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
Arlo informed Justin of everything that had occurred the other day right away. He was worried that Justin might not get the full picture. Arlo continued, “I wanted to tease her at the time. She surprised me by kicking open my car door. Before I could react, she had jumped out. The car was moving at a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour. Don’t you think that if a delicate girl leaped out of the car, she would have suffered a major injury?“She was alright, though. She jumped off the car unharmed, and there wasn't even a single smudge on her clothes. Imagine how proficient her fighting skills must be! I’m certain that this girl approached you with evil intentions!”Arlo finished speaking and eagerly awaited Justin’s response. Yet, Justin didn’t show even the tiniest signs of the rage, disappointment, or uncertainty he had anticipated.Justin asked him rhetorically, “So what?”‘So what? It means he doesn't believe a word I said!’Arlo widened his eyes in disbelief and asked in
Arlo’s attitude was resolute.Justin had had enough of this. He swung his fist toward Arlo and chastised him coldly, “Stop acting so crazy!”“You’re the one who’s crazy!”Arlo was in a towering rage. He wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth and pushed Justin’s hand away. Later, he walked away without raising his head.The maids who stood on the side dared not breathe loudly. Sienna still sat on a swing in the courtyard. When she looked up, she noticed Arlo had left the house. She was clueless as to what the two had discussed. Arlo had a wound on his face, while Justin was watching him from behind. Arlo dared not do anything to Sienna. He simply gave her a serious look before driving away.After the previous incident, Sienna expected Justin to guard her day and night, but she was surprised when he didn’t. He no longer avoided her in the study when he was working with some confidential materials. ‘Is this a ruse? Is he doing this on purpose to get me to fall fo
In the dead of night, almost everyone in the manor was asleep, except for the bodyguards guarding and patrolling outside the manor.For Sienna, now was the perfect time for action. It was also the easiest time to expose her identity.Sienna opened the door and entered the room gently. This wasn’t the first time she had walked into this study. She was familiar with the interior decor and room layout. The most important thing she needed to do now was locate the secret compartment.Starting with the bookcase at one end, Sienna searched through each case, one by one, trying to discover something. ‘The study room is huge. If I kept looking around in this manner, I wouldn’t be able to locate the confidential documents till dawn! I have to think of a way. Where would I keep my important documents if I were Justin?’Sienna stood in the center of the room and carefully examined the layout. She had drastically narrowed down the possible territories after excluding the impossible territorie
Sienna pursed her lips and scoffed. "If you understand that there would be more to come, then you would know that if you kill Justin Laverick, others will take his place."Indeed, it would be a waste of strength if they did not root out the problem. "I agree, but who would know what the SIA is thinking?" Blake sighed, shaking his head. "Anyway, it's none of our business, so you just have to finish your job, Sienna. Ignore everything else.""Yeah," Sienna replied and hung up.Meanwhile, the sun had already risen outside. Sienna figured Hunter and the rest would have arrived at Juxor City by now.Sienna called him, and after making her instructions perfectly clear and hanging up, she stepped out of the room.There was rustling in the corridor. It was not particularly audible, but it drew suspicion nonetheless.Sienna opened the door to find that a carpet had been laid out over the ice-cold floor, and it extended to the stairs at the corner.The servants who were laying out the c
Sienna kept her voice as quiet as possible as she told Blake the address of the secret factory. She soon got a reply.[Roger that!]Lowering her gaze, Sienna decided that it was time she made her exit.Soon, Justin returned to his study, now dressed in fresh, clean clothes. He found Sienna hanging her head and appearing down-spirited, and presumed that she was blaming herself over spilling coffee on him.He was going to reassure her when a servant suddenly entered hurriedly and reported, "Sir, Mr. Kerfott has arrived. He's waiting outside the manor and is demanding to see you."‘At this hour? What is Arlo playing at?’Still, Justin frowned. He had known Arlo for years, and he knew that he would never come to throw a tantrum without a cause. Hence, he personally headed outside for a look."I'm coming too!" Sienna exclaimed, striding one step forward with a twinkle in her eye."Okay," Justin replied.They headed downstairs together, walking through the brightly lit courtyard o
A resounding explosion boomed from a corner of Juxor City!Then, a mushroom cloud rose to the air, its massive flames exceedingly blinding in the darkness.It was rising from the direction of the secret factory!Justin’s pupils dilated, and he leveled a sinister, fiery gaze straight at Sienna.However, he was too furious to notice a red dot hovering over his body—a signal that a sniper had taken aim at him.Nonetheless, Sienna remained impassive as she took a step to the side, and the red dot landed on her back instead.The sniper was just about to pull the trigger right then but was startled and quickly moved his finger away from the trigger.Blake, who had hacked the cameras nearby, saw that as well, and almost lost his mind right then. "Move, Sienna!" He barked into the transmitter, "Don't stand in front of Justin! The sniper could shoot you by accident!"Sienna simply hung up on him, which left him punching the table in rage. He had no idea what Sienna was up to, and so
