Entangled in the Night: Unable to Escape Him-Chapter 148: Sienna, Your Brother Is Waiting for You to Confess

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Sienna, Your Brother Is Waiting for You to Confess

Prescott Group, President’s Office.

Silas Prescott stood on the balcony smoking, his eyes filled with an irrepressible gloom.

After going through all sorts of methods to get close to Sienna and making her accept him again, a trending topic wiped out all his efforts of these past days.

He couldn’t accept those comments, let alone Sienna.

As a result, Sienna would be even more unwilling to recognize him.

Thinking of this, Silas’s deep black eyes grew increasingly dark.

At that moment, his assistant Owen Paxton knocked and came in.

"President Prescott, the person behind that post was Mrs. Sterling, and she was the one who posted those photos."

Hearing this news, Silas’s expression turned quite ugly.

Five years ago, Claire Channing took those photos. Was her motive simply for the sake of her daughter, Stella Sterling?

Or did she have some unspeakable secret?

As he was puzzled, Chase Hughes walked in hurriedly.

He handed a photo to Silas: "I finally found out, Sienna’s biological mother is a woman named Iris, who looks exactly like the current Claire Channing. I found this family photo under the bed in Sienna’s old home."

The photo was already yellowed, but the images were still clear.

This was taken when Sienna was about one year old. She was like a little princess, dressed in a red outfit, celebrating her birthday.

Holding her was her father, River Paxton, and beside them stood her mother, Iris.

That face was identical to the present-day Claire Channing, even down to the black mole on her brow.

It was impossible for there to be someone so similar in the world.

When Claire Channing married into Jett Sterling’s father’s family, she claimed to be unsullied.

To secure her position as Mrs. Sterling, she wanted to eradicate anyone who knew her background.

That included her biological daughter.

Five years ago, when she saw Sienna with him, she harbored malice and found ways to drive her away.

Claire Channing repeatedly framed the Nash Family to cover up the fact that she had married and had children.

So, the current Claire Channing is Sienna’s mother, Iris.

When Sienna first saw Claire Channing in the hospital, she already knew that she was the mother who abandoned her.

She also knew that the person who defamed her with those photos in the hospital incident was her biological mother.

Being repeatedly harmed by her biological mother, her heart must be in deep sorrow.

If she found out that even the recent online trending incident was also her biological mother’s doing, it would break her heart.

Thinking of this possibility, Silas’s fingers gripping the photo turned cold and white.

His voice was filled with immense pressure: "This time, I will not let Claire Channing go."

Whether for Sienna or for Chloe Nash, he wouldn’t let that woman go.

Chase drank a few sips of water and said, "When you were investigating Claire Channing earlier, you were always obstructed, weren’t you? Do you know who was stopping you?"

Silas furrowed his brows: "Who was it?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Jett Sterling."

Hearing this name, Silas’s heart sank heavily.

Why would Jett Sterling stop him from investigating Claire Channing, and even find excuses to give up on the inquiry himself?

With his deep affection for Chloe Nash, he wouldn’t give up investigating just because Claire Channing was his stepmother.

Unless he already knew Chloe Nash was Sienna.

Thinking of this possibility, a sinister laugh escaped Silas’s throat.

The purpose of Jett Sterling’s actions was clearly to help Chloe Nash hide her identity.

It turned out everyone around Chloe Nash knew she was Sienna.

Whether her parents, her husband, her closest friends, even her ex-boyfriend, Jett Sterling, they all knew her secret.

Only he didn’t know.

His Sienna had returned again and could be sincere with anyone around her, except towards him.

Just a moment ago, he felt sorry for Sienna being repeatedly hurt by her biological mother, and the next moment, he saw how heartless she was towards him.

She could recognize everyone, but not him.

Even though he publicly admitted that Sienna was the love of his life, she wasn’t swayed in the slightest.

If he hadn’t discovered this secret beforehand, Sienna might have never acknowledged him until the very end.

Once Julian Prescott recovered, she would leave here without any hesitation.

Not caring whether he lived or died.

She knew he had been looking for her all along, even thinking about her to the point of desperation, yet she still refused to recognize him.

This is the Sienna he loved for so many years and searched for so long.

This is the Sienna who once said she would love him for a lifetime.

Did her love for him ever have any sincerity, or was he deceived all along?

Thinking of this possibility, a layer of coldness gradually covered Silas’s eyes.

He stared at the photo and said, "Take blood samples from Sienna and Claire Channing for a paternity test."

Chase Hughes was curious, "Are you planning to confront Sienna?"

Silas Prescott laughed a bit eerily, "Is there still any need to hide it? Everyone knows she’s Sienna, except me."

Noticing something off in his expression, Chase Hughes quickly asked, "Aren’t you afraid she’ll escape when she finds out?"

