The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 746 - 787: Let’s Make a Bet

"What kind of bet?"

Melanie Carpenter looked warily at Sienna Johnson, knowing well how cunning and difficult this woman could be.

In fact, she hadn’t expected Sienna to agree to save her father when she came over today. She just wanted Sienna to say something incriminating. If Adrian Desmond wakes up and finds out this woman stood by while someone was dying, he’ll surely become dissatisfied with her. At that time... ha ha...

Sienna continued, "If I sleep with Xavier Young and Adrian still doesn’t want to divorce me, if he still loves me so much that he can’t live without me, then you back off!"

Melanie remained silent.

"You and your father will leave my life and Adrian’s forever!" Sienna added firmly.

Sienna stared at Melanie, who stood there silently, not saying a word.

"Are you scared?"

Melanie bit her lower lip tightly.

Looking at Melanie’s expression, Sienna suddenly felt it was all too lackluster. "...Melanie, didn’t you always think I stole your man? Don’t worry, I’m not competing with you anymore. Adrian and I only shared a bed. Now that I’ve had him, I’ll return him to you!" She got out of bed, took a step forward, and whispered in Melanie’s ear, "Oh, by the way, his performance in bed is excellent. He’s skilled, creative, and has incredible stamina. He’ll make you scream and cry out, leaving you in a state of utter ecstasy..." Sienna, half a head taller than Melanie and with a more domineering aura, certainly overpowered her. "You could try him if you get a chance!"

This time, looking at the sharp-eyed woman, Melanie suddenly felt a sense of utter defeat, like a collapsing mountain.

She could never win against Sienna Johnson. All these years, she had never managed to best her, not because she was that much inferior to Sienna, but because this woman simply didn’t care. She couldn’t live without Adrian, but Sienna could! Without Adrian, she could still live well, find a new boyfriend, fall in love, get married...

"I feel it’s not worth it for Sixth Brother!" Melanie said.

Sienna tossed the ring she’d been holding to Melanie. A flash of light caught Melanie’s eye as she instinctively caught it, realizing it was a ring.

"What is this?" Melanie actually recognized the ring; it was Sienna and Adrian’s wedding ring.

Adrian also had one on his ring finger. He cherished it; she had often seen him subconsciously fiddling with the ring on his finger, identical in style to this one.

"Return it to him for me!"

Melanie was stunned. "Are you really going to break up with Sixth Brother?"

"What’s with that expression? If Sixth Brother and I break up, shouldn’t you be setting off firecrackers to celebrate?" Sienna retorted sarcastically.

Melanie was speechless.

"Get out. I’m going to see Xavier Young tomorrow!"

Melanie clenched the ring tightly. "Are you really going to see Xavier Young?"

"If you’re worried, you can come with me to see Xavier Young tomorrow!"

"No... no, Sixth Brother is still in critical condition. I need to stay here and take care of him..." Melanie, seemingly quite afraid of Sienna, turned and left. Her retreating figure looked for all the world like someone fleeing a lost battle.

"Madam... please reconsider."

"Walter Klein, I’ll have Lucas Robertson help send my family back to Sileria City in the next few days. Please don’t try to stop them." She didn’t expect their help, but the least they could do was not cause her trouble.

"This is not my decision to make. We must wait until Sixth Master wakes up."

Sienna was silent.

"Besides, Sileria City isn’t safe right now. You’d be better off keeping them on Unnamed Island; at least it’s heavily guarded there," Walter Klein advised. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"My family members are not Sixth Master’s prisoners; you can’t detain them like you detained me back then. Moreover, how safe can this place truly be? I don’t feel safe here at all. Adrian told me he was going on a business trip, and he ended up with a bullet in his heart."

"This is all Mr. Carpenter’s fault. If he hadn’t acted on his own and disobeyed Sixth Master’s orders, Sixth Master wouldn’t have been injured."

Sienna Johnson looked at Walter Klein and asked about the sequence of events. "Can you tell me how Adrian and Elliot Carpenter got involved with each other, and what were they doing in Himakati?"

Walter Klein lowered his head and said nothing.

"You’d better tell me everything that happened. Otherwise, I’ll be at a disadvantage when I go to see Xavier Young."

Walter remained silent.

"You don’t want to tell me? Fine. In that case, I can just ask Xavier Young about it. I believe Xavier Young will be more than happy to tell me."

Walter was concerned about how the story would be twisted if it came from Xavier Young’s mouth. At this point, he could no longer heed Sixth Master’s order to keep Sienna Johnson in the dark, so he told her everything from beginning to end.

"...The Carpenter Family was originally in the drug business. Mr. Carpenter wanted to revive the old business, so he sought Sixth Master’s help..."

Sienna Johnson gritted her teeth and asked, "And Sixth Master agreed?"

"Yes," Walter Klein replied with difficulty.

"I remember Sixth Master saying he would never touch the drug business!"

"It was Mr. Carpenter who kept pressuring Sixth Master. Sixth Master had no choice, so he..." Walter Klein tried to explain on Sixth Master’s behalf, but his explanation sounded incredibly weak and unconvincing to Sienna Johnson.

"I never thought Sixth Master would one day become so easily swayed!" she remarked sarcastically.

"Actually, Sixth Master, he..."

Sienna Johnson didn’t want to hear any more and said with disappointment, "I understand what happened. I don’t want to hear the rest. Adrian is an adult; this was his choice. Although I don’t agree with it, I respect his decision."

Walter remained silent.

"You can leave now. I’m tired and want to rest for a while."

Sienna was deeply disappointed in Adrian. So very, very disappointed.

「The next day, in the hospital room,」

Brett Jacobs and Walter Klein blocked Sienna Johnson’s way, preventing her from leaving. If they let Sienna Johnson go, they wouldn’t know how to answer to Sixth Master when he woke up.

"Madam, please wait a little longer. Wait for Sixth Master to wake up before making a decision."

"He’s been in a coma for several days; who knows when he’ll wake up? It’s just a meeting, isn’t it? It’s not like I’ll lose a piece of flesh. Move aside. After I see Xavier Young, I have things to do back in Sileria City," Sienna Johnson said dismissively.

The two large men exchanged a look, thinking this woman was truly difficult to handle.

"Move aside! Don’t block my way!"

"Sixth Master wouldn’t agree."

Sienna Johnson looked at the two oversized human roadblocks before her and smiled. "Don’t worry, Sixth Master will agree. He was willing to risk his life for his uncle; what’s a mere woman in comparison? They say brothers are like limbs, and women are like clothes. With Sixth Master’s standing, what kind of clothes can’t he have? If this garment of mine is worn by someone else, gets dirty, or torn, he can just toss it and get a new one. But he only has one uncle."

They knew it wasn’t like that at all, but Sienna Johnson insisted on putting it that way.

Brett Jacobs persisted, "Madam, this matter must wait for Sixth Master to wake up and make the decision. You can’t decide on your own!"

"Move aside!" Sienna Johnson demanded loudly.

"Madam!"
