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
Sienna was utterly speechless.It was a very good and powerful excuse.It was no wonder why Harry had an aura that was extremely indifferent and cold, as if he could turn things into ice, when she saw him downstairs earlier. Sienna was helpless as she rubbed her brows. ‘So, Colson, Miss White, and the rest know that I have gotten into an argument with Harry and then left in anger? So, should I take the initiative to say something to Harry to end this cold war in order to show that my anger has subsided?’Sienna sighed and lay directly on the bed as she pretended to be dead. ‘Forget it. I’m exhausted.’Bona blinked, and her face was filled with innocence as she asked, “Nene, did I come up with a bad excuse?”“No, it’s very good. Bona, you’re so smart.”Sienna patted the young girl’s head to comfort her.Bona saw the bandage on Sienna’s arm and exclaimed, “Nene, you’re injured!”“Oh, it’s just a superficial injury. I’m fine.”“No, there’s blood coming out!” Bona was so anx
The wind blew, and there were wrinkles in the lake.Her heart was also in turmoil.Sienna looked away. Of course, she did not really mean to leave, not to mention, the things that she brought with her had not come in handy yet.Sienna broke away from Harry’s grip, then walked to the group of rocks where she had just sat down and picked up a bag on the ground which contained more than a dozen hand-folded paper cranes.There was a small candle on top of the paper cranes, and a paper-folded disc was placed underneath. The candles could be lit and then placed in the water. Sienna took out a lighter, lit a few, then put them in the water. After that, she looked at Harry, raised her brows, and said, “Here, want to do it together?”Harry sat down beside her. He looked at the delicate paper crane in his hand, then thought for a moment and asked, “Did you fold all these?” “Yes.” Sienna looked at the faint candlelight on the water and said slowly, “When I was young at about the age of e
Eagor was immediately excited. It flew twice around Sienna before returning to its nest.By a lake, a few kilometers away from Lang Garden.Harry’s eyelashes were half drooping under the moonlight. His thick eyelashes cast a layer of shadow on his eyelids, and his handsome face looked extremely secretive. It seemed as if he was covered with a layer of fog which was light and stunning, but it was impossible to see him clearly. Sienna sat down next to him.This was a group of rocks, which was cold and uncomfortable.But that was not the point. The point was that she was here.A trace of surprise flashed across Harry’s eyes, and there was also a certain emotion on his usually calm and unperturbed face as he asked, “Why are you here?” Sienna looked at the lake in front of her, raised her eyes, and said, “I can’t let you enjoy such beautiful scenery alone.”Under the moonlight, there were layers of mountains and rivers in front of them, and the neatly planted pines and cypresses s
Sienna paused for a moment and subconsciously replied, “Aren’t we going to Scott Mansion to see Lady Scott tomorrow?” “We are going to Scott Mansion to see my grandmother tomorrow. Just accompany me tonight, okay?”The corners of Harry’s mouth curled into a shallow arc, and the clear aura around his body dispersed. He was extremely gentle. “Okay?”Sienna keenly felt that Harry’s speech at the moment was different from usual, but she could not tell what the difference was. After a brief moment of hesitation, she declined, “It’s already very late. Let’s rest early.”“Okay.”Harry got up. He was still smiling as he said, “Goodnight, then.”He then left.The dining room instantly became quiet, and Harry’s invisible charming aura gradually dissipated. The crystal lamp above Sienna’s head did not move and was emitting a warm glow.Sienna wiped her mouth, then got up and left the dining room.When she was about to go upstairs to her room to rest, she inadvertently heard someone
‘At this time, an elderly pretty boy lost the light in his eyes.’‘The person who left the comment above should compensate me! You caused me to drop my mask because I laughed!’When the production team saw that the effect was so good, they decided to let Keegan move around in the virtual world longer before letting him down.It so happened that the live broadcast time was too short, and the viewers were reluctant to leave the live broadcast room because of the high popularity and the heated discussions. As such, they simply made Keegan perform a 360-degree spin!…When Sienna returned to Lang Garden, she received the income from this live broadcast. With Harry’s crazy reward and the accumulation of countless gift rewards that she had received from hundreds of millions of viewers, Sienna made quite a considerable income.In addition, this live broadcast was a great success. It had great popularity, and the Universal Atrium would also get a huge share of the profit.Sienna was sat
