Chapter 1173 - 1113: The Man with a Snake Tattooed on His Thumb

Melly and Sally had taken Ivy Evans back to the Evans family, and returned by after nine. As soon as they got back, they came to see Sienna Johnson.

Sienna Johnson was reading an ancient medical book, while Adrian Desmond lay on a movable bed, sunbathing through the glass window.

Since Adrian fell into a coma, Sienna had been taking care of him diligently.

Sally and Melly felt a heaviness in their hearts when they saw Adrian in his comatose state.

"Madam, Ivy Evans has been sent back to the Evans house," Melly reported.

Without lifting her head, Sienna asked, "The Evans family didn’t say anything, did they?"

Melly had stirred things up; Ivy Evans didn’t plan to disturb the rest of the family, she only secretly called her mother to have her bring clothes and take her home. However, Melly purposely made a commotion, alerting the family, and Ivy could no longer keep it a secret.

"...Old Master Evans found out, and he was very angry. When we left, his face looked extremely unpleasant."

Sienna frowned, "Why was Old Master Evans alarmed?"

Melly hung her head without speaking.

Sienna looked at Melly and understood it was definitely Melly who had intentionally let Old Master Evans know.

"Melly, why would you do this? ...

This kind of situation is an unspeakable harm for a woman, after all." Although Sienna didn’t like Ivy Evans, she still sympathized with her due to their shared identity as women.

"Madam, you better not sympathize with her; she’s not a good person at all. You wouldn’t know how promiscuous Ivy is. She often visits nightclubs and, upon seeing a man she likes, she goes off to sleep with him. ... Once she really went overboard, engaging in group debauchery and was even caught by the police..."

Melly saw that Sienna didn’t know Ivy’s true nature and felt sympathy for Ivy, so she told Sienna all of Ivy’s scandals to make her wary of Ivy.

Sienna was dumbfounded, "How can that be?"

Melly affirmed, "It’s absolutely true. I even have a video; would Madam like to watch it?"

"No need." Sienna was afraid of getting eye infections from watching it, as she was pregnant and had to be mindful of fetal education.

Normally quiet Sally couldn’t help but speak, "Ivy Evans claimed to be raped, but it wasn’t really rape. We checked the bar’s surveillance, and Ivy was chatting and laughing with the man at the bar, actively got into his car, and left with him."

Melly added, "That Ivy Evans is really shameless, claiming to be raped when it was clearly consensual sex.

They even both know a man with a snake tattoo on his thumb; there’s a chance Ivy might have been involved in a threesome with them..."

Melly’s words were too shocking—Sally nudged Melly’s arm, signaling her to stop talking.

Melly glanced at Sally but didn’t heed Sally’s warning and continued, "Oh, right, Ivy Evans is looking for the man with the snake tattoo on his thumb. She might have gotten pregnant by that man..."

A snake tattoo on the thumb...

Sienna asked, "Is it a king cobra?"

Melly was taken aback; was Sienna focusing on the wrong thing?

She wanted Sienna to realize Ivy’s promiscuity and shamelessness, yet Sienna was curious about what kind of snake was tattooed on the man’s thumb?

"Well... not sure," Melly responded.

Sienna looked at the sleeping Adrian, her presence exuding a chilling aura.

Perhaps living together for a long time makes couples alike; Sienna’s cold demeanor made Melly and Sally feel Adrian’s presence.

"Investigate!" Sienna ordered.

Melly and Sally were bewildered; neither understood why Sienna suddenly showed interest in the man with the snake tattoo.

"Madam, given Sixth Master’s condition and your pregnancy, we shouldn’t get involved in Ivy Evans’ matters," Melly advised.

Melly thought Sienna wanted to seek justice for Ivy.

Knowing Melly and Sally’s absolute loyalty as Adrian’s confidants, Sienna didn’t hide the truth from them.

"I’ve interacted with Night Owl; Night Owl has a king cobra tattoo on his thumb."

Melly and Sally’s expressions changed dramatically upon hearing this.

"Madam, are you sure?" Sally asked.

"Absolutely sure!"

Sienna feared snakes. Although Adrian locked her in a snake house back then, forcing her to interact with snakes, she instinctively rejected the slippery creatures.

Therefore, when she glimpsed Night Owl’s king cobra tattoo on his thumb, though only momentarily, it left a lasting impression.

The snake seemed alive and moved along with Night Owl’s motion, stirring an innate fear within Sienna.

"Madam, we’ll get on it right away!" Seeing a glimmer of hope for Adrian’s awakening, they dared not delay a moment.

"Bring Lucas Robertson!" Sienna instructed.

"Yes."

Melly and Sally left, while Sienna pondered the mess of clues over Adrian.

Adrian fell into a coma at the Lantern Festival; he was last seen with Ivy Evans. What exactly did Ivy do to Adrian, causing him to fall into a coma?

Initially, Sienna hadn’t suspected Ivy. But now, after hearing about possible connections between Ivy and Night Owl, her suspicion grew.

Could Night Owl have instructed Ivy?

Looking at the comatose Adrian, Sienna’s brow furrowed tightly, "Adrian, when will you wake up?"

She pressed her face close to Adrian’s, gently rubbing against him.

"Madam!" Lucas Robertson knocked on the door and spoke.

Sienna composed herself, sitting up straight. "Come in!"

Lucas Robertson walked in, noticing Sienna’s solemn expression, knowing she’d have a task for him to handle.

He really didn’t want to work; he just wanted to be home with his wife and kids.

Dominic growing day by day, becoming more playful.

Actually, with Lucas’s wealth, he could live a retired life. But because of Kiki, he had to keep working for Sienna.

With Adrian in a coma, Sienna faced difficulties, emotionally and logically, he couldn’t refuse.

"Madam, what do you need from me?"

Sienna said, "I suspect Ivy Evans has a connection with Night Owl. Investigate whether Ivy has interacted with Night Owl and whether she’s involved in Adrian’s coma?"

Lucas asked in surprise, "Ivy Evans and Night Owl?" Two seemingly unrelated people, how did they cross paths?

"Melly just said Ivy is looking for a man with a snake tattoo on his thumb; coincidentally, Night Owl has a snake tattoo on his thumb. Moreover, Adrian was with Ivy when he fell into a coma. So, I suspect Night Owl instructed Ivy to frame Adrian..."
