The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1011: Not a Selfish Mother

Adrian Desmond now regrets it immensely; he didn’t kill Night Owl before, and it’s left him with such a huge problem.

"Then keep a close watch on Doctor X. If Doctor X is still allied with Night Owl, they will contact each other sooner or later," Sienna Johnson reminded Adrian Desmond.

"Hmm." Adrian Desmond deployed ten people to watch Doctor X closely, just waiting for him to contact Night Owl, so they could track down Night Owl’s hiding place.

"I suddenly feel that my current troubles don’t even compare to yours," Sienna Johnson said.

"It’s just a cat and mouse game; no matter how cunning the mouse is, it will be caught by the cat," Adrian Desmond replied.

Sienna Johnson feared Adrian Desmond might be careless and reminded him, "Don’t underestimate them; they aren’t easy to deal with. No matter what, don’t let yourself get hurt."

"I know."

They talked for a while longer, and realizing she had been out for too long, Sienna Johnson ended the call.

Walking back and entering the room, she found the two people drunk and asleep on the table, with a whole table of food untouched.

Sienna Johnson couldn’t comprehend why those drinks were so appealing to them.

She asked Sally and Clinton West to carry them to the car.

Clinton West’s original code name was 009, and Sienna Johnson couldn’t distinguish between 001 and 100, so she simply let the few numbered guys by her side name themselves.

Each was sent home individually, conveniently picking Melly up from Sister Harper’s place.

Sienna Johnson asked, "How much did you lose?"

"About 15 thousand. Madam, if you hadn’t come, I might have lost 150 thousand dollars tonight," Melly replied.

Melly was introduced to Orienta’s mahjong and immediately fell in love with the game, spending her free time in the courtyard playing with the older ladies, occasionally winning something from them.

"Sally, give Melly the money when you get back."

"Okay."

"Are you and Reggie Dewey together?" Sienna Johnson asked.

"Yes."

Sienna Johnson looked at Melly; the two of them seemed like such an odd pair. Melly was stunningly beautiful and sharp-witted, while Reggie Dewey was a bit of a short bookworm with a somewhat pedantic personality.

Initially, Reggie Dewey was attracted to Melly’s beauty, but later, who knows what happened, he suddenly said he didn’t like her anymore. Then somehow, they got back together.

"Orienta isn’t like Abyanabad. If you don’t get married and have a child later, it will be troublesome. Since you’re together, get your certificates and have a wedding banquet to let everyone know you’re together."

"Will you give me red envelopes?" Melly laughed.

"Yes."

"Madam, will you and Sixth Master give me two red envelopes? How much will you give?" Melly calculated.

"Red envelopes are given per family. Adrian Desmond and I are one family, so we’ll only give one red envelope."

"Madam, you’re so stingy."

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. That’s the custom in Abyanabad. Since you’re marrying a man from Orienta, you naturally follow our customs."

Melly looked at Sally and asked, "Sally, we’re best friends. When I get married, give me a bigger red envelope."

Sally refused, "I’m saving money to buy a house, so I can’t give you much."

"You all are so stingy. ... Why are you buying a house?"

"I want to settle down here."

"You can live with the Johnson Family, can’t you?"

"Once I’m married, I can’t live there anymore."

Melly looked at Sally in surprise, "Who have you taken a liking to?"

Sienna Johnson said, "She’s taken a liking to my brother."

"Madam, don’t you not have a brother? Don’t you only have a sister?"

"My adoptive mother’s son."

Melly looked at Sally’s expressionless face, incredulous, "Orienta men must be charming, even our Sally has become infatuated."

Sienna Johnson asked, "Does my brother know you like him?"

"No."

Sienna Johnson: ...

Melly said, "I thought you were getting married, but it turns out he doesn’t know how you feel? This... I don’t even know what to say."

"I’ll give you a few days off to solve your personal matters. But mind you, my brother can be a bit slow sometimes."

"Okay."

Melly whispered in Sally’s ear, making her blush.

...

A week later, Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory had its closure lifted.

Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory had been shut down for nearly a month, resulting in significant losses. Despite the official website stating that Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory had nothing to do with the virus outbreak, its reputation was inevitably affected.

But that wasn’t the worst of it. The worst was when the hospital revealed that the Boss of Eastminster Group had selfishly and without regard for public safety taken away his infected daughter during the outbreak.

"President Johnson, you must make an appearance. If these rumors continue, who knows what they’ll turn into," Preston Keller advised.

"I can’t expose my daughter."

Preston Keller suggested that Sienna Johnson appear on a TV interview with Curly and explain that they were able to develop a virus antibody quickly because Curly was used as a test subject.

How could such a thing be said arbitrarily?

If Curly knew, she would be heartbroken. Although Adrian Desmond did indeed test medicines on infected individuals at the time, it wasn’t Curly.

"If Curly comes forward, it will be more convincing. President Johnson, you need to consider the bigger picture."

Sienna Johnson refused, "I can handle the interview alone. Not my daughter! Moreover, I didn’t use my daughter as a test subject. That’s my daughter; I don’t want to use even her."

"President Johnson..."

"If there’s nothing else, you may leave now," Sienna Johnson didn’t want to discuss it further.

Preston Keller glanced at Sienna Johnson, seeing her determination, and remarked, "Sometimes women can’t avoid their benevolence."

"Go and ask your mother if she’d use you for profit."

Preston Keller got up and left without a word.

Tessa Harrington came in, almost bumping into Preston Keller, and seeing his livid face, muttered, "What’s happened to him?"

Tessa entered, placed the contracts that needed signing in front of Sienna Johnson, and asked, "What’s up with Assistant Li?"

"I’m afraid our little place can’t contain such a grand personage as Assistant Li."

"What do you mean?"

"Too many ideas!"

"What do you mean?"

Sienna Johnson, however, refused to say more and focused on her work. Her efficiency was particularly high these days, trying to finish work as quickly as possible to spend time with her children at home.

As the end of the workday approached, Curly called Sienna Johnson and said she wanted Harris’s roast duck, asking her to bring some home.

Sienna Johnson wrapped up her work and took the elevator downstairs.

Adrian Desmond had the special elevator for Sienna Johnson modified; apart from Sienna and the bodyguard, no one else could use it.

Exiting the elevator and reaching the company entrance, a black car stopped in front of Sienna Johnson. Sally, seeing it wasn’t Sienna’s car, protected her behind her.

A woman stepped out of the car, and it was Hilda Potter.
