Chapter 1441 - 1381: Do Your Best, Old Man

  • Next Chapter

Hearing Sienna Johnson’s words, Adrian Desmond lifted his shirt sleeve and sniffed it. He had a sharp sense of smell, but once a scent lingered on him for too long, he couldn’t detect it anymore.

After Adrian sniffed himself, Sienna’s face soured. "Did a woman really throw herself into your arms?"

Adrian: ...

Sienna suddenly flared up, "You men are all the same!"

"That woman accidentally bumped into me while I was talking to someone and wasn’t paying attention."

"When did Sixth Master become so oblivious? If it were an assassin, wouldn’t they have taken you out?"

"It’s precisely because she posed no threat that I let her bump into me. If she really wanted to kill me, I wouldn’t have let her near me that easily.

You don’t have to worry about me!"

Sienna wasn’t pleased, glaring at him with a stern face, making Adrian feel like he was taking the blame.

What exactly did this woman hear that made her take out her anger on him?

"Sienna, what’s wrong with you today?"

"You’ve been meeting all these people recently. Do you know someone called Leopard?" asked Sienna.

"Leopard? Bertie Harris?"

"You know him?"

"I just had dinner with him today. Why do you mention him? Do you know him?" Adrian asked numerous questions.

Sienna, being quite upright, had no connections with someone like Bertie Harris, so Adrian found it strange.

Moreover, it didn’t sit well with Adrian that his wife was asking him about another man.

"Birds of a feather flock together."

Adrian: ...

"Since you know him, it’s easier to talk. Just tell that Leopard not to bother my friends, aiding villains is a wicked act."

Adrian grew more confused and asked, "Mrs. Desmond, can you explain clearly? What exactly happened? Did Bertie Harris provoke you? Let me know, and I’ll stand up for you."

Sienna recounted the events between Brandon Harris and Sue White to Adrian, ending on an indignant note, "...In this world, good people never get good outcomes, while evildoers become increasingly rampant."

"..."

"Back then, Brandon took all the valuable items from home with his mistress and even sold the house. Saphire and Robin almost ended up on the streets. I thought people like him would get struck by lightning, but instead, he went abroad, made a fortune, and came back." Sienna’s tone was heavily sarcastic.

Adrian understood that he was being implicated because of Brandon.

"Such men are despicably shameless. How can such scum exist in this world? Such people shouldn’t even be alive; they disgrace all men.

Don’t worry, I’ll have him taken care of by tomorrow!"

Sienna: ...

"Mrs. Desmond, calm down. Otherwise, I’ll make him die a horrible death today."

With Adrian making it such a mess, Sienna forgot what she wanted to say, "Adrian, I told you, this isn’t Abyanabad, you can’t just kill people casually."

"Oh, then I won’t kill him."

Sienna coughed lightly and said, "That Leopard intends to trouble Saphire Carter. Since you know him, just tell him not to trouble my friend."

"A small matter."

Having resolved the issue concerning Saphire Carter, Sienna began to settle old scores with Adrian.

Sienna, with her excellent memory, recounted Adrian’s late return times one by one, "...Monday, back at 1 AM; Tuesday, 2 AM; Wednesday, midnight... Today you came back a bit earlier, at 11:45 PM. Sixth Master, you came back quite early."

Adrian reeked of alcohol and cigarette smoke, dared not come closer, "I’ve indeed been a bit busy lately."

"This morning, the medicine I asked you to take, you didn’t take it, did you?" Sienna continued to hold Adrian accountable.

"Sorry, I forgot."

Sienna stared at Adrian, her eyes fixated on him, making Adrian feel uncomfortable. Adrian repeatedly assured, "Tomorrow I will definitely come back earlier, I won’t return so late."

"Go take a shower and sleep."

"I’ll go shower right away." Adrian immediately went to the bathroom to shower, deciding that he must come home early tomorrow. He didn’t want to provoke Sienna.

...

Monday morning,

The court sent a summons to Elsa White, and Benjamin White brought the summons directly to the Johnson Family.

"Sienna Johnson, come out!"

Uncle Quinton saw the furious Benjamin and didn’t dare let him in, so Benjamin shouted at the door.

"Sienna Johnson, you vicious woman! You paralyzed my daughter and even sued her. I’ll sue you for murder!"

It was Monday, and Sienna was not home, but Adrian was.

Adrian walked out and saw Benjamin. Standing on the steps, he naturally loomed over, being tall to begin with.

"What’s with all the barking? Are you a dog?"

Being called a dog, Benjamin was furious, "You!"

Seeing Adrian, Benjamin’s eyes lit up with anger, "Adrian, you turned my daughter into that state, and I haven’t even sought you out for it. Now you’re suing her."

Elsa White had a serious car accident, and these days, Benjamin had been busy finding doctors to treat her, hoping she’d walk again.

He hadn’t had the chance to deal with Sienna Johnson yet, but now he received a summons from her. Benjamin was nearly furious enough to faint.

"Your daughter’s car accident was really not my doing," said Adrian.

"If not you, then who? It was you and Sienna Johnson!"

"..."

"I’ll fight you!"

Benjamin lunged forward, Adrian sidestepped, and Benjamin fell to the ground, hitting the steps, losing a tooth, and bleeding from the mouth.

"You lost a tooth," Adrian said.

Benjamin looked at the tooth wrapped in blood on the ground, seething with anger, and spat a mouthful of blood.

"Call the police and say this person tried to kill me," Adrian ordered.

Sabrina Conner, coming out to watch the show, was shocked to hear Adrian say that. Sixth Master never trusted the police, and he actually wanted to report the incident.

"Sixth Master, calling the police is hurtful to relationships, let’s settle it privately," Sabrina suggested.

Sabrina walked over, crouched in front of Benjamin, and said, "You’re both fat and old, you can’t beat Sixth Master. How about going home, losing some weight, practicing martial arts? Don’t you Orientans say that a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years?

Revenge isn’t urgent.

If in ten years, you still can’t take down Sixth Master, then wait twenty years, if you can live another twenty years.

"..."

Sabrina turned to Barnes Smythe, who was eating an apple, and asked, "Mila, do you think he can live another twenty years?"

"He can’t."

"Mila, we’re in Orienta now, we can’t speak too bluntly, be a bit more subtle." Sabrina looked at Benjamin and said, "Though he can’t live another twenty years, ten years should be doable..."

"..."

Sabrina patted Benjamin on the head and said, "Hang in there, old man!"
