The stranger’s words were short, but they felt like a breeze blowing over her cheeks, providing her with
comfort.
Even someone who had no connection to Sienna was concerned about her, while the person she loved
the most had hurt her
the most.
Sienna wryly smiled, took the tissue from the man, and wiped away her tears.
“I feel that you’ll need me someday,” said the man, taking out a business card from his suit jacket and
handing it to Sienna. “I hope you’ll contact me then.”
Donald Read…
Sienna lowered her head and looked at the business card, which revealed that the man was a lawyer.
Adrian had witnessed Sienna’s conversation with Donald.
An inexplicable anger surged through Adrian, and he didn’t even notice the other mourners as he
walked directly to Sienna and snat ched the delicate business card away.
Adrian scowled and crumpled the card and then turned to face Donald, who was standing next to
Sienna. “She doesn’t need anything from you. Just stay away from her.”
Donald arched his eyebrows and looked at Adrian, whose imposing presence was about to burst. “I’m
talking to this young lady. I don’t think it concerns you.”
“Doesn’t concern me?”
Adrian sneered, grabbing Sienna’s wrist with his right hand and holding her tightly beside him. “She’s
my wife. Do you think I don’t have the right to question you?”
Yes, Sienna was once the famous McKinney family’s young lady and the Olson family’s daughter-in-
law.
Back then, Sienna had been so eager to marry Adrian, fantasizing about spending nights chatting with
him and using her every
move to melt his heart.
But now, this status had become the heaviest shackles, imprisoning her future and extinguishing her
hope of living.
After Adrian spoke, he pulled Sienna and left.
Adrian couldn’t tolerate Sienna’s continued presence or her interactions with other men.
The rest of her life could only be used for atonement and apologizing for her mistakes. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Sienna was pulled forward, stumbling like a puppet.
She didn’t see that Donald’s gaze was closely following her, as if containing a special emotion that he
was reluctant to take his eyes off.
Sienna now truly understood the meaning of “worse than death.”
If it weren’t for her father, she wouldn’t have endured this long, feeling as if her soul had been thrown to
the ground and tram pled mercilessly.
The pain Adrian and Janice caused her was indescribable. Sienna gritted her teeth in hatred, her heart
carved with bitterness,
yet she couldn’t fight back.
Everyone had their own difficulties and necessities, and Sienna had to consider her ailing father.
Her once elegant and gracious mother was now cr*ppled, and Lara’s face was pale. One could only
imagine her father’s state in prison.
Sienna couldn’t be heartless and abandon her loving father, so she did her best to compromise, hoping
Adrian would change
his mind.
But Sienna knew these were just her wishful thoughts..
Adrian’s actions grew more ruthless with each passing day. It seemed he wanted to tear Sienna apart.
Even those closest to her couldn’t escape his wrath, so how could he possibly repent and let her and
her father go?
There was truth in the saying, “Nothing is sadder than a broken heart.”
Sienna lay on the bed with a bitter smile, and her body was drained of energy. Her feverish, bruised
body still ached.
She didn’t know how much longer she could hold on or when she might die at Adrian’s hands.
Her future had lost its brightness, and all her emotions had been strangled by Adrian.
Sienna’s situation grew worse, making Janice more anxious.
Sienna insisted on using her marriage as leverage to save her father, but Adrian never agreed.
If Adrian wouldn’t divorce her, Sienna would remain Mrs. Olson.
Even when Sienna was humiliated and her face was pale, she had the right to stand by Adrian’s side at
social events.
This drove Janice to the point of jealousy. She had coveted that position for years, but Sienna’s
presence felt like a wall, blocking her from her goal.
If Sienna didn’t disappear, Janice couldn’t become the daughter-in-law of the Olson family. Adrian’s
attitude only deepened Janice’s unease.
Janice couldn’t understand why Adrian kept a woman he hated by his side.
Since Adrian wouldn’t act, Janice decided to strike first.
Janice couldn’t wait for Sienna to gain the power to fight back. Then, it would be difficult to deal with
her.
Janice called her assistant and handed him a business card. “Sienna’s father is still in prison, and I’m
sure his days are hard. Send him a ‘gift’ for me.”
“Remember, do it nicely and don’t let anyone find out. Sienna only needs to know this is Adrian’s
doing.”
