Just as the conversation between the two reached a deadlock, Adrian Desmond spoke up, "Actually, I can agree to help you."
"Alright then, help bring ruin to Sabrina Johnson and Frederick Stewart’s families!" Sienna Johnson, consud by rage, exclaid.
The news of the death of her respected father had caused Sienna to lose her sanity. She wanted nothing more than to ensure that the despicable couple paid in blood. Yet, with her current abilities, she had no way of seeking revenge.
Although the Stewart Family’s business wasn’t as large as the Johnson Family’s, they had connections in the governnt. Frederick Stewart’s grandfather was a retired senior official in the Capital. Even if Sienna killed Frederick, she would have no way of shaking the Stewart Family’s foundations. In fact, she might even bring down the entire Johnson Family with her actions.
"You’re that confident in my abilities?" Adrian chuckled.
"Kiki told you had a lot of power in Southeast Agaia." Sienna wasn’t usually one to trust others easily, but now, with no one else to turn to, she had no choice but to believe Adrian.
At this mont, Sienna was simply taking a desperate gamble, like trying to revive a dead horse.
"Actually, you don’t have to rely on what others say about . If you want to know anything about , I’ll gladly tell you everything, even the size of my dick..." As he spoke, the man’s vulgar streak reappeared.
"Adrian!" Sienna’s emotions turned from sadness to anger. "Disgusting!"
"Hey, don’t hang up! I really am willing to help you. It’s just that I’m in jail right now and can’t get out."
"..."
"President Johnson, when you’re no longer angry, you can get out of here." Adrian, noticing that Sienna’s voice was no longer filled with sadness, started to discuss the matter at hand.
"You’re in jail?" Sienna asked in surprise.
"Yes, I’m in jail. Surely President Johnson isn’t so forgetful that she’s forgotten she’s the one who put here."
Adrian didn’t hold Sienna’s actions against her. Instead, he saw this as a small interaction between lovers. When his woman was in a bad mood and used a few tricks, he didn’t mind.
That she was willing to expend effort on him, even in this way, was better than her being completely indifferent.
"I didn’t lock you up in jail!"
Sienna had only asked the police to arrest Adrian to intimidate him and make him back off and leave Sileria City. She never expected him to be so persistent.
"Are you sure?" Upon hearing that Sienna wasn’t behind it, Adrian imdiately realized the situation had beco more serious.
Who on earth in Sileria City, a place where he was a stranger, would want to cross him?
"What’s there to be unsure about? I don’t have dentia. Wouldn’t I know if I did sothing or not? Besides, if I really did it, would I be afraid of you finding out?" Sienna explained.
"So, who put in jail?"
"You need to ask yourself who you’ve offended."
"In Sileria City, apart from offending you, I haven’t wronged anyone else." Adrian had no clue whatsoever. He had always thought that it was Sienna who, in a fit of anger, had sent him to prison.
"With your personality, it would be strange if you didn’t offend soone."
"What’s wrong with my personality?"
"You know yourself."
"I don’t know!"
"..."
"Sienna Johnson, tell clearly!"
The two began arguing. Sienna, who had a headache, was in no mood to argue with this man at all. She said, "I can use so of my connections to try and get you out of jail."
"Heh. Are you going to tell to get out of Sileria City again?"
"That’s what I’m planning."
"Then, I guess I’ll just stay in jail!" As long as she and her daughter didn’t leave, he wouldn’t dream of leaving Sileria City.
"Which prison are you in?"
"Tiger said it’s Sileria City’s First Prison."
"I understand."
"Hey, are you going to get out?"
"If I don’t get you out, do you have the ability to do it yourself?"
Adrian had thought that Sienna was the one who put him in prison, so he wasn’t in a hurry to get out. But now that he knew she hadn’t, he naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible for his own safety. Although Adrian could find a way out himself, it would be even better if Sienna could help him.
"Of course, I don’t have the ability. Sienna, I can only rely on you now. You won’t leave hanging, right..." Adrian’s tone was sickening to Sienna.
"I’ll have soone work on it, but I can’t guarantee whether it will be successful or not. As you know, I’m just an ordinary businesswoman."
"As long as you put your heart into it, I don’t mind whether it’s successful or not."
Sienna couldn’t fathom it. He was in jail, so what was there to be so pleased about?
"Got it," she said.
"Hey..."
"What else do you want?"
"It wasn’t easy for to get a phone in here. You won’t add this number to your blacklist, right? Didn’t you want to help you deal with Sabrina Johnson and Frederick Stewart? I think it’s best for us to keep our phone lines open."
Sienna very much wanted to say "I will," but she hesitated. Ultimately, her compassion won out, and she said, "I won’t."
"That’s good. I’ll call you tomorrow morning to wake you up!"
"There’s no need!"
For once, Adrian hung up faster than she did. Sienna sat hugging her knees on her bed, thinking about the cruel truth she had learned. Her heart felt incredibly cold.
Sabrina Johnson reminded her of the fable "The Farr and the Snake." Sabrina was the snake, and the Johnson Family, the farr.
「...」
Last night, Sienna had trouble sleeping due to matters weighing on her mind and only fell asleep late. She was awakened in the morning by the sound of her phone ringing. Groggily, she answered the call and heard a slightly husky male voice.
"Wake up, little lazy pig..."
No one in this world would dare to call her a little lazy pig.
"Adrian?" He’d really called to wake her up.
"Good morning."
"What ti is it now?"
"Eight o’clock."
"I slept for so long?" Sienna’s biological clock was usually set for seven o’clock, and she always woke up on ti. Today, she’d overslept.
"If you’re not feeling well, you can rest," Adrian said, his voice filled with concern.
He couldn’t stand seeing won fight like n. In his view, this world belonged to n; won should be sheltered behind them, protected. Unfortunately, the woman he’d set his sights on didn’t want such an easy life.
"I’m alright."
Sienna had once attended a tender eting with a 40°C fever. Such minor discomfort was nothing to her. She wasn’t that delicate.
"I thought about it last night. Since it wasn’t you who put in jail, you don’t need to get involved in this."
"You’re trying to draw the snake out of its hole?"
Adrian laughed. "As expected of my woman, your mind works fast."
"Who said I was your woman?!"
Adrian didn’t argue with Sienna this ti. "Actually," he said, "I’m also worried about your safety. My enemies are the type to use knives and guns, and I’m afraid they’ll hurt you. Don’t get involved; I can handle it myself."
"Who exactly are you?"
"A poor man who deeply loves you!"
