Chapter 388
The more Thorn thought about it, the more wronged he felt, his eyes growing redder by the second.
His gaze at Sienna was full of accusation and grievance
Julian glanced at Sienna, wondering. Is she really going to make him marry for an alliance? Thorn Noir might have been my rival in love, but now he poses no threat, and he never will.
Still, making him marry for an alliance feels a bit cruel.
“Maybe I should hypnotize Thorn Noir first, make him completely forget about Sienna, and then send him away.
I actually know a lot about this kind of thing.
If that doesn’t work, I can just dumb Thorn Noir down a bit. As long as his face is still good–looking, who cares if he’s still a sane guy?‘
“You little punk, you think you can land me? Please, I wouldn’t even spare a second glance at you. I’m way out of your league, brat–so no more wishful thinking. Demi scoffed, rolling her eyes as she let go of Thorn
She turned to Sienna Hazel Noir, don’t tell me you’re actually reluctant? I know you and my cousin are done for, and now you need my help with this deal I only want ten percent of the profits, and the condition is exactly what you said–a marriage alliance.”
Demi was never one for subtlety. She laid her terms out straight, no beating around the bush.
Sienna rubbed her belly. “Alright. Glad to do business with you. I’ll have him sent over to you tonight”
Demi broke into a wide grin. The moment she saw the photo, she was instantly smitten. ‘How could there be such a ridiculously handsome guy, and with that mature, magnetic vibe too?”
That face was absolutely flawless–even if she searched all over the world, she doubted she could find another man who checked all her boxes like this.
If she hadn’t been sure she and Sienna had never crossed paths before, she would have suspected Sienna picked him out just to match her tastes.
“Hope you don’t mind me asking, but is that guy a relative of yours!” Demi asked.
Sienna looked up at her, her eyes calm as still water. “He’s my father, she replied evenly.
Demi gasped. Her father?
‘She’s actually introducing me to her own dad?
‘Hazel Noir is really showing some serious sincerity here!‘
She honestly thought Sienna was just setting her up with some random relative at most
Thorn had been all set to complain, but when he heard Sienna was actually setting up Aiden, her own father, for a marriage alliance, he kept his mouth shut.
He stood quietly in the corner, afraid she’d drag him into a marriage
alliance too,
“Um… about your father… Demi started.
“My mother passed away years ago. He’s had a partner before. If you’re not happy with him, I can–Sienna said calmly.
“No, no, no, I’m very happy with him,” Demi quickly cut in, relieved by Hazel’s attitude.
She wondered, ‘I thought Hazel Noir would be super respectful toward her father. But from the way she acts, it’s obvious she doesn’t really care much about him. If anything, there’s a kind of distant indifference!
“I’ll be looking forward to your good news tonight. Honestly, I don’t really have any expectations–I just want to meet him,” Demi said
with a smile.
