CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 336: THE TRUTH

The dim bar, multicolored lights, dazzling and confusing, men and women mixed together, the alcohol amplifying human nature to the fullest.

At this moment, Axel Yates sat in the booth, his eyes hazily looking at his phone. Just now, 2 had called him, informing him about Sienna Quinn.

Axel Yates’s eyes were filled with deep confusion. Why?

After he treated her like that, why would she still want to help him?

No matter how he thought about it, Axel Yates couldn’t understand it. Shouldn’t Sienna Quinn hate him deeply by now? Could she be trying to forgive and forget?

Axel Yates shook his head forcefully, unable to figure it out, with a slight, helpless smile at the corner of his mouth.

Sienna Quinn, with you like this, how can I ever hate you?

Axel Yates picked up the whiskey on the table and drank it down in one gulp!

It entered with a chill, slipping down his throat, bringing warmth as it descended, until he felt his whole body was heating up.

Annoyed...

Since he injured Landon Lawson and Sienna Quinn, Axel Yates had been restless, no longer the gentle person he used to be, and would flare up at the slightest displeasure. This feeling was unfamiliar, unsettling him.

He hadn’t appeared in front of familiar people, unsure of how to face them.

He had heard Landon Lawson’s words that day clearly. Landon Lawson denied what he had said, and Sienna Quinn had also said that Landon Lawson’s parents weren’t like that.

Axel Yates had known Landon Lawson for quite a while and knew his character.

If Landon Lawson was the one who harmed his parents, Axel Yates wouldn’t believe it. But it was Landon Lawson’s father, and Axel Yates wasn’t sure, nor could he be certain.

The son of the enemy he’d sought for years was right in front of him. How could Axel Yates remain calm?

"Axel Yates."

Hearing the call behind him, Axel Yates turned his head and vaguely saw two men in black suits walking toward him.

"Come with us."

"Go? Who do you think you are? If you tell me to go, I have to go?" Axel Yates sneered coldly, half-lying on the sofa, squinting at the two who reached out to him.

Darkness, endless darkness.

When the light suddenly appeared in front of him, Axel Yates took a moment to adapt, squinting his eyes, and after a while, he could see the person opposite him clearly.

"Hello, Axel Yates."

"Who are you?"

Axel Yates looked at the person sitting in the shadows, but their entire face was swallowed by darkness. He could only see the shiny black leather shoes on their feet, the reflected light making him squint.

"Who I am is not important. What’s important is what I know you know."

The voice was altered, making it impossible to discern gender.

But those words made Axel Yates pause. What did he want to know? Over the years, hadn’t it always been about his parents?

Could it be...

"What do you know?"

"I know the truth about your parents’ deaths."

Although the voice was altered, it still carried a mocking tone.

The truth about their deaths, isn’t that what he always wanted to know?

"Who?"

"Landon Lawson’s father!"

Thunk!

The unresolved thorn in his heart was suddenly driven deep.

Axel Yates coldly looked at the shoes in the shadows: "Do you have evidence?"

"Of course I do; otherwise, do you think I would come to tell you?" The person said sinisterly, handing over a document.

Axel Yates took the document in hand, his expression terrifyingly grim. The excuses he had made for Landon Lawson were completely overturned by this document.

Three days later.

At the Yates Group, through these past days, Sienna Quinn not only significantly increased the turnover of the coffee shop but also successfully signed a contract.

The employees at Yates Group were all very impressed by Sienna Quinn, a capable woman.

However, the board members were very unwilling to accept this.

"Look!" A shareholder threw Sienna Quinn’s performance on the table vigorously, speaking angrily: "This Sienna Quinn is really something."

The largest shareholder, Anson Linton, having seen the world, maintained composure. He picked up the material, read it, and then smiled sinisterly: "As the saying goes, ’If there are no difficulties, create some.’"

"What do you mean?" The person asked in confusion.

"Then let’s create some difficulties for that woman Sienna Quinn." Anson Linton’s sinister smile deepened.

If issues weren’t created soon, that coffee shop would be secured by Sienna Quinn, and doing anything further would be difficult.

At the coffee shop.

Sienna Quinn busied herself, with the waitress who had first begged her following closely behind, ready to serve.

"President Quinn, have we secured the coffee shop?"

"Almost, because we achieved the results he wanted in just three days." Sienna Quinn was satisfied with the result, which is why she had a smile on her lips.

Creaaak.

The cafe door opened, and a man’s silhouette stood there.

Watching Sienna Quinn’s busy figure, Axel Yates felt a sharp heartache.

"Axel Yates?"

Upon seeing Axel Yates, Sienna Quinn was clearly taken aback, quickly approached him, and examined him up and down.

Hurriedly, she invited Axel Yates in and thoughtfully made him a cup of coffee.

"Do you plan to stay here? I’ve heard about the company’s affairs. You don’t need to get involved in it." Axel Yates spoke for her, not wanting her to meddle in his affairs anymore.

Axel Yates knew better than anyone what was happening inside the Yates Group. It was just that he hadn’t managed it well before.

"Of course not!" Sienna Quinn firmly denied.

"I’ve come here just to gain experience, to shut the mouths of those old men on the board. It’s also to help you keep this coffee shop."’

Sienna Quinn’s eyes shone with a stubborn and determined gleam.

Hearing Sienna Quinn say this, Axel Yates paused, his expression slightly changing, with a touch of heartache and subdued love deep in his eyes.

"Why do you still want to involve yourself in my matters?"

"Because of my gratitude to you, without you, I wouldn’t be who I am today." Sienna Quinn spoke slowly, and although Axel Yates’s kidnapping of her was vivid in her memory, it didn’t erase the gratitude she owed Axel Yates for nurturing her. Besides, Sienna Quinn always felt there was something odd about this whole thing.

Gratitude...

Axel Yates gave a self-deprecating smile, "Don’t you hate me?"

"I want to explain it to you; there must be a misunderstanding in all this. I believe we’ll resolve it." Sienna Quinn said firmly. This matter might not be easy to resolve and could be troublesome, but she was willing to slowly work through it.

Axel Yates’s pupils shrank and he unexpectedly said, "I regret that incident; I didn’t investigate thoroughly and brought trouble to you both. Landon Lawson... is he okay?"

"He’s fine now, so don’t worry." Sienna Quinn smiled, not mentioning that Landon Lawson’s right hand couldn’t move.

In fact, Sienna Quinn hadn’t really talked about this with Landon Lawson yet.