"I’ve been looking for her for five years. Having finally found her, how could I possibly let her leave."

Even if it meant death, he would die together with her.

Two days later, Silas Prescott received the paternity test report.

It confirmed that Claire Channing and Sienna were indeed mother and daughter.

Looking at the result, Silas Prescott let out a light laugh, "Sienna, your brother is waiting for you to come clean."

——

Chloe Nash was in the lab discussing project issues with others when she looked up and saw Silas Prescott standing at the door.

Since the day Silas Prescott confessed to Sienna at the banquet, she hadn’t seen him again.

The man lacked his usual gentleness, appearing somewhat colder.

His deep, bottomless black eyes were fixed on Chloe Nash, making her heart tremble inexplicably.

Yet her expression remained calm.

She nodded at Silas Prescott along with the others, "President Prescott."

Silas Prescott strode into the office with his long legs, his voice low, "Today’s research ends here, let’s wrap it up."

The others, upon hearing this order, hurriedly gathered their things and left.

Chloe Nash also intended to follow them out, but suddenly Silas’s voice reached her ear, "Dr. Nash, stay."

Chloe’s heart tightened. She didn’t know why Silas asked her to stay.

She feigned composure and looked at him, "Does President Prescott have any other instructions?"

Silas Prescott walked to her side, his icy fingertips brushing away the stray hair on Chloe’s forehead.

His voice was husky, "I’ve caught the person spreading rumors about Sienna; she has some connection to Dr. Nash."

Chloe Nash furrowed her brow slightly, "The person connected to me, who is it?"

"Claire Channing."

Upon hearing this name, Chloe Nash’s eyes showed a momentary panic.

Could it be that Silas had discovered she was her mother?

But quickly, she suppressed the panic, "What relation does she have with me?"

Seeing her so composed, Silas Prescott’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"She’s also the one who harmed Uncle and Aunt. Dr. Nash, have you forgotten? I handed the investigation to Jett Sterling, but he hasn’t found any clues. Do you think he’s deliberately delaying because Claire Channing is Mrs. Sterling? Dr. Nash, your ex-boyfriend doesn’t seem as devoted to you."

His tone was so smooth that Chloe Nash couldn’t discern his emotions.

This kind of Silas Prescott was what truly frightened her.

For she knew that beneath tranquility often lay terrifying madness.

Chloe Nash swallowed nervously; capturing Claire Channing might reveal the truth that she was Sienna’s mother.

Eventually, Silas Prescott would have solid evidence proving she was Sienna.

Thinking about being caught by Silas again, Chloe Nash felt a cold sweat on her back.

Her eyelashes trembled a few times.

But her tone remained calm, "What did Claire Channing confess?"

Seeing her pretend to be composed, Silas Prescott’s lips curved slightly, "I’ve detained her; I’ll interrogate her later. Dr. Nash, why don’t you come along and see for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Chloe Nash nervously clenched her fingers, "Why not hand her to the police? Using private means is illegal."

Silas Prescott leaned down, his deep black eyes burning as they fixed on Chloe Nash.

"Giving her to the police, the Sterling Family would pull all kinds of strings to bail her out. She’s disparaged my Sienna so much, I absolutely won’t let her go. Moreover, she’s framed your entire family, I’ll help you get revenge."

Chloe Nash, scared, grabbed Silas Prescott’s arm, "Silas Prescott, don’t break the law for me. For someone like her, it’s not worth it."

Silas Prescott lowered his eyes to Chloe, gripping his sleeve tightly, speaking softly, "Are you worried about me or something else?"

"I just don’t want my issues to make you break the law. If you detain her, the Sterling Family won’t let you off easily either. The feud between families isn’t worth it."

Silas Prescott smiled, holding Chloe Nash’s hand, "Don’t worry, I’m helping the Sterling Family eliminate harm. If Uncle Sterling knew Claire Channing had been deceiving him, he’d be the first to want her dead."

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Chloe Nash to react, and led her by the shoulders to leave.

Chloe’s feet felt as if they were filled with lead; each step felt heavy.

She didn’t know what was going to happen next, nor did she know how much leverage Silas Prescott had over Claire Channing.

She wanted to take out her phone and send a message to Jett Sterling.

[Jett, Claire Channing has been caught by Silas. He’s going to take me for interrogation; I’m worried he’ll uncover the truth. Find a way to come to me.]

Soon, Jett replied, [Don’t be afraid, share your location with me; I’ll come immediately.]

Chloe Nash shared her location with Jett Sterling.

Silas Prescott looked at the content on the phone, his eyes gradually covered with a layer of coldness.

His long fingers tapped a few times on the phone’s screen before tossing the phone aside, starting the car.
