Chapter 174: Chapter 174

"Okay, I believe you."

This is a sister he’s trusted for over twenty years, Landon Lawson never wanted to doubt her.

Vera Yates suddenly lifted her head, staring at Landon Lawson’s handsome face, her eyes shining brightly as she wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, joyously saying, "Really?"

Landon Lawson pursed his lips, coldly glanced at her, remained silent without saying another word, and turned to leave Vera Yates’s place. Vera approached him nervously, watching Landon Lawson.

"Stephen, after so many years, don’t you know me well enough? How could I be that kind of person?"

"I know, I’m heading back; there’s still work at the company."

Vera Yates called him softly, her eyes flickering constantly in hesitation, as if she wanted to speak but held back.

"What do you want to say?"

"Tomorrow is Sienna’s birthday, and the Quinn Family is hosting a birthday banquet for her. You know my situation isn’t too good right now... can you..."

Vera’s eyes were filled with helplessness and hesitation, and the bitter smile made Landon Lawson frown.

"Really?" Vera Yates was overjoyed, didn’t expect Landon Lawson to agree so straightforwardly, showing he still cared about her, otherwise, he wouldn’t agree to attend with her.

There was undeniable excitement in her eyes.

"Because the matter between Sienna and me implicates you, it’s something I should do."

The woman, who was originally delighted, had her fervent blood turned cold by Landon Lawson’s words.

It turns out all of this is just because of Sienna, Landon Lawson only wants to make amends with her, not love!

These five years of companionship, are they all inferior to those few recent days since that woman returned?

Vera lowered her eyes in resentment, gritting her teeth, wishing she could tear Sienna to pieces. From childhood to adulthood, whatever Vera wanted, when didn’t she get it? But now, she’s being suppressed by Sienna everywhere.

How is this fair? Sienna already has Axel Yates and Felix Orwell, why come back to compete with her for Landon Lawson?

And bringing along a cumbersome burden!

Landon Lawson’s voice was somewhat cold, his deep gaze lingered on Vera for a few more moments, his low voice sounded, "Go back, your health isn’t good, rest more, and someday you should go to Miles for a thorough checkup. It’s been so many years, don’t leave any lingering ailments."

"Will you accompany me?" Vera Yates asked softly, her deep eyes made Landon Lawson frown.

"The group is very busy now; Miles will take good care of you."

After speaking, Landon Lawson turned and left, without any hesitation.

Vera stood at the door, watching the back of the man leaving, her slender hands tightly clenched into fists, her shadowy expression made her look somewhat frightening.

Long gone was the aura of an actress.

"Now, even going to the hospital, he won’t accompany me anymore? It’s all because of Sienna! It’s all because of you!" The woman said through gritted teeth.

Vera slammed the door with force, shaking the entire corridor.

The elevator door opened slowly, and a black figure stepped out of it.

Landon Lawson’s face was cold, his expressionless demeanor made it hard to discern joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. Glancing at the closed door, he turned and walked into the hallway.

Seeing the trash can placed in the hallway, his brows furrowed slightly, without any restraint, he opened the trash can, inside was a pink laptop.

The originally calm face finally showed a change.

If he remembered correctly, this laptop should have been given to Vera Yates by Miles.

Landon Lawson appeared somewhat impatient, directly opening the laptop to examine its contents.

An empty computer, with nothing inside.

Landon Lawson’s gaze became grave, with an intriguing taste.

Sienna received a call from Landon Lawson and went home early, opened the door, and saw Evan Quinn sitting obediently on the sofa, "Mommy!"

Seeing his little bitter face, Sienna gently chuckled and walked over to hold his chubby little body in her arms, placing her head on his little head, her mouth slightly curving into a smile, "Why the long face?"

"Look..." Evan pointed guiltily at the toy bear beside him.

Sienna looked over, her eyes slightly froze, "Why is it missing an eye? Who did this? Landon?" Sienna’s tone gradually raised, her expression wasn’t good, did Landon have a violent tendency?

Even if he couldn’t stand her, it’s too much to lay a hand on the toy bear.

How much does he hate her?

Sienna angrily picked up the phone, today she must talk to Landon properly.

Evan saw Sienna’s angry demeanor and quickly reached out to snatch the phone away, his gaze was somewhat strange as he said, "There’s a surveillance camera inside this teddy bear..."

"Surveillance camera?"

Sienna raised her brows, her bright eyes gradually deepened, who could it be?

Sienna picked up the toy bear, the meter-tall toy bear, and placed it on the sofa without paying attention afterward, not realizing there was a surveillance camera inside. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs nοvelfire.net

"Daddy found it." Evan dared not say his idol had come to the house, if he let Sienna know, she might not speak so calmly.

"Landon? Isn’t this teddy bear a gift from him?"

Sienna clearly remembered this teddy bear was brought back by Nolan Shaw, presuming it was from him. But if it’s not, then who else could it be? Moreover, someone who could install a surveillance camera inside.

Looking at Evan’s serious little face, not seeming to joke.

"I forgot to tell mommy, that bad aunt went to the kindergarten before, got stopped by Teacher Cole, this bear was her gift, I forgot it that day..."

She actually went to see Evan, that woman actually showed up... is she planning to harm Chloe?

Sienna suddenly looked seriously at Evan, "You must remember my words, in the future, stay away from Vera Yates, apart from these few people I trust, never go with any strangers."

Evan looked blankly at Sienna, "Why?"

"No... nothing, you just have to remember what I said." Sienna’s eyes were grave.

Evan gently nodded, although he didn’t understand why, but just listening to mommy would be enough.

Sienna calmed her emotions, her hands cupping Evan’s small face, her serious look made Evan sit upright.

"Don’t ask about this matter, just remember, apart from these few trusted people by my side, never go with anyone else, got it?"

Evan didn’t know how long it had been since he last saw Sienna look so serious, though they were mother and son, more often they were like friends, but at this moment, Sienna’s words were unquestionable.

"Mommy, I know, I’ll definitely listen to you."

Evan nodded with pursed lips, seeing his agreement, Sienna finally breathed a sigh of relief, her clenched fists finally loosened, with marks left in her palm from fingernails.
