The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

In the nursery, Sheehan was crawling on the floor. He was crawling quite well now, with soft mats laid out on the ground and the edges wrapped with soft plastic, so there was no fear of him bumping into anything.

"Sheehan, come to mommy." Sienna Johnson clapped her hands to attract his attention.

Sheehan had already crawled to the wall, and seeing there was no way forward, he turned around and crawled back towards his mother.

"Sheehan, well done, keep going."

Halfway there, he saw his father push the door open and enter. Sheehan changed direction and crawled towards his father, who would lift him high up, something Sheehan really loved.

"Ah, oo oo oo..." Sheehan crawled quickly to Adrian Desmond’s feet, holding his leg as if trying to stand up.

Adrian lifted his son, "Giggle..." Sheehan laughed, waiting to be lifted high.

Adrian came over to Sienna Johnson, who was sitting on the floor playing with a hand bell.

"How are things going?" Sienna asked.

"Kiya has left."

Adrian sat down cross-legged in front of Sienna. Sheehan, leaning against his father’s chest, didn’t want to stay there as he didn’t get lifted high for a long time, so he went crawling for an adventure again.

"Left? What do you mean? He’s giving up on Paige?"

"No."

"Can you stop speaking halfway? Can you say everything at once?" Sienna asked impatiently.

"Kiya said he spotted a man in the Imperial Palace who looks a lot like Night Owl, and there’s also an old man... If that man is truly Night Owl, that old guy should be Doctor X." Adrian speculated.

"..."

"Kiya means that as long as Paige Desmond follows him back to the Imperial Palace, he’ll hand over Night Owl to me."

"Kiya is really persistent," Sienna mocked coldly. "Now he regrets it, but what was he doing earlier."

"Do you think it’s possible that Night Owl is in the Imperial Palace?"

Sienna pondered for a moment and said, "If he’s really hiding in the Imperial Palace, that would explain why we haven’t been able to find him.

Concealing him in the Imperial Palace is indeed a good strategy."

Sheehan placed a rattle in his mother’s hand, Sienna kissed Sheehan and smiled at him. He looked at the rattle and then at his mother, seemingly understanding something, and crawled away again.

He brought back everything he could carry to his mother, placed them in her hand, and then sat there, revealing a few tiny teeth like millet grains in his mouth.

"Ah ah..." Seeing his mother not moving, Sheehan babbled. Sienna leaned over and kissed his cheek, fulfilling his wish as he went off to fetch more things for her.

"This boy is so young and already so forward."

"Don’t talk nonsense, he’s so young, what does he know."

Paige knocked on the door and walked in, "Brother, sister-in-law..."

Seeing Paige looking troubled, Sienna asked, "Are you here to see your brother for something?"

"It’s about Kiya," Paige approached and sat beside them.

"Brother, what do you plan to do?" Paige asked.

"We want to confirm whether Night Owl is in the Imperial Palace," Adrian said. "You’ve lived in the Imperial Palace for many years, surely there are some people you trust. See if you can contact them to help find out if there have been any unusual activities in Gulit’s Palace recently..."

"Okay, I will contact Oni and the others to have them look into it," Paige said.

Sienna reminded, "Alert them to investigate quietly without exposing themselves."

"I got it."

Paige wasted no time and took out her phone, dialing Oni’s number. Oni was delighted to receive Paige’s call.

"Princess Consort?"

"Oni, you can call me Paige. I’m not a Princess Consort anymore," Paige disliked that title.

"Are you really not coming back to the Imperial Palace?" Oni asked.

"Yes!"

"Then what about the Sultan?"

"The Sultan has his queen, and I have a boyfriend now. Oni, there’s nothing possible between me and the Sultan."

"But..."

Paige wasn’t calling Oni to discuss Kiya. She had more critical matters to attend to.

"Oni, has there been anything unusual in Gulit’s Palace lately?" Paige probed.

The phone was on speaker, and the three could hear it.

Sheehan crawled tiredly to his mother’s side and lay down. Seeing his mother nearby, he relaxed and fell asleep.

"Nothing unusual, the queen... no, Gulit is very low-key, staying in her palace every day and never going out. She only leaves her palace when summoned by the Imperial Palace..."

Many things, fearing Paige would feel upset, Oni didn’t tell her, like how Gulit was favored by the Dowager Queen.

"Oni, think carefully one more time."

Since Kiya mentioned spotting a trace of Night Owl in Gulit’s palace, it couldn’t be just a figment of his imagination; there must’ve been some clue that Kiya discovered.

"Gulit’s appetite has become enormous, eating a lot. Rumor has it in the palace that Gulit is a colossal eater.

I don’t believe it, even if she were pregnant, she couldn’t eat that much."

Sienna and Adrian exchanged a look, and Sienna said, "If Gulit isn’t a big eater, then someone is eating on her behalf.

The likelihood of someone hiding in Gulit’s palace is quite high."

"Why would Night Owl be associated with Gulit?" This was what Adrian found baffling.

Paige boldly speculated, "Could it be that Night Owl is holding Gulit hostage? Gulit had no other choice but to let Night Owl hide in her palace?"

Sienna replied, "It’s not impossible."

They were merely speculating and weren’t certain.

"Oni, do you know any maids in Gulit’s palace?"

"Yes, a few." Oni had grown up in the palace and had a broad social circle, making gathering information quite effortless.

Paige entrusted this matter to Oni, who readily agreed.

Sienna noticed Paige looking troubled and consoled, "Don’t worry, your brother can handle Night Owl."

"I’m worried my brother won’t agree to Kiya’s demands, and Kiya might join forces with Night Owl against him," Paige voiced her concern.

This was something Adrian and Sienna hadn’t considered. If Kiya joined forces with Night Owl, it would be troubling.

"That can’t be?" Sienna hoped otherwise.

"Let’s hope so."

Paige knew that if Kiya couldn’t achieve his goal, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do.

She and Kiya hadn’t had a grand love; the two of them just came together naturally.

Adrian couldn’t take care of her, so she was fostered in a friend’s home. Paige grew tired of such a life and wanted a home of her own.

At that time, Kiya proposed to her, and she agreed.
