Chapter 1213 - 1153: Seducing a Married Woman

The Night Owl also has another identity, which is the cousin from Uncle Gulit’s side. Gulit’s mother was of humble origin and died early, so there’s naturally no way to verify anything about a cousin.

The Night Owl used the identity of an elder cousin of Gulit, roaming freely within the Imperial Palace.

Gui walked in and saw the Night Owl sitting on the throne, wearing a silver mask to conceal his appearance. To the outside world, he claimed that he wore the mask because his face was disfigured and he was afraid of scaring others.

"Master, half of Adrian Desmond’s business has been closed. As for the Desmond Manor, should we set it on fire?"

Gui held a grudge against Adrian Desmond for causing them to lose Death Island, so he also wanted Adrian Desmond to lose his hereditary Desmond Manor.

But the Night Owl did not agree, "Sienna Johnson loves the lotus flowers in Mirror Lake. If you burn the Desmond Manor, wouldn’t you destroy all those flowers?"

Gui: ...

The Night Owl sat there lazily, gazing into the distance, lost in thought. Gui dared not act rashly, waiting for the Night Owl’s command.

After a long pause, the Night Owl asked, "Is there anything else?"

Gui thought for a moment and decided to mention the issue with Victoria Logan, "Victoria Logan has come to Abyanabad, and she’s been looking for you."

"What does she want with me?" The Night Owl looked displeased.

"Victoria Logan is pregnant with your child."

"She didn’t get rid of it?" The Night Owl frowned; he hated children.

"No, she didn’t."

The Night Owl furrowed his handsome brow, unable to understand how Victoria Logan had become like a completely different person. She was rational and perceptive initially, knowing how to gauge the situation, but now she seemed to act without thinking.

Their relationship was brief and transient; does Victoria Logan really think he has fallen for her?

Foolish!

"Ignore her!"

"Yes, Master."

The Night Owl had already gained control of Abyanabad; the next step was to win over Sienna Johnson. As for Victoria Logan, he wasn’t interested. He had been with many women; if he had to be responsible for each one, he couldn’t possibly afford it.

...

One afternoon, Sienna Johnson was in the nursery, playing with Sheehan.

Sheehan was particularly energetic, remaining curious about everything. Sienna Johnson spent most of her time with Sheehan these days.

Her phone suddenly rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

Sienna Johnson immediately thought it was a call from the Night Owl. She answered, and sure enough, it was him.

Finally receiving a call from the Night Owl, Sienna Johnson looked at her son playing with toys beside her and patiently engaged in dialogue with him, trying to figure out what tricks this man was up to.

"... It’s been a long time since I called you. Did you miss me?" The Night Owl’s first words were meant to seduce Sienna Johnson.

"I’ve been waiting for you to call... What have you been up to lately?" Sienna Johnson asked curiously.

"Is it me you miss, or is it the antidote you’re after?"

"What do you think?"

The Night Owl couldn’t see Sienna Johnson’s expressions, but just hearing her voice brought him pleasure. After all these years, she was the only woman who could keep his interest alive.

"Come to Abyanabad, and I’ll give you the antidote," he tempted.

Sienna Johnson had thought long and hard about dealing with the Night Owl. Initially, she had a plan, but she abandoned it after Adrian Desmond’s strong protests.

If Adrian Desmond hadn’t awakened, Sienna Johnson might have risked heading to the Night Owl’s side to take him out, but since Adrian was already awake, she felt that method was too risky.

Now she had the patience to play with the Night Owl slowly.

She believed that in the end, the victory would surely belong to her and Adrian Desmond.

"What if you’re lying to me? If you’re sincere, you’d give me the antidote first."

The Night Owl laughed, "And what if you deceive me? If I give you the antidote, what if you don’t keep your promise?"

"Javier, are you afraid I’ll cheat?" Sienna Johnson laughed.

"Sienna Johnson, Adrian Desmond is already a cripple; come to my side. Whatever he can give you, I can give you too."

The so-called "cripple" stood at the door, eyeing Sienna Johnson like a hawk. She put her index finger to her lips, signaling him to be silent.

"What can you give me?"

"What do you want?"

"I want Adrian Desmond!"

The Night Owl: ...

"Night Owl, at my prenatal check-up, I ran into a woman named Victoria Logan. She said she’s pregnant with your child... It seems only about one month along. I’m curious how a man who professes to love me can still sleep with other women and get them pregnant. How much sincerity can you possibly have for me?"

Was this jealousy? The Night Owl was quite pleased that Sienna Johnson was jealous of his fling with another woman.

"Just satisfying physical needs, just like women have those days every month."

Sienna Johnson directed a sharp gaze at Adrian Desmond’s private part, and he suddenly felt a pang of discomfort. He knew she was on the phone with the Night Owl, but he didn’t know what they talked about that made her gaze murderous.

Damn Night Owl!

Adrian Desmond walked over to Sienna Johnson. She felt the timing was about right, and fearing Adrian couldn’t hold back his anger and expose himself, she hung up the phone without even saying goodbye to the Night Owl.

"The Night Owl?" Adrian Desmond asked.

"Yes, he finally called me."

Adrian Desmond said discontentedly, "You seem to look forward to his call?"

Sienna Johnson cupped his face, "Why are you jealous? I only have you in my heart."

"Drop those plans of yours; I won’t let you risk anything!" Adrian Desmond said with a stern expression.

"Yes, I’ve changed my mind. Now that you’re awake, many things can be slowly planned. Before, I was too hasty."

"You’re not lying to me?"

"If I’m lying, I’m a little dog!" Sienna Johnson laughed.

"You’re the little dog, always biting me."

Sienna Johnson asked again, "Did you track down the Night Owl’s position earlier?" She had idly chatted with him for quite some time to discover his location.

"Some methods work once but not a second time."

Sheehan climbed over, treating Adrian Desmond like a big tree, eagerly climbing onto him. Sheehan was active and not one to stay still.

"What a pity."

"If you want to be a good hunter, the first thing you need to learn is patience.

When I was hunting in the forests of Soilliers, to catch a black bear, I lay in ambush in the forest for a week in minus forty degrees Celsius," Adrian Desmond said with some pride, "and eventually, I caught that black bear."

Adrian Desmond’s former life was thrilling beyond imagination for Sienna Johnson.

"Was hunting dangerous?"

"What dangers could there be?"

"Adrian Desmond, you’re now a man with a wife and children. Don’t take risks lightly. Before you do anything, think of me and the kids; you have to live well for all of us."
