Chapter 872: Cherishing Life

The news spread quickly, causing a wave of shocked reactions.

Since Sienna didn't capture the content of the marriage certificate in the

photo, many thought it was fake, and some even joked that she was

celebrating April Fools’ Day early.

Camille was one of the first to see it and immediately messaged her, “Is

this real?"

Sienna played coy, "Guess."

Camille replied, "So it's real?"

"Come on, can't you at least make a guess? You're like a mind-reader

to me," Sienna sighed in frustration. It seemed that she had never

provided any challenge to Camille.

Sienna's response confirmed the authenticity of the news. She wasn't

particularly surprised and asked, "When are you coming back to

Hance? Treat me to a meal, or you'll be in trouble.”

"Just a meal, I promise. You can choose whatever you want. Rex will

pay for our dinner, so don't hesitate to have an expensive one," Sienna

replied.

Camille sent an OK emoji and then received another message from

Sienna, "What about you? How's it going with Mr. Simpson? Has he

won you over yet?"

Knowing their situation, Sienna felt anxious.

She hoped that Ayan would quickly win Camille back and remarry her

so she wouldn't have to worry about this situation all the time. She was

afraid she might slip up in conversations since Ayan had told her about

their fake divorce to protect her from Mario's threats. She couldn't

betray Ayan after all he'd done for her.

Of course, she was on Camille's side, and she didn't want to pry into

the reasons why Ayan and Camille decided to have a fake divorce. It

was their private matter. As Camille's best friend, as long as Ayan didn't

hurt Camille, she was willing to cooperate.

After Sienna's message, Camille took quite a while to respond.

After waiting for several minutes, Sienna sent her a voice message,

"Why aren't you saying anything? Did you remarry Mr. Simpson without

telling me?"

"I was busy just now, working. We haven't remarried,” Camille replied.

"2???" Sienna asked, "Then what's going on with you two?"

“Let's talk about it when you come back."

"Cami, are you feeling down?" Sienna asked, concerned.

“I'm fine, just a bit busy lately, feeling tired," Camille replied.

Sienna sent a hugging emoji and chatted with Camille for a while. Since

Camille was still working, she didn't want to disturb her too much.

After finishing the chat with Camille, Sienna sighed silently while

holding her phone. Camille didn't seem to be in a good mood, and that

worried her.

Rex noticed Sienna's actions and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sienna said, "Is there a problem between Camille and Mr. Simpson?"

"How could that be?" Rex denied it immediately, saying, "My mom just

told me this morning that the Simpson family is already preparing for

their wedding. They are crazily in love. Where would there be any

issues?"

The relationship between the Simpson family and the Ward family

started with their grandfathers and has spanned many years. Ayan and

Sienna grew up together as childhood friends, and Talia couldn't wait to

tell Rex's mother about their wedding plans on the night they got

engaged.

Their relationship was excellent, and both families were experiencing

this for the first time, so they were exchanging experiences frequently.

Madison, in particular, informed Rex immediately, hinting heavily about

Ayan, who was the same age as him, having a child already and now

preparing for a wedding.

But what about Rex?

Until now, there was still no good news from him, probably because

Rex was not the reliable type, which led to him not having a girlfriend.

Rex had withheld the news about his marriage before. Instead, he

playfully asked Sienna, "What gift will you give your future daughter-in-

law when I bring her back to meet you?"

"As long as you bring her back, I'll immediately give her a gift. I've

prepared it a long time ago. It's up to you if you can take it from me,"

Madison responded.

Rex just smiled and told Madison to prepare properly. He might bring

someone back anytime.

So when the topic of Ayan and Camille's wedding came up, he seized

the opportunity to ask Sienna, "After we return to Hance City, will you

come with me to meet my parents at the Ward family?"

Still immersed in Camille's wedding plans, Sienna absentmindedly

nodded, "Sure."

"Okay then," Rex replied.

Only later did Sienna snap out of it, looking at Rex with disbelief, "What

did you just say?"

Rex chuckled, "You already agreed, no backing out.”

Sienna hurriedly said, "I'm not prepared yet."

"You don't need to prepare anything. Just come with me, and trust me,

everyone in the Ward family will like you."

Rex and Sienna had been together for quite a while, and although their

relationship wasn't completely public, the Ward family had heard

rumors. However, they didn't meddle too much because of the previous

engagement, and they understood Rex's temperament.

Worried about Sienna'’s insecurities, Rex reiterated firmly, "Trust me,

okay?"

He would arrange everything, ensuring no one would dare to mistreat

her or give her any trouble.

His determination made Sienna refrain from refusing. After all, they

were already married, and she would have to face this sooner or later.

But she was starting to feel nervous and worried. Would Rex's parents

really like her?

She envied how Ayan's parents treated Camille. They had no typical

mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, which she believed was

the best example of such kind of a relationship. Maybe she could

achieve that too?

Mario soon received the news after Sienna's posts.

Yesterday morning, he had just been discharged from the hospital and

hadn't returned to the King family yet. Instead, he stayed at his villa.

He still hadn't contacted Sienna, not because he planned to continue

like this, but because he wanted to give her a chance to see the truth

for herself.

However, he got word of Sienna's post from his secretary. Though the

secretary's tone seemed dismissive, he treated it as a casual report.

His initial reaction was subdued, but his face soon turned ice-cold as he

repeatedly read the content. He picked up his phone and opened

Sienna's Facebook.

A photo of the marriage certificate and one word: "Married!"

His brow furrowed, and his expression turned extremely chilly. The

secretary, seeing Mario's demeanor, cautiously said, "Mr. King, maybe

Miss King is just playing a game with her friends, or it's some internet

slang?"

Mario remained silent, his face growing even colder.

"Do you think she'd do something so trivial?" he asked in a tone laced

with coldness.

The secretary felt a chill down his spine and dared not breathe heavily.

Mario's face slightly narrowed, his voice filled with coldness as he said,

“Investigate the true meaning behind her post.”

The secretary didn't dare to procrastinate and quickly conducted the

investigation.

However, the results he found were something he didn't dare to report

to Mario. He was too afraid of the consequences.

But dragging it out was also not feasible since they'd eventually have to

face it.

With great trepidation, the secretary informed Mario of the results.

Mario's first reaction was, "Are you sure you've investigated

thoroughly? It's not a fake message that Sienna deliberately spread?"

"Mr. King, I checked the surveillance footage from the Civil Affairs

Bureau. Miss King did indeed register her marriage with Rex," the

secretary said.

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent, and a chilling atmosphere filled

the air.

Time seemed to stand still, and the air was filled with tension. Mario's

face became veiled in frost, and his voice was laced with coldness,

"Sienna, do you think this kind of move can completely sever our ties?"

He picked up his phone and dialed Sienna's number.

But Sienna didn't answer; she hung up right after it got through.

Mario didn't redial; instead, he stared out the window, his face showing

no emotion. He then sent a message, and within a minute, Sienna

called him back.
