Chapter 28 Why Not Enjoy It
Sienna was not yet clear about Donald’s purpose in approaching her. Even as allies, they had to
tread carefully at every step
“I’m fine.” Sienna let out all her displeasure and returned to her normal state. “I can handle this
small matter”
There would be many more obstacles to face in the future, but she would not stop here..
The path through Stanley’s old friend had proven unfruitful, making Sienna see the truth more
clearly.
In the past, the Mckinney family was wealthy and influential Stanley was a prominent figure in the city, and people sought to curry favor with them, and the elites were willing to associate with them.
Now, Stanley was framed and jailed, and Adrian relentlessly pressed down on him, seemingly intent on driving him to death. Sienna was left with no choice but to worry.
Sienna could not turn back to beg Adrian, as it had been proven that no matter how much she pleaded, no matter how much she compromised and swallowed her pride, Adrian would not change
his mind
Adrian was determined to carry on his plans, trampling her into the mud, and showing no mercy to
Stanley
Sienna had tasted Adrian’s ruthlessness and cruelty.
So, instead of putting down her pride to seek some unrealistic possibilities, it was better to place. her hopes on herself.
“Alright, don’t frown.” Donald smiled at Sienna and gently pressed her furrowed brows. “You’ll need a lot of skincare products to suppress those wrinkles.”
“It’s time for the ball. Since we’re here, let’s enjoy this moment.”
Sienna was initially not in the mood, but after hearing, Donald’s words, she suddenly realized the
truth.
Indeed, why should she hide and be afraid of being seen by Adrian or others?
The more timid she was, the more rampant they would become. It was better to face everything with a straight back, showing them how wonderful she could live.
“Alright.” Sienna nodded in agreement and placed her hand in Donald’s palm. “Why not enjoy it?”
Donald led Sienna slowly to the dance floor, right in the center of everyone’s attention.
As the melodious music began, he held Sienna’s waist and danced gracefully.

Even if they were not in the center, they would still be the focus of everyone’s attention.
Donald and Sienna were a handsome and talented couple. Coupled with her “reputation,” they had
become a hot topic among people.
Not far away, Adrian clearly noticed this scene. His gaze was fixed on Sienna, who was in Donald’s embrace, and his anger surged without concealment.
Janice, his companion, had no presence at his side.
Adrian’s attention was entirely on Sienna, and he didn’t even have time to spare a glance at Janice.
How could Janice not resent it? She clenched her teeth, watching Sienna on the dance floor, wishing she could pierce her with her gaze.
Without Sienna’s existence, Janice would be the rightful Mrs. Olson.
But now, even though Sienna had left the Olson manor, Adrian still couldn’t forget her. This had become Janice’s greatest concern.
“Adrian.” Janice tentatively pulled on Adrian’s sleeve, trying to persuade him to leave. “It’s so stuffy here. Why don’t we go home?”
Janice’s pitiful voice did not convince Adrian. He didn’t even turn his head but said in a deep voice,
“Let Marty take you home first, and you get some rest.”
Janice was taken aback by his words, as this development was entirely beyond her expectations.
Janice initially intended to use this opportunity to take Adrian away, but instead, Adrian used it as
an excuse to take her back to the manor.
“I. It’s not…”
Janice wanted to say something else, but Adrian didn’t listen carefully. He gestured to Marty to come over. “You’re not feeling well, so don’t stay too late, or your condition will worsen.”
Usually, Janice pretended to be in pain to make Adrian feel sorry for her and hate Sienna more.
Sometimes she would tell that her old illness acted up, and sometimes she had nightmares of
Sienna sitting by the bed, staring at her creepily, scaring her to shiver.
Every time, Adrian would console her like a child, making her feel delighted. However, she didn’t
expect that one day, she would hurt herself in the process.
Although she was reluctant, Janice had no choice but to leave with Marty.
Adrian’s gaze seemed to have hooks, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from Sienna on the
dance floor.

Sienna was too bold, having just escaped the Olson manor, now dancing intimately with another
man at the party.
Moreover, Sienna had only met Donald at Lara’s funeral. Sienna was truly cold and heartless.
As the dance ended, Sienna and Donald went to rest on the side.
Someone recognized Donald as a famous lawyer and approached for conversation.
Sienna tactfully stepped aside, picked up a glass of champagne, and strolled around the hall.
She didn’t need to get involved in Donald’s affairs, including his connections and career.
Their understanding of each other was minimal, remaining at a friendship level. Although allies, they maintained distance.
Sienna was wary of Donald but also strangely reassured.
She didn’t need to worry much when with him, as if he was trustworthy, never betraying her, becoming her solid support.
Sienna recalled Donald’s words, tilted her head in thought, finding it all peculiar.
Why did this man she first met at her mother’s funeral give her a strange sense of familiarity?
It seemed that they had met long ago, even during their childhood.
Sienna asked Donald, but he didn’t answer her directly.
The more he concealed, the more curious she became. His secrets made Sienna want to dig deeper.
Sienna was deep in thought, unaware of Adrian approaching.
By the time she noticed, Adrian had grabbed her wrist and dragged her to an empty corner.
“Let go!”
Sienna forcefully shook off his hand. Looking at Adrian’s gloomy face, her whole body tensed up.
What was Adrian planning to do now that things had come to this?
Did he think Sienna wasn’t miserable enough? Pressuring her relentlessly and leaving her no way
out.
“Mr. Olson, if I remember correctly, you have a companion. Please don’t assault others randomly.”
Being alone with Adrian brought back nightmarish memories for Sienna.
Her body, child and her loved ones.
Adrian took away what mattered most to her, leaving her scarred. Just breathing felt like a dull ache
