The next evening, word ca from the people Simon Forrester had sent to Wrayhaven County.
After the New Year, Felix Raines t a woman from out of town at a card room. Seeing him with a house in the county, wearing a Cartier watch worth over twenty thousand, and smoking top-quality cigarettes, she thought he was a wealthy guy. After getting involved with him, she started urging him to get a divorce.
Felix Raines is a man who cares about appearances. Even when he was dirt-poor, he would put on a shabby suit to show off. Now with so actual money in hand, he’s desperate to play the county’s richest man.
The woman’s flattery made him swell with pride, completely forgetting he’d be nowhere without linda Linton.
Sienna Thornton thought Felix Raines and that woman were a perfect match, like a turtle finding a green bean.
She looked at the photos sent by the investigator; the mature woman had so charm, with heavy makeup and alluring eyes. It was no surprise to see Felix Raines so entranced.
"What’s the woman’s story?" Sienna Thornton asked Simon Forrester while noting down key points on paper.
Simon Forrester looked at the computer screen, supporting his chin with one hand, with a pair of retro round blue-light blocking glasses resting on his prominent nose. His finger glided over the mouse, saying calmly: "She has two sons back ho, hasn’t divorced, has been hustling in Wrayhaven County for over ten years. A few years ago, she worked as a nanny and later switched to working in card rooms on ’those businesses’..."
Sienna Thornton asked while jotting down notes: "What kind?"
Simon Forrester fell silent and then got up: "I’ll go outside for a drink; you have a look for yourself."
"Oh."
Sienna Thornton imdiately ran over from the other end of the long table to check the computer. She scrolled down a few tis, and after quickly reading through, she glanced at the door where Simon Forrester left and chuckled to herself.
Noble Young Mr. Ford, he really can’t stand this kind of lowly stuff.
.
Sienna Thornton spent the whole night sorting out Felix Raines’ affairs and the next day, which happened to be Saturday, she took the docunts to visit linda Linton.
linda Linton was sunbathing on the balcony; Auntie King was out grocery shopping, and Jenna Raines was nowhere to be seen.
Sienna Thornton changed into slippers, entered the house, and brought out a small stool to sit next to linda Linton on the balcony. After a few pleasantries, she casually asked, "What’s Jared Raines’ situation now?"
"Jared has now contracted a courier point; his wife is pregnant with their second child, and their eldest is a year old. It’s all quite good," linda Linton replied with satisfaction.
Sienna Thornton nodded and then said, "Jenna has been learning in the hotel’s pastry departnt for over a year now. Opening a cake shop back in the ho county wouldn’t be a problem."
linda Linton smiled, "Jenna’s current hotel job is quite nice. It’s a big company with security. If her future partner is from back ho, opening a cake shop there would be a good choice."
"I used to ask you to co to the city to live with ; you were hesitant because of worry about them. Now both of them are doing well, living a thriving life. You shouldn’t be worried anymore, right?" Sienna Thornton observed linda Linton’s expression.
In the past two years living in Brimfield, linda Linton indeed worried about the ho county at first, contacting them daily. But as ti went on, seeing everything was fine back ho, she finally relaxed.
So when Sienna Thornton asked, she straightforwardly said that she was relieved now.
Seeing the right mont, Sienna Thornton tentatively asked, "Do you want to continue living with Felix Raines?"
linda Linton was stunned for a mont, her hand with the fan paused. After a while, she reluctantly replied, "I think things are good now, but if he gets sick and needs to care, I would still go back to take care of him..."
This ant she didn’t want to live with Felix Raines anymore unless forced to.
Sienna Thornton understood and directly said: "Felix Raines called Jenna, saying he wants a divorce. Do you agree? If you do, I’ll return to Wrayhaven this afternoon to discuss this matter with him."
"Ah?" linda Linton’s fan fell as she looked at her daughter in shock, "Why does Jenna’s dad want a divorce?"
Sienna Thornton took out a few photos of Felix Raines and the woman from the docunt bag and handed them to linda Linton: "He t a woman at a card room."
linda Linton looked at the photos, her hands trembling, shaking her head incredulously, "I don’t fear divorce, but Jenna isn’t married yet. If we divorce now, what about Jenna..."
Sienna Thornton got an idea and calmly asked: "So you don’t want a divorce, right? If that’s the case, I’ll negotiate with Felix Raines. Don’t worry."
.
After having lunch at linda Linton’s, Sienna Thornton and Simon Forrester departed for Wrayhaven at one o’clock, finally arriving at the Raines family’s county apartnt after six in the evening.
The two went upstairs, knocked on the door, and it was Felix Raines’ mistress who answered.
Seeing the woman welco herself into the house and live in the apartnt paid for with her own money, Sienna Thornton was indignant and impulsively wanted to argue with Felix Raines right then and there, but Simon Forrester held her back.
Simon Forrester routinely brought Felix Raines so discarded cigarettes and wine from Old Master Forrester. Felix Raines was all smiles like a sycophant, being extrely warm to Simon Forrester, introducing them to the mistress as his eldest daughter and son-in-law.
Previously he bragged to the mistress that his eldest daughter was a lawyer, his son-in-law ran a company, and had lots of money, without ntioning Sienna Thornton wasn’t his biological daughter.
Seeing Simon Forrester and Sienna Thornton dressed stylishly today and bringing many good items for Felix Raines, the mistress was even more determined to push Felix Raines to divorce quickly.
Sienna Thornton took Simon Forrester into the room to negotiate with Felix Raines.
Felix Raines was all about the mistress now, eager to kick linda Linton out. Upon hearing that linda Linton was unwilling to divorce because Jenna hadn’t married yet and it might affect her future, he decided to swiftly find a match for Jenna, get her married off as soon as possible!
This was exactly the outco Sienna Thornton wanted, and she gleefully exited the room.
The mistress was in the living room munching sunflower seeds, seeing them about to leave, she eagerly followed them out, enthusiastically offering to see them out.
Sienna Thornton didn’t stop her and let the mistress follow, only to let her see her and Simon Forrester getting into the high-end sports car with a Beijing plate, looming large with its striking license plate number.
Now, the mistress is set on sticking to Felix Raines. In order to fly away with the mistress, Felix Raines will surely marry Jenna off at the fastest pace possible! Then, the ti for linda Linton’s divorce will co quickly!
On the way to the hotel, Sienna Thornton was happy but couldn’t help lanting: "The power of love is really fucking scary! To fool around with a mistress, he could even casually marry off his own daughter."
Simon Forrester kept silent, focused on driving, and after a while, he chuckled, "It’s the first ti I’ve heard you curse."
Sienna Thornton, unaware, said: "Did I curse?" Then she laughed at herself: "But I’m too happy, lost my cool, lost my cool."
"No problem, it’s nice, quite different from your usual self."
Seeing his sincerity, Sienna Thornton giggled, her small hand playfully brushing his forearm exposed by his rolled-up shirt sleeve: "In so specific situations, swearing is indeed a bit more exciting and thrilling..."
Understanding her tone, Simon Forrester pressed down on the accelerator, speeding towards the hotel straight away.
