Chapter 16

“I wouldn't say that.”

How could a line be drawn between them when neither of them had ever crossed a line?

It was just that…

It was true that she wished to draw a clear line between them.

“Are you afraid of me?” Harry took another step forward. The distance between them was so close that he had almost forced Sienna into the corner.

Sienna’s eyes moved slightly, but she had a faint smile on her face. “No.”

“If you're not afraid of me, why don't you dare to look at me?”

“…” Sienna was speechless for a moment and simply raised her head.

She was not short, but she could only reach his shoulders.

As they faced each other, Sienna looked into Harry’s eyes, and she marveled at them again. This man’s eyes were incredibly beautiful. They were as profound and deep as the ocean. Looking into his gaze gave Sienna the impression that she was being attracted to him against her will.

However, the more attractive and charming things were, the more dangerous they were.

Sienna’s palms were sweating.

When she met Harry’s gaze, she suddenly had a feeling as if the man could see right through her at a glance, and she had no place to conceal all of her secrets from him.

Sienna was forced to take a step backward.

She backed into a corner as she retreated, leaving herself with no escape.

From the outside, she appeared to be enveloped in his arms.

As he observed the girl looking at him with her piercing, watchful eyes, Harry stifled a quiet laugh. He was just about to defend himself, but before he could say anything, a hesitant and tentative voice sounded behind him—

“Harry?”

Sienna and Harry were stunned.

When Harry looked back, he saw a young boy behind them with an excited look on his face as he shouted excitedly, “Bro, is it really you?”

After Matty Scott shouted, he turned and saw Sienna, who was basically in Harry’s embrace. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth wide in absolute disbelief!

“Bro, you…”

The child was so startled that he could not speak at all.

Sienna seized this opportunity to escape his embrace and declared, “I’ll leave first. Goodbye.”

She walked out of the restaurant swiftly after saying that.

Matty, who was frozen on the spot, was still stuttering, “B-Bro, you actually…”

Harry glanced at him angrily and said in disgust, “Speak when you can stop stammering.”

“Bro, you are actually involved with that scheming girl from the Lang family! You should be aware that that woman has a terrible reputation and that everyone in Isonbert is aware of her awful character. She also—”

Matty saw a flash before his eyes before he could finish speaking. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had been kicked into the private room.

"Ouch!"

Matty covered his buttocks as tears welled up in his eyes out of pain. He could not help but look toward the door as he complained, “Bro, you’re done for. I’m going to tell Grandma!”

However, Harry had already gone far away.

Matty was so furious that he dialed his own grandmother’s number immediately and then explained in detail everything that he had seen while exaggerating!

“Grandma, I just saw Harry holding a girl against the wall in a restaurant! Do you want to know who he was hitting on? It’s that scheming young lady from the Lang family! Grandma, when did Harry have such bad taste?”

Unexpectedly, when Lady Scott heard these words, her eyes lit up immediately, and she suddenly became excited.

“Really? Harry made a move on a girl?”

“Yes!” Matty nodded subconsciously, and it took a few seconds for him to react. Wait, this was not what he had wanted to say!

Lady Scott, who was on the other end of the line, was beaming broadly. “That’s great! That’s great! The young lady of the Lang family, right? I believe in Harry’s taste. I’ll decide on a time to go and visit this girl tomorrow.”

She hung up the phone after she was done speaking.

Matty stayed where he was with a vacant expression on his face.

Based on what he knew about his grandmother, it was very likely that she would go to the Lang Mansion with a marriage proposal…

“Damn it! I've f*cked up!”

Matty held onto his buttocks and ran outside with only one thought in his mind, which was to quickly escape and go into hiding for a while!

…

At this time, Sienna was completely unaware that she had already been targeted by Lady Scott, who was anxious to have great-grandchildren. She was in a taxi when she kept receiving calls from unidentified phone numbers, one after the other.

As soon as Sienna answered the call, several parents began taking turns to berate her over the other end of the line.

“You're so young, yet you're already so cruel. Do you realize that my son will be left with a record, and that a stain will be left on his life because of your lawsuit? Are you trying to ruin his future?”

“Little b*tch, I am warning you—if you don’t withdraw the case and cause my daughter to go to jail, I will never let you off!”

Of course, aside from some parents who chose to curse at her, there were some parents who opted to apologize and seek a settlement.

“Sienna, my son knows that what he did was wrong. He did not do it on purpose! I beg you to be gracious and withdraw the case!”

Perhaps in some people’s eyes, the life of others was no match for their children’s future, which could not suffer a stain. But at least they still had a future. What about the original owner? Did she have one?

When a crime was committed, could it be avoided by saying that it was not intentional?

Sienna smiled lightly, and her eyes briefly lit up with pain.

There was just no one to protect her.

“You want a settlement? That's impossible.”

Sienna hung up the phone after she was done speaking. However, the calls kept coming. She felt that it was annoying, so she switched off her cell phone and took out the sim card too.

It was finally silent.

Not long after, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the mansion. Sienna got off the taxi after paying for the taxi fare and then walked toward the Lang Mansion.

She had already sold the villa, and the people from Cash 4 Go would come and take possession of it soon.

So, she would have to pack up, move out, and stand on her own two feet today!

At this moment in the Lang Mansion, Clara bit her lip and sat on the sofa as she said pitifully, “Dad, Jonas, do you think that Sienna will agree to give me 10% of the shares? What if she doesn’t want to?”

At noon today, Quentin came to the Lang Mansion and discussed everything with Keegan after accompanying Clara to give her full statement at the police station.

It was finally agreed that the Lang family would transfer 10% of the shares to Clara to support her so that Clara could marry Quentin as the legal daughter of the Lang family in the future.

The marriage with the Kane family was something that Keegan desired, so how could he refuse? Besides, he had always been responsive to Clara’s requests, so he agreed immediately.

Naturally, these shares should be transferred from Sienna.

Jonas reassured her, “Don’t worry, Clara. I will give you all I have if she refuses to give you her shares! I also have 10% of the shares in my name!”

“Thank you, Jonas.”

Keegan said confidently, “She has to accept my decision regardless of whether she wants to or not!”

An equity transfer letter had already been placed on the table.

They were now awaiting Sienna's return before they would force her to submit and sign the letter obediently!
