Chapter 398: Chapter 398
"Where is Evan Quinn?" Axel Yates suddenly asked the woman beside him, a sly smile playing on his lips... It was as if he had already guessed that Sienna Quinn had used this excuse to escape the old mansion...
Sienna Quinn’s body trembled slightly, her gaze fixed on Axel Yates before her, and she laughed awkwardly, saying, "What are you talking about? I don’t really understand..."
Sienna dared not meet Axel Yates’s eyes directly, just like staring into darkness, impossible to see the end, avoiding his gaze, the once-beautiful eyes now held a hint of panic... Before, looking into Axel Yates’s eyes felt like basking in the warmth of spring, but now, it was like staring into an abyss...
He was now a person who had fallen into the depths of the abyss, those blood-red eyes always provoking an impulse to flee...
"Evan Quinn is upstairs right now."
Axel Yates’s lips curled into a teasing smile, a faint playfulness glimmering in his shadowed eyes, as his crimson tongue gently licked his lips, giving off a bloodthirsty sensation that made one’s skin crawl.
"Is he really here, or do you want Landon Lawson to come rescue you? As far as I know... he doesn’t seem to have any feelings for you right now."
Axel Yates laughed cruelly.
Sienna tightly pursed her lips; she did think like that, but every time she considered it, she couldn’t find the slightest trace of guilt within herself...
If Axel Yates discovered this matter, who knows what might happen. The situation between her and Landon Lawson couldn’t afford any incidents; any arising would have severe consequences, especially now with Axel Yates targeting Landon relentlessly, even if it meant using her...
Every time she thought about past events, Sienna’s heart would ache slightly, whether it was the person she once spent so long on the bus with or the one she personally nurtured like Nolan Shaw, each situation made her heart hurt. How come these two people don’t feel even a hint of guilt?
Axel Yates narrowed his eyes gradually, scrutinizing the expressions on the woman’s face. Over the years, this woman excelled in everything, but there was one area lacking—controlling her emotions. One could see everything she thought from her face... Just an uncertain glance could confirm for Axel Yates that Sienna had lured him here merely to seize an opportunity to escape.
Axel Yates suddenly laughed sinisterly, his mocking gaze measuring Sienna up and down, a thin glance tinged with faint resentment: "Or do you think Landon Lawson is now capable of opposing me? You may not realize this yet, but Landon Lawson is already struggling to fend for himself."
"What are you saying?" Sienna’s brows furrowed slightly, a trace of surprise flickering in her eyes. She never expected Landon Lawson’s situation to be so dire that he couldn’t even confront Axel Yates.
In this city, there was nobody who could pose a threat to Landon Lawson’s situation; why had he ended up in such a state?
Sienna’s eyes showed skepticism, casting a doubtful look at Axel Yates.
Axel Yates knew Sienna didn’t believe him, yet he offered no further explanation, the confident smile at his lips spoke volumes—even now, he could step on Landon Lawson, let alone with a mysterious person behind him, ensuring Landon never has a chance to run wild.
Just thinking of stepping on Landon Lawson here, possessing his wife and son made it feel like life had finally come full circle.
He wanted Landon Lawson to pay for what her father did years ago...
Sienna watched Axel Yates warily, seeing the unstoppable hate in his eyes, Sienna paused—it was a look all too familiar.
It looked just like when she woke up five years ago, carrying a thread of resentment even after her rebirth...
Now Axel Yates’s eyes were filled with deep-seated resentment, a grudge that couldn’t be concealed, blinding him completely—how did the once-gentle man become this?
Even back then, when he discovered Landon Lawson’s father was his father’s murderer, even then when he kidnapped her, at the moment she was shot, she still saw a hint of guilt and remorse in Axel Yates’s eyes.
How come now there’s not even that rare shred of guilt and regret?
What happened to Axel Yates? Sienna constantly had a bad feeling, and this unease stemmed from Axel Yates.
There were too many unknowns surrounding him... as if there was a mysterious person controlling everything from behind, muddling all situations completely.
In this game, everyone seemed like chess pieces in that mysterious person’s hands... as if even he were ensnared within...
"Since you want to know what’s going on with Landon Lawson, I’ll tell you everything today and tomorrow."
Axel Yates’s lips curled into another teasing smile, yet Sienna’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded beside the two. Sienna turned her head, and when she saw Nolan Shaw, her eyes finally sparkled with a glimmer of hope; her awaited event had finally occurred—when facing Axel Yates alone, she dared not harbor any thoughts of resistance, only complying with the man’s arrangements would ensure her personal safety, as Axel Yates was no longer the man she once knew...

Nolan Shaw frowned slightly upon seeing Axel Yates beside her. He was already aware of this man’s deeds; after all, all situations in the company were created by Axel Yates.
The situation between the two companies had long become irreconcilable, but why was Sienna with this man?
Nolan Shaw’s eyes roamed between the two, as Sienna approached him suddenly, grabbed Nolan’s arm, and a trace of hope flicked through her eyes: "Nolan, I distinctly remember you owed me a meal before, isn’t today the day to repay it?"
Sienna was momentarily puzzled; he clearly didn’t remember owing Sienna a meal, yet having been by Landon Lawson’s side for so many years, he’d gained a lot of insight.
