Chapter 1299 I Swear
“My child is about to be born, and I don't want to die, nor do I want to go to jail.”
Ashlyn stared at Sienna in silence. “I don't like doing losing deals, Sienna. If you genuinely want my help and are truly repentant, show it through actions. Words alone won't cut it.”
“You can trust me. I won't let you down. I swear, if I betray you, I'll suffer in hell,” Sienna hastily reassured.
“You don't need to swear. Time will reveal one's true intentions,” Ashlyn said, glancing out of the window.
Outside, Lucas had been waiting impatiently, growing increasingly anxious.
Sienna is a master of persuasion with her glib tongue. She had swindled many wealthy women in the past, and now...
After he waited a few more minutes, the door was opened again.
Ashlyn emerged, holding a folder. She looked at Spencer with a stoic expression. “Mr. White, help me with something.”
“Of course, Ms. Berry. Just tell me what you need.”
An hour later, they presented their plan to develop this place into a hot spring resort to the village chief, along with detailed compensation details.
After completing all the tasks, they left with Sienna.
Once they left the secluded village, they drove smoothly on the highway.
As Spencer drove, he contemplated the task Ashlyn had given him.
To his surprise, it involved taking Sienna with them.
They had brought along their men on this trip, so Sienna was in the car behind theirs.
He was utterly baffled. Never mind if we coincidentally saved Sienna. Why are we taking her with us?
After a brief hesitation, he spoke up. “Ms. Berry—”
Ashlyn promptly interjected, “This contains the evidence of Dixon's wrongdoings. Inside are all the substantiations of how Haddock Group Foundation unlawfully accumulated wealth, along with instances of embezzlement from public funds by Haddock Group.”
“Sienna provided these?” Spencer was taken aback.
Lucas, too, couldn't believe that Sienna had handed over evidence against Dixon. “Why would she willingly do that?”
“For the sake of her child, she's willing to do anything,” Ashlyn replied with a smirk. “She's just trying to survive, and I want the evidence. We each get what we need.”
She was no sanctimonious b*tch, after all.
“How do you plan to deal with her?” Lucas's voice remained emotionless but had a deep, magnetic quality that was hard to resist.
Ashlyn lifted her eyes to the man's familiar face bathed in the gentle morning sunlight. His aura blended elegance and detachment. His slender lips barely parted, hinting at a touch of disinterest.
However, his handsomeness was unquestionable, remarkably so.
“I have a place in mind that she might like.”
“What place?” Lucas inquired.
Ashlyn raised her phone, showing a text message she had sent to Yuri.
“Zaewora?” Lucas frowned.
“Mm.”
Ashlyn nodded. “She has about half a month until her due date, and Yuri is also a mother who can impart some experience. If Sienna truly reforms and turns over a new leaf, it's for the best. But if she can't... well, don't blame me if I have to be less merciful and make her disappear from this world. As for her son, if he is raised properly from a young age, he should turn out fine.”
“Then ask Yuri to keep a closer eye on her.”
Lucas agreed with her plan.
Sienna was a cunning woman. It was hard to fathom her mind. If she remained obedient, they didn't mind sparing her life.
However, if she had the guts to cross the line, he would definitely eliminate her to avoid future troubles.
He would never let his wife's hands be tainted. If it came to that, he would take care of it himself.
In a somewhat remote plastic surgery clinic in Jadeborough, a doctor slowly removed the bandages from the man's face on the operating table. “Sir, we've done as you requested, and the recovery is going quite well.”
