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.
