Chapter 845: Bearing the Consequences

As expected, Sienna turned around and left without looking back,completely ignoring whatever her secretary had to say.

With no other options, the secretary reluctantly dialed Mario's numberand followed Sienna. Once Mario answered, the secretary quicklysummarized the situation and informed him that Sienna was leaving.Mario immediately responded, "Let her answer the call.”

The secretary held out the phone towards Sienna, but she refused totake it.

Nervously, the secretary relayed the current situation to Mario. Mariosimply said, "Put it on speaker.”

The secretary immediately complied.

In the next moment, Mario's voice came through the phone.

His deep voice resonated, "Come back to the ward right now, Sienna. IfI don't see you within half an hour, I won't hesitate to do what we didn'tdo last night.”

Sienna came to a sudden halt, snatched the phone from the secretary'shand, and her face was filled with a cold and icy indifference. Shecoldly retorted, "Mario, what else can you do besides threatening me?Threats seem to be the only means you have. Aren't you afraid thateveryone will discover what you are thinking about your adopted sister?It was you who shut me out from the beginning, you who abandonedme, subjected me to ridicule from everyone, and caused the currentsituation. You're the one who made me give up, and now you have theaudacity to act like this? How shameless you are!"

Sienna's words made the secretary's face freeze. It seemed like shewas the only person in the world who could treat Mario like this.

The secretary kept his head down, trying to maintain an invisiblepresence. If Mario found out that he had also heard those words, wouldhe be silenced in some way?

Not only was the secretary incredulous, but Mario on the other end ofthe phone was also shocked. He squinted his eyes, sitting on the edgeof the hospital bed. The wound on his forehead had lost the effect ofthe anesthesia, and his displeased emotions caused a throbbing pain.His face turned extremely dark, as if it had been covered with a thicklayer of broken ice. It took him several seconds to regain hiscomposure. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Consider meshameless. If you really want everyone to know, let King Group make apublic statement about our relationship. Come back first, and then wecan talk. Don't take my mother's words to heart, okay?"

Mario completely ignored what Sienna had just said. All he wanted nowwas for her to return to the ward.

But of course, Sienna refused.

Sienna said, "I'm no longer a member of the Kings, so why should I goback? Besides, your injury is a consequence of your own actions. Idon't want to come back and attend to you, Mario. I'm truly fed up withyou. I have no desire to stay in the same room with you."

Mario responded, "So you're determined not to come back? Do youreally think you can easily leave Flento? Or do you believe Ayan andCamille can help you here in Flento? But have you ever considered thateven if Ayan is capable, he can't do whatever he wants here!"

Sienna chuckled lightly, her voice filled with coldness. "Why do youalways think I have to rely on someone else in your mind? Do youbelieve that without relying on you or the King family, I am nothing?You're always so confident, thinking that even if you treat me likegarbage and discard me, I will still return to you without hesitation whenyou need me and don't even care about how you abandoned me.Mario, why are you always so self-assured?"

Her words carried a mocking tone, causing Mario, who was listening onthe other end of the phone, to pause slightly. The expression on hisface had already stiffened to the extreme.

Images of her face and past memories kept flashing in his mind.

Did he choose to abandon Sienna because he was overconfident?

His expression became dense and gloomy. However, at that time, hehad made it clear to her that everything was temporary. Once he firmlyestablished himself as the CEO of King Group, the only one who couldstay by his side would forever be her only.

Why couldn't she just wait?

But Mario couldn't ask that question. He felt as though a stone waslodged in his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Sienna's voice echoed in his ears once again.

In a cold and detached tone, she said, "If you threaten and harm thepeople around me because of our relationship, then go ahead. But Iwon't compromise anymore. Do whatever you want, I won'tcompromise anymore."

Her determination was clear. Without waiting for Mario's response, sheabruptly ended the call.

Sienna handed the phone back to the secretary, her voice as cold asice. "Don't follow me anymore. I've made it clear to Mario. You can goback to the hospital now."

Sienna turned and left, while the secretary remained rooted to the spot,without any response for quite some time.

Sienna left the hospital and took a taxi back to her apartment. As sheopened the door and entered, she noticed bloodstains on the floor inthe foyer. There was a faint scent of blood in the air.

She stared at the floor, and images from the previous night flashed inher mind.

Mario had wanted to take advantage of her in a moment of emotionalturmoil. But when he approached her and his warm breath brushedagainst her skin, her entire being reacted with intense emotions.However, the strength of a woman was no match for that of a powerfulman. She keenly felt her body freeze and a sense of helplessnesswashed over her when Mario's cold lips touched her neck.

She didn't want something irreversible to happen. In that moment, allshe could think about was Rex. Because Rex would never force her orthreaten her. Even though his intimacy with her was sometimesdominating, it would never result in a situation like this where she wouldhate him but Mario still persist.

Compared to that, she would rather Mario kill her.

At that moment, she was grateful that she had reached out andtouched the table lamp she had randomly placed on the shoe cabinet. Itwas originally intended for her bedside table, but it stopped workingand she planned to have it repaired. It seemed like a stroke of luck fromfate.

Even now, Sienna couldn't believe what she would do if such a thingreally happened.

But the only thing she could foresee was that she and Rex would neverhave a chance again in this lifetime.

She clenched her lips tightly and stood at the entrance for a whilebefore finally taking a step forward.

She had said those things to Mario just now, and she didn't know whathe would do next, nor did she care to speculate.

She would face whatever came her way when the time came.

Right now, all she wanted was to take a shower and get a good sleep.Before going to sleep, she sent a voice message to Camille, assuringher that everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about.Then she put her phone on silent mode and went to sleep.

After receiving the message, Camille felt slightly relieved. However,neither she nor Ayan had the mood to go out and have fun, so theysimply stayed in the hotel.

Ayan had been busy with work, and he was leaving for Dane Citytomorrow. Taking advantage of the available time, he decided to holdthe weekly meeting of Simpson Group earlier.

The meeting lasted for over an hour, and after it ended, Ayan receiveda call from Kian.

On the phone, Kian said, "Mr. Simpson, everything is going smoothly. Ican fly directly to Dane City tonight.”

Ayan responded with an "Hmm" and asked casually, "Have you set atime for the situation to reverse?"

“Yes, around 8 p. m. tonight. I'll leave for the airport after the situationhas fully developed. So, you don't need to worry," Kian replied in a lowvoice. He had just finished watching a video sent by his subordinate,Austin. As the situation seemed temporarily under control and the crisisat Norman Group appeared to be resolving, Austin was secretly takingaction to shift all the blame onto Mr. Davalos and Mr. Moya. His focuswas solely on this matter, and he had no spare thoughts to deeplycontemplate the current situation.

He told it in details to Ayan, who responded indifferently, "That's theconsequence he should bear.”

Camille overheard their conversation and curiously approached Ayan,asking, "Who are you talking about?"
