Chapter 223
Sienna knew Reno had rescued Vivian. She glanced at the two barely alive, tortured figures in front of her. She hadnโt even finished her cup of coffee. How boring, Sienna thought to herself.
โTake them to the police station,โ Sienna ordered.
โYes, Miss Sienna,โ someone nodded.
Meanwhile, Nathan and Vivian returned together, just in time to see Henry and Sheryl being taken away by the police.
Henry spotted his son and thought Nathan had come to save them. Just as Henry was about to call out for help, he saw Nathan stand behind Vivian.
In that instant, Henry realized what was going on. "So, Nathan betrayed me," he thought bitterly.
His face turned a deep shade of purple as Henry spat out curses, โNathan, youโll die a miserable death. I shouldโve strangled you the moment you were born, bastard. Youโre nothing but a disgrace to your blood.โ
Nathanโs expression didnโt change at all; he acted as if he hadnโt even heard Henryโs words.
Sheryl glared at Nathan with hatred and unwillingness in her eyes. She simply couldnโt accept this reality.
โWhy is it always Nathan, the one Iโve always looked down on, who ends up coming out on top?โ Sheryl thought bitterly. "Why him? Why?"
โI tried to reason with you before, but you wouldnโt listen. Now that youโve ended up like this, who else can you blame? You brought it all on yourselves,โ Nathan said with a sigh.
Nathan couldnโt understand what they were thinking. Wouldnโt it have been better to just live a peaceful life? Why did they have to keep scheming against each other? he wondered.
โWhatโs the point in all this cutthroat fighting? If you never know when to be content, this is how you end up,โ Nathan thought to himself.
Nathan let out a cold, silent laugh and wondered, โAs for family? It doesnโt matter at all. They never care about me. All I ever got was beatings and insults. Where was the so-called father-son bond? And Sheryl was always blinded by greed, always scheming to snatch things from me.โ
โSienna?โ Vivian called out as soon as she saw her long-missed sister, throwing herself straight into Siennaโs arms.
โIโve missed you so much, Sienna,โ Vivian said.
โIโve missed you, too,โ Sienna replied softly.
โSienna, let me introduce you. This is Nathan Winslow. He saved me,โ Vivian said, her voice trailing off.
Siennaโs cold, piercing gaze landed on Nathan, making him so nervous that he swallowed hard, feeling very uneasy.
Sienna spoke in a calm, detached voice, โHe wonโt be dragged into this. You can relax.โ
Nathan almost went weak at the knees. Her aura is seriously overwhelming, downright terrifying, he thought.
Sienna watched Nathanโs back as he left. Sheโd already looked into him and knew Nathan was nothing like Henry.
Siennaโd never planned to pin the Winslow familyโs crimes on Nathan anyway. But actually, she had never thought heโd end up saving Vivian by chance.
โSienna, Iโve missed you so much,โ Zane came running over, tears welling up in his eyes as he tried to throw himself at Sienna and Vivian.
Sienna held up a hand to stop him, her expression as calm as ever. โYouโre here?โ
โSienna, you have no idea how tough it was for me to get here," Zane chattered nonstop, carefully pounding her shoulders with his fists in a mock massage.
โGot it. Thanks,โ Sienna replied.
โSienna, when are we doing the surgery?โ Zane asked, his voice full of anticipation. Getting to be Siennaโs assistant was the best thing that could happen to Zane, not to mention, it gave him the perfect chance to pick up a few tricks on the side.
Sienna replied, โIn ten days.โ
Sienna planned to wait until after Winifredโs competition to explain everything and get the surgery done as soon as possible. But before that, Sienna still had to settle things with the Bayer family.
โThereโs also a minor surgery I need you to handle. Take a few days to get ready. Iโll have Reno send you the details,โ Sienna added.
โSienna, where are you going?โ Vivian asked, noticing Sienna was about to head out and quickly getting up to follow her.
โIโm going to the Bayer family,โ Sienna replied.
Vivian had a vague memory of the Bayer family. Ten years ago, after Siennaโs accident, the Bayer family had shown up wanting to take them away. But since theyโd never had any contact with them growing up, the Bayer family felt like complete strangers to them.
With Aidenโs constant brainwashing, making the Bayer family out to be utterly evil, theyโd wanted nothing to do with them.
