The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 952 - 926: The Secret of the Couple’s Anklets (2)

The beauty making tea is a pleasure to watch.

No wonder that guy, Night Owl, always so frivolous, who treats women as playthings, is taken by this woman.

"Indeed. Tea brewing is also a cultural art. When feeling restless, brewing tea or writing calms the heart." Sienna Johnson, being a quiet person, finds tea brewing a pastime.

"Are you a doctor as well?"

"Strictly speaking, I’m not really a doctor. Although I graduated in medicine and have a medical license, I have never practiced as a doctor."

"What a pity..."

Sienna Johnson brewed a cup of tea for Adrian Desmond, placed it in front of him, and then leisurely said to Doctor X, "It’s not a pity, I’m glad to have taken over my father’s business and expanded it."

"..."

"Isn’t life all about making choices? Prioritize what you think is important, and when you must choose one of two, discard what you deem less important.

Some forsake kinship for love,

Some give up love for power and status,

While others abandon power and status for love.

Every choice is beyond right and wrong, as long as you don’t regret it in the future."

"Miss Johnson, have you ever regretted a choice you made?"

Miss Johnson?

Adrian Desmond didn’t like this title, "Old man, she’s no Miss, she’s my woman! You can call her Mrs. Desmond!"

"You can just call me Sienna," Sienna Johnson said.

"Sienna, such a nice name, just like the beautiful person it belongs to."

Adrian Desmond interrupted impatiently, "Old man, we’ve drunk the tea, you’ve rested enough, now get to work. Remove the thing from my woman’s foot."

"Bill, are you always in such a hurry?"

"I’ve recently learned a new idiom: ’night long, dreams many,’" Adrian squinted, staring at Doctor X, his eyes full of wariness.

"Hehe, now that I’m in your hands, with at least ten people watching me, do you think I can fly away?"

"I’m truly worried you might!"

Doctor X always had a smiling expression, making it impossible for anyone to imagine that this utterly ordinary old man was the notorious Doctor X of Death Island.

Indeed, people shouldn’t be judged by appearance.

"Do you need any tools?" Adrian asked.

"No need! I have them myself."

Doctor X took out a small box from his pocket, and Adrian immediately pulled out a gun, aiming at Doctor X’s temple.

"Bill, do you have paranoia?"

"Less nonsense! Get to work, and I’ll release you as soon as you’re done."

Sienna Johnson was anxious inside but appeared much calmer than Adrian, "Doctor, Shade Jervois said at the time that to unlock this, we need Night Owl’s fingerprint. Now that Night Owl is dead, can you really unlock it?"

"..."

Sienna Johnson touched her belly, "Back then, what Shade Jervois said was terrifying. I’m about to give birth soon, if you’re not confident, let’s wait until I’ve had the baby.

After all, I don’t want to be blown up into pieces."

"I created this thing, no one knows it better than I do." Doctor X appeared somewhat unhappy, seeing his abilities being questioned.

He stood up, went to Sienna Johnson, and crouched down.

Sienna lifted her long skirt, revealing two anklets on her foot.

"Who made the one on the side? It’s quite interesting."

Sienna didn’t answer, instead asked, "Are you sure you can unlock it? Is there a chance Night Owl set a password that no one can crack?

Now that Night Owl is dead, will I have to wear it forever?"

"There is a master password, but Night Owl didn’t set it. Tsk, it seems that guy was really smitten with you, knowing this thing is dangerous, he couldn’t bear for you to wear it forever."

"Doctor, you guessed wrong; that wasn’t what Night Owl said."

"What did he say?"

"He said, this is a token of our love, he also has one on his foot, and must wear it for life."

Suddenly, an image flashed through his mind, and Adrian suddenly thought of a similar anklet on Shade Jervois’s ankle, which he hadn’t paid attention to at the time.

Adrian immediately took out his phone and called Brandon Potter in Abyanabad.

"Sixth Master?" Brandon Potter was in the middle of a mud bath, with his face covered in a thick layer of red mud, making his speech a bit stiff.

"Go to the hospital now, check if Shade Jervois has an anklet identical to Madam’s, and if so..." Adrian’s eyes turned ice-cold,

"Kill him!"

Sienna Johnson was also startled, "What happened?"

"I suspect that the one who died might not be Night Owl, but Night Owl’s twin brother... Shade Jervois!" Adrian stared at Doctor X, observing the old man’s facial expressions, and said slowly, word by word.

After hanging up, Adrian looked at Doctor X and asked, "Old man, you know this matter best, tell me, who exactly is dead?"

"..."

"Is it Night Owl or Shade Jervois?"

"You’re overthinking it." Doctor X said with a smile.

"I hope I’m just overthinking it."

Sienna Johnson’s eyes wandered between the two, unable to understand their conversation.

"Adrian, what’s really going on here?"

Originally, Adrian had hidden it from Sienna Johnson to keep her from worrying, but since it had come to this, telling her wouldn’t hurt.

"... Night Owl’s heart had issues, he needed a transplant, and shockingly, he took his twin brother Shade Jervois’s heart..." Adrian kept his gaze fixed on Doctor X.

Sienna Johnson was stunned, "Was there really no other suitable heart?"

"The old man said heart transplants carry risks, but transplanting the twin Shade Jervois’s heart into Night Owl reduces the surgery risks significantly."

"But this also puts Shade Jervois at risk."

Though Sienna despised Night Owl, she didn’t feel the same about Shade Jervois, perceiving him as a simple, uncynical person.
