Chapter 838: Chapter 850: I’m Sorry, Mrs. Desmond (Part 2)
"I sent three groups of people to investigate, and the final suspect pointed to... Elliot Carpenter!"
Adrian Desmond didn’t tell Sienna Johnson. He suddenly recalled the times he drank some weird-tasting liquor at the Carpenter Family...
Liquor could be spicy, but it should never have a strange taste. He even had someone specifically find ******, realizing that peculiar smell was very similar to ******.
Adrian felt very uncomfortable now, very uncomfortable. He asked himself, what hadn’t he done enough for the Carpenter Family, except breaking promises and not marrying Melanie Carpenter, he thought he had acted with utmost kindness, yet they wanted to poison him to death.
Elliot Carpenter blamed him for breaking promises, Melanie Carpenter blamed him for his heartlessness, but he just didn’t love Melanie Carpenter, what could he do?
In matters of love, if one could just decide to love or not to love, he definitely would have married Melanie Carpenter back then, letting Sienna Johnson return to her world.
He tried to make up for it, as much as he could.
The Carpenter Family turned all his efforts into a joke.
"Adrian, are you okay?"
"Sienna, you’re so smart, tell me, why would he want to harm me?" Adrian spoke, hurt.
"What if he isn’t really your uncle?"
In the face of setbacks, women are far stronger than men. Sienna Johnson stopped crying after a while and said,
"If you don’t believe it, then just do another paternity test."
"Alright!" Adrian agreed. Sienna knew Adrian was starting to doubt, and she was worried he would keep being stubborn.
"Tomorrow, have Reggie Dewey do a comprehensive check-up for you. There’s nothing to fear from poisoning. In this world, everything is countered with its counterpart. Where there’s poison, there’s an antidote, we just need to figure out what poison you’ve been afflicted with."
"..."
"Once we know what poison it is, we can use the corresponding antidote to cure it... Our family runs a pharmaceutical factory; I refuse to believe we can’t cure you."
Sienna Johnson walked over and held Adrian Desmond, his face buried in her ****, like a vulnerable child.
"Sienna, is my Uncle truly dead?"
"Yes, he died long ago... If the uncle who cherished you were still alive, how could he ever poison you?"
"..."
"Adrian, wake up, stop living in a fantasy. The man now is definitely not the uncle who loved you like a son." Sienna pressed Adrian to face reality.
She wouldn’t allow Elliot Carpenter to manipulate Adrian’s feelings for his uncle any longer.
Adrian lifted his head, clarity in his eyes, "You’re right, I shouldn’t live in illusions, refusing to face reality! My uncle... is dead... the uncle who loved me as his son is dead...
He died many years ago!
The man poisoning me now is not my uncle.
My uncle... he would never poison me! No matter what I did, my uncle would never have the heart to harm me."
"..."
"He deceived me, played me for a fool, I won’t forgive him!"
She cupped his face, encouraging him, "This man now is absolutely not your uncle, so you don’t need to grieve for someone like this.
What we need to do now is figure out who he really is?
Why is he poisoning you?"
"..."
"Additionally, we still don’t know his background. You need to keep dealing with him without alerting him.
He knows so much about you, things only you and your uncle would know. We need to find out how he knows.
What is he trying to do, and does he have accomplices..."
Adrian looked at Sienna and smiled, "Indeed, it’s best to find a smart wife, and luckily, I found a clever wife."
While he was confused, she had always remained clear-headed.
Sienna noticed a smile on his face, deliberately teasing him, "Didn’t you say you wanted a pretty wife? Initially, you saved me because I was pretty.
What, has the Sixth Master matured now, able to appreciate a woman’s substance!"
"Being pretty is a basic requirement!"
"Shallow!"
"Yes, I am a shallow fool!" Adrian appeared shattered, vulnerable, "You got played entirely!"
"You’re not a fool, you are Adrian Desmond, the renowned Sixth Master of Amwaka, he just exploited your feelings for your uncle.
Adrian, stay strong, we have so much more to do."
Sienna Johnson encouraged and cheered up Adrian, knowing this was when he needed encouragement the most.
"You’re only allowed to be upset for one night! Sleep it off, by dawn, you must become the Adrian you used to be!"
Men sometimes behave like children and need women to coerce them.
Sienna Johnson felt exhausted mentally.
"Mm!"
"..."
"Sorry, Mrs. Desmond!"
"It’s alright, Sixth Master!"
"Do you hate me?"
"Yes, a bit."
Sienna gently stroked Adrian’s coarse hair, as if grooming a playful puppy.
"I will listen to everything you say in the future."
"I don’t believe it!"
"I swear!"
"..."
"Tomorrow, I’ll have Adolph Desmond send Melanie Carpenter away." Adrian expressed his resolve.
"No, I still have use for Melanie Carpenter. Moreover, we just agreed we can’t alert the enemy. Sending Melanie away would tip off that impostor that we’ve seen through his disguise, wouldn’t it?"
"What are you planning to do with Melanie Carpenter?"
"Why, are you feeling sorry again?" Sienna’s voice sharpened.
Adrian sighed, "I’m heartbroken with the Carpenter Family; treat her however you see fit."
Adrian had abandoned his marriage with Melanie Carpenter, yet he always indulged her.
Melanie pretended to be his wife, tangled with other men, and even brought forth a child. Adrian chose to facilitate it, but Melanie wouldn’t leave.
Adrian had given Melanie four large sums over time, all squandering away.