Quentin was stunned for a moment. He could not bear it, and he immediately stepped forward and carried Clara, then walked out without saying a word.After he left, Christina, who had been watching this scene, sneered and said, “Pfft, she’s really good at putting on an act. Clara is really a master when it comes to manipulating men.”The live recording stopped here.This was probably the shortest episode of the live broadcast of the large-scale reality variety program, Ninja Survival, and it was probably the most thought-provoking episode.Quentin brought Clara to the hospital.Hank went home with lingering fears.The other guests who also ‘died’ also dispersed in groups of twos and threes. Jonas tried to speak to Sienna, but Sienna ignored him several times. In the end, he could only bow his head and leave in frustration. The live broadcast this time was extremely popular, and many media and reporters were gathered at the entrance of the Universal Atrium.They flocked up fra
Jonas suddenly came to his senses. He let go of Clara’s hand and ran wildly in the direction of the mountain and forest!He would only be facing death if he were to go there in the face of such raging flames. It was even more likely that he would not be able to find Sienna anywhere.But he went anyway.Hank, who was on the beach, had sobered up and was witnessing everything that had just happened. When he looked at Jonas’s back, he mocked, “At least, he still has a conscience.”But at this moment, a person fell down from the mountain wall.She was covered in blood and bruises. It was Sienna.Jonas glanced at her inadvertently. The moment he saw Sienna, he stopped in time, ran over, and asked, “Sienna, how did you get hurt so badly?” Sienna pointed at the high mountain wall and said indifferently, “It’s good enough that I survived.” Hank gulped and made a bold assumption, “Sienna, you… you didn’t rock-climb all the way down, did you?”“Yes.” Sienna nodded lightly. When Ha
In Clara’s eyes, as long as she cried and acted coquettishly, everything would be over just like that.It was just like every other time in the past. However, what she did not expect was that Jonas, who was watching her cry, was indifferent as he asked her a question in a tone that was so calm that it seemed almost unfamiliar to her. “Clara, did you really take care of me?”“…” Clara’s face was instantly pale. When Jonas was unconscious, she was busy being intimate with Quentin in order to enhance and strengthen her relationship with him.Clara said that she took care of him, but in fact, she had only been sitting next to him. Moreover, she was not the first to find out that he was down with a high fever. “Jonas…”Clara wanted to explain, but Jonas interrupted her indifferently, “Clara, I was still conscious even when I was unconscious.”Because he was conscious, he knew of Clara’s indifference and contempt for him; because he was conscious, he knew that Clara and Quentin
Christina was already waiting for him. When she saw that Quentin had opened his eyes, she walked forward with a smile and described everything that happened when he was unconscious to him in great detail.Christina was afraid that Quentin would not believe her, so she deliberately borrowed the staff’s cell phone to view the archive of each time period of the live broadcast. “Quentin, come here and take a look.”…In the virtual world, not long after Jonas had carried Hank ashore, he heard a second explosion in the forest!He suddenly raised his head and looked toward the cliff. His heartbeat quickened in an instant, and his mind even went blank.He escaped, but what about Sienna?There was only one parachute cloth. He landed successfully with Hank, but what about Sienna?Jonas raised his head, and his eyes suddenly flushed red in an instant. He originally thought that Sienna was urging him to jump down because she wanted to do an experiment. As such, he never thought that he
‘It is a fact that Clara didn’t hesitate to push Jonas from behind so that she could escape when they encountered the red fire ants before. Is this also considered right? Doesn’t this give you chills or make you feel scared? ‘Let me ask you, what will you feel when you’re facing the person that you’re desperately trying to protect and she suddenly stretches out her hands to push you to your death? Can you still empathize with her then? Can you still praise her for being kind? I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.’When the super fan was done speaking, the live broadcast room was even more deadly silent.However, Clara did not know anything about this.When she was desperately running forward, the only thoughts in her mind were to escape as soon as possible, find rescue as soon as possible, and then go back alive…Although she liked Quentin and also wanted to marry into the Kane family and become the veritable young mistress of the Kane family, the premise was that she would have to sur
