The Villain's Redemption-Chapter 340 - I Liked You

Chapter 340 - I Liked You

"What you did back then was stupid!"

Her serene and beautiful living room wasn't enough to dampen Grant's anger.

"That man is dangerous!" he added, fist clenched as he glared towards her way. "He is crazy! Have you heard the day he proclaimed that he was a hero? He is smart but delusional for crying out loud! Why the hell did you go there? You even went there without bodyguards! You-"

Sienna, on the other hand, was just calmly staring at her younger brother. "How did you know I was there?" She avoided his question.

"Why are you asking irrelevant questions?"

"Grant? How?" A tinge of warning accompanied her voice. Seeing that he turned silent, Sienna walked towards her bar and grabbed a bottle of wine. "Answer me." She poured some whiskey for herself.

The conversation earlier was actually easier than she had anticipated. Of course, she knew it was because of Grant. That man and Grant had history and that might be the only reason why she was able to threaten that man.

Earlier, John or whatever his name was started arguing with Grant. It was something about some hacking and some money that he lost because Grant intervened. Grant said it was only because he sent a corporate spy and endangered his sister's life. Of course, Sienna found this a little comical.

First and foremost, that man— the spy— wasn't able to get close to her. However, Grant was acting like that man was out there to kill Sienna. John insisted it was only because of Scarlette— he was so sure Scarlette was doing it for a cause. Of course, this changed when he saw the evidence that Sienna have against Scarlette.

While the man didn't apologize to Sienna, he promised not to get close to Rouse Tech again.

And that was the conclusion of her adventurous night.

Well, time for the real deal.

"You already figured out that identity of the spy and you didn't tell me," Sienna said after drinking her whiskey. "Are you going to tell me why?" Curiosity shoot inside her as she continued watching Grant.

There was something different about him. Yet, she couldn't tell what it was. She wondered if this was because she was staring at him from the perspective of someone that is not from this world.

Again, Grant didn't answer. He looked irritated, angry. His jaws clenched, lips pursed into a straight line. "You set me up with Amanda," he declared. "Why?"

"She suits you."

"As a sister!"

Well… well…

"She is a woman, Grant. She suits you. She is smart, beautiful, and sassy. She's funny and hardworking. You two would look good together!"

"And I had known her for less than a month!"

Oh well, Sienna could only blame Scarlette. The plot changes a lot because of that woman's greedy nature.

While she hated it, she couldn't do anything about it either. She couldn't just kidnap them and drug them… right?

Right?

Grant sat on one of the leather couches, his posture showed how exhausted he was. The yellowish lighting from the lamp seemed to make him look taller.

"Did you just put a tracker on me?" Sienna finally asked the thing that had been bothering her since Grant showed up in that bar. "Did you?"

"Grant?" she walked towards him in disbelief. "Did you actually put a tracker on me?"

"You don't understand."

"I don't understand what?" This man was showing stalkerish nature towards his sister. "Tell me!" she hissed.

"I just wanted to keep you safe."

"…"

"I didn't mean to …"

"Remove it."

"No."

"Why the hell not?" she asked. This man… was he really in love with her older sister? Was Jane right all along?

"I don't want to."

"Grant…"

He dragged his hand towards his hair. "I don't want to."

"When did you put it…"

"Months ago."

"So you have been monitoring my location… since months ago? Are you crazy? What are you doing? I have guards around me, I have Jane. I knew martial arts! I am safe!" She immediately started thinking about how to fix this. Surely, this was just a glitch, right? Again, she called out the robot's name and as expected, it was silent.

Not even a small squeak.

This only made her more irritated.

"You are acting like a mad man. I am your sister. You can't just do this to me! You— "

"No, you're not."

This time, Grant lifted his head and met her eyes.

"Excuse me?"

"You are not my sister." He declared boldly. "Not even a relative."

"Grant…"

"But you already know this, right? You had our DNA tested. We are not brothers and sisters."

"Grant, what the hell are you talking about?"

Her instincts told her to run away from this situation. Honestly, she didn't want a confrontation. At least not right now.

"Can you stop lying to me?" Grant suddenly got up. He towered in front of her. "I knew it. I heard them talk about it. You are brilliant in business. They wanted to use you until I mature and take over the company! You are not my sister and you know it."

"Grant…"

She took a step back, highly aware of the agitation from his eyes.

His chest rose and fell as he stared at her. From this angle, he looked like a predator, an angry one. Someone that wanted to eat his prey. "I like you."

"…"

"I always liked you."

"…"

"But I am not that stupid. Sorry for interrupting your night. I am leaving now."

Sienna just stood in the middle of the living room until Grant left. Then a loud sigh escaped her lips. She wondered why Scarlette wasn't able to seduce the male lead after all the years that they spent together as classmates and friends. It turns out, Grant is already in love with someone else.

And that someone else just happened to be here.

"Now… Robot… how the hell do I fix this?"

....

Stay safe and healthy,
