Chapter 1121 Condemnation

Mario, hearing Sienna’s questioning, a faint smile curved his lips, but

his voice remained calm and unruffled, without much fluctuation, as if

everything was under his control.

He said, "Sienna, haven't you known from the beginning what I want to

do?"

Sienna squinted her eyes, her expression calm yet indifferent. She was

well aware of the meaning behind Mario's words. She said, "I don't

know, and I don't want to know. What you want to do has nothing to do

with me. I thought we had reached an agreement from the beginning,

so I don't understand what you're saying now."

Sienna's evasion had no effect on Mario. He just smiled, confidently

saying, "We reached an agreement? I've never reached an agreement

with you. Did you consult with me when you left the King family, left the

King Group? No, right? You acted on your own, never asked for my

approval. So, how can you call it an agreement?"

Mario's tone revealed clear displeasure. He continued, "Sienna, I've

told you, without my approval, even if you're married now, it's useless. I

have the confidence to change anything unless I'm willing. Regardless

of the current situation, I have the power to change it."

"Mario, do you know what you're saying? You completely disregard

others’ feelings, only thinking about your own goals. You're too selfish,

excessively selfish!" Sienna was furious. She thought Mario was like a

madman. Her emotions were intense as she said, "Also, if you want to

force me with those despicable means, then I have no choice but to

disappear from this world. Perhaps only then can your vanity

completely disappear, right?"

Sienna displayed an attitude of complete indifference and nonchalance.

This demeanor irritated Mario slightly. He asked, "What do you mean?

Are you threatening me?"

"If that's how you want to perceive it, then yes!" Sienna didn't care at

all.

This infuriated Mario. His face showed obvious anger and coldness. He

said, "Are you afraid I'll take action against Rex and the Ward family, so

you want to protect them in this way? Do you think a man who can't

even protect himself needs a woman to protect him? Is such a man

worth all your efforts?"

Mario's words were full of anger and questioning, but Sienna felt a hint

of mockery. It was as if he was telling her to see what kind of man she

had chosen, one who needed her protection. Couldn't he face him

head-on?

Facing Mario's series of taunts, Sienna did not respond. She knew in

her heart that Rex was not that kind of person. Rex hadn't taken any

action because he didn’t want to put her in a difficult position.

Sienna didn't intend to continue chatting with Mario. She coldly said,

"Think whatever you want. Everything is clear now. If you really want to

do something, I'm afraid it's just going to backfire. The King family

doesn't want you personally tarnishing its reputation, right?"

After saying that, Sienna hung up the phone.

She threw her phone aside, not even wanting to look at it. Every time

she saw her phone, she couldn't help but think of Mario's call just now.

She had developed a kind of fear towards Mario. She didn't want to

know anything related to him.

She tightly pursed her lips, her face pale and powerless, her eyes filled

with exhaustion and weariness.

She let out a heavy sigh, her expression unusually cold. Silently, she

asked herself, what should she do? How could she completely cut ties

with the King family?

Although the King family had raised her, Mario's actions were truly

unacceptable to her, especially given her clear understanding of

Mario's intentions. If she didn't do anything, Mario would only escalate

his actions.

Sienna felt distressed, her mind in a chaotic mess.

But what she didn't know was that more chaos awaited.

She spent the entire day at home until the evening when she received

a call from Rex.

She hadn't disturbed Rex all day because of Mario's situation, and she

figured Rex must be dealing with his own set of problems. It was better

for both of them to calm down a bit.

So, they hadn't been in contact the whole day until now when Rex's call

came through.

Sienna was a bit afraid when she heard her phone ringing, fearing it

might be Mario again. However, the good thing was that Sienna had set

a different ringtone for Rex, so she immediately knew it was him when

it rang.

Sienna quickly picked up the phone before Rex could speak, and she

immediately said, "Hello?"

Rex's gentle voice asked, "At home?"

"Yeah." Sienna leaned back on the sofa, lazily replying, "I've been

alone at home all day. When are you coming back? Will you come back

tonight and have dinner with me?"

Rex chuckled, "Bored?"

"A bit. Camille and Ayan went to work. Can you believe how clingy they

are even though they've been married for so long?" Sienna's tone was

full of disdain.

Rex playfully asked, "Are you implying something? Do you want me to

bring you to the company?"

“I'm not." Sienna immediately denied it.

Rex, of course, didn't believe her and continued, "How about this,

accompany me to work tomorrow? Look at them, they've been married

for so long, and their child is so big, yet they're still so affectionate. We,

as a newlywed couple, can't fall behind, right?"

Sienna snorted and said, "Do you think this is a competition? A

competition of who's more affectionate?"

"Of course not. Who wants to compete with them? We're still in the

honeymoon period!" Rex's voice was tender as he laughed. Changing

the topic back to business, he said, "I'll come pick you up now, and we'll

go back to the Ward's mansion for dinner. My dad called me; he said

there are guests at home today.”

"Guests?" Sienna was a bit puzzled. "What kind of guests would make

Mr. Ward personally go back? Are they really guests, or do they just

miss us and want us to come home for dinner?"

She joked, her tone carrying a hint of amusement. Rex said, "I'm not

sure. Dad just said we'll know when we get back home. I guess there

might not be any guests; they just want us to come home for dinner.”

Rex's parents were incredibly open-minded and exceptionally kind to

Sienna. They never intruded on their private world, never pressured

them about having children, and never interfered in their decisions and

thoughts. They provided them with ample space and freedom.

Such a mother-in-law was truly hard to find.

So, Sienna hardly gave it a second thought before immediately saying,

“Let's go back then. Mom probably misses me. It's all your fault. You've

been too busy lately, unwilling to take me back to see Mom. I'll tell Mom

later that it's all your fault, preventing us from meeting and chatting.”

Sienna's sudden change made Rex unable to suppress a laugh. He

said, "Sienna, aren't you afraid of being scolded by my parents? We're

a couple; shouldn't we share responsibilities together?"

Sienna didn't respond, essentially giving her consent and leaving Rex

with no way to argue.

Rex asked Sienna to get ready; he would come back to pick her up.

In about forty minutes, Rex returned to Franklin Bay to pick up Sienna,

and they headed back to the Ward's mansion together.

Because they guessed it was only Mr. Ward and Madison missing

them, the two didn't speculate about the guests. Even when they

arrived at the Ward's mansion, they refrained from asking about the

guests.

Hand in hand, they entered through the gate, and the mansion's staff

greeted them warmly. The servants working in the houses of families

like the Ward and Simpson had become like family over the years.

Rex led Sienna into the hall, and just as they stepped through the hall's

door, they heard voices inside.
