Chapter 867: Chapter 868: Returning the Property to Adrian Desmond (2)
Sienna Johnson listened and didn’t have much of a reaction, only saying, "Hasn’t she always been crazy?"
"True, a normal person wouldn’t do those things. It’s good if she’s truly gone mad, she won’t know the pain anymore."
Melly didn’t tell Sienna that Melanie Carpenter is now severely deranged, forcing people to call her "Mrs. Desmond" and constantly claiming Adrian Desmond is her husband.
Sienna Johnson got dressed, skipped breakfast, and went straight to Reggie Dewey’s place.
Reggie Dewey had stayed up all night, his eyes were bloodshot. He placed a medicine bottle in front of Sienna Johnson, saying, "Let Sixth Master drink this, and the poison can be neutralized?"
"Are there any side effects?"
Reggie Dewey said, "All medicines have some toxicity, definitely there are side effects. But they’re not severe. Continue detoxing for a while, and everything will be fine."
Reggie Dewey couldn’t help but yawn, looking extremely tired. Russell Austin made him a cup of black coffee and placed it in front of him, but Sienna Johnson didn’t let him drink it.
"Coffee is for staying awake, don’t drink it, go rest. This time, thank you both."
Russell Austin wasn’t doing great either, stubble evident on his chin, "President Johnson, you’re being too kind."
"I’m doubling both of your salaries."
Reggie Dewey wasn’t interested in money and said, "President Johnson, I don’t want a raise, just introduce me to a girlfriend."
"These kinds of things, you need to be self-reliant." Sienna Johnson felt both amused and helpless, wondering why everyone was asking her to play matchmaker.
"President Johnson, you like playing matchmaker for people around you, why not for me?"
"Alright, what kind do you want?"
"The Melly around you is pretty good."
They’d clearly had their eyes on each other long before, just waiting for her to connect them. Sienna Johnson looked at Reggie Dewey and said, "Melly is taller than you, though."
Height was always Reggie Dewey’s sore point!
"For my son’s future height, I can only find a taller woman. From a geic standpoint, a son’s height follows the mother’s." Reggie Dewey said confidently.
"Alright, I’ll bring it up, but I can’t guarantee anything."
"..."
"Also, if you like her, learn some Amwan Language. Melly doesn’t know Chinese or English."
"I was a top student, believe it or not, I could learn Amwan Language in a few days."
"I believe! I believe!"
Sienna Johnson was eager to get the antidote to Adrian Desmond, so as soon as she left Reggie Dewey’s place, she called Adrian Desmond immediately.
Adrian Desmond hadn’t come back last night, and Sienna Johnson rarely checked on his whereabouts like a wife.
Loyalty is something that relies on one’s conscience, if Adrian Desmond had a change of heart, Sienna Johnson didn’t believe constant surveillance and confrontation would keep him in line.
"Hello? Are you awake?" Adrian Desmond had called Melly earlier, knowing she was still sleeping.
"The antidote is ready, can you come back now?"
"Can’t go back for now."
"Haven’t you handled Dan Taylor’s issue yet?"
In Sienna Johnson’s mind, nothing was more important than Adrian Desmond’s health. She secretly hoped he would set aside everything at that moment and come back immediately.
"Handled it, I’m busy with something else now."
"When can you come back?" Sienna Johnson was anxious for Adrian Desmond to take the antidote, only then could she be at ease.
"Probably tonight!"
"Okay, I’ll wait for you."
Hearing Sienna Johnson’s tone, Adrian Desmond didn’t sense any anger, and only then did he let go of his worries.
He was truly afraid Sienna Johnson would throw a tantrum and start a cold war with him again.
"Mm, I’ll come home early tonight." Adrian Desmond’s voice turned gentle.
"Goodbye." Sienna Johnson hung up.
...
Sienna Johnson returned to her place, ate breakfast, and then had someone call Vivian Abbey over.
Indeed, as they say, people are in good spirits when something joyous happens, Vivian Abbey seemed softened with happiness, the constant smile on her lips reflecting her joy.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Vivian Abbey laughed, "Madam, it’s almost lunchtime now."
"Sigh, being pregnant really makes one lazy."
Sienna Johnson’s gaze fell on Vivian Abbey’s belly, prompting a pressing question, "Now that you’re married, and with a child on the way soon, looks like I need to hire more people."
Vivian Abbey was startled, "President Johnson, planning to fire me?"
"No, you’re pregnant, you’ll need maternity leave, right? During your leave, who will help me?
Also, a woman loses focus once she has a child.
That high-intensity work might not suit you anymore. While you’re not pregnant yet, once you go back, help me hire a few more people to train under you before your maternity leave." Sienna Johnson instructed.
"President Johnson, please don’t fire me, my husband is very poor, and I still have a mortgage and car loan to pay..."
"From what I know, Brett Jacobs’s earnings aren’t small..."
"No amount of money can withstand spending. He spends money so extravagantly, it feels like a mistress spending a man’s money." Vivian Abbey joked.
"But you’re married now. He has to support the family."
Vivian Abbey said nonchalantly, "I can support myself and the child."
"Then why did you get a husband?"
"To have a child! I can’t have one on my own."
Sienna Johnson: ...
"President Johnson, why did you call me here today? It’s not just for old times’ sake, is it?"
"You should know that recently Adrian Desmond transferred all his assets to my name."
Vivian Abbey said, "I’m aware. Sixth Master treats Madam very well."
Sienna Johnson gave a slight chuckle, "Then you surely don’t know how extravagantly Adrian Desmond spends money. His daily expenses I’ll overlook, but buying diamonds and jewelry for Curly like buying stones; gifting each of Dan Taylor’s dozen wives a Porsche sports car. Last night, Dan Taylor gambled and owed over 12 million, and it was Adrian Desmond who stepped in...
Presumably, that money was still out of Adrian Desmond’s own pocket."
