"Just do as he told you. You just need to truthfully tell me what he said.

After my wedding is over, it will be difficult for him to do anything.

However, just to be safe, you also need to let the others in the King

family know, especially now that he's focused on Hance City."

“Isn't this harming him?"

"Of course not. Only when he returns to Flento City will he relax. Mom,

do you want to see him like this for the rest of his life?"

Sienna asked heavily.

Mrs. King thought about Sienna's words and nodded slightly, thinking

they made sense. She replied, “But there are still risks involved in this.

What if the people from the King family take this opportunity to take

King Group away from him?"

"Mom, it's not easy to take away the CEO position of a company,

especially considering the benefits they've enjoyed under my brother's

leadership all these years. If it were someone else, would they still

enjoy these benefits?"

Sienna earnestly analyzed the situation with Mrs. King. Mario's abilities

surpassed all the members of the King family combined, which is why

he was chosen to lead them.

Mario's journey to this point hadn't been easy, and Sienna understood

that very well.

She truly recognized Mario's abilities, not only because of his hard work

but also because of his natural leadership skills, especially in

negotiations and business dealings.

Sienna didn't believe that Mario's actions would be easily countered by

the King family. After all, he had strategized and led for so many years.

Sienna had a long conversation with Mrs. King, once again telling her

that her feelings for Mario were purely sibling-like. She didn't want to

lose Mrs. King or Mario, as only family relationships could be

maintained forever and provide additional support to Mario.

Mrs. King was a smart person too, and since Sienna had expressed

herself so clearly, she wouldn't continue to dwell on the matter.

She just said to Sienna, "Sienna, it's not that I don't like you. I raised

you, and from the moment you entered the King family, I never let you

go without anything. On the contrary, you have had better things than

the other cousins in the King family. I truly treated you like my own

daughter. But I have hurt you with regard to Mario, because I had no

other choice. Although I know what I did was wrong, I couldn't control

myself because Mario has had such a difficult journey, especially after

your father passed away. He has put in a lot of effort and faced many

challenges. I can't let him encounter any problems."

Mrs. King couldn't control her emotions and began to lose control. She

quickly lowered her head, looking extremely guilty and self-blaming.

Seeing this scene, Sienna felt sorry for her and handed her a tissue,

whispering, "Mom, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore. I

understand your thoughts.”

As an adopted daughter compared to her biological son, they were

indeed treated the same when there were no issues. Mrs. King even

showed more affection towards Sienna. However, when problems

arose, Mrs. King chose her biological son, and Sienna could

understand that. But in that particular situation, she couldn't be

magnanimous. She had nothing but Mrs. King, and it would be false to

say that she didn't blame her at all.

However, now that the situation had passed, Sienna had let go, and

she didn't want to continue tormenting herself by holding onto it. During

the meal, they opened up to each other and had many heartfelt

conversations, which made their relationship much closer than before.

After the meal, Sienna drove Mrs. King back to the hotel. Sienna said to

Mrs. King, "I'll be busy preparing for the competition in the near future,

so I may not have much time to come and accompany you. If you need

anything, just give me a call. On the day of the competition, I'l come to

pick you up and we can go to the venue together, okay?"

"Alright, focus on your own matters. Don't worry about me. If I get bored

at the hotel, I'll go out for a walk." Mrs. King smiled slightly. It was

probably her happiest day since arriving in Hance City.

Finally, Mrs. King took the fruits Sienna had bought for her and got out

of the car. Sienna watched her enter the hotel lobby before leaving.

After Mrs. King returned, Mario naturally found out immediately.

However, Mario unusually didn't ask what Mrs. King and Sienna had

talked about. He simply said he had work and left.

Mrs. King didn't think much of it.

Mario returned to his room and called his secretary. He said, "Contact

Mr. Burris from Armstrong Corp and find out their thoughts on the

suspension of the Ayan project.”

The secretary nodded gently and said, "I will contact them immediately,

Miss King. Are you considering collaborating with Armstrong Corp?"

Mario didn't give a clear response, but simply said indifferently, "Having

one more friend is definitely better than having one more stranger.”

The secretary acknowledged and immediately went to contact Horace.

When Horace received the call from Mario's secretary, he was having a

meal with Ayan, Rex, and a few others. Camille was also present, and

Sienna was on her way.

After hearing the secretary's introduction, Horace subconsciously

paused and then glanced at Ayan, making a gesture with his mouth.

Everyone quieted down and waited for Horace to finish the call.

Horace asked, "What's the matter?"

Mario stated his purpose, and after listening, Horace subconsciously

looked at Ayan and casually switched on the speakerphone. He

responded calmly, “Miss King wants me to find out Mr. Armstrong's

thoughts? However, Armstrong Corp is just a participant in this project.

Even if Mr. Armstrong knows, it doesn't seem to make much of a

difference, right?"

Mario's secretary said, "Mr. Burris, Mrs. Simpson is part of the

Armstrong family. Mr. Armstrong is Mrs. Simpson's father, so he still has

some influence over her, right?"

"But this matter is the fault of the Nores family. It seems like there

shouldn't be any problem with Mrs. Simpson's stance," Horace replied.

"Mr. Burris, please don't misunderstand. Miss King wants to be

prepared in case the Nores family continues to have trouble with Alicia.

In that case, we can only rely on Mr. Armstrong to persuade Mrs.

Simpson to be more accommodating. After all, we can't keep

interrupting the project like this, right? If this continues, it won't have

much impact on Simpson Group, but Armstrong Corp may not have it

so easy," the secretary explained.

Horace simply smiled lightly, without directly answering the question.

He said, "I understand Miss King's intentions, but I'm not sure if Mr.

Armstrong would be willing to do that. So, for now, I can't give Miss

King any definite answers!"

The topic ended there. After hanging up the phone, Horace looked at

Ayan again and smiled faintly, saying, “You heard what Mario said.

What does Mr. Simpson plan to do?"
