Finally, no one was watching Sienna. Most of the guests had left the banquet one by one. “Sisi, why don’t you follow me home and stay at the mansion tonight?” Lady Scott said pleasantly to Sienna. “You left in a hurry last time, and you are officially one of the Scott Mansion’s madams now. Why don’t you take a look at your room?”Lady Scott thought, ‘Most importantly, the props, which I commanded the servants to prepare last time, haven’t come in handy yet. Those props are the key to deciding when I am going to have a great-grandchild! Opportunity is something one needs to create on their own!’Sienna didn’t give it much thought. She subconsciously wished to reject Lady Scott’s offer. Before she could say anything, she noticed that Lady Scott’s complexion had become pale and that the old lady was bending herself backward while covering her chest with her hand. Everyone was taken aback!“Grandma! Grandma!”“Lady Scott! Lady Scott!”“Oh, my god! What’s wrong with Lady Scott? She
When she heard the sound of the door being locked, Sienna was startled. She went over and attempted to twist the doorknob, but it wouldn’t budge.Marisa, who had accomplished her task, coughed lightly outside the door. “Master Harry and Young Mistress, you two should sleep early tonight, especially given how lovely the moonlight is.” She added, “The door lock appears to be malfunctioning. I’ll make arrangements for the locksmith to fix it at dawn. It seems that you two have to put up with it tonight.”With that, Marisa’s footsteps quickly disappeared.Sienna’s eyes twitched a little. ‘What an funny excuse for the housekeeper to claim that the door lock was broken. It's like she didn't even try to come up with a better excuse.’“What are we supposed to do?” Sienna looked at Harry and asked, “Have you thought of any ideas to get out of here?”“Let’s see.” Harry put down the dessert in his hand. Then, he walked over, lifted the curtains, and checked the window. The window had been
Lady Scott muttered to herself, “I've miscalculated! There's a flaw in my plan! This trick is unlikely to succeed. I need to consider other options. I have to come up with something else.”With that, Lady Scott moved her wheelchair and left. Marisa also left with her.The commotion outside the room didn't reach the interior of the bedroom. The quality of the sound insulation was extraordinary.Around two o’clock in the morning. The temperature dropped sharply again. It was a little chilly inside the bedroom. Harry’s complexion turned pale. He had trouble handling cold temperatures all these while. He covered his chest with his hand as waves of pain swept toward him while the pathogens attacked his heart. He stifled the agony while remaining silent.Sienna dropped her acting where she appeared to have fallen asleep when she sensed something was off. She lifted the quilt and sat up in bed. She approached Harry so she could check his pulse. However, Sienna was astounded when she tou
“Name it.” Harry’s gaze was burning as he locked his gaze on Sienna. A faint smile lingered on his lips.Sienna looked at the clean and tidy desktop in front of her. She pondered for a while, then tilted her head. “I haven’t decided yet. How about I decide that later?” Sienna thought, ‘It's only a matter of convenience to save him. If he can owe me a favor now, maybe that favor will come in handy later.’ “Okay!” Harry agreed with the request straight away.“Then, it’s settled!” In contentment, Sienna clapped her hands. She then took a pen and paper from the desk and began to write down the names of the herbs. There were six types of herbs in total. She also made a quick sketch of each plant based on the entries in her grandfather’s journal so that Harry could locate them easily. Sienna said, “Just try your luck and find as many of them as you can. Start visiting Lang Garden every day from now on. I'll put needles in you to contain the toxin in your body. While I can’t guarant
A young man stood behind Sienna. He had attractive features that shared approximately sixty to seventy percent of Sienna’s looks. That man was travel-worn. His once shiny leather shoes were dusty, and they looked out of place compared with the attractive and fitted tailor-made suits that he was wearing.Sienna was startled, then she gently called out to him, “Colson!”This man was the second-eldest brother of the original owner, Colson Lang. He also happened to be the family member who doted on the original owner the most.Clara had joined their family later. She was adopted as the fourth child of the Langs. However, Colson had never acknowledged Clara as his sister. In fact, he often said out loud, “I only have one sister in this life!”Among the three older brothers of the original owner, Jaime, the eldest brother, was indifferent to everyone. The original owner feared him, and the two of them did not get along well. Jonas, the third brother, firmly stood on Clara’s side. He wa
At this time, inside the Langs Villa. Keegan was sitting at the dining table, enjoying his coffee and reading the newspaper. Today was a Sunday, and there was no need for him to go to the office.“Good morning, Daddy!” Clara called out with a smile as she walked down from the second floor.Keegan gave her a quick glance as his eyes sparkled with adoration. He exclaimed, “Why are you so beautifully dressed today, Clara?” Jonas quickly responded from the side, “Dad, what are you talking about? When isn’t Clara dressed to the nines? Am I right?”“Jonas!” Clara stomped her feet. She had a girlish shyness that covered her face. She rebuked, “You are in cahoots with Dad! You two like to make fun of me all the time!”“We're just telling the truth!” Jonas grinned. After saying that, he even elbowed Jaime, who was quietly eating breakfast next to him. He asked, “Jaime, be the judge for this. Am I right?”Jaime raised his head and cast a faint glance at him. His aura was somewhat oppressive
Colson finally stopped. He protested stubbornly, “Dad, can you tell me why you're so cruel to Sisi? How could you kick your own daughter out of the house and disown her for the sake of an outsider who isn't even related to you? Why on earth are you doing all these?”Keegan fumed, “I’m your father! You have no right to question my decision!”The atmosphere grew tense. Those servants that stood on the side dared not make a sound with their breathing.Clara was crying pitifully, and her voice was choking. “Colson, it’s my fault. I'll leave. I’ll leave now!” When Clara said that, she was about to rush out of the house as she wept.When she watched the scene, Sienna almost burst out laughing. Frankly, Clara was a master at using her retreat to further her plan.Sure enough, Jonas, whose face was now disfigured from the beating, was anxious when he heard this. He hastened to stop Clara right away.As the situation was getting out of control, a calm voice suddenly came from the side, “W
Since they left Langs Villa around twenty minutes ago, Colson had been in this state. Sienna knew that Colson must be disappointed with his family. She instructed, “Please pour some water and prepare some food for us, Miss White.”“Sure, Miss Sienna.”After Sienna sent Miss White away, she sat down on the couch and gave her brother a faint smile. She said, “Colson, I bought this villa on my own. All of the shares I held were sold. Even though I’m living alone and have nothing to do with that family anymore, I have enough money to live a comfortable life.”She then turned to face Colson and put away her smile. She said solemnly, “Colson, you don’t have to worry about me. You can focus on your goals.”Colson had traveled abroad a few years ago to launch his career on his own. He ought to have established himself at this point. His career was just getting started at this moment. He couldn’t stop his plans for her.Colson was still in an internal struggle. However, his struggle vani
