Chapter 708

Sienna didn’t shed a tear. She couldn’t bring herself to. Instead, she clenched her fists under the table, her eyes ablaze with anger as she glared at Vivian sitting across from her. Her fury toward Vivian was so intense that she wanted to tear her apart. The very sight of Vivian filled Sienna with disgust.
And yet, Vivian dared to cry? It only fueled Sienna’s rage even more!
Vivian reached for a tissue to wipe her tears and continued, “Afterward, I made it home safely, but Daniel had been tortured so severely that survival seemed impossible. “Everyone believed he was gone, and his body was thrown into the sea.”
Sienna’s eyes welled up with tears. She spoke with frustration, “But he somehow pulled through. Where were you during his toughest times? You never visited him. Is it because he was disabled?” Vivian hurriedly shook her head, tears pooling as she locked eyes with Sienna. “No, it’s not like that. I couldn’t bring myself to see him because of Nathan.”
“Nathan Morrison?” Sienna asked.
Vivian nodded, her voice tinged with anxiety as she explained, “Following Daniel’s incident, a missile launched from our country hit an island belonging to a neighboring nation and wiped it out entirely. “Internationally, they called it a case of a missile veering off course and dismissed it as a rare occurrence. But I’m aware that the island was a major hub for illegal drugs that Daniel was investigating. “Everyone who lived there was part of the drug trade, either making or selling drugs. There wasn’t a single innocent person among them.”
Sienna smirked and emptied her cup. She controlled her feelings before asking, “Are you worried that General Morrison might come after you for this, so you’re avoiding seeing Daniel?” Vivian nodded and hummed in response.
“But Daniel has never spoken ill of you. He’s never even mentioned you. General Morrison found out about it on his own.
“Given his nature, he probably wants to end your life, but Daniel won’t allow him to,” Sienna said, her frustration barely contained.
Vivian wiped her tears away, her mood lifting. “I’m aware of that now, and I want to tell you that Daniel loves me deeply.”
Sienna couldn’t resist a sneer. She bit her lip and gazed out the window at the garden. After calming her troubled heart and regaining her composure, she turned back to Vivian. “Ms. Ludovic, do you really understand Daniel?”
“Absolutely,” Vivian replied confidently.
“If you truly understand who he is, then curb your arrogance,” Sienna asserted firmly, her words carrying weight.
“He rescued you because he
understood the danger you faced.
He saved you because you were once his first love. He doesn’t want to see you go astray because you twe were once in love.
“If it were anyone else he cared for, he’d risk his life to save them, too. Wanda was once abducted and taken to that drug den.
“It was Daniel and General Morrison who came to her rescue. Yet, he didn’t harbor romantic feelings for Wanda, either,” Sienna explained.
“Who’s Wanda?” Vivian asked with curiosity.
“She’s General Morrison’s wife,” Sienna replied.
After listening to Vivian talk at length, Sienna finally understood what she meant. Vivian wanted Sienna to see the reality without clinging to any false hope about Daniel.
Vivian wanted Sienna to understand that Daniel had always loved her from the beginning.
“Ms. Ludovic, you’ve been
straightforward with me, and I get it
now. Since you’ve already broken us apart, there’s no need to go
overboard by sharing so much,”
Sienna said.
“I didn’t break you two apart. Your mother did,” Vivian retorted.
Sienna clenched her fists, feeling a surge of anger tempting her to punch Vivian. “If it weren’t for you, how would my mom have found out?”
“She would’ve found out eventually.”
Sienna took several deep breaths, struggling to rein in her emotions.
Vivian was the kind of woman who hid her cunning manipulation beneath a mask of innocence.
After regaining her composure, Sienna asked with a firm tone, “What’s your connection with Clement?”
