Chapter 1245: Challenge

Rex chuckled and said, "Alright, I'm full. I'l head to the company now.

You two can continue your chat. I won't disturb you."

"Go on then!" Sienna said without hesitation.

Rex left, and before they walked out, the two of them couldn't help but

share a kiss. Camille couldn't help but smile as she watched them.

Their relationship was truly remarkable.

Although her relationship with Ayan was also good, seeing Sienna, her

best friend, still in a state of love even after remarrying, genuinely made

Camille happy from the bottom of her heart.

Soon, the sound of a car engine could be heard from outside. It was

Rex leaving the villa.

Sienna then turned to Camille and asked, "So, w hat's the matter?"

After all, Camille had personally come to her house early in the

morning, so there must be something important. Even if it was just

going to work together, she would have called ahead.

Sienna thought this way and put down her utensils, wiping her mouth

and hands.

Then she turned around to face Camille.

Camille calmly said, "Where's your phone?"

Sienna looked around herself and replied, “I think it's in the room. Did

you call me?"

"Yes, I did. You didn't respond, so I got worried. That's why I came to

your house on my own initiative.”

"Are you afraid that Rex might have killed me?" She didn't mind saying

such things at all, and a mischievous smile hung on her face.

Camille couldn't help but roll her eyes and said indifferently, “Yes, I was

afraid that you might have been killed. That's why I came specifically.”

“Next time, just call the police. Otherwise, if you come by yourself, I'll

worry."

"Shut up. You're not good at talking.” Camille's face had changed from

indifference to coldness.

Sienna laughed, asking, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Camille suppressed her emotions on her face and said calmly, "Mario

has returned to Flento City."

"When?" Sienna's expression also stiffened, and she instinctively

asked.

Camille said he took the morning flight today and then said, "Do you

know why he went back?"

“I don't know." Sienna shook her head lightly. Her expression turned

somewhat cold, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She said, "Why did

he suddenly return to Flento City? Did something happen?”

"I found it strange, so I asked you. After all, you know him well. He

called me just yesterday, and that call was probably an attempt to use

me. But I didn't follow his lead at all. Could it be that he felt the project

was delayed and decided it wasn't worth staying in Hance City

anymore?"

"That shouldn't be it." Sienna shook her head gently and said, “Let me

call my mom and ask! Maybe he went back to send my mom off."

“No, Kian said there were only him and his secretary."

Sienna blinked and smiled faintly, "Mr. Simpson has been keeping an

eye on him all along?"

"Of course, it's natural. After all, he suddenly came to Hance City to

develop and because of you. Rex probably discussed it with Ayan, so

Ayan has had people watching Mario all along.” Camille had no

intention of hiding anything from Sienna. Instead, she asked with some

concern, “You should ask and find out what's going on. Maybe we're

just thinking too much. Ayan also had Kian try to probe Mario, but it

might take some time!"

Sienna nodded and asked Camille to sit for a while as she went

upstairs to get her phone and change clothes.

After about twenty minutes, Sienna came back downstairs.

Naturally, she saw Camille's message. Her circle in Hance City was

small, so she didn't have many friends or much information. She had

already changed all her previous accounts and didn't want to have too

much contact or knowledge about people from her past circle, as most

of them were associated with the King family.

After coming downstairs, Sienna sat beside Camille and dialed Mrs.

King's phone number.

At this time, Mrs. King was already awake, as her routine was very

normal.

The call connected quickly, and Mrs. King's voice immediately came

from the other end, "Sienna? Are you up so early?"

Sienna quickly replied, "Yes, I just had breakfast. Have you eaten?"

“I have too. I'm planning to go out for a walk.” Mrs. King said, indicating

that she wasn't leaving Hance City with Mario. She continued chatting

with Sienna about her plans to go shopping later, mentioning how fresh

the fruits she bought last time tasted.

Sienna quickly offered, "I'll buy some for you and bring them over later.

It's a bit far from there, and it's not convenient for you to take a taxi."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" Mrs. King asked.

Sienna immediately said, "Of course not.” She pursed her lips, took a

silent breath, and then said softly, "Mom, actually, I have something I

want to ask you."

Mrs. King asked, "What is it?"

Sienna made up a random excuse and brought up the topic of Mario.

She mentioned that there had been a slight issue with his project in

Hance City recently, and then she said, "Since he's been in Hance City

recently, I plan to go to Flento City to deal with some wedding matters.

Can you keep an eye on him for me? If he shows any intention of

returning to Flento City, I'll come back to Hance City immediately,

okay?"

Mrs. King fell into a brief silence while listening. In fact, Sienna was

about to directly ask if Mario had returned to Flento City, but she felt it

was inappropriate to say it that way.

Because it would expose the fact that someone has been keeping an

eye on Mario from their side. Even though it wouldn't harm Mario, Mrs.

King would definitely not approve, and it might imply something to

Mario, which wouldn't be good.

So Sienna changed her reasons and approach to ask, not wanting Mrs.

King to know that she already knew Mario had left Hance City.

After listening, Mrs. King didn't think much about it. She thought

carefully about what Mario had said and then said, "If you really must

go to Flento City, it seems like there's no other choice.”

“Thank you for understanding, Mom. Can I leave today or tomorrow?"

Sienna asked.

"Sure," Mrs. King agreed directly.

Sienna and Camille exchanged glances, both realizing that Mrs. King

was unaware of Mario leaving Hance City.

Sienna narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Please keep an eye on

my brother's movements at all times, Mom. Let me know immediately if

anything happens.”

Mrs. King agreed, and then Sienna mentioned that she would send

fruits over later before ending the call.

Sienna put down her phone, her gaze somewhat vacant as she looked

at Camille and asked, "Did Ayan's people make a mistake?"

Based on Mrs. King's attention to Mario, it was entirely possible that

Mrs. King had no idea about Mario leaving Hance City. But why would

Mrs. King deceive them and collude with Mario? That seemed unlikely,

as Mrs. King would prefer to never see Mario again.

The more Sienna thought about it, the more confused she became.

Camille was also puzzled but immediately informed Ayan about the

situation. After learning about it, Ayan sent a photo of Mario leaving — a

shot taken by the person monitoring him at the airport. It was unlikely

for him to get on the plane and then get off again. Why would they go

through all this trouble just to confuse them? What was the purpose?

Neither of them could make sense of it, but all the presented facts

indicated that Mario had indeed returned to Flento City. The plane

hadn't landed yet, but Ayan had already arranged for someone to wait

at the Flento City airport. If they saw Mario, they would definitely take

photos.

Sienna and Camille were both dealing with this intense and challenging

situation early in the morning, and honestly, they both had headaches

from it.

They didn't know what Mario was up to and couldn't be bothered to

investigate further. They entrusted it to Ayan to handle. As for

themselves, they went out to buy fruits for Mrs. King.

They drove to Mrs. King's place and Mrs. King seemed to be in a good

mood. She was very happy to see Sienna and Camille coming together.

She even chatted with Camille for a while. After resting in the hotel

room for a bit, Mrs. King didn't insist on keeping them and let them go

since they had work to handle.

Before leaving, Mrs. King said, "I wonder what your brother is up to? I

just went to knock on his door, but no one answered. I was thinking of

having lunch together. It's been a few days since I've had a meal with

him. He's so busy, I don't see him at all during the day.”
