Chapter 844: Chapter 854: Giving All My Assets to My Wife

"Can’t the blood tests detect it? And what about the powder I gave you, or the residue of liquid on the handkerchief, can’t you detect anything from those?" Sienna Johnson asked.

"The white powder is ******. The liquid is too little, and we can’t experiment sample by sample, plus the composition is too complex, likely a mix of various drug components... We also..." Reggie Dewey was somewhat frustrated, "... I really want to meet the person who made this drug now."

"So what should we do?"

"President Johnson, can you try to get more samples of the liquid? If we have more samples, we can conduct multiple tests and detect most of its components, even if not all."

Sienna Johnson thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, I’ll try to get more."

Sienna thought of Melanie Carpenter; now she could only approach Melanie to get more samples.

If necessary, she would have Adrian Desmond try the "handsome man" strategy.

"... Since we don’t know the poison’s components, what about Adrian?"

Wait to die?

Sienna would never allow such a thing to happen!

Russell Austin said, "Taking some detoxifying medication is never a bad idea. Start with a period of detoxing meds and see the effects."

"I understand."

"..."

"Also, Adrian’s poisoning needs to be kept confidential. You’re here for an international pharmaceutical conference, understood?"

The annual international pharmaceutical conference was held in Abyanabad this year. Sienna used this as an excuse to bring Reggie and his team.

Now that the enemy was hidden, Sienna had to act with discretion.

As long as they continued poisoning Adrian, she would catch them sooner or later!

...

From the moment she left the laboratory, Sienna Johnson was gloomy, and Adrian’s attempts to amuse her were in vain.

"Can you not act like this? I’m not dead yet, am I?"

"..."

"Don’t you cry..."

"Adrian, I don’t want to talk to you right now. Let me be alone for a bit!" she said weakly.

Tired! So very tired!

"I’ll walk you back to your room, and then I’ll leave, is that okay?"

Adrian followed Sienna, watching her slightly bent back as if weighed down by life’s burdens, and felt a pang in his heart.

He strode up to her and hugged her tightly from behind, "Maybe, I should have let you go back then!"

"You can still let me go now," Sienna retorted sarcastically.

"Not now, I like you too much. If you leave, what’s the point of my life?"

"Selfish jerk!" Sienna teased him but without any blame in her words.

"This life, you’ll be with me, and if there’s a next life, I’ll be with you, wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, I’ll be there with you."

Since finding out he was poisoned, maybe out of fear that he wouldn’t have much time left, Adrian had so much to say to Sienna.

"What if there’s no next life, that would be a bad deal for me."

"To make it up to you, come with me to the court tomorrow, and I’ll transfer all my assets to your name," Adrian said earnestly.

"No need... I..."

"Let’s just go, I’ll take you back to your room, then I’ll be out of your sight, out of your mind."

Sienna looked at Adrian, comforting him, as well as herself, "Adrian, you’ll be okay."

"Of course I’ll be okay!" He took her hand and led her towards their residence.

Passing by Mirrald Lake, he picked her a large bunch of lotus flowers, took them back, and put them in a vase for her.

The calming scent of the lotus, he hoped it would bring her a moment of peace.

...

At the court,

Adrian transferred all his visible assets, mainly real estate, to Sienna Johnson’s name.

Over the years, the two had maintained financial independence, and Sienna herself was a wealthy woman, so she’d never meddled in Adrian’s business, not realizing how wealthy he was.

That phrase: "My money is enough for you and the kids to squander for several lifetimes," wasn’t just words.

After leaving the court, Sienna still felt like she was floating.

Owning all this money, she might even make it onto the Forbes Rich List.

The court steps were high, more than fifty in number, and Adrian carefully supported Sienna, afraid she might fall.

"Ah..." deep in thought, Sienna still missed a step, but Adrian caught her firmly with his strong arms.

"What are you thinking about? I’ve told you several times, watch your step!" Adrian chided her, his tone stern.

"How dare you talk to me like that?"

"What’s wrong with talking to you like that?"

Sienna stood on the steps, looking up at Adrian and said, "Now that I have all this money, I think I should dump you and find a few handsome men to enjoy my life to the fullest!"

"Aren’t I a handsome man? Don’t I give you ******** every night?" Adrian replied, following along with Sienna’s joke, without getting angry.

"But you’re getting old..."

"Old men have flavor! If you find those who haven’t even fully grown hair, you’re just finding a few sons for yourself! Aren’t you afraid of trouble?"

"Did you really give me all the money?"

"I gave you all the visible money and real estate; as for the shady business, in a few days, I’ll introduce you to the person in charge, and from then on, they’ll come to you directly."

Adrian had a look of wanting to be hands-free, giving Sienna a feeling of being schemed against.

She truly couldn’t believe in the myth of pies falling from the sky.

"Aren’t you leaving?"

"Adrian..."

"Hmm?"

"Why do I feel like I’ve been trapped by you?"

"I’m already yours, and all my money is yours too? So who’s trapping whom?"

"..."

"If you run off, I’ll be left with nothing."

Sienna let go of her doubts, laughed, "That’s true."

She held Adrian’s arm, joking, "Sixth Master, you’d better flatter me well in the future, don’t make me unhappy. Your entire fortune is in my hands, and if I’m unhappy, I can kick you out anytime."

"Mrs. Desmond, please be kind."

"Sure, sure." Sienna, looking proud of her small victory, saw Adrian smile slightly.

"Adrian, now that your sister is rich, whatever you want to eat, let me know, abalone, shark fin, ginseng... as long as you can name it, I’ll buy it for you."

"I want to eat you."

"Wait until I give birth to Second before we talk about that."

"When is he going to be born?"

"Why don’t you ask him?"

"Son, when are you coming out?"

Son: ...
