The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 960 - 931: Informant

"Do you think she’s going through a rebellious phase?" Sienna Johnson asked, thinking of Curly, who had been contradicting her constantly lately.

"Isn’t the rebellious phase supposed to be in their teens? She’s only five!"

"Kids have rebellious phases too."

"No, you’re worrying unnecessarily."

Adrian Desmond couldn’t stand Sienna Johnson’s disposition. What was originally a simple matter became complicated after passing through her intricate mind.

Sienna Johnson stared at Adrian Desmond, her eyes deep and penetrating, making Adrian’s heart skip a beat.

Adrian Desmond laughed, "Mrs. Desmond, don’t look at me like that; it’s making me uneasy. I am utterly faithful to you, and when I go out, I don’t even glance at any females."

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"No!"

"Really?"

"Really."

"Adrian, do you know what happens when you deceive your wife?"

Adrian Desmond found it hard to outsmart Sienna Johnson. He sighed, rubbed his forehead, and conceded, "Fine, I’ll tell. It’s about the Hopper Family."

"What happened now?" Sienna Johnson asked, her voice clearly displeased.

The Hopper Family had repeatedly caused her trouble, and Sienna Johnson was fed up. If it weren’t for the fact that she was about to give birth and didn’t want to dirty her hands, she’d have already arranged for someone to teach them a lesson.

"Mrs. Desmond, you miscalculated!"

"What do you mean?"

"You revealed the Hopper Family’s hideout to the loan sharks, intending for them to deal with the Hoppers. But guess what?" Adrian Desmond teased.

"Did they collude?"

"Mrs. Desmond, you’re indeed smart. They really teamed up. And guess what they’re planning?"

Sienna Johnson impatiently said, "Stop being cryptic, tell me clearly."

"They’ve conspired to kidnap your daughter."

"What?" Sienna Johnson shouted.

"Calm down. They won’t succeed; I have Marion keeping an eye on Curly." Adrian Desmond reassured the agitated Sienna Johnson, not expecting her to be this upset.

Sienna Johnson gazed towards the door, her eyes somber, "I always thought the Hopper Family was just greedy, never realizing they could be so malicious!

They actually targeted a child."

Adrian Desmond remained indifferent, "Probably desperate and cornered. The loan sharks are pressing them for money, so they’ve set their sights on Curly.

Your adopted brother, is he blind?

How could he associate with such a family?"

Anyone with a bit of sense should have known better than to provoke me and Sienna Johnson, yet they are brazen but mindless.

Sienna Johnson pressed her lips together, remaining silent.

Sally walked in to report, "Sixth Master, Madam, Ashley Hopper is here."

Sienna Johnson was furious, snapping, "What do they want now?"

Sally lowered her head and said, "Ashley Hopper came alone; she says she has something important to tell you."

"Let her in!" Sienna Johnson said harshly.

"Yes, Madam." Sally left to bring Ashley Hopper to see Sienna Johnson.

Adrian Desmond sat beside Sienna Johnson, playing with her hand, a meaningful smile constantly lingering on his lips.

Not long after, Sally brought Ashley Hopper over. After her miscarriage, Ashley had suffered greatly, losing weight, and although she wasn’t pretty, she appeared more delicate.

"Auntie..."

"Sienna Johnson! Auntie is not your title to call! Have you forgotten you and my brother are divorced!" Sienna Johnson retorted fiercely.

The Hopper Family had exhausted Sienna Johnson’s last bit of kindness and compassion. She now found them irritating.

"Waa..." Ashley Hopper was frightened into tears by Sienna Johnson, standing there, sobbing.

Sienna Johnson spoke with impatience, "Sally, throw her out. In the future, if any Hopper Family members come, get rid of them! If they won’t leave, call the police directly!"

"Yes, Madam!" Sally stepped forward to throw Ashley out. In some aspects, she and Ashley had a rivalry.

Given the actions of the Hopper Family, Sally naturally held no goodwill towards them.

"Wait, I have something to say." Ashley Hopper dodged to the side and said.

"Speak up, spit it out, or get out!"

Sienna Johnson erupted, swearing vocally. Adrian Desmond watched his wife so angry, he couldn’t help but chuckle beside her.

"Calm down, remember the prenatal education, prenatal education!" Adrian Desmond said.

Sienna Johnson glanced at Adrian Desmond, then twisted her hand on his thigh, causing Adrian Desmond to stop laughing abruptly.

"Ashley Hopper, what do you want? If you’re here for money, let me tell you, I have money, but I won’t lend you even a penny!

You know why yourself!"

"No..." Ashley Hopper hesitated, many words stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

"Throw her out!"

Sienna Johnson had no time to deal with her. She now found Ashley Hopper irritating, and if it weren’t for this woman, none of these troubles would have occurred.

"Jenny and Scarface want to kidnap Curly." Ashley Hopper, in her urgency, blurted everything out.

"Then what?" Sienna Johnson already knew this, so she wasn’t surprised.

"Make sure to keep Curly safe, don’t let them succeed."

Sienna Johnson sneered, "Ashley Hopper, you always got along well with your family, so why are you now helping outsiders?

Why are you telling me this?

What’s your angle?"

"It’s true. Scarface has already scoped the place; he knows Curly goes to the Children’s Palace to learn painting every morning at nine."

Sienna Johnson’s expression turned stern, glaring at Ashley Hopper while her hand on Adrian Desmond’s leg clenched into a fist. Adrian Desmond took her hand, pried it open slowly, intertwining their fingers.

"... I’ve seen right through them... I treated them as family, but they never considered me family.

If it weren’t for them, Marvin and I would be living well now, and my baby wouldn’t have been lost." Ashley Hopper glanced at Sienna Johnson’s belly and started crying again.

"..."

"Can you... allow me to see Marvin just once?"

"No!"

"Please, I just want to see Marvin once, just one time." Ashley Hopper pleaded humbly.

"Your Hopper Family is rotten to the core. If I let you see him once, you’ll want to see him again and again.

Are you hoping to reconcile with my brother?"

"We were married once."

Ashley Hopper held onto a sliver of hope that Marvin Rafael might still hold some affection for her.

"Ashley Hopper, stop deluding yourself! Even if my brother has feelings for you, I wouldn’t let someone like you ruin his life!"

"..."

"Get out, and don’t let me see you again!"

"Auntie!"

Adrian Desmond signaled to Sally with his eyes, and Sally understood, forcefully dragging the crying Ashley Hopper out.
