Judging by Sienna Johnson’s tone, she was convinced their Sixth Master had cheated on her. If Walter Klein let her return to Sileria City consud by suspicion, Sixth Master would surely skin them alive.
Although this matter had nothing to do with him, and he was innocent, Sixth Master was never a reasonable person.
Walter Klein, a clever man, weighed the pros and cons and made the best choice for himself: he decided to confess everything.
"Madam, I’ll tell you everything. Just please don’t go back to Sileria City while you’re pregnant. If Sixth Master finds out, he’ll kill ."
Sienna Johnson demanded, "Walter Klein, I need to know what exactly happened!"
"...Madam, here’s what happened...
Today, soone went to the Psychiatric Hospital and took lanie Carpenter away.
The person in charge of the hospital claid her father took her. Since lanie Carpenter’s father has been dead for many years, Sixth Master suspected sothing was amiss and had investigate. It turned out that Sixth Master’s uncle is still alive..."
Sienna Johnson was too shocked to speak. How could soone co back to life? She didn’t believe it.
"Is that man really Sixth Master’s uncle? Could it be fake? How can soone co back to life?" Sienna Johnson was skeptical.
"I’m not sure about the details." Walter Klein was also puzzled.
He had received the news this morning and had gone to investigate, never expecting this outco. He himself could not accept it.
The car drove smoothly. Adrian Desmond was taking good care of her; knowing she was pregnant, he had arranged for a steady driver. She could hardly feel any bumps as the car moved.
"How’s Adrian Desmond doing?"
With the apparent return of his uncle from the dead, and lanie Carpenter being taken from the Psychiatric Hospital, Sienna Johnson was even more worried about Adrian Desmond at this mont.
She knew that Adrian Desmond’s uncle had entrusted his daughter to him, and that Adrian Desmond had promised to marry lanie Carpenter. Now, he had married her, Sienna Johnson, instead, and lanie Carpenter had been sent to a psychiatric hospital. Sienna Johnson could imagine the man’s rage.
"Mr. Carpenter beat Sixth Master."
Sienna Johnson sat up straight, anxiously asking, "Was it severe?"
Walter Klein wanted to say it wasn’t serious but realized that the truth would eventually co out. Even if he lied to Sienna Johnson now, she would still find out how badly Adrian Desmond was hurt when she saw him. It would only make Walter Klein look bad from both sides.
So Walter Klein told the truth. "Sixth Master’s head was broken open, and it’s still bleeding..."
Sienna Johnson felt a pang in her heart. After a mont, she asked, "Where’s Adrian Desmond now?"
"At Mr. Carpenter’s house."
"The location of Mr. Carpenter’s house?"
Walter Klein asked, puzzled, "Madam, what are you planning to do? You’re not going to Mr. Carpenter’s house, are you?"
"Yes!"
Walter Klein tried to stop her. "Madam, Mr. Carpenter is furious right now, so it’s not safe for you, especially since you are pregnant. You don’t know how violent he can be! I promise you, as long as I’m here, Sixth Master will be fine. Please return to the island first, and I’ll bring Sixth Master back as soon as possible!"
"The location!" Sienna Johnson’s tone was just as commanding as Adrian Desmond’s. Walter Klein blurted out, "Sea View Residence, Villa No. 6."
As soon as he said it, he regretted it. He was beginning to fear Sienna Johnson just as much as he feared Sixth Master. He began, "Madam, you..."
The phone call cut off. Sienna Johnson asked the n in the car, "Do any of you know where Sea View Residence is?"
Brett Jacobs asked, "We know. Madam, what do you intend to do there?"
"Your Sixth Master is there!"
"Did Sixth Master ask us to et him there?" Tatu asked.
"No!"
"Madam, if Sixth Master didn’t say so, we should go back to the dock and return to the island first. You’ll be safe on the island, and Sixth Master will return soon as well," Brett Jacobs tried to persuade her.
"I want to go to Sea View Residence! If you don’t take , I’ll get a taxi myself!" Sienna Johnson said stubbornly.
Sienna Johnson t Brett Jacobs’s eyes, her gaze compelling, firm, and unyielding, leaving no room for negotiation. Sighing, he told the driver, "Head to Sea View Residence!"
After treatnt, lanie Carpenter woke up. She was in her old room, feeling disoriented and unsure of what year it was.
An image flashed in her mind: Adrian Desmond being beaten by her father, bleeding.
"Sixth Brother..." She sat up abruptly, feeling dizzy and nearly fainting again.
Adrian Desmond stood there, blood still streaming from his head, his shirt stained with his blood.
She shouted, "What are you doing? Can’t you see Sixth Brother is injured? Why aren’t you bandaging him?"
Without Elliot Carpenter’s permission, the doctor naturally dared not bandage Adrian Desmond. Everyone in the room remained silent, except for lanie Carpenter.
"Dad, what’s gotten into you? That’s Sixth Brother, the one you’ve loved like a son since he was young!"
"I was blind to treat him like a son!"
Elliot Carpenter was still furious, glaring at Adrian Desmond, who stood there expressionlessly, as if he were an enemy.
"Dad, if anything happens to Sixth Brother, I don’t want to live either."
Seeing his daughter’s frail form, Elliot Carpenter said, his heart aching, "You are my daughter, and as long as I’m alive, I won’t let anyone bully you again! Stay away from this man in the future! We’ll pretend we never knew this ungrateful wretch."
"Sixth Brother, please apologize to Dad. If you apologize, I’m sure he’ll forgive you."
Adrian Desmond remained motionless, like a statue.
"Sixth Brother... BOO HOO..."
"Sir, there’s a woman outside claiming to be Adrian Desmond’s wife, asking to see her husband," a servant entered and reported.
Adrian Desmond’s expression cracked, and his eyes flashed with panic and concern. It broke lanie Carpenter’s heart to see it.
In Adrian Desmond’s eyes, Mai was the only one capable of stirring his emotions!
"Good, I’ve been wanting to et her!"
Elliot Carpenter hadn’t expected Sienna Johnson to have the courage to see him, but since she had co of her own accord, he was curious to et her.
"Let her in!"
"Yes!" The servant went to escort her in.
"Uncle, this has nothing to do with her. Please don’t hurt her!" Adrian Desmond pleaded anxiously.
"Look at how worried you are. I’m curious to see what kind of woman has bewitched you so thoroughly!"
"Dad, it has nothing to do with Sixth Brother; it’s all that woman’s fault. If it weren’t for her, Sixth Master wouldn’t have beco like this."
lanie Carpenter still blad Sienna Johnson for everything. If Sienna Johnson hadn’t intruded into her and Adrian Desmond’s lives, she believed they would be very happy together now.
Accompanied by Brett Jacobs and Tatu, Sienna Johnson walked in gracefully under everyone’s watchful gaze, her eyes resolute and decisive.
