The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 661 - 702: The Woman Who Wants to Put Her to Death

Chapter 661: Chapter 702: The Woman Who Wants to Put Her to Death

"Weren’t you just saying that you were hungry earlier? Why aren’t you eating now?" Adrian Desmond never intended to pay any attention to Janice Cramerson. He never wasted his energy on unimportant people.

"I lost my appetite," Sienna Johnson replied grumpily.

Adrian Desmond finally glanced at Janice. "Miss, get lost. You’re disgusting, and you’re affecting my wife’s appetite."

Janice’s face flushed red then deathly pale. The surrounding people stopped eating and stared at her, which only humiliated and enraged her further. "Adrian Desmond, do you know who I am?"

"Get lost!"

"My father is Abraham Cramerson! How dare you speak to me like this? Believe it or not, I’ll have my father deal with you until you can’t survive in Abyanabad anymore!"

Sienna Johnson intervened after taking a sip of water, "Oh, so you’re relying on your father, huh?" Then she turned to Adrian and said, "No worries. If we can’t stay in Abyanabad, we’ll just go back to Sileria City."

Although Janice could not quite decipher what "relying on one’s father" meant, considering their antagonistic relationship, she was convinced it wasn’t a compliment. "You’re the one relying on your father!"

Melanie Carpenter noticed the slight tightening of Adrian’s lips, a clear sign of his displeasure. She said to him, "I’m sorry, Sixth Brother. I’ll take Janice away right now. Please, for my sake, don’t stoop to her level."

Adrian remained silent.

"Sixth Brother, Father regrets his actions. When you have time, could you pay him a visit?"

He still said nothing.

"Sixth Brother, Father really regrets hitting you last time. In fact, he’s always treated you like his own son. Please don’t be angry with him. Come and visit him when you have time... Father and Aunt had such a good relationship, and she passed away too soon. Father always says that you resemble her. He would be very happy if you could visit him regularly."

So, she’s playing the family card, Sienna thought, watching with a faint smile as Melanie Carpenter suppressed her resentment and tried to affect the gentle, virtuous demeanor she once had.

Adrian Desmond frowned slightly and gave a noncommittal, "I understand."

A flicker of joy crossed Melanie’s face. "I’ll go back and tell Father then."

Sienna looked at the inexplicably excited Melanie, wondering what on earth she was going to tell Elliot Carpenter. Adrian hadn’t actually agreed to anything.

"Sixth Brother, I won’t disturb your meal any longer. I’ll leave now." Melanie pulled Janice away, but Janice was reluctant.

"Mhm."

"Melanie, are you just going to let her off the hook like that?" Janice dug her heels in, insisting on championing Melanie’s cause.

Sienna rested her chin on her hand, watching Janice. Just one word for her—idiot! Used as a pawn without even realizing it. If that isn’t stupidity, what is?

Sienna’s gaze shifted to Melanie. She could no longer see the gentle, virtuous woman Melanie once appeared to be.

"Sigh..." Sienna sighed lightly. Noticing her reaction, Adrian furrowed his eyebrows and looked at her.

"You shameless woman! Stealing someone else’s fiancé and still acting so arrogant? Are you bullying Melanie because she has no one to back her up, thinking you can act so fearlessly?"

Sienna smiled at Janice. "...You’re so agitated, I thought I’d stolen your man!"

Janice’s face turned red. "What do you plan to do to my fiancé?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Sienna gave her a meaningful smile. "As you wish!"

"You shameless homewrecker!"

Adrian gave a subtle glance, and a man in black stepped forward. He walked up to Janice and slapped her hard across the face several times. SLAP! SLAP! The sounds were sharp, and Sienna winced, feeling a phantom sting for Janice.

PFFT! Janice spat out a mouthful of blood, a tooth mixed in with it. Clutching her face, which was already swelling grotesquely, she stood there stunned.

"Janice, it’s all my fault. Are you okay?" Melanie asked.

After a moment of shock, Janice snapped back to her senses and began to shriek, "Who was that? Who dared hit me? Do you have any idea who I am? My father is Abraham Cramerson!"

The onlookers, who had been enjoying the drama, quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Janice’s face any longer.

Unable to find the actual assailant, Janice turned on Sabrina Johnson. "Was it you? That man who hit me, was he yours?"

Sienna, completely unabashed, pointed to Adrian. "He’s his bodyguard!"

Janice confronted Adrian directly. "Did you order your subordinate to hit me? Answer me!"

"Let’s go," Adrian said to Sienna.

"Do you think we can just leave now?" Sienna countered.

Janice also had bodyguards, and two of them now stood behind Sienna, poised to strike.

Adrian scanned the two bodyguards behind Sienna and said to his own men, "Take care of these people."

"Yes, Sixth Master!"

Melanie rushed over, clung to Adrian’s arm, and pleaded, "Sixth Brother, it’s all my fault. Please don’t be angry with Janice; she was only trying to stand up for me."

"Oh," Adrian replied coolly. "And I’m just standing up for my wife."

Adrian extended his hand to Sienna. "Let’s go, Mrs. Desmond. The show is over."

Sienna placed her hand in Adrian’s and let him help her up.

"Get her! Hit her hard! Knock her teeth out too!" Janice shrieked, incandescent with humiliation and rage.

Adrian pulled Sienna into his embrace, shielding her. The moment Sienna was within his protective circle, Adrian’s bodyguards moved. The elegant Western restaurant instantly transformed into a brawl scene.

"Stop fighting! All of you, stop fighting..." Melanie cried out perfunctorily, standing safely on the periphery, ensuring the fight wouldn’t reach her.

They stood on the sidelines, watching the spectacle: several men locked in a chaotic tussle, a disheveled woman (Janice), and another woman (Melanie) making a show of superficial concern.

"Won’t this attract the police?" Sienna murmured.

"So what if it does?" Adrian replied.

Sienna glanced at Melanie. "Your little cousin has gotten smarter," she whispered to Adrian. "She’s learned how to turn others’ strength to her advantage... You’d better be careful, Adrian. A desperate woman can be terrifying."

"In this world, the most terrifying woman is none other than Mrs. Desmond."

"But I love you; I could never be cruel to you. Melanie is different... No, wait, her target is me. I’m in far more danger than you are."

"As long as I’m here, who can hurt you?"

"Let’s go." Adrian gently turned Sienna’s head forward as she kept trying to look back. "I’ve discovered Mrs. Desmond is developing quite a taste for watching spectacles."

"It was just too good a show to miss! Melanie, though... I have to admit, she impressed me. Actually learning to use someone else as her weapon."

"Home, or should we find another place to eat?"

"Not home. Let’s go to the Hotel. I still have to sell my bird’s nest tomorrow."

Adrian left with Sienna, leaving the chaotic Western restaurant behind. Melanie watched Sienna’s retreating figure, her eyes filled with venomous resentment, blaming Sienna for all her misfortunes.

If it weren’t for this woman, I would be the one standing next to Adrian today! Since she dared to steal my Adrian, then she can’t blame me for being ruthless!
