Chapter 54 At Stake
The night on Lymoc Mountain was exceptionally dark, and even the air had become dry, cold and
damp.
Although Sienna had immediately dealt with the poisoned arrow, the toxin still lingered and spread through her flesh and blood, leaving her dazed and gradually slipping into a coma.
Sienna’s world was pitch black with no glimmer of light, only Adrian’s cruel face.
Donald rushed towards Sienna without stopping for a moment. He entered the mountains and lost signal on his phone, causing a sense of panic to surge within him.
“Sienna! You must not be in danger! After this, I will definitely take you home.”
Donald said with a menacing look in his eyes. He thought, “Why should the daughter of the Mckinney family suffer this ordeal? She was supposed to be a wealthy heiress.”
Donald regretted not telling the truth earlier, thinking that he should have told Sienna that her family was still there and the McKinney family could still be her support.
As the car sped away, the night seemed exceptionally long….
Meanwhile, Adrian had just landed in Italian and headed straight for the meeting place. His executive assistant hesitated for a moment as Marty read the message on his phone and wondered if he should tell Adrian, who was currently in a meeting.
Looking at the message Jeremy sent about Mrs. Olson, Marty felt extremely troubled.
Alexander, news from Jeremy says that Mrs. Olson has left the Olson manor…”
Seeing Alexander walking towards him, Marty felt like he had grasped a lifeline.
Upon hearing this, Alexander Walsh’s brows furrowed tightly. “What do you mean Mrs. Olson has
left the Olson manor?”
“Yes… Jeremy said it seems like something happened, and she left in a hurry, ignoring the objections of others.”
As soon as Marty finished speaking, Alexander felt that something was terribly wrong.
He turned his head towards Adrian, who was in a meeting, and after some hesitation, decided to
knock on the door and walk in.
Fearless, Alexander handed his phone to Adrian, and at that moment, the air seemed to stand still.
Adrian’s eyes fell upon the few lines of text on the phone screen, and his imposing presence suddenly lowered.
“Sienna has left?”

A strange feeling surged up in Adrian’s heart as he realized that something was not right.
The phone suddenly rang in the quiet conference room, making everyone, including the high-level executives attending the meeting, extremely nervous. The man sitting in front of them, who was known for his decisive and firm demeanor, had a sudden change in mood.
They were all afraid of Adrian.
“Mr. Olson, something terrible has happened. Mrs. Potter has been kidnapped by Mrs. Olson.”
The news sent Adrian into a frenzy.
“What?!”
“Mrs. Olson left the Olson manor for the night and Ms. Potter has gone missing. According to the surveillance footage, it appears that Mrs. Olson was the one who kidnapped her…”
The urgency in the ser vant’s voice was palpable.
Adrian hung up the phone, stood up with a sullen expression and declared, “I want a proposal within three days. If you can’t deliver, you’re out. Meeting adjourned.”
As Adrian left the meeting room in large strides, he tugged at his tie in frustration.
His mind raced with thoughts of Sienna and her unpredictable behavior. Ever since he had received the news, he had been feeling a different kind of emotion.
One that was difficult to describe but unmistakably different from his usual demeanor.
It mixed in with this was a sense of fear.
“Arrange for an immediate return to the country,” he ordered Alexander, unwilling to waste any
time.
Alexander thought, “If something had happened to Ms. Potter, there had to be a reason for his sudden change in attitude.” Within no time, his private jet had landed, and he was on his way to Lymoc Mountain.
Meanwhile, Sienna had been trapped for ten hours.
Meanwhile, Adrian’s slender fingers landed on the computer as he watched the video of the person wearing a hat who looked a lot like Sienna. The image kept appearing in his mind.
Adrian thought to himself, “Did Sienna kidnap Janice?”
As soon as the plane landed, someone was there to pick them up. Jeremy stood there, looking
serious.

“Mr. Olson…”
“They went to Lymoc Mountain?”
Adrian’s cold voice sounded, and his expression was unreadable, but it was clear that he was on the
edge of anger.
“Yes… Mrs. Olson seems to have taken Mrs. McKinney’s ashes with her.”
This sentence made Adrian’s eyes cold.
The whole situation was that Sienna stole the urn and kidnapped Janice.
Sienna was truly wicked, just as I suspected. Adrian organized a team and headed straight for Lymoc Mountain, eager to see just how much trouble Sienna could cause.
Donald was frantically searching, but he was also unfamiliar with the roads of Lymoc Mountain. His anxiety made him uneasy.
“Sienna! Where are you?”
He shouted, but all he received in response was the dry, cold air.
As he climbed higher, the terrain became more complex.
Donald didn’t dare waste a second. He calculated the time and knew that Sienna had been missing
for 15 hours.
At this moment, Sienna’s forehead was covered in sweat as she abruptly woke up from a nightmare. The exhaustion she felt was so overwhelming that even opening her eyes required effort.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps between leaves and shone onto her face. Sienna was too weak to make any sound. The poison had not killed her, but it had inflicted great torment upon her.
Unbeknownst to Sienna, Janice, who had also disappeared, appeared not far away.
Janice was dressed in tattered white robes, with several masked men standing beside her.
“Where is their car?”
Janice looked over at the weakened Sienna by the tree and spoke with great satisfaction.
It was all part of her plan.
“They are already here,” the man replied to her question.
Janice smiled. “It’s time to light the final torch, Mrs. Olson. Let me use you one last time. It’s time
for
you to die in peace.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the men immediately lit their torches and threw them in different

In her state of unconsciousness, Sienna felt a sharp pain in her hand. She tried hard to open her eyes and saw that Janice was stepping on her hand.
“Are you surprised, Sienna? I found it before you did,” Janice boasted, waving the box in her hand.
In an instant, Sienna woke up and understood exactly what was in the box.
“You really are foolish. Adrian was right. You are a crazy woman. You dare to do anything.
“How about it? Do you still like the grand adventure we designed for you?”
Janice said as she continued to crush Sienna’s hand. Meanwhile, Sienna felt no pain and remained Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
still.
However, Janice’s words once again caused her heart to throb uncontrollably..
Adrian designed all of this?
Were they all just fooling me?
The smoke billowed and flames raged.
In a matter of moments, the fire had nearly engulfed the entire area.
Donald, Adrian, and the others also noticed the blaze and hurried towards the scene.
Janice smiled, admiring her handiwork, feeling that everything was flawless.
Sienna looked down, unable to react due to the exhaustion of a day and a night, but the resentment
in her heart had reached its peak.
“Adrian! Save me!”
At the same time, Janice shouted hoar sely and rushed into another ring of fire as if her life
depended on it.
The flames raged like a ferocious beast, burning relentlessly.
