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
“Aren’t all of us aware of what men think? Regardless of how gorgeous a woman is, she is just a plaything, right? No matter how honorable that actress pretended to be, didn't that woman get world-famous for her debauchery? Let me share a secret with you all: Actually, I slept with her too. Hehehehe!”The man said with a mysterious expression. As he said that, he even looked like he had recalled some memories and was pondering the details. The group suddenly revealed lewd smiles.Sienna stopped in her tracks. She walked past them as if she hadn’t heard anything.The next second, a silver needle was shot at the group. The expression of the man who spoke most enthusiastically among the group was frozen. Then, he bent down in agony as his forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and his complexion turned as white as a sheet. That man was rushed to the hospital a short while later.Sienna looked straight ahead as she led Bona to a seat in the event hall's last row, which was the least notice
Sienna’s gaze passed through the crowd and was fixed on the DVD. The date written on the DVD’s cover was the day before her seventh birthday.Hedy, whose singing had brought her international recognition, tearfully bade her beloved profession goodbye. She took the camera with her to the backstage dressing room. Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she claimed that she wanted to get her daughter something special for her birthday.It was a pity that Sienna had never received her present because the Langs had been wiped out overnight.Somehow, this DVD had emerged in Isonbert. No wonder she never located it despite her best efforts to look for it in the capital city. Sienna closed her eyes. She was unsure whether it was her destiny to uncover it here.Soon, the auction price had increased from 50 million to 57 million. The atmosphere gradually heated up. A wealthy businessman abruptly exclaimed, “I'll pay 100 million!”The audience was in an uproar. This man would spend 100 mil
The scene had fallen quiet. Many people were turned off by this price.“Okay! 201 million, going once! 201 million, going twice!” The auctioneer raised the hammer and was about to strike it to end the bidding. At that precise moment, a languid and melodic voice slowly emerged from the upstairs tea room.“1 billion dollars!” He named the price casually! The entire auction house was fired up with excitement!“F*ck! 1 billion dollars? Did I hear him right?”“My goodness! I'm glad I came! It’s such an eye-opener!”“Hey! Wait! Isn’t this big shot who called out for one billion dollars the same bidder who won the perfume bottle? That guy is truly rich! He is the richest of the rich!”There were a lot of discussions going on.Sienna raised her head. The only details she could make out were the owner’s skinny fingers and clearly defined joints, which suggested he was a powerful guy with influence. He sat by the window, and his figure was mostly blocked by the curtain. Only his fingertip
Before Sienna had a chance to speak, the little kitten that Harry was holding in his arms meowed. It had crystal-clear and exquisite amber eyes. When the kitten moved its little head around, it appeared intelligent and docile.Harry stretched out his hand, and the kitten rubbed its head against his palm. This scene was visually attractive.Sienna lowered her eyes and voiced her doubts. “Harry, why did you give me that perfume bottle?”“That bottle is exquisite and compact, and I thought you'd like it.” Harry bought it for her in passing because he believed she would appreciate it. There wasn’t any particular reason for him to buy that for her.“Then…” Secretly, Sienna tightened the grip on her dangling hand. She looked up and asked again, “What about that DVD?” It cost him one billion dollars to buy that DVD. She doubted it was a coincidence.Harry raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, “Huh? Aren’t you a fan of Hedy? Otherwise, why would you beat the crap out of that j*rk wh
