Chapter 1080 Wounded
Sienna pursed her lips and said calmly, "Mario is coming to HanceCity."
"What?" Camille was stunned, her eyes filled with shock. "When is hecoming? How do you know?"
Sienna replied, "I overheard Rex on the phone. I had just come out ofthe shower last night, and he probably didn't expect me to be quickerthan usual. So he was on the bedroom balcony talking to his secretary.He likely told the secretary to keep an eye on Mario and ensure hedoesn't have any contact with me once he arrives in Hance City."Sienna finished speaking with a somewhat subdued expression andasked with concern, "Do you think Rex's actions indicate that hedoesn't entirely trust that I have moved on from Mario?"
Camille looked at her and calmly stated, “I don't think it's that hedoesn't trust you. It's more about not trusting Mario. After all, Rexknows Mario's feelings for you, and our marriage happened undercircumstances that Mario was unaware of. In such a situation, Rex isunderstandably concerned. If it was merely a business partnershipbetween two companies, he might not be worried at all. But when itcomes to matters of the heart, I believe Rex isn't entirely withoutapprehension.”
Sienna remained silent, her expression complex. Camille lowered hervoice and said, "We really seem to have a lot of complications, don'twe?"
Sienna offered a wry smile and agreed, "Yes, it's incredibly challenging.I don't think Mario will do anything because I'm already married. Even ifhe has some feelings for me, it shouldn't be to that extent, right? He'sprimarily motivated by self-interest, so why would he want to provokeRex or the Ward family?"
Mario was a pragmatist, and if there wasn't something to gain, theymight have already been together. Sienna had confessed her feelingsto him and received a cold, indifferent response. It was because thecircumstances at the time weren't conducive, as Mario had stated.This was what mattered most to Sienna; she desired someone whowould choose her wholeheartedly, not someone who weighed pros andcons. She wanted unwavering commitment, not hesitation.
A man driven by self-interest wouldn't genuinely care about a woman,in her opinion. So, Sienna had her doubts.
She gently bit her lip and looked at Camille, then asked again, "Do youthink my perspective is correct?"
Camille shook her head lightly, saying, “I don't think it's like that. Eventhough you've known Mario for so many years, I don't believe you trulyunderstand this person. If you did, you wouldn't have taken the risk toconfess to him back then, right? You don't know this man, so you haveno idea what his next move might be. What if he's not satisfied withlosing you and wants to make an effort? Or perhaps, he doesn't wantyou to live comfortably because he's not content?
Camille's words were somewhat harsh, but it was this brutal honestythat made them true.
Sienna fell into brief silence, her expression growing more serious. Sheasked quietly, "Rex hasn't told me anything yet. Do you think he plansto observe me for a while?"
"He's a man. Would he actively tell you that Mario is coming to HanceCity? If he had a choice, I guess he hopes you don't know.”
"But we're a married couple!"
"Perhaps men also have concerns. How about I ask Ayan to sound outhis thoughts?"
"No need, I think Ayan is aware too, after all, he and Rex are on thesame team." Sienna couldn't help but comment.
Camille laughed and said, "With your words, I don't know how to facethose two anymore.”
Sienna also chuckled, but her worries and uncertainties were stillevident.
Camille spoke, "Don't overthink it. If he's coming, let's just face it head-on. It's not like we're dealing with a natural disaster or a wild beast. Ifhe's scared, he won't come, right?"
“In this day and age, he won't just kidnap her, so there's no need toworry. Right?"
“Yeah, I'm with you."
After their discussion, they finished their meal, and about an hour later,Camille and Sienna paid the bill, left the restaurant, and began walkingin the direction of the company, hand in hand. They had no reason tosuspect anything. Just after leaving the restaurant and not far from theplace, two women suddenly rushed out at them. They were wearingmasks and carrying water spray bottles, which they immediatelydirected at Camille.
“You ungrateful child, I'll educate you for your parents!"
"It's disgusting how you forget about your parents when you have aman. Do you need to be this repulsive?"
"Disgusting!"
"Go to hell!"
Camille and Sienna were completely caught off guard and took a fewseconds to react. When they did, their faces, along with their hair andclothes, were soaked by the two women with water spray bottles.Camille and Sienna instinctively raised their hands to shield their faces.Camille asked coldly, "Who are you people? What are you doing?"The two women didn't respond but continued to laugh manically whilespraying them with water.
Sienna tried to approach them, but one of the women directed thespray at her face, making it impossible for her to get closer.
The women acted like they had gone insane, constantly hurling insults,and the onlookers didn't intervene. Instead, they just watched andsome even laughed, seemingly delighted by the spectacle.
After all, life had been too dull, and they were finally witnessingsomething exciting.
Ayan had actually arranged bodyguards to follow Camille, but becauseshe and Sienna were walking while the guards were in a car, they hadsome distance between them. The guards, not understanding thesituation, were debating whether to approach when a man stepped in tostop the two women's frenzy. He immediately had his secretary call thepolice to control the situation.
People around began to disperse when they saw the man intervening,and the bodyguards accompanying Camille also realized thatsomething was wrong and rushed forward. But before they arrived, theman had already inquired, "Are you alright?"
The man extended his hand, offering tissues to Camille and Sienna,who took them and quickly wiped themselves. Camille also thankedhim, saying, "Thank you, we're okay."
The man gazed at Camille and said, "Miss Armstrong, don't youremember me?"
Hearing his voice, Camille finally looked at him, blinked her eyes. Herhair was wet, and she appeared somewhat disheveled, yet shepossessed a unique beauty. She asked in disbelief, "Mr. Bailey?"Upon hearing Camille's voice, Jordan finally revealed a gentle smile,but there was concern in his eyes. He said, "Yes, it's me. Are you okay?Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Camille immediately shook her head and said, "No injuries, thanks toMr. Bailey. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid...”
"Mrs. Simpson!" Two bodyguards caught up and were stunned whenthey saw the scene. In their minds, they had already imaginedthemselves being scolded to death by Ayan. They spoke with shock,"Mrs. Simpson, what happened?"
Camille calmly explained, "They probably tracked us after seeing newsonline. It was Mr. Bailey's timely appearance that prevented anunfortunate outcome.”
The bodyguards immediately thanked Jordan. Another bodyguardfetched towels from the car and handed them to Camille and Sienna.Then, he received the two women from Jordan's secretary.
Camille expressed her gratitude to Jordan again, saying, "Mr. Bailey, Ireally appreciate your help today."
Jordan just smiled warmly and said, "Miss Armstrong, you're too kind. Itwas a small effort on my part, and even if I didn't know it was you, Icouldn't stand by when witnessing such a situation. Moreover, you'vedone me a favor before.”
