NovelEnglishChapter 527 Leopold and Hanson descended from the upstairs study, where they had been discussing business investments.
"Skyler, there are many rare flowers in the garden. Let me show you." “Sure thing.” Skyler clapped his hands with joy.
Leopold led him and Leah to the garden.
A snow-white Alpaca was grazing by the garden gate, looking absolutely charming.
"Wow." Leah's eyes sparkled with delight, "Leopold, does the Solitude Mountain Resort also have Alpacas? They're so cute." She ran over excitedly, reaching out to pet the Alpaca.

Leah loved it so much.
“Leopold, | also want to keep an Alpaca.” “When it has babies, you can come and pick one; Leopold suggested.
"That's great." Leah's eyes squinted with a smile.
Skyler stood at a distance, too afraid to approach, nervously holding onto the corners of his clothes.
Leopold noticed his apprehension, “Skyler, are you afraid of Alpacas?" "I can't be near animals.” Skyler's head shook.
"Why?" Leopold raised a puzzled eyebrow.
"They will die.” Skyler stuttered.
Leah sighed, "Skyler actually likes animals a lot. He had many pets before, but for some reason, they all died mysteriously. It upset him terribly, and he never dared to have pets again." A sharp, icy look flashed in Leopold's eyes, but he didn't probe further, fearing it might upset Skyler.
"Skyler, you don't have to worry. This is the Stirling family. They won't die here." Skyler lowered his head and walked further into the garden.
“I'l look at the flowers, and flowers don't die." After he had walked away, Leopold asked in a low voice, "Why would the pets at your place, with so many bodyguards and servants around, die so mysteriously?" Leah revealed an eerie smile, “It's our family's unsolved mystery, My dad strictly censored the news, not allowing it to be leaked.
| was young at the time and didn't understand much. | heard that the pets died horribly, skinned and dismembered. It was likely the work of a sadistic animal abuser." Leopold's eyes were becoming as deep and impenetrable as a black well.

Didn't Hanson take him to see a psychologist?" "He did. Under the doctor's treatment, Skyler was improving, but the doctor suddenly died of a heart attack. The doctors after him couldn't help Skyler anymore, Leah said.
Her words sparked Leopold's curiosity, and he felt something was off.
“Earlier you mentioned Tanya often took Skyler out to play. What was their relationship like?" “It seemed that Skyler didn't like Tanya before the drowning, and he was always scared of her, always hiding and refusing to play with her. But after the drowning, Skyler seemed to not be afraid of her anymore. Maybe it was because she saved him, and Tanya was seriously injured in the process” Leah explained.
At that moment, Skyler's voice came from nearby, "Come over quickly, Orchid's family is here." Leopold and Leah walked over.
The flower bed was filled with Orchid.
Skyler was thrilled, "I should have brought Orchid over, and it would be so happy to see its family" “You can visit frequently, and then bring Orchid over,” Leopold suggested.
Skyler grinned, looking like an innocent child, "I'll look for Daisy's and Rose's family too."
