Chapter 831: Chapter 847: Standing By While Others Die
"I want to be alone for a while, you don’t need to follow me," Adrian Desmond said irritably.
"Wherever Sixth Master goes, I’ll drive you there," Marion said respectfully.
"No need!"
Marion looked at Adrian with concern, faintly smelling the scent of blood. He examined Adrian and saw traces of blood from the cuff of his shirt.
"Sixth Master, are you hurt? You smell of blood." People like them are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.
"No!"
Adrian strode out, leaving Marion deep in thought.
...
Sienna Johnson was in the room, having waited so long, but Adrian had not returned. Later, Sienna couldn’t resist and fell asleep, waking up to find it was already daylight.
He promised to come back early, but not only did he not come back, he didn’t even return for the night. Sienna was unhappy.
"Sixth Master came back last night, but for some reason, he went out again," Sally reported to Sienna.
"Did he say what it was about?"
"No."
Sienna frowned; Adrian had gone out with Elliot Carpenter yesterday. She did not know what Elliot had said to Adrian.
Could it be that Adrian and Elliot were together last night?
What exactly does that impostor, Elliot Carpenter, intend to do to Adrian? As Sienna thought harder, she felt unwell again.
"Sienna Johnson!"
Hearing the voice of someone she disliked so early in the morning, Sienna felt her mood for the whole day would be ruined.
Melanie Carpenter, wearing a red dress and heavy makeup early in the morning, barged into Sienna’s room.
"Miss Carpenter, visiting my house so early, did you have a sleepless night, or is it menstrual disorder or menopause?" Sienna said unceremoniously.
"I slept very well last night. It’s just that my window faces Mirror Lake, and I really dislike the lotus flowers in it," Melanie said arrogantly.
Sienna looked at Melanie, seeing her entire demeanor as a small-minded person who had gotten their way.
"Did you sleep at my house last night?"
"What do you mean by ’your house’? I stayed at my Sixth Brother’s house."
Sienna smiled meaningfully at Melanie, causing a chill in Melanie’s heart, for she knew Sienna was not to be trifled with.
"Since you like living here so much, feel free to stay."
"Even if you disagree, I’ll stay here. This is my Sixth Brother’s house!" Melanie would not acknowledge Sienna’s role as the female head of the house.
Sienna slightly squinted at Melanie, smiling. To Melanie, that smile was very bizarre, and despite the heat of summer, it sent a chill down her spine.
"Then stay," she said slowly after a scrutinizing glance at Melanie. "I hope you have the guts to continue staying here!"
"Sienna Johnson, what are you going to do?"
"What I’m going to do, you’ll know soon enough. Why rush... Sally, press harder."
Sienna had slept in her clothes last night, and her neck was sore, so Sally was massaging her.
"Yes, Madam!"
Melanie came early in the morning just to annoy Sienna. She wanted to see Sienna lose her temper upon learning she was staying there, but clearly, Sienna did not react as she expected.
Seeing that Melanie still had not left, looking for trouble, Sienna was not polite either. "Don’t you take care of yourself? Look at the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes. When a woman’s eyes age, the whole person ages."
"You’re the old one."
Melanie instinctively retorted, seeing Sienna’s flawless skin and radiant face, just like that witch from years ago, and she felt both ashamed and angry.
Why do the wicked live so well while she lives in such pain?
"Sienna Johnson, let me tell you, I’m staying here just to annoy you! Didn’t you say you don’t like me? I’m going to flaunt myself right in front of you! Hopefully..." Her gaze stopped on Sienna’s belly, cursing, "You’ll be so upset that you’ll lose that little bastard in your belly."
Sienna was infuriated by Melanie, taking a deep breath to calm down. The doctor had advised her to keep a peaceful state of mind recently.
"Haha... Let me tell you one more thing, Sixth Brother will soon fall in love with me, and not love you anymore."
"Oh?" Sienna keenly caught some useful information from that statement, but Melanie stopped speaking.
"Melanie Carpenter, you think Adrian will fall in love with you? Hah..."
