Chapter 389: Chapter 390: Becoming Sixth Master’s Little Brother
Adrian Desmond mocked, "So, your dad was wronged to death..."
Sienna Johnson’s face darkened. Seeing her expression, Adrian realized he had said something wrong and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry."
"I’m not a good person, but no matter what happens, I won’t become a woman like Sabrina Johnson. I can never bring myself to do things like killing a pregnant woman... I used to think like you do. After finding out what Sabrina has done, I even thought, if I were like her, wouldn’t I have been bullied by her for so many years?"
"..."
"...I finally figured it out. It’s not that I’m not ruthless enough; I just can’t go against my principles."
"..."
"No matter what happens, I will never become a woman like Sabrina Johnson! I want to live an honest life like my father!" She leaned her head against his, speaking softly but firmly.
Adrian smiled, "I like you no matter what."
As they were talking, a servant reported that someone had come to see them. When Sienna saw Arnold Cooper, she was surprised. Arnold was usually dressed like a flamboyant and handsome young man, but now he had a limp and used a crutch...
"Did you have a car accident? How did you get such a severe injury?" Sienna asked.
It wasn’t a car accident; Adrian Desmond had beaten him. But Arnold didn’t dare tell Sienna this unless he was tired of living.
Arnold looked at Adrian, who clenched his fists and stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes. That look was terrifying, and Arnold couldn’t help but feel scared when he thought of the force Adrian used to beat him.
He feared neither heaven nor earth, but he had to admit, he was afraid of Adrian.
"Yes, I had a car accident and have been lying in the hospital for more than two months..." he lied.
"Were you driving under the influence?... Be careful when driving in the future. You’re the only heir in your family. If something happens to you, your whole family will suffer."
"I know, I know..." Arnold said impatiently.
Arnold habitually moved closer to Sienna, but Adrian shot him a warning glance, and Arnold stopped and sat far away from Sienna.
From now on, he could only gaze at the goddess of his heart, just to satisfy the craving. With a ruthless man like Adrian around, he had no hope.
Arnold sighed, and Sienna noticed his strange behavior, asking, "Arnold, what did you come to see me for?"
"Oh, I’m actually here to see Sixth Master."
"Huh?" Sienna looked at Adrian, puzzled. When had those two become acquainted?
"You two talk; I’ll go cook."
It was almost noon, and she had to deliver lunch to Pauline Briggs later. After hearing about Pauline’s situation, her grandmother had come from Serenora City and stayed in the hospital to keep Pauline company, afraid Pauline might do something rash.
The old woman was advanced in age and in poor health, but she wouldn’t listen to anyone. Pauline, born to her in her later years, had been the apple of her eye since childhood. When Pauline attempted suicide, the old woman had cried herself unconscious.
"If you keep staring, I’ll gouge out your eyes!" Seeing Arnold still watching Sienna’s departing figure, Adrian, displeased, suddenly warned him.
Arnold was very much afraid of Adrian and quickly behaved. "Don’t worry, I’ve come to my senses, and I won’t compete with you for Sienna..."
"Sienna? Are you qualified to call her by that name?"
"Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law!"
"What do you want from me?"
"Sixth Master, I’m here to help."
"No need!" Anyone who had ulterior motives towards Sienna was on Adrian’s blacklist, and Arnold was one of them.
"I know that you need public opinion to expose Sabrina Johnson’s and the Stewart Family’s evil deeds. The Cooper family can do it. We run media and newspaper businesses in Sileria City. Influential media in Sileria City are all under the Coopers’ control. We own a satellite channel that has a certain audience nationwide. I’m willing to help you with the coverage for free..."
"..."
"Frederick Stewart is still on the run. Don’t you want to catch him, Sixth Master? As soon as the Cooper family’s media reports it, Frederick will be caught quickly," Arnold said.
Adrian glanced in the direction of the kitchen. In a low voice, he said to Arnold, "Actually, I’ve known Frederick’s hiding place for a long time!"
"You’ve known for a long time?"
"Yes."
"If you’ve known, why haven’t you informed the police?" Arnold couldn’t understand Adrian or what the man was planning.
"Once Frederick is captured, he’ll be sentenced to death. You might not know, but dying isn’t scary. What’s scary is living worse than death... I don’t like Frederick, so naturally, I want him to suffer more while he’s on the run. Otherwise, letting him die so easily would be letting him off too lightly, wouldn’t it?"
Arnold felt a chill run down his spine. Looking at Adrian, he felt as if he were sitting before a venomous king cobra, a cold sweat breaking out on his skin.
No wonder he was the Boss; his aura was overwhelming!
"Indeed, those who offend Sixth Master never seem to have a good outcome."
"So drop your little plans and forget about what’s not yours."
"I truly have given up on Sien... Sister-in-law!" Arnold unwillingly admitted.
Arnold had been making a fuss about marrying Sienna for years. No advice or persuasion could change his mind. He did not give in even after his grandmother went on a hunger strike and attempted suicide... It took a beating from Adrian for him to succumb.
He simply needed a good beating; the Coopers just couldn’t bring themselves to be harsh enough.
"No need!"
"Sixth Master, there’s one more thing, actually..."
Adrian looked at Arnold and said, "Speak up, and then get the hell out of my sight!"
"Sixth Master, I want to be your subordinate!"
Adrian looked at the man in front of him in astonishment. What on earth is this man thinking? "What do you want to do?"
"Sixth Master, I really admire you now. Please let me be your subordinate."
"Brett Jacobs!"
"Yes, Sixth Master."
"Throw him out!"
"Yes!"
Arnold knew Adrian wouldn’t accept him. He put on an air of persistence, saying, "Sixth Master, I’ll be back tomorrow! Until you agree to accept me."
Adrian instructed Brett, "If he dares to show up at my doorstep again, beat him brutally, but don’t kill him."
"Yes, Sixth Master!"
Brett was tall and sturdy, his arms thicker than Arnold’s puny thighs. He picked up Arnold, carried him to the door, and then threw him out like a bag of trash.
The door slammed shut with a BANG.
The assistant watched Arnold being kicked out and didn’t know what to say.
"I’ll be back tomorrow!" Arnold shouted.
The door suddenly opened, and seeing Brett standing in the doorway, Arnold shivered. His leg hadn’t healed yet. If Brett really attacked him, wouldn’t he be helplessly beaten?
