The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 733 - 774: Found Completely Different Results

Chapter 733: Chapter 774: Found Completely Different Results

Sienna Johnson couldn’t forget the viciousness with which Elliot Carpenter had beaten Adrian Desmond; he had seemed truly intent on killing him. Adrian cherished their past friendship, but had any of them ever cherished their friendship with him? If Adrian had wronged the Carpenter family, it was only by not keeping his promise to marry Melanie Carpenter. In matters of the heart, if there’s no affection, what’s the point of forcing it? What meaning is there in staying together? It wasn’t selfishness that made Sienna want to keep Adrian from the Carpenter family; Elliot Carpenter’s unsettling nature and Melanie’s deep-seated hatred for her were reason enough. If Adrian truly wanted to make peace with the Carpenter family, he could only divorce her and marry Melanie. Only in this way could the Carpenter family’s anger and resentment be appeased.

Lucas Robertson was efficient. In just one day, he had uncovered the full story of that day’s incident.

It turned out that on that day, Melanie had already set her sights on Adrian, scheming to use the crowd to force his hand into marriage. However, she never got the chance.

Later, after Sienna and Melanie quarreled, Melanie, harboring deep resentment, maliciously gave Adrian a large dose of a drug, intending to kill both Sienna and her unborn child.

Sienna had been right about Melanie’s malicious intentions.

"Madam, Sixth Master has also sent people to investigate. Do you want to tell him the results?" Lucas asked.

"He doesn’t believe Melanie did it. Since you’re the one who investigated for me, and your findings specifically point to Melanie drugging him, Sixth Master might think we deliberately framed her," Sienna said expressionlessly.

"With Sixth Master’s abilities, it’s not difficult for him to find out whether Melanie did it or not. We don’t need to meddle."

"I understand."

"You may go."

"Yes."

Just as Lucas was about to leave, Adrian walked in. The two met, and Lucas nodded to Adrian before departing.

Adrian walked over to Sienna and sat down beside her. "You had Lucas investigate too?" he asked.

"Yes." Sienna didn’t hide it from him.

"So, what were the findings?"

Sienna took a sip of her floral tea. Without looking up, she said, "Sixth Master, you seem so pleased coming to see me. You must have your findings as well. It seems the results are just as you wished." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"It wasn’t Melanie who did it, but Bella Ford, who was by her side!"

Sienna glanced at Adrian, a cold smile forming in her heart. How interesting. Lucas found out it was Melanie, yet Adrian’s investigation points to Bella Ford, who was by her side!

"Then Melanie must be the mastermind!"

"Regardless, it wasn’t Melanie who did it. You can rest easy now."

Sienna remained silent.

"What kind of attitude is that?" Adrian accused her. "Are you dissatisfied now that it turns out not to be Melanie? Would you only be happy if it *was* her?"

"Yes, I’m very disappointed that the investigation found it wasn’t Melanie!"

"You!"

Sienna suddenly couldn’t bear to look at Adrian. She put down her teacup and rose to leave.

Sienna knew Lucas’s skill in investigation and his cautious nature; he would never report something to her unless he was absolutely certain. Lucas had found it was Melanie, yet Adrian insisted it wasn’t. How could Sienna not be suspicious? Years ago, when Melanie kidnapped Curly and nearly harmed her, Adrian had merely sent Melanie to a Psychiatric Hospital. Adrian was intentionally protecting Melanie.

「...」

After the incident where Melanie drugged Adrian, Sienna became even more determined to return to Sileria City.

However, Sileria City wasn’t safe, and Abyanabad was even less so... Sienna felt as if she were being pushed to the edge of a cliff. One wrong step, and she could plummet, shattering into pieces. What should she do?

"Sienna, Sienna..." Kiki called out to the distracted Sienna.

"What’s wrong?"

"You’ve cut off all the flowers."

Sienna looked down. She had snipped all the blossoms from their stems with the scissors. The flowers, severed from their branches, made a pitiful sight.

"Sienna, what on earth are you thinking about? You’ve been so absent-minded these past few days."

There were many things Sienna could confide in Lucas but not in the innocent Kiki. To Kiki, she said, "I’m thinking about how to throw you a grand wedding ceremony..."

Lucas had chosen the right person to persuade Kiki; after Sienna spoke with her, Kiki had indeed agreed to marry Lucas.

"Actually, there’s no need for a grand wedding. As long as everyone sits down together for a meal, it’s fine."

Sienna deliberately feigned misunderstanding. "Not even married yet, and you’re already trying to save money for Lucas? Hmph! Trying to fob us off with just one meal? No way!"

Kiki said shyly, "No, that’s not it."

"Don’t worry about the wedding; I’ll handle it. You just focus on being the bride," Sienna reassured her.

"But your belly is getting so big. I’m just worried it’ll be too tiring for you..."

Sienna pinched Kiki’s chin, teasing like a playful rogue, "Ah, Kiki, you really are the one who treats me best, much better than certain others..."

"Am I not good enough to you?"

The light of the setting sun was suddenly blocked. Sienna recognized Adrian’s voice but didn’t even lift her head, the smile on her face fading.

Adolph Desmond also came over and greeted, "How are you, Madam?"

"How are the wedding preparations?" Sienna ignored Adrian completely.

Adolph respectfully said, "I came to ask Madam for instructions regarding the scale of the wedding and the total budget."

"Do it according to the scale of Sixth Master and Melanie Carpenter’s wedding back then!" Sienna declared.

Cold sweat beaded on Adolph’s forehead.

Within the Desmond Family, with Madam and Sixth Master in a cold war, the servants were also having a difficult time.

"This... I..."

Sienna cut Adolph short. "Uncle Desmond, you were the one who arranged Sixth Master’s wedding to Melanie Carpenter back then. You have the most experience, so we’re entrusting Kiki’s wedding to you. Money is not an issue. Tomorrow, Kathryn will come. You can discuss the specific expenses with her, and she will transfer the funds to you."

"Madam, that’s not what I meant."

"That’s how we’ll do it!" Sienna made the final decision, leaving Adolph no room to object.

Adolph secretly glanced at Adrian. Adrian’s expression was very unpleasant; it was a look that would have made anyone else fall silent. However, Sienna clearly lacked such awareness and, moreover, wasn’t afraid of angering Adrian.

"All of you, leave!" Adrian said to those present who were not directly involved.

Kiki glanced anxiously at Sienna. "Sienna, I’ll... I’ll leave first then."

"Wait for me, let’s leave together!" Sienna also rose. Kiki cautiously glanced at Sixth Master, only to find his expression had grown even uglier. She froze, not daring to move.

"What are you standing there for? Let’s go," Sienna urged.

"Oh." Kiki took Sienna’s hand, and the two were about to leave together when Adrian grabbed Sienna’s arm, stopping her.

"Don’t go! I have something to say to you!"
