Chapter 411: Chapter 412: The Perfect Debut
The news was explosive. Everyone was stunned. They hadn’t expected that Sabrina Johnson not only murdered Dexter Johnson, but had once tried to kill Sienna Johnson too.
Sienna Johnson was the heir to the Johnson family. Was Sabrina Johnson also trying to seize the Johnson family’s inheritance?
"President Johnson, is this true?"
Adrian Desmond answered for Sienna Johnson, "Of course, it’s true! I was the one who saved Sienna Johnson!"
"Mr. Desmond, could you describe the situation at that time?"
Due to Sabrina Johnson’s case lately, Sienna Johnson had also been exposed to the media. As Sienna Johnson’s husband, Adrian Desmond naturally couldn’t avoid it, so the reporters knew who he was.
Of course, Adrian Desmond’s presence was very strong, impossible to ignore.
"Of course!"
"When I found Sienna Johnson, she was in a shark-infested area in the Naminua Ocean. A shark was chasing her. If I hadn’t been passing by that area, Sienna Johnson would have been eaten by the shark..."
Adrian Desmond’s words painted a vivid picture. His remarkable demeanor and the confident way he stood there completely captivated everyone.
Flashbulbs constantly flashed at Adrian Desmond. Sienna Johnson and Adrian Desmond held hands the entire time, looking like a picture of marital bliss.
Sienna Johnson said, "I have always been grateful to the people and events around me. I am grateful to Sabrina Johnson, because if it weren’t for her, I would never have met my current husband, Adrian Desmond.
"Back then, Sabrina Johnson and my former fiancé, Frederick Stewart, conspired behind my back. They tricked me into going to Amwan, claiming it was for a vacation. I never expected that they actually planned on murdering me."
"After I returned, I confronted Sabrina Johnson. She wanted to kill me because she had fallen for my fiancé!"
This motive was truly malicious—coveting another’s fiancé, showing no remorse, and even plotting to kill the fiancée.
"Although Sabrina Johnson and I are not related by blood, I always considered her my younger sister. I didn’t know that Sabrina Johnson had fallen in love with my former fiancé. If I had known, I would have let them be together."
Sienna Johnson presented her magnanimous and kind side to the public, thereby highlighting Sabrina Johnson’s viciousness.
This was a tactic Sabrina Johnson excelled at; unexpectedly, Sienna Johnson managed to use it herself this time.
"But she chose the most extreme, cruel, and evil way!"
A reporter asked, "President Johnson, why didn’t you accuse Sabrina Johnson of attempted murder earlier?"
"Because my mother doted on Sabrina Johnson very much. She wouldn’t believe that the adopted daughter she cherished would want to kill her own biological daughter!"
"Sienna, it was all Mama’s fault. Mama never expected she was raising a snake... Not only did she try to kill you, but she also killed your father..." Pauline Briggs could barely breathe from crying, a far cry from her usual composed demeanor.
"Mom, it’s okay. It’s all in the past." Sienna Johnson held Pauline Briggs, displaying a scene of deep mother-daughter affection.
Pauline Briggs hadn’t expected Sienna Johnson to call her Mom; Sienna hadn’t called her "Mom" for many years.
"Sienna, have you forgiven me?"
Sienna Johnson ignored Pauline Briggs’s question and faced the reporters, continuing, "I considered Sabrina Johnson my sister, thinking she was just blinded by love, so I forgave her..."
The truth was, Sienna Johnson lacked evidence at the time, and she was too weak to stand against Sabrina Johnson.
"But then I accidentally discovered that Sabrina Johnson had murdered my father. I knew I couldn’t tolerate her anymore."
"She is a venomous snake. Her heart is incredibly toxic and utterly cold... First me, then my father. Who would be next?"
"My gentle mother? My aged grandmother, my young little sister? My father has passed away. I can’t continue to risk the lives of my loved ones, so I told the truth..."
"I never imagined Sabrina Johnson wouldn’t repent. Instead, to clear herself of murder, she actually slandered and defamed my father!"
"That man was not only my father but also Sabrina Johnson’s adoptive father! My father raised Sabrina Johnson, yet Sabrina Johnson killed my father!"
Her gaze was firm as she solemnly declared, "Sabrina Johnson’s crimes are too numerous to list! As long as I, Sienna Johnson, am alive, I will make her pay for everything she has done!"
"Otherwise, I am not fit to be the successor of the Johnson family, much less the daughter of Dexter Johnson!"
After Sienna Johnson’s passionate and stirring declaration, she thanked everyone again, bowed deeply, and then left with the Johnson family members, their backs straight and resolute under the public gaze.
The flashbulbs continued to fire. Sienna Johnson’s eyes were red, but she resolutely held back her tears.
Adrian Desmond looked at this woman with admiration. He knew she was intelligent, and at this moment, he couldn’t help but praise her excellent speech.
「...」
The Johnson family members got into two cars. After Sienna Johnson settled the Old Madam, she left with Adrian Desmond.
In the car, Adrian Desmond asked, "Your father has been exonerated. Aren’t you happy now?"
Sienna Johnson suddenly flung herself into Adrian Desmond’s arms, crying hysterically, which startled him.
"Sienna, what’s wrong?"
"Adrian, I feel so awful..."
"Your father has been exonerated, and Sabrina Johnson will be sentenced soon. She’ll spend her entire life in prison, never getting out. Why are you still so sad?" Adrian Desmond gently stroked her silk-like hair, comforting her softly.
"But, my father will never come back to life..."
"Sienna!"
"Even if Sabrina Johnson goes to jail, my father won’t come back to life!"
Adrian Desmond didn’t know how to comfort her. Yes, even if they killed Sabrina Johnson, the deceased Dexter Johnson could never come back.
Sienna Johnson cried as if to release all her sorrow and grievances. Adrian Desmond’s shirt was soaked with her tears. She needed this catharsis, so even though his heart ached for her, he didn’t interrupt.
After crying for a full half hour, Sienna Johnson finally stopped. Adrian Desmond had never known Sienna Johnson could cry so much.
"Cried enough?"
Sienna Johnson nodded.
"You always say you and Madam Johnson aren’t alike, but just look at the way you cry—you’re clearly mother and daughter!"
"Are you making fun of me?" she asked, her eyes red and swollen, her voice tinged with displeasure.
"How could I dare make fun of you? I love you. Even with your makeup ruined from crying and your eyes swollen like walnuts, I still love you."
Sienna Johnson, being a woman, was naturally concerned about her appearance. Hearing that her makeup was ruined from crying, she quickly turned away, not letting Adrian Desmond see.
"What are you hiding for? I’ve seen you at your worst."
