"Tomorrow, we’re going to the court..."
The topic changed too fast. Just a mont ago, they were talking about lanie Carpenter, and suddenly it shifted to going to court?
What are they going to the court for?
The only thing Sienna Johnson could think of was divorce.
Divorce requires going to court.
Could it be that Adrian Desmond was brainwashed by Elliot Carpenter overnight, and Elliot actually incited Adrian to divorce her?
Sienna’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt uneasy all over. She asked coldly,
"What are we going to the court for?"
If Adrian were to say what she just suspected, Sienna would imdiately turn around and leave, and even if he begged on his knees in the future, she wouldn’t look back.
What’s the point of being with a man who can’t see things clearly?
She had endured long enough for him. Sienna’s heart harbored a simring anger, just waiting for a spark to ignite.
"I won’t hide it from you; my illness seems to have worsened lately. Sotis my mind isn’t clear. Whenever I try hard to think, my head hurts terribly. ... I’m afraid I’ll die suddenly, so I’ve decided to give all my assets to you!
If I really die, my money will be enough for you and the child to squander for several lifetis."
"..."
"I’ve arranged for people to protect you and the child. You don’t have to stay in Abyanabad, if you want to return to Sileria City, go to Sileria City. If you want to go abroad, then go abroad."
Sienna’s tears suddenly flowed out, "If you’re gone, what do I need all that money for?"
This bastard. She knew he wouldn’t say anything good.
"How will you live without money!"
This man might as well have talked about divorcing her, "I don’t need you to care!"
"At a ti like this, don’t speak in anger!"
"..."
"I have quite a few businesses under my na. If I die, there are many businesses you won’t be able to handle; just shut them down."
Adrian glanced at Sienna, his frown so severe it could crush a fly, "A woman like you showing up everywhere, what does it look like? Just shut them down, turn them into money; that money is enough for you to squander."
"Adrian, how sick are you really, to say such things?" This was practically a last will.
"Nosebleeds, coughing up blood... that’s not even the worst of it. The worst is, I start... my mind isn’t clear. Whenever I think hard about sothing, I get a headache..."
"..."
"I suspect that dication might be affecting my brain..." Adrian couldn’t continue when he got to this point.
"..."
"But, you can’t remarry! Once the child grows up, you’ll co down to accompany !"
A mont of being moved turned into a fit of anger for Sienna; this man truly is a leopard that can’t change its spots.
So, he was treating her well just to expect her to die with him?
"You’re already dead, why should you care if I remarry or not!" she snapped in anger.
"I’ll have soone watch you! If you dare to cheat, I’ll kill those lovers!" Adrian glared at Sienna coldly, like the freezing moon of a wintry night.
"Stop talking about death and doom; hurry up and find out who’s poisoning you and with what poison."
Sienna set aside those negative emotions, thinking positively about solving the problem.
How could she let him die!
"It’s been so many days! Have you found out who’s poisoning you?"
Adrian pressed his lips together, saying nothing.
Sienna stared at Adrian’s face, his expression didn’t seem like he didn’t know; it seed more like he knew but couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Sienna, with her sharp insight, asked, "Could it be Elliot Carpenter?"
Adrian suddenly looked at Sienna, and this ti Sienna spoke with certainty, "It really is Elliot Carpenter!"
"..."
"Adrian, at this point, you still plan to hide it from !" Sienna was one hundred percent sure it was Elliot Carpenter; otherwise, why wouldn’t Adrian admit it?
Sienna turned her back, crying with grief, her shoulders shaking.
Adrian looked at her with heartache, "... Stop crying. I’ll tell, I’ll tell. Whenever you’re displeased now, you cry, and I’m really afraid of you."
In the past, Sienna rarely cried, and Adrian couldn’t understand why she cries so much now.
What Adrian didn’t understand is that a woman like Sienna, capable of showing her most vulnerable side, her truest emotions, is a form of love—a wholehearted trust.
Sienna, her eyes red, said, "Speak, tell now!"
