Sienna stood by the roadside in the rain.Although it was summer now, the air was humid and cold during the rainy season. The temperature was not high, so it was extremely easy to catch a cold.Although there were many taxis parked on the side of the road, there were still many passengers coming out of the airport one after the other, and many people still failed to get a taxi.Sienna was one of them.She did not want to compete with the others. As such, she simply stood quietly by the roadside as she let the drizzle wet her eyelashes. It was four in the morning at this time. Sienna looked at the time on her watch. She did not know how long she would have to wait like this.At this moment, a black Maybach slowly stopped in front of her.Sienna subconsciously looked up only to see that the car window was rolled down. There was a young and handsome man sitting in the back seat. Judging by his dressing and behavior, he was obviously a wealthy philanderer. The man raised his br
The car door suddenly swung open, then Sienna jumped off the vehicle without hesitation.‘Is that girl asking for death?’Arlo’s expression changed dramatically. He hastily reached out to grasp the girl who was attempting suicide. However, his efforts were fruitless. He could only yell at the driver, “Stop the car! Stop the car now!”The screech of a car tire grinding against the asphalt road was heard. Arlo jumped out of the car, and he saw that the girl who had just jumped out of the car was standing on the roadside. She was unscathed—her clothes were intact and smudgeless! ‘This is unbelievable!’Arlo had a hard time believing his eyes.Sienna put the backpack on her shoulder and walked about a dozen meters away. She didn’t even glance at Arlo.When Arlo snapped back from his daze and wanted to catch up with Sienna, the street was empty, and her slender figure had vanished. The downpour persisted, and it began to rain heavier. Sienna stood in front of the convenience sto
Sienna slightly curled her lips. It should be her turn to go on stage next. The downpour was getting heavier. The car driver asked while he drove, “Chairman Laverick, would you like me to turn on the heater?” “I’m good.” A deep voice was heard. Justin was indifferent, robotic, and insensitive. The driver responded by keeping his attention on the road. He had maximized the speed of the car wipers. The rain kept falling on the glass and obstructing his vision.The driver was momentarily distracted when he noticed a figure suddenly dash out from the roadside. He was surprised and immediately stepped on the brakes to avoid pedestrians. A bang was heard when something was struck by the car’s bonnet.Justin leaned forward in the rear seat as he lost momentum. He gave a disagreeable scowl. There were hints of dissatisfaction on his stern face, which made him appear more cold and cruel.“What’s the matter?”“Chairman Laverick, I… I hit someone!”The driver parked the car at the ro
Sienna asked more questions. “Who are you? W-Who am I?”Justin and the maid who followed behind him were dumbfounded by the question.Sienna frowned. She appeared to be struggling with her memory. Sadly, she was unable to recall anything. Instead, it made her head injury worse. The anguish caused her skin to grow pale. She was so distressed that tears began to flow from her eyes.Justin commanded, “Go and get the doctor!”A doctor arrived carrying a medical bag. After he carefully examined Sienna, he came to a conclusion. He spoke to Justin, who had a cold aura radiating from his body.“Chairman Laverick, this girl should have amnesia given the heavy blow to the head she received. Situations like this frequently arise in the medical industry when someone suffers a major accident.” Justin asked, “Can she recall who she is in the future?”The doctor answered honestly, “This is a hard question to answer because the outcome varies from person to person. Some may be able to remember
‘Justin may decide to keep me because he wants to investigate my identity and background.’ A sigh of relief escaped Sienna, who pretended to be unconscious on the bed. She was carrying out her mission in Juxor City. She had been invited to assist by the Secret Intelligence Agency’s (SIA) highest command. She didn’t have to be concerned that Justin might find out anything because she was here undercover and had made up her identity beforehand. Sienna fell asleep at ease. A short while later, Justin’s subordinates returned and gave him a file, saying, “Chairman Laverick, everything is here.”Justin took the information and quickly scanned through it. According to the information, the unconscious girl’s name was Londyn Shadow. This year, she had just turned eighteen. She had been sold at a young age after being abducted. She later experienced bullying while growing up in an orphanage. The girl was planning to jump off the bridge that night when he came across her.The look in Ju
There were expensive flowers that blossomed throughout the spacious courtyard. The scene was pleasing to the eye. There was a swing in the center of the garden. Sienna sat on the swing and rocked slowly to overcome her boredom.She appeared relaxed and carefree in the eyes of others. However, only Sienna knew that she was counting the time. She had been at Juxor City for five days. Other than her initial accomplishment in entering Laverick Manor, there had been no developments or discoveries over the previous five days.‘I’ll swim out to meet my ship if it doesn’t come in. I have to take the initiative to strike if Justin doesn’t come to me.’Sienna’s gaze swept across the gate, as if unintentionally.That was right—she did this on purpose. She had purposefully come here to wait for Justin to get home. Sadly, she had pretty bad luck.Justin didn’t show up for the two hours Sienna sat on the swing. On the contrary, the maid assigned to look after her arrived next to her in a ha
Sienna shook her head honestly.She was going to cry as she lowered her beautiful eyes. “I’m not sure, but… I vaguely recall having a brother who loves me a lot. He buys me whatever I want, and he treats me very well. I’m not sure whether he is real or it’s just my imagination. If he’s real, he must be worried sick about me now.”She should shed a few tears in a situation like this to gain sympathy, but Sienna was unable to cry. She therefore quietly pinched her thigh.‘Ouch! It hurts. I’ve made far too many sacrifices for this mission.’Sienna raised her head. Her eyes were covered in a layer of tears and had gone red. She appeared to be a helpless cub that had been left behind by others. She made it impossible for people to not pity her.Justin’s heart went soft in the face of her eyes.‘This girl is practically in the same situation as my sister.’Justin spoke slowly. “It’s okay for you to not remember. I’ll tell you your identity. Your name is Londyn Shadow. You were lost an
The clock was ticking, and Sienna needed to act quickly. The sound of a car engine came from downstairs as Sienna was racking her brains for a solution. Sienna assumed Justin had returned earlier than expected, so she smiled brightly and hurried downstairs to greet him.After getting a close look at the man who had just entered the house, Sienna was horrified. ‘Why is it him? He’s the guy I hitchhiked with at the airport!’Immediately, Sienna turned around and prepared to return to her room.When that man caught a glimpse of her, his whimsical voice was heard. “Don’t run away from me. I specifically came here to see you.”The visitor was Arlo. He had come here out of curiosity after hearing that Justin had brought home a sister.‘This little girl actually turned around and fled when I showed up. She doesn’t seem interested in seeing me.’Arlo said with a smile, “Don’t be scared. I’m really close to your brother. His sister is my sister. This time, I’ve come here to give you a
