The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 732 - 773: Malicious Intentions

"It’s not that I’m prejudiced against Melanie Carpenter, but in this matter, other than her, I can’t think of anyone else who has a motive."

"The person who drugged Adrian Desmond is so sinister. If I wanted to protect my unborn child after Adrian was drugged, I would have been forced to find another woman for him. They knew perfectly well that I couldn’t tolerate another woman in his life, yet they played such a despicable trick on me."

Sienna Johnson’s eyes flashed with anger. She wished she could give the person who drugged Adrian a taste of their own medicine.

Indeed, it was vicious. With Sienna’s personality, if she found out Adrian had slept with another woman, she would likely hold a grudge for the rest of her life, and they would never be able to truly confide in each other again.

"Uncle Desmond and I will handle the wedding arrangements, so you don’t need to worry about it. Go and find out who drugged Adrian that day." After a pause, Sienna continued, "If it really was Melanie Carpenter, then after you and Kiki get married, we’ll return to Sileria City immediately."

"Sixth Master won’t let you go."

"If it comes down to it, we’ll just run away again!"

Lucas Robertson looked exasperated. "Madam, I don’t have the ability to sneak you and your family away right under Adrian’s nose."

"We’ll see."

After explaining this, Sienna looked at Lucas and asked, "About the wedding, what kind do you want? Western-style, or a traditional Abyanabad ceremony?"

"Ask Kiki; I have no preference."

"Aren’t you getting married? Haven’t you discussed the wedding with Kiki yet?"

Lucas let out an awkward laugh. "Regarding the wedding, Kiki has never really been willing..."

"Don’t tell me she doesn’t know anything about the wedding!"

Lucas smiled without answering. Sienna looked at him, truly at a loss for words. This man could be so absurd sometimes.

Kiki had gotten engaged to Samuel Palmer, Lucas had regretted it, and without a word, he’d just abducted her. Now they were even starting to plan the wedding, and the bride-to-be was completely in the dark!

"Madam, please talk to Kiki about the wedding. She always listens to you. If you’re the one to ask, she’ll definitely agree to marry me," Lucas said, trying to maneuver Sienna.

"Should I help you with your wedding night too?" Sienna retorted sarcastically.

"I can handle the wedding night myself, Madam. There’s no need for you to worry about that. It’s not like you have any particular expertise in the matter."

Sienna glared at him, warning, "Lucas, I’m warning you, if you ever dare to mistreat Kiki, I won’t let you off!"

Lucas met Sienna’s gaze, his tone earnest and serious. "I will treat her well, until the day I die!"

"You’d better remember what you said to me today!"

"I won’t forget!"

"I’ll talk to Kiki about the wedding. Meanwhile, you take care of the task I just assigned you," Sienna said with a sigh.

Lucas watched Sienna, his fists clenched. After some thought, he decided to tell her everything about how Adrian had recruited him.

"...However, I really can’t find any information about Night Owl. That person left no trace, as if he never existed in this world at all."

Sienna looked down at the anklet on her ankle, feeling uneasy. Night Owl was like a sword hanging over her head. Even though he was currently inactive, she didn’t dare to let her guard down for a moment.

"...He threatened me with Curly, forcing me to find out the location of Adrian’s arms shipment. After I told him, he made no further moves..." She jiggled the anklet on her ankle and continued, "Although he’s vanished for now, this anklet is a constant reminder of Night Owl’s existence."

Lucas added, "I also feel he won’t give up so easily."

Sienna felt uncertain and asked Lucas, "I don’t want to get involved in their war. If we return to Sileria City, do you think he’ll leave us alone?"

Lucas looked intently at Sienna. "What on earth did Sixth Master do to make you want to leave him and go back to Sileria City?"

"Abyanabad is nice, but it’s not my home. I never planned to stay permanently when I first came. I don’t feel safe here. If Adrian hadn’t stopped me, I would have returned long ago. Besides, by staying here, I only cause trouble for him and can’t help him with anything. It would be better to go back to Sileria City."

"Madam, running away won’t solve the problem! Unless you and Sixth Master completely sever ties, those who want to harm Sixth Master will still target you. And as for Night Owl, judging from his actions so far, he doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to kill Sixth Master. Instead, it’s more like he’s..." Lucas stopped abruptly.

"Like what?"

"I’ve heard you have more bodyguards than Sixth Master. If Night Owl simply wanted to kill Sixth Master, he would have targeted him directly. Why would he repeatedly make you his target... I suspect Night Owl intends to torment Sixth Master mentally."

"Explain more clearly!"

"It’s only a guess. I’ve dealt with many criminals before. When they kill, many don’t rush to finish off their victims; they prefer to torture them to death slowly.

"In 2011, a heinous crime occurred in Neovermont, Westoria. The entire Smith family, nine people, were killed by the perpetrator one by one. Each time the suspect murdered one of Mr. Smith’s relatives, he would savor Mr. Smith’s anguish. When Mr. Smith couldn’t bear it anymore and tried to commit suicide, the criminal even saved him...

"It wasn’t until the criminal had killed Mr. Smith’s youngest grandson that he finally, brutally, murdered Mr. Smith himself..."

Sienna shuddered. "Could Night Owl try to harm my family?"

"I don’t know. But he’s already targeted you, hasn’t he?"

Sienna’s expression faltered. Images of her family members flashed through her mind one by one—their faces, and finally, Curly’s radiant smile. She couldn’t imagine, if her family and daughter were harmed, whether she would still have the courage to continue loving Adrian.

"Lucas, what should I do?" Sienna asked helplessly.

"He must desperately want to see you and Sixth Master break up. What you need to do now is stand united with Sixth Master and confront Night Owl together! Don’t go back to Sileria City. Madam, Sileria City is no longer safe..."

"I want to be of one mind with Adrian, but he isn’t with me!"

"...Look on the bright side. Sixth Master is a man of deep affection. That’s far better than him being heartless and disloyal to his own family," Lucas tried to console her.

"Unfortunately, even if he cares for them, they might not care for him in return!"
