The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress Chapter 22: Praising Him for His Good Looks

Adrian Desmond stared at Sienna Johnson’s graceful figure and laughed. "How dare you tease ! Just wait till I get my hands on you!"

Adrian inherited his mother’s good looks and knew he was attractive from an early age. Won and n alike were drawn to him because of his appearance. If it hadn’t been for his strong fists and ruthless heart, he might have long ago beco soone’s pampered favorite. Consequently, Adrian had always detested his own features. However, today, when Sienna praised his looks, Adrian felt a flicker of happiness.

Won like handso n, and she might not be an exception, right?

For the first ti, Adrian felt that being good-looking wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

"...Don’t be afraid; they’re not bad people. Give them your addresses later, and they’ll take you ho," Sienna reassured the frightened won.

The won stared at Sienna in shock, unable to process her words for a long mont. Were we actually saved?

"Really?" one of the bolder won asked.

"Yes, it’s true," Sienna smiled, comforting them.

The won knew Sienna was also one of those who had been abducted. They figured the people Sienna brought were there to rescue her, and their own rescue was rely a fortunate consequence. No longer doubting, the won wept with joy, their initial silent tears escalating into loud sobs.

Sienna didn’t stop them, letting them cry their hearts out, just as she had when Adrian rescued her.

Xavier Young stood behind Adrian, his ears ringing. He looked at the group of crying won. "Sixth Master, won are truly troubleso. Please don’t assign the task of escorting them ho. I absolutely detest it when won cry. I’m afraid I’d get so annoyed I might accidentally kill them on the way."

Adrian stated confidently, "You won’t."

"And who says I won’t?"

"Then go on, kill one. Show ."

Xavier was speechless. What he’d said was rely out of montary frustration. While they weren’t good people, they never killed indiscriminately. The individuals they did kill were either notorious villains or, at the very least, far from innocent.

"Mai, we should get going," Adrian urged.

"Alright."

Adrian arranged for another boat and a different group of n to escort those won ho, while he departed with Sienna.

One of the won chased after Sienna. When she caught up, Sienna stopped and said, "I have to go back now. You should head ho soon too. Your parents must be missing you terribly."

The woman before her had delicate features; even in such a disheveled state, her beauty was hard to conceal. Among these won, if any had been unattractive, they might have avoided this fate. Beauty truly can be a curse, as the old saying goes.

Wringing her hands nervously, the woman stamred, "I... I don’t have a family..."

"What?" The woman’s voice was so faint that Sienna had to strain her ears to hear.

"I’m an orphan." Her voice grew a little louder. She looked up at Sienna and, mustering her courage, said, "You saved . C-can I follow you? I can cook, do laundry, and manage housework... And anything else, if you teach , I can learn it..."

Adrian understood her intent; she was trying to latch onto them. "Technically, I was the one who saved you. If you want to repay soone, it should be . I don’t need anyone for cooking or laundry, but I could use a woman to warm my bed. Are you still willing to follow then?" Adrian was testing her. If she dared to show any such inclination, he would not tolerate it.

The woman glared at Adrian, seeing him as no different from the human traffickers. "You never intended to save us! If it weren’t for..." She glanced at Sienna, whom she had heard soone call Mai, and continued, "If it weren’t for Mai’s plea, you would have abandoned us here to fend for ourselves! If I’m to repay kindness, it will be to Mai. What has it got to do with you?"

Adrian retorted angrily, "Do you believe I won’t throw you into the jungle to feed the wolves?"

"I believe you!" the woman looked at Adrian and said sarcastically. "People like you are capable of anything." She was clearly equating Adrian with Charlie Parker.

Adrian turned to Sienna. "I can help the other won, but not this one! Since she’s so tough, let her stay here and fend for herself!"

Sienna ignored Adrian, took the woman’s hand, and asked, "What’s your na?"

"My na is Selena Robertson."

Sienna was overjoyed because their nas, Sienna and Selena, sounded so alike. "It seems we’re fated to et!"

Selena nodded. "Thank you for saving . Without you, I don’t know where they would have sold ." She wasn’t foolish; she understood what those people intended to do with so many beautiful won they had gathered.

Sienna didn’t agree imdiately. Instead, she turned to Adrian, her voice gentle. "Adrian, can I take Selena back with us?"

Adrian was about to refuse, but before he could utter a word, Sienna, pushing her advantage, continued, "If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your consent. Selena, let’s go."

Adrian: ...

Xavier watched the exchange with amusent, giggling. Adrian glared at him, his expression displeased. Oblivious to the danger, Xavier said, "Sixth Master, don’t forget, that woman escaped from the island. You have to teach her a proper lesson when you get back. If you let her off so easily, she’ll only beco more daring. Who knows what kind of trouble she’ll stir up next... Look, just now, she even dared to make decisions for you!"

Adrian sneered. "You’re getting bolder too, are you? Making decisions for ! She’s my woman, and how I deal with her is none of your business to lecture about."

"..."

"Xavier, you seem rather idle lately. Why don’t you escort these won back?" Adrian ordered.

"Huh?"

Tatu walked over, patted Xavier on the shoulder, and said, "Watch your mouth! If you can’t control that tongue of yours, be careful, or you’ll answer for it with your own hide."

"Good advice is often hard to hear, but it’s for his own good! I’m only trying to help Sixth Master." Xavier looked at the other n, who remained silent, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "...Why are you all so quiet? Seriously, I didn’t realize you could all be so servile. Sixth Master has always been fair with rewards and punishnts. For him to break the rules for a woman... shouldn’t I remind him?"

The others were quite tolerant regarding this matter. In their eyes, won were the weaker sex, like pets to be indulged.

"n and won are different!" Maxwell Young instructed his foolish younger brother. "Won are ant to be pampered."

Xavier felt indignant on behalf of n everywhere. "Why? Just because she’s beautiful? You shallow n!"

Walter Klein couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke a single sentence that made everyone fall silent. "Isn’t it a good thing that Sixth Master likes won? Would you rather he liked n? If Sixth Master preferred n, wouldn’t our situation beco rather... precarious?"
