“Why did you kill my mother? Revenge on me? To punish me for the woman you love? Adrian, ask yourself, haven’t you tormented me long enough? I’ve lost one of my kidneys and my baby. Isn’t that enough?”
Sienna turned to face Adrian, her eyes devoid of light and love, only filled with extreme indifference and… hatred. “Isn’t it enough?”
“Sienna, don’t…” Adrian furrowed his brows, unable to call her unreasonable. He paused, “I didn’t kill Mrs. Mckinney.”
“You didn’t kill her? Huh… indeed, you didn’t.” Sienna laughed bitterly, clinging to her mother’s now cold body.
“It was me who killed Mom. It was me who insisted on loving you. If I hadn’t fallen in love with you, maybe none of this would have happened.”
Sienna spoke to herself, and her voice was filled with sorrow.
Lara had been a well-known socialite, a graceful, charming middle-aged woman. It was ridiculous that she lost her life just
like that.
“How could you be so foolish, Mom? Why did you do this? You could’ve just told me. I don’t love him anymore. I really don’t…”
“I’ll take you away. Away…”
Sienna’s gaze was hazy, and her words were repetitive. Her mind was filled with Lara’s last look. Lara was now dead and cold…. covered in blood.
“Sienna, snap out of it.” Adrian watched Sienna, feeling suffocated as she spoke of not loving him anymore.
“I’ll give Mrs. Mckinney a proper burial.”
In the end, Adrian’s eyes went cold, leaving only those words for Sienna. His heartless tone couldn’t affect her anymore because her heart was already shattered.
“Adrian, let’s get a divorce.”
Pressing her head against her mother’s, the sticky blood sobered Sienna up. She had made a mistake, and it was time to set
things right.
“What?” Adrian’s face darkened.
“Divorce.”
Sienna’s answer was clear.
“Sienna, don’t be sad… Mrs. McKinney, she…” Janice, standing nearby, approached just in time, pulling Adrian with one hand,
and her voice was filled with sorrow.
“Get lost.” Sienna looked up, her thin lips barely moving, yet her words were incredibly powerful. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Don’t disturb my mother.”
Like a frightened girl, Janice moved behind Adrian. Adrian frowned, feeling annoyed. “Don’t accuse Janice without reason. This has nothing to do with her.”

Nothing to do with her?
In an instant, a sharp gaze shot toward the two of them. Sienna put down Lara, wiped the tears from her face, and didn’t care about the blood on her hands. She leaned on a nearby pillar and slowly stood up, trembling with every step.
“Nothing to do with her?”
“What makes you think so?”
“Janice, are you completely innocent?”
Sienna approached them. Even in her disheveled state, she still held her pride, just like Lara had moments ago.
Janice clenched her hands, hating this version of Sienna. This woman, even when pushed down, could still…
“Sienna, that’s enough!”
Adrian’s voice was icy cold.
