It’s been an hour. lanie Carpenter is still floundering in the water, but she no longer has the strength to curse at Sienna Johnson.
Adolph Desmond rushed over upon hearing the news and was nearly scared into a heart attack by what he saw.
Sienna Johnson really dares to do anything!
Adolph Desmond braced himself and said, "Madam, Miss Carpenter can’t hold on much longer. It’s better to save her quickly; it would be bad if soone dies."
Sienna Johnson was eating her nutritious breakfast.
She had severe morning sickness recently and could hardly eat anything. But this morning, watching the half-dead lanie Carpenter, she actually had an appetite.
The morning weather wasn’t very warm yet, and the breeze from Mirror Lake carried the refreshing scent of lotus flowers, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Sienna Johnson took a sip of milk and, while admiring the woman struggling desperately in the lake, said coldly,
"Uncle Desmond, you’re late and seem to not understand the situation. It’s not that I don’t want to save her; she doesn’t want to co out."
"..."
"lly, tell Uncle Desmond the whole story."
"Yes."
lly narrated the whole incident involving lanie Carpenter and then suggested, "Miss Carpenter insists on the Sixth Master rescuing her personally before she’d co out of the river.
Madam has no way out either.
Uncle Desmond, the phone to the Sixth Master is unreachable. Madam has already sent several groups to find the Sixth Master.
If Uncle Desmond knows the whereabouts of the Sixth Master, it would be better to quickly get him back."
On one side was a woman in the lake, without even the strength to call for help, on the other was a woman leisurely eating breakfast. Everyone was genuinely afraid of this woman, Sienna Johnson.
"Madam, please save her first. If sothing truly tragic happens, it won’t be easy to explain to the Sixth Master."
Sienna Johnson glanced at Adolph Desmond. Adolph was Adrian Desmond’s man and usually prioritized Adrian’s interests in his actions.
In Adolph’s eyes, the grudge between lanie Carpenter and her wasn’t important. What mattered was that lanie Carpenter was a guest invited by Adrian, and as the head butler, he had to ensure the safety of Adrian’s guests.
"Madam..." Sally returned.
Sienna Johnson saw Sally return and, having eaten her fill, decided to stop playing with lanie Carpenter and granted a favor to Adolph Desmond,
"Uncle Desmond, it’s not that I won’t save her, but she insists on waiting for the Sixth Master’s return; I have no choice. Since you, Uncle Desmond, are confident you can get lanie Carpenter onto the shore, go ahead and give it a try."
Adolph Desmond started to sweat on his forehead, not daring to lift his head, "Yes, Madam."
"Uncle Desmond, hurry, I think Miss Carpenter is about to give out." Sienna Johnson mocked.
Adolph imdiately called for people to help, but the servants all looked to Sienna Johnson and didn’t move.
"What are you just standing there for? Are you not listening to anymore?"
Still, the servants looked at Sienna Johnson. Although Adolph Desmond was the Desmond family’s butler, Sienna Johnson was the favored mistress. They realized that no matter how much this woman caused a scene, her status never wavered.
Clinging to Sienna Johnson was the way forward.
Sienna Johnson had no intention of causing a death. If lanie Carpenter indeed died in her Mirror Lake, she would only disdain the contamination of her lake water, so she told the servants,
"Get lanie Carpenter out for !"
"Yes, Madam!"
Several male servants good at swimming jumped into the lake and dragged the nearly breathless lanie Carpenter onto the shore.
This ti, lanie Carpenter neither resisted nor insisted that Adrian Desmond must rescue her; she lay on the lawn, her belly bulging like she was four or five months pregnant.
Sienna Johnson stood in front of her, looking down and said, "... Didn’t you insist on having the Sixth Master save you? So, why can’t you hold on any longer?"
"..."
"If you have the guts, you should wait until the Sixth Master returns to rescue you."
lanie Carpenter, with a weak breath, glared fiercely at Sienna Johnson, but she no longer had the strength to speak.
Adolph Desmond hurriedly called for a doctor to treat lanie Carpenter, and before Sienna Johnson left, she gave Adolph a glance that made him feel a chill down his spine.
He had offended Sienna Johnson.
...
Sienna Johnson returned from Mirror Lake, accompanied by Sally, back to her residence, and Sally shut the door.
Sally pulled out a glass bottle from her pocket. Inside was a white crystal that looked like salt. Of course, Sienna wouldn’t naively think lanie Carpenter disliked the Desmond Manor’s food being bland and carried her own salt.
"Madam, this was found in lanie Carpenter’s room."
"There was also a liquid, just a small amount. I couldn’t take it easily, so I dampened a handkerchief with so liquid and brought a bit back."
