Rowan stood on the top floor of Grendale’s tallest building. The stars twinkled in the night sky above him as he enjoyed a bird’s–eye view of the city. He subconsciously stroked the red hair tie around his wrist, and his usually hard face
softened.
His subordinate, Alan Wickman, stood some distance away “Mr Mattel, Ms. Spencer’s surgery was a huge success Per your instructions. I’ve given the family of the cornea donor a huge sum. I’ve also planted someone by Jason Pereira’s side There’s no way he Il find Ms. Spencer
Rowan pulled his sleeve over the hair tie and turned around. “We leave Grendale tomorrow”
Alan was taken aback. He asked, “We don’t need to continue verifying his identity anymore?”
Rowan shot him a menacing look that was filled with ice. He didn’t even need to say a word to make Alan feel daunted.
“Do you know how to answer the old man?”
Alan shuddered in fright and immediately lowered his head. “Yes, sir.”
Since Natalie’s departure, Jason had isolated himself in Avon Villa and attempted to drink away his sorrows. He spent
his days in a drunken haze. That was the only way he could numb himself and try to fantasize that Natalie hadn’t left
him and that his child was still alive.
He was slumped on the floor, and the room reeked of alcohol Mary didn’t even dare to disturb him, afraid that he would
take his anger out on her.
Sienna wasn’t as depressed and desolate as he was. The Spencer family had tried its best to quell the chaos over the
things Benjamin had spread, but nothing had worked.
The Steiner family couldn’t care less about her, and Xavier wanted to divorce her She knew she couldn’t sit around and
wait for disaster to arrive—she had one last hope, and that was Jason.
He loved her desperately–she was sure he would help her, no matter the price he had to pay
And so, she drove to Avon Villa. She barged inside and headed straight to the second floor. As soon as she burst into the
master bedroom, she smelled the alcohol, almost barfing from how overwhelming it was
She frowned and headed deeper inside the bedroom, looking disgusted. Finally, she found Jason in a corner near the
window
His jaw was covered in stubble, and he looked haggard There was a stench about him from not having showered, and he
was as unkempt as a homeless man
If not for the fact that she needed his help, she wouldn’t even spare him another gla

Jason abruptly cast aside the wine bottle he held and looked at her, which started her
“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s scary
The look in his eyes was cold and sharp. It even carried a murderous intent. Sienna instinctively backed away when she
saw it
Jason stared her down, his bloodshot eyes so frosty that they were terrifying. “You’re right—it’s not worth it
tormenting myself over a woman who doesn’t love me
She sighed in relief, thinking that she could relax since he wasn’t in over his head. It seemed she could still use him as
she had in the past.
She smiled gently and slowly approached him. Right before she could lean into his embrace, he grabbed her wrist
tightly. She cried, “Ouch! Jason, you’re hurting me!”
He yanked her close, looking menacing as he snarled, “I’ve chased after you for years, and I cleared every obstacle in
your path. But all that did was make me lose my wife and kill my unborn child. Everything that’s happened so far is
because of you, Sienna.”
It was only then that Sienna realized he hadn’t been talking about Natalie when agreeing with her earlier–he’s been
referring to herself.
She was scared now. Jason had never treated her like this before
She said fearfully, “Calm down, Jason. It’s just a baby–any other woman can give you another child if Natalie could You
He gripped her neck tightly before she could finish, roaring furiously, “Just a baby? That was my flesh and blood
Siennal You have no idea how long I’ve looked forward to that baby being brought into this world‘
“Why did you say those things to Natalie? Why did you have to Launt her she wouldn’t love abandoned me if not for
you, and my child wouldn’t be in a container full of blood right now!
“It’s all your fault! This is all because of you, Sienna
He lost his rationality At that moment, he genuinely wanted to strangle hienoa death
Fortunately, Mary came to check on things after hearing the commotion. She hurried forward to stop lason, not wanting him to make a mistake that would lead to a tragedy.
Sienna scrambled to a corner far away from Jason after barely escaping death After taking a moment to compose herself, she dropped her act and sneered at him mockingly. “You make me laugh, Jason. You’re the one who took Natalie’s corneas back then, and you’re also the one who lied to her!
“You followed me around like a dog that wouldn’t stop wagging its tail! You were a willing participant in this whole thing!”
