The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 280 - 281: Sixth Master Struggles with the Beauty Test

Sienna Johnson burst into laughter. "Adrian Desmond, did your parents often scold you when you were little? You seem to have a lot of experience with it!"

Adrian Desmond didn’t speak, just coldly stared at her with a sinister look, making Sienna Johnson admit defeat quickly.

"You’ve seen it; Madam Johnson doesn’t like you, so you’d better leave!"

"She doesn’t like me, so I will purposely parade in front of her to annoy her. After all, she’s the one getting angry, not me!" Adrian Desmond’s words fully exposed his malicious nature.

Sienna Johnson glanced at Adrian Desmond. She found that dealing with the Johnson Family required a man like Adrian Desmond, with his strong offensive power. Indeed, Adrian Desmond the barbarian was the most effective against civilized people.

"What’s your little head thinking about now?"

He pushed her down, his eyes as deep as the sea, a wicked smile playing on the corner of his mouth. "I’ll come find you tonight, and we’ll do what we didn’t finish earlier..."

"Adrian Desmond, no."

She held his large hand, trying her best to push it away, but it was too strong and lingered in her secret garden.

"Don’t worry, I won’t force you unless you’re willing."

If this isn’t forcing her, what is? She certainly wasn’t willing at all.

"Stop touching me right now!" she yelled, on the verge of going crazy.

"Alright, alright, I’ll let you go. Don’t be angry."

Sienna Johnson took her time to dress and groom herself carefully. She meticulously drew her eyebrows and defined her lips. Her brows, shaped like distant hills, were just like Pauline Briggs’s, and now she suddenly hated her own similar brows.

"Sienna..." The man who had been watching her apply her makeup suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

"Why do I feel like you’re getting more and more beautiful?" He turned and sat in the chair, resting his chin on the backrest, staring intently at Sienna Johnson’s face.

"I was already very..." Beautiful. Before Sienna Johnson could finish, she heard the man muse, "I get it now. This must be that saying, ’In a lover’s eyes, there’s eye-rheum’."

Sienna Johnson’s lip twitched. Eye-rheum? How did she, a genuine "Xi Shi" beauty, become "eye-rheum" in Adrian Desmond’s eyes?

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"It’s ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder’!"

"What’s a ’Xi Shi’?"

"’Xi Shi’ isn’t a thing; Xi Shi was one of the four great beauties of ancient Orienta..." Sienna Johnson proceeded to enlighten this "cultural illiterate" on basic general knowledge.

"Prettier than you?"

"Yes."

"I haven’t seen any woman more beautiful than you."

"That just means you haven’t seen much of the world!"

"I’ve been to more than fifteen countries; I’ve seen plenty of women!"

Sienna Johnson decided to shut up and focus on getting ready.

She wore a short, white Chloe blazer over a black lace slip dress. The irregular hem of the dress offered tantalizing glimpses of her long, straight legs beneath the black lace—the height of seduction.

Sienna Johnson applied a thick layer of foundation to cover her fatigue. She stood up, looked at herself in the mirror, and said to Adrian Desmond, "When is your family free? Since we’ve decided to get married, our families should sit down for a meal together."

Adrian Desmond’s eyes darkened. "My parents passed away long ago. I only have a younger sister. However, she isn’t someone who can casually leave the Imperial Palace."

"The Imperial Palace? Don’t tell me your sister is a Princess."

"My sister is a Princess Consort." This woman has really forgotten everything about him.

"..."

"My sister has been wanting to meet you and Curly. When will you have time for us to take a trip to Abyanabad?"

"I don’t have time right now."

"Are you alright?"

"What could be wrong with me?" she said, unconcerned.

"You look like you’re heading off to war."

"Yes, I’m going to see my grandmother later. I can ignore Madam Johnson’s opinion, but I have to listen to my grandmother. If Grandma objects to us..."

Adrian Desmond interrupted, "Sienna Johnson, you already agreed! If you dare go back on your word, I have the power to ensure you never marry in this lifetime!"

"You should go back first. My grandmother is old. I’ll talk to her about us first, give her some time to get mentally prepared before you meet her."

"What do you mean by that? Am I so unpresentable that I can’t be seen?"

Sienna Johnson walked over, pressed a soft kiss to the corner of his lips, and said, "Adrian Desmond, please try to understand my position and don’t make things difficult for me, alright?"

Instantly, Adrian Desmond’s anger vanished as if Sienna Johnson had cast a spell on him. He nodded.

"Now, go back the same way you came, alright?" Sienna Johnson kissed his lips again, and Adrian Desmond was completely disoriented. At this moment, if Sienna Johnson told him to stab himself, he probably wouldn’t hesitate.

"Alright!"

Sienna Johnson smiled and gave him a generous reward, pressing a kiss to his forehead that left a lipstick mark. "Thank you, Adrian Desmond!"

Even heroes have a weakness for a beautiful woman’s charms. Adrian Desmond had always thought he wasn’t that kind of spineless man, but now he was utterly bewitched by this woman’s smiles and kisses.

「 」

"Miss, the Old Madam would like you to come to the study."

As soon as Sienna Johnson stepped out, a servant stopped her.

"I know. I’ll be there right away." She hadn’t expected Pauline Briggs to take this matter all the way to the Old Madam.

However, she would have to discuss Adrian Desmond with the Old Madam sooner or later anyway.

Sienna Johnson went downstairs and suddenly ducked into a guest room. She took out her mobile phone and called Lucas Robertson.

"Lucas, it’s me. What about the matter I asked you to look into?"

"I found out. The Sixth Master orchestrated it."

Thinking back on yesterday’s events, Sienna Johnson felt it was all too coincidental. The timing had been impeccably controlled, as if someone had intentionally wanted to sabotage her engagement party with Kenneth Brown. That’s why Sienna Johnson had called Lucas to investigate.

She had suspected Adrian Desmond, and her guess had indeed been confirmed.

No wonder that man had remained so outwardly calm. She’d thought he had come to terms with the fact that they were impossible. It turned out he had been laying such a grand trap all along.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive! Those prostitutes were indeed hired by the Sixth Master."

"Is the child in that woman’s womb really Kenneth Brown’s?"

"Yes!"

Sienna Johnson no longer blamed Kenneth Brown. On the contrary, she sympathized with him. After such a massive scandal, he certainly wouldn’t be able to stay in Sileria City any longer.

"How is Kenneth Brown doing?"

"He’s been detained."

"Go tell the lawyer to withdraw the lawsuit. The Eastminster Group won’t press charges."

Lucas Robertson reminded her, "If the Eastminster Group withdraws the lawsuit, Sabrina Johnson will also be exempt from prosecution!"

The case of the leaked special medicine formula was a civil matter. Civil cases differ from criminal cases; in civil law, it’s ’no complaint, no trial.’ As long as they withdrew the complaint, the case would be dropped.
