"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
Under the dim light, the man’s beautiful pair of eyes looked as deep as the sea with a deadly fatal allure, as if they could suck people in.“Harry?”Sienna almost bit her tongue.She overreacted like a cat who was suddenly frightened, and her beautiful pupils were so dilated that they were big and round. Harry leaned closer to her and let out a low laugh as he said, “Nene, there is a study that says people’s pupils will only dilate when they see someone they love. You’re looking at me like this now. Do you love me?”The medicinal scent came at the moment when he got closer to her.The cold and domineering aura belonging to Harry was very pervasive, with an invading energy that surrounded her little by little.Sienna felt her heart skip a beat. She dodged angrily and said, “If that's true, there must be many people who love me, then!”Harry raised his eyes and asked, “Huh?”His tone was neither light nor heavy, but it had a somewhat dangerous aura. Sienna simply sat up as s
“What is it?”Sienna was puzzled.In the next second, the man’s low and provocative voice sounded in her ear—“Nene, remember to take me with you the next time you run away from home.”‘Nene, remember to take me with you the next time you run away from home.’It felt like fireworks had exploded in the dark night sky; it felt like a seed buried in the soil which had suddenly sprouted; it felt like ripples on a calm lake. Sienna sat on the big bed and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.Harry left the room. In order to put what he has said about applying medication for her twice a day into practice, he even took the medical kit away on purpose!Sienna rubbed her temple.Not long after, the closed room door was pushed open again.This time, it was Bona who came in. The young girl had a silly smile on her face with a hint of triumph as she walked in and said, “Nene, I made soup for you to nourish your body!”‘Is it really soup, though?’Sienna’s eyelids twit
The person who opened the door was a young man who was about the same age as Colson. He had a svelte appearance, was gentlemanly, scholarly, and also had a soft expression and a smile that showed just the right amount of alienation and intimacy. He was neither aggressive, nor did he seem too cold.Sienna knew him.To be precise, there was indeed such a person in the original owner’s memory.His name was Simon.He was Colson’s classmate and long-time friend. The original owner had met Simon several times before.Simon asked, “Is my brother here?”“Yes. Come in.” Simon smiled and stepped aside. After Sienna came in, he closed the door and said, “Your brother has been looking for you for several days now. He did not sleep at all last night, and he even took me with him to look for you. He’s just fallen asleep now. I’ll go and get him.”“Okay.”Sienna nodded and then said, “Sorry for making you guys worry.”Simon smiled and did not say anything.Soon, Colson, who heard the ne
That’s right. He was deliberately using breakfast as an excuse to send Colson away.He simply did not expect that Sienna would see right through it. Simon became even more and more certain of what he had in mind. He went straight to the point as he said, “Sister, you’re not Sienna, are you?” Sienna also made a cup of tea for herself. She moved gracefully and skillfully, with the upbringing that had been engraved in her since childhood. Every complex and tedious move that she made was very pleasing to the eyes. After taking a sip, Sienna asked, “Why are you asking?”Since Simon had already said that, there was no need for her to continue hiding anything. Simon expressed his thoughts to her and said, “Colson and I have been friends for more than ten years, and I’ve met his sister several times. However, you don’t seem to be the same person to me at all.”It was exactly as he had warned Colson last time. The former Sienna was taciturn and extremely filial to Keegan.But nowadays
