Sienna looked back. Unexpectedly, she met Clara’s line of sight.In addition to Clara, there was also a girl who was about seventeen or eighteen years old staring fiercely at Sienna. That was Quentin’s younger sister, Julia. Sienna did not find it strange at all that the both of them were together. In the past, after the original owner had a marriage contract with Quentin, Julia had always disliked the original owner but had always been close to Clara instead. To be honest, Julia was indispensable at the beginning, and she was also the reason why Quentin and Clara could hook up so shamelessly.Now that the marriage contract between Sienna and Quentin had been dissolved, their relationship was already long lost. Sienna did not know why this young lady of the Kane family who had been spoiled since she was young was still so malicious toward her. There was something wrong with her!Of course, the best way to make people who did not like you feel angry was to ignore them and
Matty turned around and was about to leave.He had nothing to talk about with anyone from the Kane family.“Don’t go!”Julia was anxious. She rushed forward immediately to block Matty’s way as she said with dissatisfaction, “I came to you because I have something serious to tell you! Haven’t you always hated Sienna? We’re allies then! I have a way to make today’s engagement impossible. You…”Julia was full of confidence at first but she saw the expression on Matty’s face change before she could finish speaking. He started cursing at her in just two or three sentences!“Who the fuck do you think you are? Do we need an outsider like you to intervene in my brother and sister-in-law’s affairs? Who is your ally? How could you think so highly of yourself? You’re still thinking about stopping the engagement today, right? Get lost! The Scott family does not welcome you here! Get lost!”After Matty was done cursing, he raised his hand and called for his own bodyguards before he commanded
Julia put her cell phone away, snorted, and said, “I understand Felicity’s character best. She absolutely cannot stand to see her things being taken away by others. So, just wait and see. Sienna won’t be able to stay so arrogant for long!”Clara did not say anything, but she was thinking silently in her heart, hoping that would be the case.…The first beat of the drum sounded in the banquet hall.At the same time, fireworks bloomed outside the banquet hall. The gorgeous colors that were projected were so beautiful that they dazzled everyone.The sound of the beating of the drum meant that the banquet was about to begin. However, there was still no sign of Harry outside.Marisa stepped forward and asked cautiously, “Lady Scott, do you want to postpone the time by half an hour?”“No! We’ll proceed as planned!”Lady Scott was sitting calmly in the high hall, and she was extremely calm like a stabilizing force. Her calm and steady aura made all the guests who were silently whisp
Finally, no one was watching Sienna. Most of the guests had left the banquet one by one. “Sisi, why don’t you follow me home and stay at the mansion tonight?” Lady Scott said pleasantly to Sienna. “You left in a hurry last time, and you are officially one of the Scott Mansion’s madams now. Why don’t you take a look at your room?”Lady Scott thought, ‘Most importantly, the props, which I commanded the servants to prepare last time, haven’t come in handy yet. Those props are the key to deciding when I am going to have a great-grandchild! Opportunity is something one needs to create on their own!’Sienna didn’t give it much thought. She subconsciously wished to reject Lady Scott’s offer. Before she could say anything, she noticed that Lady Scott’s complexion had become pale and that the old lady was bending herself backward while covering her chest with her hand. Everyone was taken aback!“Grandma! Grandma!”“Lady Scott! Lady Scott!”“Oh, my god! What’s wrong with Lady Scott? She
When she heard the sound of the door being locked, Sienna was startled. She went over and attempted to twist the doorknob, but it wouldn’t budge.Marisa, who had accomplished her task, coughed lightly outside the door. “Master Harry and Young Mistress, you two should sleep early tonight, especially given how lovely the moonlight is.” She added, “The door lock appears to be malfunctioning. I’ll make arrangements for the locksmith to fix it at dawn. It seems that you two have to put up with it tonight.”With that, Marisa’s footsteps quickly disappeared.Sienna’s eyes twitched a little. ‘What an funny excuse for the housekeeper to claim that the door lock was broken. It's like she didn't even try to come up with a better excuse.’“What are we supposed to do?” Sienna looked at Harry and asked, “Have you thought of any ideas to get out of here?”“Let’s see.” Harry put down the dessert in his hand. Then, he walked over, lifted the curtains, and checked the window. The window had been
Lady Scott muttered to herself, “I've miscalculated! There's a flaw in my plan! This trick is unlikely to succeed. I need to consider other options. I have to come up with something else.”With that, Lady Scott moved her wheelchair and left. Marisa also left with her.The commotion outside the room didn't reach the interior of the bedroom. The quality of the sound insulation was extraordinary.Around two o’clock in the morning. The temperature dropped sharply again. It was a little chilly inside the bedroom. Harry’s complexion turned pale. He had trouble handling cold temperatures all these while. He covered his chest with his hand as waves of pain swept toward him while the pathogens attacked his heart. He stifled the agony while remaining silent.Sienna dropped her acting where she appeared to have fallen asleep when she sensed something was off. She lifted the quilt and sat up in bed. She approached Harry so she could check his pulse. However, Sienna was astounded when she tou
“Name it.” Harry’s gaze was burning as he locked his gaze on Sienna. A faint smile lingered on his lips.Sienna looked at the clean and tidy desktop in front of her. She pondered for a while, then tilted her head. “I haven’t decided yet. How about I decide that later?” Sienna thought, ‘It's only a matter of convenience to save him. If he can owe me a favor now, maybe that favor will come in handy later.’ “Okay!” Harry agreed with the request straight away.“Then, it’s settled!” In contentment, Sienna clapped her hands. She then took a pen and paper from the desk and began to write down the names of the herbs. There were six types of herbs in total. She also made a quick sketch of each plant based on the entries in her grandfather’s journal so that Harry could locate them easily. Sienna said, “Just try your luck and find as many of them as you can. Start visiting Lang Garden every day from now on. I'll put needles in you to contain the toxin in your body. While I can’t guarant
A young man stood behind Sienna. He had attractive features that shared approximately sixty to seventy percent of Sienna’s looks. That man was travel-worn. His once shiny leather shoes were dusty, and they looked out of place compared with the attractive and fitted tailor-made suits that he was wearing.Sienna was startled, then she gently called out to him, “Colson!”This man was the second-eldest brother of the original owner, Colson Lang. He also happened to be the family member who doted on the original owner the most.Clara had joined their family later. She was adopted as the fourth child of the Langs. However, Colson had never acknowledged Clara as his sister. In fact, he often said out loud, “I only have one sister in this life!”Among the three older brothers of the original owner, Jaime, the eldest brother, was indifferent to everyone. The original owner feared him, and the two of them did not get along well. Jonas, the third brother, firmly stood on Clara’s side. He wa
