Seeing his daughter’s eyes filled with hatred, Stanley anxiously held her hands and urged, “Sienna, promise me, don’t confront Adrian head on!”
The current Mckinney family was nothing like it used to be, with only Sienna left, alone and suffering from humiliation and decline.
Under such circumstances, there was no way Sienna could stand up against Adrian. She was like an ant held in one’s hand, easily crushed with just a little force.
Stanley himself was still in prison, unable to protect himself, let alone his daughter, Sienna.
His wife had passed away, and he didn’t want his precious daughter to be persecuted, losing any chance to see her again.
“Remember! Be patient in all things. Even if Adrian says something, don’t argue with him! Just go along with his wishes, and he might consider your marital relationship and not be too harsh!”
Stanley’s thinking was naive, believing that compliance could soften Adrian’s heart.
Sienna had once thought the same, but reality had given her a harsh slap, teaching her how to write the word “reality.”
Compliance would not restrain Adrian, but instead, make him even more ruthless.
Sienna was trampled under his feet, experiencing unimaginable pain, already exhausted beyond
words.
If this continued, she might not even survive, let alone stubbornly stick to the old path.
“Dad, don’t worry,” Sienna outwardly agreed, putting Stanley’s heart at ease. “I will take care of myself and not let the Mckinney family destroy.”
Sienna would support the Mckinney family until Stanley was cleared of the charges and released from prison.
“Good, good.” Stanley nodded, tears streaming down his face as he touched Sienna’s pale cheek. “Look at you. Why aren’t you taking care of your own health?”
“Your complexion looks so bad. You must have suffered a lot.”
Stanley didn’t know Sienna had just come from the hospital, so of course, she didn’t look well.
“I haven’t suffered. I just missed you too much. You must take care of yourself, and I will find a way to get you out of here!”
No matter how difficult the road ahead, Sienna would walk it.

“Sienna,” Donald, who was standing nearby, quietly reminded her, “It’s time.”
“So soon…”
Sienna hesitated, holding Stanley’s cracked hands and unwilling to let go. “Dad, I will find a way to come again. Take care! I will save you!”
“Just take care of yourself, and I will be satisfied!”
Stanley also urged anxiously, “Don’t worry about me, I am fine here!”
The prison guard separated them, and Sienna and Donald had no choice but to watch Stanley being taken away.
Could Stanley be fine here?
Sienna thought about these words, feeling depressed. There couldn’t be anything good about staying in prison, but Stanley said it to comfort her.
Knowing that he was talking nonsense, he still tried to make her take care of herself.
Sienna touched her wet cheek and turned away, not wanting Donald to see her like this.
Donald handed her a tissue and whispered, “You didn’t care when you were crying earlier, so why do you care now?”
“Wipe your tears. Your eyes are swollen from crying.”
“Thank you,” Sienna replied softly.
She indeed owed Donald gratitude. If not for Donald’s help, she couldn’t have seen Stanley after so long.
Moreover, to go against Adrian was a difficult and dangerous task in itself.
“It’s okay. At least, seeing Stanley can put your mind at ease.”
Donald could empathize with Sienna’s feelings. If he were in her shoes, he wouldn’t know if he could bear the drastic changes at home either.
Sienna’s resilience was truly remarkable, and Donald wished he had found her sooner to protect,
her.
‘Continuing like this won’t work.” Sienna shook her head, filled with worry. “Adrian won’t leave the Mckinney family alone!”
With every day that Stanley spent in prison, the danger grew.
No one knew what could happen or when Adrian might target Stanley. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Lara was dead, and Sienna was determined not to let the same happen to Stanley.
“Don’t worry too much.” Donald saw the anxiety on Sienna’s face and tried to calm her down. “If you lose your composure, what will happen to your father?”
“You must take care of your own matters before you can attend to others.”
Donald’s words made sense. Sienna had been too anxious and forgot that what she needed most was
to stay calm.
She needed to find a way to protect both the Mckinney family and Stanley.
She wanted Stanley to return home safely and back to her side.

“I was too anxious.” Sienna admitted and was grateful for Donald’s reminders. “I lost control of my emotions today.”
But Donald didn’t think Sienna was emotionally unstable. Anyone in her position would struggle to
remain unaffected.
Having gone through such an ordeal, it was impressive that she could still hold herself together.
“You’re doing well.” Donald gently patted Sienna’s head, smiling warmly. “Don’t be too hard on yourself. Relax, and things will gradually improve.”
No matter what Adrian had planned, Donald wouldn’t let him succeed.
Donald found Sienna late, but his desire to protect her only grew stronger.
Sienna nodded absentmindedly as if not fully listening to what Donald was saying.
After seeing Stanley, Sienna’s determination to fight back intensified. She couldn’t allow herself to be weak any longer. She had to strive to change the situation and support the Mckinney family.
If she were stronger, Stanley wouldn’t suffer such harsh treatment, and Lara’s grudge could be avenged.
“Mr. Read.” Sienna looked up at Donald with unwavering resolve. “I can endure any hardship at work. I want to learn more. I can’t just do menial tasks.”
Sienna knew menial work had its value, but her ambition lay elsewhere. She was determined to. climb higher and reach for broader horizons.
Donald, seeing her persistence, contemplated for a moment before responding, “Alright, if you can handle
your current work and still have the energy, I’ll let them teach you some other tasks.”
“But you can’t neglect your assistant duties, thinking they’re menial and unchallenging. Can you do
that?”
Of course, Sienna had never slacked off just because she was an assistant. She would always strive to do her best in everything.
