Chapter 1186 - 1126: To Root Out Evil, One Must Pull Up the Roots

After handing temporary control of Eastminster Group’s business to Vivian Abbey, Sienna Johnson did not idle. After Adrian Desmond fell into a coma, his businesses also fell on Sienna’s shoulders.

It was only then that Sienna realized Adrian had entrusted her with all his profitable and legal businesses; legally, she was the true boss.

"Ivan is Sixth Master’s competitor. Ivan, having heard about Sixth Master’s coma, took the opportunity to steal Sixth Master’s goods," Brandon Potter reported to Sienna Johnson.

The "goods" were a batch of arms.

As a law-abiding good citizen, trading arms is illegal in Orienta, and Sienna Johnson really didn’t know how to handle such a matter.

Sienna Johnson asked, "So what should we do? Steal them back?"

Brandon Potter said, "I hope Madam can negotiate with Ivan to resolve this peacefully."

"Me?" Sienna Johnson asked.

"Yes, Madam."

"Why me? Isn’t Lance responsible for the arms business?" Sienna Johnson asked, puzzled.

Adrian was quite "lazy," leaving business to his subordinates and only checking accounts at the end of the year or stepping in if subordinates couldn’t handle it.

"Not high enough level!"

"What do you mean?"

Brandon Potter explained simply, "When interacting between two countries, if a President visits, it must be received by the President-level of the other country; otherwise, it’s disrespectful to the customer. Ivan is such a high level person, Lance going to deal with him isn’t high enough."

"I understand." Sienna Johnson said, "You arrange a time for me to go to Abyanabad."

"Ivan said he would come to Orienta."

"What is he coming to Orienta for?"

Ivan, an arms dealer, and Sienna Johnson had no desire for him to come to Orienta, feeling like inviting a wolf into the house.

Brandon Potter’s expression stiffened slightly and he didn’t dare to say that Ivan, upon seeing Sienna Johnson’s beauty, thought of her as a stunning beauty and believed Orienta produced beautiful women, so he wanted to go there to find a wife.

"Ivan thinks Orienta has many beautiful women, and wants to marry a few."

"A few?" Sienna Johnson most disliked Abyanabad’s polygamy system.

"Didn’t you tell him that Orienta has a monogamous system?"

Brandon Potter advised, "Madam, we are just talking business. As for Ivan’s private matters, let’s not interfere. If he wants to come to Orienta to find a wife, let him."

Sienna Johnson thought about it, realizing it wasn’t in her power to stop it, so she didn’t say more.

"Is there anything else?"

"No more."

"The business in Abyanabad, I might not be able to manage anymore, I’ll need you to take good care of it." Sienna Johnson entrusted Adrian’s business to Brandon Potter.

"Madam, you’re being too kind."

"It’s my duty." There was an unending sorrow in Sienna Johnson’s eyes, as she gently caressed her growing belly.

Brandon Potter asked, "Can I go see Sixth Master?"

"Of course, you can."

Sienna Johnson rose, leading Brandon Potter to see Adrian Desmond. When the two walked in, a nurse was giving Adrian a full-body massage to prevent muscle atrophy.

"Sixth Master..." Brandon Potter choked as he walked to Adrian’s side.

Adrian looked like he was sleeping, eyes tightly shut, and Brandon Potter wished to kill Night Owl for revenge.

Sienna Johnson gestured for the nurse to leave temporarily.

Sienna also walked to Adrian’s side, took his hand, and softly said, "Adrian, Alyssa came to see you."

"..."

"A man named Ivan stole your goods. He must have seen you comatose, so he dares to bully me. You need to wake up soon and teach that Ivan a lesson for me."

"Mommy..." Curly came home from school, and the first thing he did was visit his father. Seeing Alyssa in the room, he politely said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Curly, school is over?" Alyssa smiled.

"Mm."

"Everything okay at school today?" Sienna’s face showed a smile.

"Same old, same old. The teacher assigned a ton of homework, there’s a test tomorrow, and if I don’t do well, my homework will double... Mommy, aren’t I just a kindergarten kid? Why is it so tough?"

Curly was now in preschool, preparing for Primary School, so his studies had become quite busy.

"Studying is always tough."

Curly knew his mother wouldn’t comfort him, so he buried himself by Adrian’s ear and started murmuring.

"Daddy, I’m so pitiful, the teacher assigned so much homework today, my hands are about to break... Daddy, why aren’t you waking up?

You’re even lazier than I am, sleeping for so long, even Curly doesn’t laze around anymore."

Even though Adrian was in a coma, Sienna and Curly talked to him every day as if he weren’t comatose, hoping for a miracle for Adrian.

—Adrian, you need to wake up soon. I can hardly hold on.

...

In the wellness center, Ivy Evans’s hair was completely white, her skin wrinkled, and covered with age spots, although only in her twenties, she looked like an elderly woman in her eighties.

"Ivy, how did you end up like this? Oh, oh..." Madison Jones looked at her daughter’s tragic state, crying uncontrollably.

Ivy Evans just wanted to die, "Mom, kill me, I don’t want to live anymore."

"Child, I will find the best doctor to heal you. You’ll get better, you will be okay."

But what’s the point? With this ghostly appearance, living was still painful.

"Mom, you must avenge me."

"Avenge?"

"Yes, Sienna Johnson caused this to me." Ivy poured all her resentment onto Sienna Johnson.

The man who drugged her must have been one of Sienna’s people.

Sienna Johnson, how ruthless of her to treat me like this. I was merely misled and made a mistake. More than anyone, I didn’t want Adrian to be comatose.

"Sienna Johnson, why did she do this?" Madison hadn’t expected her daughter to turn out this way, and that it was Sienna responsible.

Ivy then told her mother about Adrian’s coma and Sabrina Conner’s drugging incident.

"Sienna—Johnson!" Madison Jones gritted her teeth, saying Sienna’s name. If Sienna were in front of her, she would probably want to take a bite out of her to release her pent-up anger.

...

One day, a friend from the Tax Bureau called Sienna Johnson, informing her she’d offended someone above, and they were planning to make trouble for her.

Sienna investigated and found it was related to Madison’s family.

Sienna immediately called over Sabrina Conner and asked about Ivy Evans’s matter.

"Did you reveal your identity when dealing with Ivy Evans?" Sienna Johnson asked.

Sabrina seeing Sienna’s solemn expression, confessed everything to Sienna, "She asked why I did that to her, I told her it was because she caused Sixth Master to fall into a coma."

Wasn’t this essentially telling Ivy that Sabrina was acting on Sienna’s orders?
