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
"No, you weren't late," Sienna replied flatly as she glanced at Hunter and his boys. "In fact, your timing was perfect."Meanwhile, Justin’s expression turned even colder after what had happened—this was his turf!Without a word from him, more goons and professional bodyguards charged toward the courtyard, but Sienna had been staying at the manor for a while now. She knew that Justin's forces outnumbered hers. A lot of them had arrived in waves and fully occupied the courtyard.But was Sienna panicking?Not at all.She had no assurances when it came to anything else, but she had confidence in her men.Be it Hunter, the never-serious Monki, or Chase, who had been putting on weight lately—they were all veterans who had seen actual combat and survived death. To say that they could fend off hundreds by themselves was no exaggeration.Sienna's gaze remained serene as well. She wanted to talk things out calmly with Justin, which was why she had stopped the sniper. After all, even if J
Arlo was stunned, just like Justin, who was still left on the floor, shock and disbelief showing in his cold gaze."Boss!' When Hunter, Monki, and the men saw that Sienna was wounded, all of them saw red and quickly defeated every goon standing in their way to Sienna."What happened, boss?" "Are you alright?"They all asked all once, making a circle around her.Sienna shook her head. "I'm fine. It's just a scratch."After that near-miss, the snipers in the distance did not dare to fire on a whim now. Hunter quickly tore a sleeve off his sheet to stop the bleeding, and Sienna did not stop him as she rose to her feet, watching Justin as she said, "It's not just snipers. SIA is on their way here—you still have a chance to run."With that, she started to leave with Hunter and the rest.That was when Justin suddenly asked, "Londyn Shadow, why did you save me?"And after she had deceived him?Though the gates of the manor were locked tightly, Sienna leaped and stood on top of
When Blake heard this, he clenched his teeth even harder in fury!“You still have the nerve to say that? I already shouted until my voice was hoarse to ask you to avoid it so that you wouldn't get hurt by accident. Unexpectedly, you still rushed toward the muzzle even though you knew that the sniper had already opened fire. Tell me: Don’t you think that you were acting like an idiot?”Blake was still angry after scolding her, and he continued babbling. The more he spoke, the more outrageous he sounded. “Sienna, why were you trying so hard to save Justin? Aren’t you afraid that he will retaliate against you in the future? Or could it be that he has already moved your heart after you went undercover for a few days?”“…”This was simply ridiculous.Sienna rolled her eyes angrily. Although she knew that Blake was only acting like this out of concern for her, many things could not be explained simply by looking at the surface. Take the Laverick family as an example—even if they kille
