Chapter 218: Chapter 218

She was destined for a life-or-death struggle with Frederick Stewart and his wife, Sabrina.

"Sienna, where are you going?" Frederick blocked her way. Sienna Johnson stepped back to maintain her distance.

"What are you trying to do?" Sienna asked defensively.

"Are you really planning to marry that poor boy?"

Frederick had a look of abandonment on his face. What was he up to?

"Mr. Stewart, I don’t think this is any of your business?"

"What are you thinking? There are so many good men out there. Why choose such an unpresentable one?"

Sienna furrowed her eyebrows. She ignored Frederick and walked around him. She had nothing to say to this man.

But Frederick blatantly grabbed her hand. "Do you still hate me? Hate how I treated you? These past few years, I’ve been miserable too, Sienna. If I say I regret it, would you believe me?"

"... It was Sabrina Johnson who misled me. I made a mistake because I wasn’t thinking straight. Can you forgive me, Sienna?"

"I said, let go!" Her voice was as cold as hail, each word crashing resoundingly to the ground.

"Sienna, must you be so heartless? After all, we were once engaged, weren’t we? We were once lovers, weren’t we?"

The word "lovers" was an insult to such a beautiful term when applied to them. They had never been lovers, merely a union of interests. At most, they were partners, but this partner of hers had even tried to kill her.

Who would want to be friends again with a partner who had once betrayed them?

At least she, Sienna Johnson, wouldn’t!

"Don’t marry that useless man, Kenneth Brown. Marry me, okay?" Frederick tried to bewitch Sienna.

It was a pity. How could Sienna Johnson be so easily bewitched by a man? Especially this scumbag, Frederick Stewart, a man with a hidden agenda. If she still believed Frederick, she must be out of her mind!

"Marry you? Frederick Stewart, don’t forget, you were the one who abandoned me."

Sienna laughed as if she had heard the greatest joke. She yanked her hand back and meticulously wiped the spot Frederick had touched with a handkerchief. She even wiped her fingers, as if Frederick were a pathogen and she could catch some disease from him.

"I thought you were dead."

"Sorry, I’m too hard to kill. I didn’t die. Much to your disappointment, I’m sure."

"It was all Sabrina Johnson’s doing. I didn’t want to do it either." Frederick tried to shift the blame onto Sabrina, attempting to clear his name.

"Frederick, does Sabrina know you’re saying these things?"

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Frederick’s face. "She isn’t as wonderful as she appears on the surface. You should know this better than I do."

"When you were little, you were often bullied by Sabrina. I knew all about it."

He knew, yet he never stood up for her. What a hypocrite!

"But you’re still married, aren’t you? How could I marry you? You don’t expect me to be your mistress, do you?"

The word "mistress" echoed in her mind, stinging her heart. A certain memory throbbed with pain at those two words. Was it Adrian Desmond? Did that man want her to be his mistress too?

Hearing a potential opening, Frederick immediately promised, "I will divorce Sabrina Johnson!"

"You don’t believe me?"

"For a man who once tried to kill me, how could I possibly believe you?" Sienna threw the handkerchief on the ground, her expression colder than the moonlight.

"As long as you promise to marry me, I’ll go back and divorce Sabrina right away!"

"Frederick Stewart, you truly are heartless!"

Frederick didn’t think he was heartless. He was still trying to defend himself. "After all these years, she hasn’t even been able to bear a child. It wouldn’t be wronging her for me to divorce her. Does our Stewart family have to end without descendants?"

Sienna coldly gazed at the selfish, heartless man before her. She really had to thank Sabrina. Otherwise, if she had married this ruthless man, her life would have been ruined.

Truly, it takes a villain to deal with another villain. Frederick and Sabrina were a match made in hell.

"Frederick Stewart, don’t forget, I’m looking for a man to marry into my family. Even if we were really together, your Stewart family would still have no descendants, because any children born would take the surname ’Johnson’!"

Of course, even if every other man in the world died, it still wouldn’t be possible for them.

Sienna glanced past the flower bushes, spotting Sabrina Johnson’s figure almost hidden there, teeth practically grinding. An inexplicable sense of satisfaction washed over Sienna. For now, she couldn’t truly deal with them, but causing them some distress felt pretty good too.

Sienna turned back, flashing Frederick a captivating smile, so radiant that the flowers in the garden seemed to lose their color in comparison.

Frederick stared, mesmerized, at Sienna in her lotus-pink long dress; she looked like a fairy bathed in moonlight. His infatuated gaze then met the eyes of Sabrina, who was hiding behind the flowers. Seeing his look, Sabrina burned with jealousy. She had done so much for this man, yet his heart still longed for that little bitch!

After Sienna left, Sabrina emerged.

She looked at her husband’s dazed expression and mocked, "Stop looking. She’s gone."

Frederick turned his gaze back to Sabrina, his expression returning to normal. "Weren’t you in Mother’s room, keeping her company? What are you doing in the back garden?"

Sabrina looked at him with bitterness and sarcasm. "If I hadn’t come, I would have missed this fantastic show, wouldn’t I?"

"What exactly did you hear?" Frederick asked coldly.

"I heard my ’dear’ husband vowing to divorce me and marry my vixen of a sister," Sabrina said, grinding her teeth.

"Don’t talk nonsense." Frederick made to leave, but Sabrina blocked him. "Frederick Stewart, I heard it with my own ears! Are you still trying to lie to me?"

"Sabrina Johnson, this is the Johnson Estate! Don’t lose your mind!" Frederick warned in a low voice.

"If I really do go crazy, it’ll be because you drove me to it!"

"Frederick Stewart, you complain that I can’t bear children. But have you ever asked yourself why I can’t? I was pregnant with your child in my senior year of high school. You made me abort it! After that, I could never get pregnant again! Why don’t you tell everyone, especially your mother?"

"Everyone thinks there’s something wrong with my body, but the problem is with you! If you hadn’t forced me to abort that child, our child would be quite old by now... We could have had more children..." Official source is novel·fire.net

"Frederick Stewart, when your mother cursed me, calling me a barren hen who couldn’t even lay an egg, why didn’t you speak up for me?"

Sienna hid behind a porch pillar, using its shadow and the moonlight to conceal herself. Frederick Stewart and Sabrina Johnson had done many despicable things together. She had deliberately stayed behind to eavesdrop, never expecting that the two of them had gotten involved back when Sabrina was still in high school.
