My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 867: No Need

Chapter 867: No Need

Mario's deep gaze revealed a clear coldness as he stared fixedly at hismother, showing no sign of backing down.

Especially the indifference and chill on his face even made Mrs. Kingshudder.

She had always known that Mario had his own opinions and plans, soshe didn't dare to do something too openly, so as not to cause anyunpleasantness between them, and she definitely didn't want theirrelationship to become too strained.

But now, Mario's words made it impossible for her to control heremotions. Mr. King passed away early, and she faced the rumors andpressure from the King family alone until now, all for Mario. Mario hadnever made her worry about anything, but now he treated his mother,who he had always shown great respect, like this just for Sienna.

Mrs. King couldn't bear and accept it.

She looked at Mario and asked, "Is she really that important to you?Mario, don't you know who she really is? She was adopted by me, yournominal sister. Do you think the outside world will support you? Will therest of the King family support you? Your actions will bring endlesstrouble upon yourself, and this..."

"Enough," Mario coldly interrupted, his expression extremely grim. Hefixed his gaze on Mrs. King and said, "I will handle this matter myself.You should rest since you're not feeling well."

"Mario!"

Mrs. King wanted to make a final plea, but Mario simply didn't listen.The secretary gestured for her to leave, but Mrs. King refused to acceptit and continued to question Mario, "Mario, don't you consider theconsequences of your actions? Are you willing to give up everythingyou've worked so hard for because of a woman?"

“There is absolutely no conflict, so you don't need to worry. The Kingfamily won't take anything away from me, and no one has the ability orcourage to do so. You can rest assured. If you're trying to stop me fromkeeping Sienna in the King family because you're afraid of the KingGroup falling into the hands of others, then there's no need. I'll handleeverything."

Mario's decisions have always been like this; once he's made up hismind, no one can change it.

So no matter what Mrs. King said, he remained unshaken.

Until Mrs. King asked, "Aren't you concerned about yourself or evenher? She's just a young girl. If you burden her with so much publicopinion, how do you think she'll be able to show up in front of others inthe future? Does she not want anything? Not even the most basicfreedom and social circle? Mario, are you really helping her or harmingher?"

Mario didn't respond; his face was extremely gloomy.

Mrs. King's words kept echoing in his ears, but in the end, he didn't sayanything more.

The secretary escorted Mrs. King out, leaving the untouched food shebrought here on the coffee table. Mario sat silently on the sofa,unmoving.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Mario maintained his positionwithout any reaction.

After the secretary took Mrs. King away from the hospital, she couldn'thelp but ask, “Is he still unwilling to give up on Sienna?"

The secretary was Mario's man, naturally, he wouldn't gossip aboutanything related to Mario. He only spoke softly, “I'm sorry, Mrs. King, Idon't know."

Mrs. King naturally didn't believe the secretary's words. After all, he wasMario's man; how could he not know anything?

She looked at her niece beside her, and she immediately understood,wearing a sweet smile on her face and speaking in a pleasing tone,“You've worked for my cousin for many years, right? You've been by hisside since before he officially took over King Group. You should alsowant what's best for him, right?"

The secretary looked at Mrs. King with a troubled expression, notknowing how to respond.

After all, the reason he had been able to stay by Mario for so manyyears was the most important thing: keeping his mouth shut andunderstanding the importance of right and wrong in his actions.

If he were to break this principle, there would be no reason for him tocontinue staying by Mario's side.

He remained silent, carefully considering his words before speakingsoftly, "Mrs. King, I truly don't know. I'm only responsible for Mr. King'swork-related matters. As for Mr. King's personal affairs, I have no rightto interfere or inquire.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. King's face immediately darkened.

Her cousin chimed in, "My aunt is his mother, and now she's having adisagreement with him, but they're still family. We just hope you won'tstand on the wrong side. If you want to continue staying at King Groupand by his side, you should know what you need to do, right?"

The secretary nodded, but whether he would act accordingly wasuncertain.

After leaving the hospital, Mrs. King and her niece got into the carSeeing Mrs. King's unsightly expression, her niece tentatively asked,"Aunt, what should we do now? We can't just stand by and watchSienna hurt Mario, can we?"

Mrs. King didn't answer the question directly, saying instead, "Let's gohome first."

"Aunt..."

"We'll talk about it at home."

Then Mrs. King fell silent, her expression consistently gloomy.

After returning to the King family's residence, Mrs. King went straight toher bedroom. Soon, Jenna came in with milk and knocked on the door.Jenna was Mrs. King's childhood friend and had always been the mostloyal person to her in the entire King family.

Seeing Mrs. King looking troubled, Jenna placed the milk on the tablein front of her and asked softly, "What's wrong, Mrs. King? Are you stillupset about Sienna?"

Mrs. King sighed silently and glanced at Jenna before saying, "There'snothing to be upset about. Since I've already decided to let her leavethe King family, there's nothing to be upset about.”

"Are you really willing to let her go?"

"What is there to be unwilling about?"

“If it weren't for Mario, would you be willing to let her go?"

Jenna asked softly, but Mrs. King didn't respond to this question.

She remained silent for a long time before whispering, “I know thatMario has always been the one pursuing her, but I have no choice. Imust replace a suitable wife for him, someone who can help himstrengthen the King Group's position. Only then will the others in theKing family completely give up their thoughts. Otherwise, if things go onlike this, Sienna will become someone used as a threat to Mario by therest of the King family. I won't allow that to happen.”

Seeing her emotions getting stirred up again, Jenna quickly reachedout and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "Mrs. King, please eatsomething. Mario will understand your arrangements."

Mrs. King didn't speak and had no appetite for food.

She sat like this for a long while before saying, "Give her a call andtake something to her on my behalf."

"Alright."

Jenna immediately complied and called Sienna, who had just wokenup.

Having slept late last night, she couldn't get up in the morning. Herwhole body felt as if it would fall apart, and even breathing felt like astrenuous task. However, the man who had worked the whole nightwas full of energy.

Was life really so unfair?

It was a bit too heartbreaking.

Sienna felt angrier the more she thought about it. She didn't even wantto look at Rex more than necessary. Turning around, she prepared tosit up and have some water when her phone rang.

She recognized Jenna's number and had it saved as a contact.

She frowned slightly and said to Rex, "I have to take this call. Can Mr.Ward give me some private space?"

Rex didn't inquire further and said, "I've ordered breakfast. Come out toeat after the call, okay?"

"Sure."

Sienna readily agreed, and Rex left the bedroom, closing the doorbehind him.

She took a deep breath and answered the call, "Hello, Jenna?"

Jenna spoke very politely, "Yes, it's me. Are you busy, Sienna?"

"Not at all. I just woke up. Is there something you need?"

"Nothing important. Mrs. King asked me to bring something for you.Should I go directly to your apartment, or do you want to meetsomewhere?"

Sienna furrowed her brow and asked in a low voice, "Jenna, what doesMom want to give me?"
