Chapter 395: Chapter 396: Master Leland Wants to Break Up a Loving Couple
"...Being my son-in-law is much better than being the Johnson family’s live-in son-in-law. What I can give you is far more than what the Johnson family can. Adrian, don’t you agree?" Master Leland tempted, tossing an enticing bait for Adrian Desmond to bite.
Aiden Howard watched the commotion with excitement, his gaping mouth never closing.
Walter Klein was unwilling to stay in Sileria City, but he found it much more interesting here than in Abyanabad; the unfolding drama was even more exciting than watching television shows.
This Master Leland, when people called him "Master," truly regarded himself as one. However, the real master was sitting right there.
"...I’ll give you some time to think it over carefully. Once you’ve thought it through, give me your answer."
Master Leland didn’t take Sienna Johnson seriously and even underestimated Adrian Desmond’s strength. He thought Adrian Desmond was merely interested in the Johnson family’s fortune and wanted to be a self-made man, thereby reducing his struggle by a decade or so.
Sienna Johnson had a short temper. She picked up the lemon water before her and splashed it on Master Leland’s face. Bodyguards from both sides drew their guns simultaneously. Aiden Howard moved swiftly, flashing forward to press his gun against Master Leland’s forehead, and said with a grin, "Nobody move! My gun doesn’t have eyes. If I accidentally put a bullet in this old man’s head, there’s no saving him at his age..." Aiden Howard even patted Master Leland’s head, showing him absolutely no respect.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant! Let go of Master Leland now!" Morris aimed his gun at Aiden Howard, shouting angrily.
Aiden Howard suddenly fired at Morris, the bullet hitting Morris’s knee. Morris fell to the ground with a THUD. The other three bodyguards were about to shoot Aiden Howard, but his gun was once again pressed against the back of Master Leland’s head. Everyone was surprised at Aiden Howard’s speed with a gun.
"Sixth Master, why bother talking to him? Just slaughter this old coot and feed him to the dogs," Aiden Howard said arrogantly.
Adrian Desmond said, "The target is too prominent; it’ll be hard to manage the aftermath. For now, we’ll spare him."
Adrian Desmond looked at Master Leland and said, "You’re old. You should stay at home and focus on your well-being. Don’t meddle in things that don’t concern you!"
Master Leland was rendered speechless.
"It’s not good for a man to be overly lustful, especially at your age. Losing your life over a woman isn’t worth it."
Again, Master Leland had no reply.
"Sabrina Johnson must die!"
Having never been so humiliated, Master Leland glared angrily at Adrian Desmond. "Do you know who I am?"
"Just an old man!"
Sienna Johnson was a businesswoman who always advocated for amicable dealings to generate wealth, but she couldn’t tolerate Master Leland. It wasn’t that she was afraid of him; rather, they were destined not to be friends, so there was no need for pretense. Moreover, Master Leland had successfully enraged her today!
Her father had been dead for many years, yet he was still being insulted like this. If she, as his daughter, couldn’t even voice her anger, she wasn’t worthy of being Dexter Johnson’s daughter!
"...Master Leland, I will remember the humiliation you and Sabrina Johnson inflicted on my father today. I will pay you back double for this!" Sienna Johnson declared war on Master Leland.
"Just an insolent brat! You dare underestimate me? You think I’m a pushover just because I haven’t shown my power?" Master Leland said.
"Adrian Desmond is right; you’re just an old man," Sienna Johnson retorted.
Master Leland was visibly fuming but silent.
Sienna Johnson continued, "Looking at your complexion, you’re outwardly strong but inwardly weak. If you want to live a few more years, you should honestly focus on your well-being. Otherwise, if you get angry and suffer a stroke, your life will be miserable..."
"Don’t be angry. The doctor said pregnant women shouldn’t get upset," Adrian Desmond said, gently stroking Sienna Johnson’s back to soothe her.
Sienna Johnson was truly furious, more so than she had ever been!
Her father, the man she respected most, had been so cruelly slandered and humiliated, and yet, as his daughter, she could do nothing.
The private room door opened, and a woman in her thirties entered. Her gaze swept around the room before finally resting on Adrian Desmond’s face. She smiled at him and asked, "You’re Adrian?"
"Let’s go." Adrian Desmond felt it was unnecessary to stay any longer. Sienna Johnson pressed a mint-scented handkerchief to her nose, trying to block out the stench of the scoundrels around her; otherwise, she felt she might vomit.
As the two walked towards the exit, the mature, voluptuous woman did not make way. "Hello, my name is Cynthia Leland. Can we be friends?"
Cynthia Leland looked at Adrian Desmond with undisguised desire, her eyes signaling that she liked him and wanted to sleep with him.
"A good dog doesn’t block the path. Move!" Adrian Desmond said coldly.
Cynthia Leland was also thick-skinned. She pulled out her business card and forcibly stuffed it into Adrian Desmond’s hand. He frowned at the woman before him.
"My phone number is on it. You can call me anytime," she said, winking at Adrian Desmond.
He looked even more handsome in person than in his photos, and his inherent domineering aura captivated Cynthia Leland. She adored such intensely masculine men.
Adrian Desmond flicked his hand, letting the card flutter to the ground. He pushed Cynthia Leland aside and carefully escorted Sienna Johnson downstairs. Once Aiden Howard was sure Adrian Desmond was safe, he holstered his gun. He then walked up to Cynthia Leland, pulled out a piece of paper with a phone number on it, stuffed it into Cynthia Leland’s ample cleavage, and even took the opportunity to cop a feel.
Aiden Howard said, "Sixth Master has high standards; he wouldn’t be interested in your type. However, if you’re looking for a hookup, you can call me. I’m great in bed. Anyway, all the women who’ve slept with me can’t stop praising my prowess, saying I’m skilled and, let’s say, generously endowed..."
Cynthia Leland was momentarily stunned.
Aiden Howard pressed on, "If you don’t believe it, we can test the goods!"
Cynthia Leland raised her hand to slap Aiden Howard, but he grabbed her wrist, pushed her away, and then strode out.
「 」
In the car, Sienna Johnson’s face was dark with anger, and no amount of coaxing from Adrian Desmond helped.
"Why are you getting angry with those people?"
Sienna Johnson remained stonily silent.
Adrian Desmond continued gently, "Don’t be angry. If you upset yourself, we’re the ones who suffer."
Sienna Johnson’s icy glare fixed on Adrian Desmond, making his heart tremble. "Sixth Master is so capable, even managing to attract Master Leland’s precious daughter... When did this happen? How come I knew nothing about it?"
"How would I know? I’ve been with you constantly lately, not even attending to business. I’ve been cooped up in the kitchen every day, researching recipes, just hoping you’ll eat a little more. Other women are less tempting to me than a piece of pork... How about sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner tonight?"
"I don’t want to eat."
"Are you still thinking about what happened in the courtroom?"
"How can I not think about it? Tomorrow, all of Sileria City will know what happened in court... Sabrina Johnson, she’s truly vicious. To clear her own name, she actually slandered my father like that..." Thinking about what happened in court today, Sienna Johnson felt a headache coming on.
Her father’s reputation was ruined!
