Chapter 1124: Disruption

Chapter 1124: Disruption

Sienna lifted her gaze slightly to meet his eyes, saying, "If that's how

you feel, I can't help it. After all, whether I lost the King family or the

King family lost me, you already have a conclusion in your heart. Why

go through the trouble of asking me again? Don't you think it's tiring?"

Sienna stared at Mario expressionlessly. Without waiting for him to

speak, she continued, "If you're here to lecture me, is it finished now?

Can I goin?"

"Sienna!!!" Mario shouted in anger. The tone was naturally not light. If it

weren't for the good sound insulation of the house, I think people inside

would probably have come running out by now.

Sienna looked at Mario indifferently. She said, “I'm here. There's no

need to shout so loudly."

“Do you now feel invincible with the Ward family backing you up?"

"Probably!

Mario snorted, "Do you think the Ward family can protect you for how

long? Do you think the Ward family will stand by you all the time? If

your crisis threatens the Ward family's interests, will they still protect

you?"

Mario's words were full of threats. His face was cold, and he stared at

Sienna, his emotions showing calculation and menace.

Sienna stood still for a long time, her face remained cool.

The two of them silently faced each other, neither saying a word. After

some time, Sienna’s voice slowly sounded, "What do you want?"

"What I want, you don't know? My goal has always been one. If you

want everyone to be safe, come back with me to Flento City. Then

everyone will be fine." Mario said indifferently, his gaze always fixed on

her face without wavering.

Sienna didn't speak. Her face remained expressionless.

After a long time, Mario's voice slowly sounded, "I'll give you time to

think. Consider how you want to choose."

After speaking, Mario didn't linger any longer. He turned and walked

towards his car.

Watching his retreating figure, Sienna's expression finally softened a

bit. She bit her lip slightly and spoke slowly, "Mario, is it that you will

only give up your current decisions and actions if I disappear from this

world? Will everyone truly be okay then?"

Mario suddenly turned around, his face stiff, his eyes enveloped in

coldness. He furrowed his brows, staring at Sienna without saying a

word. He said, "You better not have any thoughts like that. Don't think

you can force me to compromise with such ideas, Sienna. You

understand my temper. For certain things that cross my bottom line, I

will not hesitate to destroy everything."

He said indifferently, his expression returning to coldness. Then he got

into the car.

The car didn't stop for long and soon started the engine, driving away

from the Ward's mansion. Sienna, however, stood there without moving

until Rex walked out from inside the house.

Rex gently reached out to stop her shoulder, and she didn't bother to

meet his gaze, simply leaning into his embrace.

Neither of them spoke, just quietly holding each other, lingering in that

moment until Rex softly spoke, “Let's go home!"

Hearing his voice, tears welled up in Sienna's eyes. She nodded

slightly, "Okay."

He held Sienna’s hand as they got into the car together. It was only

after leaving the Ward's mansion that Sienna, belatedly, remembered.

She looked at Rex and asked, "We didn't even say anything to Mom

and Dad. Will they think I'm rude?"

Rex smirked, teasing her, "Should we go back and tell them now?"

Sienna sighed, "It feels too late to go back now, right?"

"Then let's not say anything. They're easy-going; they won't mind. So,

don't stress about it, okay?"

Sienna nodded lightly, then slumped into the seat, utterly drained. She

sighed silently, her voice weak, "Mom and Dad must be really worried

tonight.”

"They won't be. Don't overthink it. No matter what happens, I'm here,

so don't worry about anything, okay?"

Sienna naturally understood this, so she nodded gently. Her face,

however, showed no reduction in emotion.

The two returned to Franklin Bay. Neither Sienna nor Rex brought up

what Mario had said earlier. They respected each other's personal

space, ensuring no added pressure.

While Rex was in the shower, Sienna couldn't resist calling Camille.

She told Camille about tonight's events. Camille seemed unsurprised,

saying, "He would've found the Ward family sooner or later. After all,

your relationship was spread throughout the business district last night,

wasn't it? If the Ward family pretends not to know, Mario will find

something to say. Now the Ward family has given you face and given

Mario face. What else can he say?"

"So, you're not surprised? Or did you know in advance? Did Rex tell

Ayan?"

“Yeah, about an hour ago. He even asked Ayan if he wanted to beat up

Mario. After all, it's a simple matter to beat someone up on your own

turf in Hance City."

Sienna couldn't help but laugh. She said, "He wants to use violence to

solve this?"

"Probably thinks that a bit of violence will drive Mario out of Hance City.

If that's what it takes, he might actually do it!" Camille responded

casually, actually finding the situation quite a headache. Mario was

undeniably troublesome. Now that he's in Hance City, it undoubtedly

brings a lot of pressure to both Sienna and Rex.

Although Sienna could assure herself that she wouldn't be swayed by

Mario, sometimes things were beyond her control. If she and Rex had

any conflicts or grievances, Mario would be the ultimate winner.

Camille sighed silently, lightly pursing her lips, and asked, "Sienna,

have you... thought about what to do?"

Sienna, subconsciously, was momentarily stunned. She quietly

repeated the words Camille had asked. What should she do?

Sienna said, "I don't know what to do. For now, I can only take it one

step at a time, right?"

Camille expressed her concern, "He's in Hance City now. I'm worried

that if you're not careful, he might easily manipulate you. If you get

pregnant at this time, will he give up?"

Camille could only think of this one solution because she believed that

if Sienna were pregnant with a child, Mario might not go too far in

pressuring her.

However, Sienna replied, "I've thought about it, but if I'm really

pregnant, and he still persists, I might not even be able to protect the

child.”

Sienna continued, "I've made up my mind. I plan to contact the King

family and hope they can call her back!"

"Now it seems that's the only option. But you can't solely rely on the

King family because Mario is in charge there. If the King family can

really have someone restraining him, he wouldn't have come to Hance

City today,” Camille whispered, hoping Sienna would be more cautious.

This way, there would be a plan in case of any unexpected situation.

The two discussed this topic for a long time, but neither had many

solutions. Sienna even asked Camille, "Can you ask Mr. Simpson for

help, think of a way for me? Guess what Mario will do next?"

“Yeah, I'll ask, but don't expect too much. Mario hasn't had much

contact with him, so he doesn't know enough. Actually, you know him

the best. You have a better chance of dealing with him." Camille calmly

reassured Sienna not to think too much for now. Even if there's no

solution, it doesn't mean he'll resort to kidnapping, right?

Sienna smiled awkwardly, saying, "He has done things like this before.

Only when he finds a weakness, he has a way to force me to comply.

Unless I can find his weakness first, I don't know how much chance I

have to win."
