Chapter 692
Daniel sat in the passenger seat and sent Sienna a message.
Her phone buzzed, and she pulled it out to read. “Sisi, are you here to see the celebrities with your friend?”
Sienna texted back, “Jane convinced me to come along. I didn’t expect to run into you.”
Daniel: “I’ll be buried in work for the next few days. I won’t have much free time to spend with you.”
Sienna: “No worries. Work should always come first.”
Daniel: “I’ll make it up to you once things are over.”
Sienna replied with a smiling emoji and wrote, “Are those people doing something illegal?”
Daniel: “Not sure yet. We’re bringing them in for questioning.”
Sienna: “Okay, focus on your work. Stay safe, and don’t overwork yourself.”
Daniel concluded with a kissing emoji. Sienna couldn’t help but giggle softly.
Jane noticed Sienna’s expression and teased, “It’s just a few texts, and you’re beaming.”
Sienna quickly composed herself, pocketed her phone, and said, “We’re done with the celebrities. Should we head back?”
Jane followed her as they left the crowd together.
Out of nowhere, a man dressed in a suit, Connor Boyd, blocked their way.
Sienna looked at him, puzzled.
“You’re Ms. Lawson, right?” Connor asked politely.
“And you are?” Sienna asked.
“That’s unimportant. Our boss needs to speak with you,” Connor said.
Jane gripped Sienna’s hand anxiously. “Do you know who his boss is?”
Sienna shook her head, turning back to Connor. “And who might your boss be?”
“You’ll find out once you meet him.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in meeting him.”
Connor took out his phone and opened a video before showing it to Sienna. “You don’t have a choice.”
The video displayed Felix seated at a gambling table, holding chips and making bets.
Sienna’s concern deepened as she watched the video. She shifted her gaze back to Connor and asked, “Where’s Felix?”
“Please, come with me alone,” Connor said.
Worried about Sienna’s safety, Jane spoke up hastily, “I’ll go with you.”
Connor glared at Jane and warned, “Stay out of this if you don’t want trouble.”
Jane, who was naturally timid, felt a rush of fear at his words.
Sienna gently removed Jane’s hand and reassured her, “You should stay out of this. I’ll go find Felix and bring him back.” “Be careful,” Jane said.
Sienna nodded and left with Connor.
Connor tried to convince her to get in the car, But she stood her ground, adamant about trailing them on her electric scooter.
Her determination was unwavering. She insisted on doing things her way or not at all.
Reluctantly, Connor gave in and
drove ahead while she trailed behind on her scooter. What was meant to be a quick ten-minute trip stretched out to over half an hour.
Eventually, they arrived at a renowned hot spring resort nestled halfway up a mountain in a different town.
Connor guided her through the resort, eventually leading her down to the basement level, where they stopped outside a secluded, spacious room.
As Connor swung the door open, an old-fashioned partition screen greeted them.
Sienna trailed behind, entering the room as Connor shut the door. She cast a nervous glance over her shoulder before pressing on.
She walked around the partition
screen and entered a spacious area filled with gambling tables. Strange men occupied the tables,

exchanging bets and playing cards.
Felix sat on a couch nearby, his face drained of color as he anxiously stared downward.
Sienna roared, “Felix! What are you doing here?”
Felix looked up. Relief washed over him as he spotted her. He quickly rose to his feet. “Sienna.”
Before he could rise completely, the man beside him forcefully shoved him back onto the couch, eliciting fear in Felix’s eyes.
His voice trembled with guilt as he uttered, “I’m sorry, Sienna.”
The man beside Felix asked, “You’re Felix’s sister?”
Sienna clenched her fists, masking her emotions with forced composure. “Yes, I am.”
“Your brother owes us over two
million dollars,” the man announced, brandishing a loan agreement before tucking it away with a smirk. “Why don’t you help him settle his debt?”
