CHAPTER 8: CHAPTER 8: WHAT IS SHE WAITING FOR?

"Sienna Quinn?" The speaker’s eyes widened in disbelief, probably not expecting Sienna to return after disappearing for five years, and to be so different from before.

"Long time no see." Sienna quickly recovered from the shock, and a polite yet distant smile spread across her face.

Vera Yates.

The one who deceived her to lose the overseas training opportunity, stole her two kidneys, and the culprit behind her death. No matter how calm she appeared outwardly, Sienna’s heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

And after seeing the man behind Vera, her heart gave a fierce jolt, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

Landon Lawson.

That devilish man.

She never thought she would face him so soon.

As their eyes met, Sienna’s eyes began to sting, and she lowered her head to avoid the deep gaze.

She thought she had prepared enough to face him calmly and rationally, but didn’t expect that upon meeting again, the pain in her chest would be so piercing.

"Sienna, one day you’ll understand that marrying me was not the beginning of your happiness, but the start of your life’s destruction! Just wait, marrying me will definitely be the thing you regret most in your life; nothing else comes close!" This was the first thing he said to her after leaving the civil affairs bureau.

Even though ten years had passed for her, she still remembered this sentence clearly, along with the tone and expression he had when speaking.

A prophecy that came true.

The thing she regretted most before dying in her past life was loving him and marrying him.

"Sienna, it really is you, where have you been these five years?" Vera smiled with surprise and joy, reaching out to hold Sienna’s hand.

Sienna backed away, avoiding her.

This actress is really something; acting should be as simple as eating for Vera.

Yet she didn’t understand; wasn’t Vera suffering from a severe kidney disease in her past life?

Four years ago abroad, she had secretly donated a kidney to her, but in this new life, why does Vera seem perfectly healthy?

And now she’s an actress, famous everywhere. The acting profession is so grueling...

Recalling the scene back then and considering Vera’s excellent acting skills, a disgusting thought emerged in Sienna’s mind.

Her acting is so good, could it be that her kidney disease was just a façade at the time? Did she bribe the doctor?

Simply to make her...

Her heart gave another fierce jolt, just as the man a few meters away had already walked up to her.

Feeling the overwhelming presence approaching, Sienna looked up at him once more.

He didn’t say a word, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his face expressionless, yet his entire demeanor exuded coldness.

He took long strides towards Sienna, step by step closing the distance.

Sienna’s fists clenched tightly, instinctively moving backwards.

Until she reached the glass door at the entrance.

Sienna thought it was a wall, intended to lean her back against it, but didn’t expect it was a slightly delayed automatic glass door.

As her back leaned backward, the glass door suddenly opened on both sides, leaving Sienna completely unprepared as her head tipped straight down, her whole body staggering backward.

The man instinctively reached out to grab her hand.

But just as he was about to touch her, he pulled his hand back.

Sienna: "..."

Ha, what was she expecting?

From someone as cold-blooded as Landon Lawson, did she really expect him to reach out and support her?
