned, reeking of alcohol, he quickly ran back to his room but did not see Amelia. He sensed that something was wrong at Grace Manor. The servants were all trembling, and Jacob Anderson even avoided his gaze.
"Where's Amelia?" Tyler Davis asked sharply.
Jacob Anderson trembled and whispered, "Locked up in the dungeon!"
"What did you say?" Tyler Davis stopped in his tracks, emitting a chill that seemed to spell doom. The dungeon was where prisoners were tortured. How could Amelia be locked up there? Even being locked in a closed room could drive her to panic.
The mere thought of Amelia cowering in a dark corner and shivering with fear made Tyler Davis forget about investigating Jacob Anderson's actions. He ran like a madman towards the dungeon.
The door to the dungeon was tightly shut. Tyler Davis trembled and clenched his fists. "Open it now!" he yelled at the guard.
"Y-yes!" The guard had never seen Tyler Davis so angry and trembled as he quickly opened the door.
Tyler Davis stood at the doorway, took a deep breath, and listened. There was no sound, not even a frightened one. He turned on the lights inside the dungeon, squinting at the sudden brightness. He was afraid to look at Amelia's state.
When he saw her, he felt as though someone had grabbed his throat and he couldn't breathe. Amelia was lying on the ground, her face pale and her body curled up, as if she were dead.
