Chapter 160: Chapter 160

Sienna Quinn suddenly stood up, her eyes full of disbelief: "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to deny everything?"

"Deny everything? Do you really think a piece of paper can change the fact that I am Chloe’s father? Even if I sign hundreds of them, it still can’t change our biological connection."

Landon Lawson’s cold smile made Sienna chuckle, the shock in her eyes fleeting: "I never expected that the famous President Lawson of Lawson Group would resort to such underhanded tactics. If this gets exposed, who knows what impact it might have."

Stephen leaned back, arms folded, looking like a shameless rogue, ignoring whatever Sienna said or did. Today, he was determined not to acknowledge anything.

It was the first time Sienna saw Stephen behaving like a rogue; she’d never noticed such genes in him before.

Who would have thought that being shameless was one of his tactics?

Yesterday, Sienna was thinking of using this agreement to sever all ties between him and Evan Quinn.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the agreement was placed before him today, he tore it up.

"You don’t really think a piece of paper can have legal effects, do you? Regardless of the questions it contains, we have no guarantor between us, not even a third-party witness. This agreement is legally void."

Landon’s mouth curled up; he knew from the start that this agreement had no legal power, and since his biological connection to Evan Quinn couldn’t be severed, no matter Sienna’s intentions, it was all in vain.

Sienna’s beautiful brows furrowed tightly, realizing only now that she’d fallen into his trap from the start.

She once thought he was straightforward and honorable and would honor the agreement, but now it seemed otherwise.

The truth was, only she was treated this way by Landon Lawson.

This shamelessness was reserved just for her.

Landon looked at the woman who wanted to explode but was trying to hold back, watching her with amusement. Sienna was indeed adorable; Stephen had finally figured out the strategy for dealing with her—no ordinary approach would work.

Only by using extraordinary measures could he win over Sienna.

Sienna rolled her eyes fiercely: "So, what do you want?" Sienna couldn’t believe that there was no ulterior motive behind Landon’s actions.

"I don’t want anything special. I’ve always been Chloe’s father, an undeniable fact, so since you brought me here today, we should discuss the custody of the child."

Sienna’s pupils shrank; her worst fears had come true, Landon truly was after custody since the beginning.

Sienna sneered, unable to believe she’d been countered, and though she didn’t get the outcome she wanted, he was now striving to obtain rights, unaffected by the agreement’s lack of legal force.

Landon sat upright, his voice turning cold: "I’m doing this for the child. Now that he’s in this world, as parents, we should ensure he has everything he needs. Since we can’t provide him a complete family now, we should do our best to compensate for it."

Upon hearing Landon’s words, Sienna burst into laughter, which sounded particularly scornful in the silent room.

Landon paused, quietly watching Sienna nearly laugh herself to tears.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I’m just laughing at you—for saying something like that," Sienna wiped the tears from her eyes, finding it too hilarious.

Since you know how important a family is to a child’s growth, then who made Evan Quinn live this way?

Sienna didn’t regret leaving; if she hadn’t, neither she nor Evan Quinn would still be alive.

Landon’s brow furrowed slightly; his expression was displeased: "That’s the truth."

"The truth? Fine, keep talking. I want to see what else you can come up with," Sienna folded her arms, sipping the tea on the table. Since they were airing everything out today, they might as well directly tackle the issue.

"You probably haven’t seen how those kids longing for paternal love grew up, have you?"

With that, he handed her his phone, where videos played of children who grew up in darkness due to lack of a father, forced to mature prematurely. Their situation was identical to Evan Quinn’s.

Sienna watched as her small hands clenched into fists.

Her heart trembled continuously.

Could her Chloe turn out like that in the future?

Sienna dared not imagine, nor did she want to.

Calming herself, Sienna’s mind settled; Evan Quinn had stayed by her side for five years, maturing early yet growing up safely, his cute demeanor endearing him to those around him, never facing such situations.

Maintaining an emotionless face, she strained to show no response. It was a mental duel, like a business negotiation, where a single misstep could lead to disadvantage. Sienna would never let this happen.

"You’ve seen my Chloe; I won’t find him a stepfather, but you’ve already found him a stepmother."

"Stepmother?" Landon paused, understanding who she referred to; Sienna always targeted Vera Yates, who was purely innocent, yet now she had Vera in her sights.

Facing Sienna, Landon always intended to speak kindly, but why couldn’t she reason? Every time, their encounters ended in discord. The most update n0vels are published on novel⟡fire.net

Landon’s face felt tense, forcing himself to calm down.

Looking at Sienna’s face, he tried to control his impulses.

"Landon, actually I want to ask you something."

Landon paused, noting Sienna unusually refrained from venting anger at him. While expressionless, her mood seemed a lot calmer.

"Five years ago, if you knew I was pregnant, would you have allowed me to have this child?"

The woman’s question took Stephen aback, looking down as he thought about it.

Sienna anxiously clenched her fists, greatly concerned about Landon’s forthcoming answer.

Landon replied coldly, prompting Sienna to laugh bitterly. Landon indeed didn’t lie, speaking honestly, even under such circumstances, unchanged from before rebirth.

Landon’s gaze was complex; he didn’t want to deceive Sienna.

Based on his attitude towards her five years ago, this child was something he despised.
