Chapter 355
Looking at the woman on the bed, he was struck by how much she resembled her sister. Especially the eyes.
Their expressions were different, though. This one had a dangerous glint in her eyes, a survivor. Sienna was colder, more aloof, as if the world was beneath her.
“Let me go.” Winifred said, her voice laced with disgust when she saw it was him
Fay sat down, his face a blank mask, but his eyes greedily traced the exquisite lines of her face.
Winifred felt a chill run down her spine as his gaze crawled over her.
“Let me go, she repeated.
Fay let out a cold laugh and leaned in close. “Let’s start with introductions. You seem to care a lot about the person in my photo. Tell me, what’s your relationship with her?”
Winifred turned her head away. I don’t know her.”
He had expected as much. Fay knew she wouldn’t
‘t reveal her identity so
so easily.
“That’s a shame. I was thinking, if you knew the person in the photo, I might do her a favor and let you go. But I guess not. Your motives are questionable, so I’ll have to take you back to headquarters” Fay said.
“Your” Winifred’s voice trembled with anger.
Winifred knew he was trying to
was trying to commer her, to force her to admit her connection to Sienna.
“I told you, I don’t know her. It was dark. I made a mistake. Winifred said.

A knowing smile played on Fay’s lips. “Get some sleep, We’ll be shipping you off this island tomorrow.
Winifred shot him a venomous glare. I have to escape, she thought frantically.
‘He definitely knows my sister. He’ll use me against her, and I’ll become a liability.
Sienna emerged from her room, wearing nothing but a silk robe that softened her usual sharp edges. Her long hair cascaded down her back and the hem of the robe offered tantalizing glimpses of her long legs.
Lana”
“Boss” Lana and Reno immediately lowered their heads.
“I heard Winifred is missing. What happened?” Sienna asked
Reno stepped forward to report. “Boss, Miss Winifred left the country three days ago. Our people were protecting her covertly, but she shook them off after arriving in Meridia. Now…”
Sienna’s voice was clipped. “Where did she disappear?”
Renu replied, “A small alley. We found bodies there, and after examination, it seems Miss Winifred was responsible. The men belonged. to Donald Davies. Davies was killed last night on an island in Eastria, where he had a factory. He was supposed to be meeting with Fay last night to discuss a partnership.”
Lana added. “Boss, I’ve already contacted Fay and told him Miss Winifred is likely on that island. He’s sent people to search for her.”
enna’s cool gaze settled on them. “Tell Fay he has three hours to find her.
Sienna knew Winifred had her own secrets and ambitions, and she didn’t interfere. But if anyone was stupid enough to lay a hand on her, they’d pay with their life.

Chapter 355
“You’re both dismissed, Lana, send a message to those old fossils in the Noir family. If they get any more funny ideas, tie up their children and grandchildren and toss them in the ocean.” Sienna said.
“Yes, boss.” Lana and Reno repiled.
Just as they left, Julian untied his apron and brought the last dish to the table
“Dinner’s ready. Let’s eat.”
Juhan came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist before pulling out her chair.
“Mm. Sienna replied.
Julian watched her expression closely, ready to spot any hint of displeasure with his cooking.
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Sienna asked, looking up from her chicken soup at the man who was watching her intently.
A gentle smile touched Julian’s lips, his eyes full of affection. “You look beautiful”
Sienna blushed and choked on her soup.
Julian quickly moved to pat her on the back. Easy there.”
She was flustered. It was like Julian had become a different person, constantly saying these embarrassing, heart–pounding things.
Just eat. Didn’t you have other business in Meridia? You don’t have to stay with me, go handle your own work,” Sienna said, trying to change the subject.
Tm not going.” he said. “TE1 have to worry about the little things, what’s the point of having them? I just want to be with you.”
Julian leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, his voice a low murmur. “I only want to be with you.”
Sienna pushed him away gently, the tips of her ears turning red.
Julian, you stop saying things like that. Someone might hear”
was the only protest she could muster.
His hand found hers, his fingers playfully intertwining with hers. “Alright,” he murmured. Til only say it when they can’t hear. Like right
now
Sienna fell silent. He was so clingy.
As night fell.
Later, after Sienna had showered, she found Julian sprawled lazilya
y on her bed, his robe hanging open as he read a book, one long leg stretched out
Sienna froze.
Seeing her. Julian set his book aside. “Let me dry your hair.”
“No, that’s okay. Sienna refused.
His robe was barely hanging on, revealing a sculpted chest and the defined lines of his abs. Sienna wasn’t sure if he was doing it on purpose or was just oblivious
Her eyes drifted to his body, and her mind flashed back to the events of last night.
She cleared her throat to hide her sudden panic.
“It’s late. You should go back to your own room. Sienna said.
