CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 316: LET’S SEE HOW YOU COMPETE WITH ME

Sienna Quinn sat alone at the dining table eating, without any appetite today. Could it be because that person is not around?

But, she had been living like this for five years, with only Evan Quinn by her side. During these five years, Landon Lawson had never appeared.

This life, logically, should be the life she has adapted to. Could just a few days of Landon Lawson’s company make her feel uneasy? She’s not that kind of sentimental person.

Sienna touched her stomach. She found out online that the early symptoms of pregnancy are quite strange and can be quite strong. Perhaps it’s because of the baby.

Sienna gently patted her belly twice, trying to calm the little one inside.

The old butler also clearly noticed that without Landon Lawson’s presence, Sienna seemed to have no appetite. Unwilling to see her disappointed, he approached proactively.

"Miss Quinn, the young master called earlier. He said he has to accompany a client at noon, so he won’t be coming back. So you..."

Sienna smiled and said, "Hmm, I know, it’s okay."

How could Sienna not see that the old butler was comforting her?

But such consolation meant nothing to Sienna.

Though she felt it was meaningless, her heart still ached.

Sure enough, pregnant women are prone to sentimentality, especially someone like her seeking revenge, all the bitterness erupted at this moment.

The grievances of the past life and the hardships of this life all surged forth. Thinking about it, Sienna wanted to cry. She took a big bite of food, swallowing her tears and woes. She absolutely couldn’t let anyone notice her abnormality.

The tears in Sienna’s eyes were visible to the old butler, who tactfully left, and after a few minutes, he excitedly came back.

Not long after, the doorbell of the villa rang.

"Miss Quinn, see who has come." The old butler said with a smile.

Sienna heard the old butler’s words and looked up to see a woman in a business suit walking towards her.

"Chiara, what are you doing here?" Sienna said, surprised.

Chiara Thorne looked at Sienna, her brows furrowed slightly, glanced at the old butler who stood by, and he wisely left.

"You haven’t been seen these days, what’s going on? You haven’t been to the company either." Chiara frowned, having worked with Sienna for so many years, she knew her character; Sienna wasn’t someone who would neglect company matters for personal reasons.

Sienna looked around. Since Landon Lawson’s accident, she had only been to the company a couple of times, spending these days recuperating at the Lawson estate.

"Landon Lawson got injured saving me."

"I know about that, but what’s wrong with you?" Although Chiara’s skills weren’t as good as Sienna’s, after working by her side for many years, she could still see Sienna’s abnormality.

Sienna said softly, "Chiara, I can’t quite understand my own heart."

"Can’t understand? What’s going on?" Chiara had come to find Sienna today partly because she couldn’t reach her, but also for another reason.

During the days they couldn’t see Sienna, none of them likely knew more than Felix Orwell.

These days, ever since Sienna handed Evan to Felix Orwell to take care of, it was as if she had disappeared into thin air. After much inquiry, they found out she was staying at the Lawson villa.

So, they had Chiara visit as soon as possible.

Sienna looked at the woman in front of her, as the strong facade on her exquisite little face instantly collapsed, her eyes carrying a glimmer of tears.

"Chiara, whatever I tell you, don’t tell anyone else."

"Okay!" Chiara sat down.

"I want to get back together with Landon Lawson."

"What?"

Chiara had just sat down but immediately stood up, looking at Sienna in shock. Did she know she was speaking nonsense?

"Do you know what you’re saying?"

Sienna’s life these past five years, the grudges she held inside, Chiara knew all too well, including her main purpose of coming back from France, which was to reclaim everything. Had Sienna forgotten the suffering she endured at the Lawson family?

Sienna forced a bitter smile. She knew Chiara would react like this, and she knew what her reaction would be hearing her say this, which is why she hadn’t mentioned this to Chiara or Sean Carter for such a long time.

"I know what I’m saying, and I’ve been thinking about it for a long time." Sienna took a deep breath and spoke the words that weighed on her heart.

"This time back, you saw everything Landon Lawson did for me and Chloe." Sienna slowly said.

Chiara’s heart trembled, and she could indeed see what Sienna was talking about.

But no matter how well Landon Lawson did, it was still an atonement!

"President Quinn, you haven’t forgotten the purpose of coming back this time, have you?" Chiara gently reminded her; the great revenge remained unrepaid, so how could they discuss personal emotions?

Moreover, who was responsible for Sienna’s current situation? It was Landon Lawson.

It was his inaction, his lack of discernment.

Looking at Chiara’s darkened expression, Sienna wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "Let’s not talk about it for now."

With that, she took Chiara’s hand to the living room to show her what she was eating.

"President Quinn, is this all you’re eating?" Chiara said, looking at the simple stir-fried greens on the table, clearly surprised. The old Sienna relished meat and spicy food alike.

Sienna nodded with a smile, "Yes, I’ve found that I’ve gained quite a bit of weight, so I’m dieting. Eating more greens is good; it supplements dietary fiber."

"Even dieting, you shouldn’t always eat such non-nutritious things. Let’s go out to eat." Chiara said reproachfully.

About the Lawson matters, Chiara didn’t want to say anything, nor could she, as it involved Sienna’s emotions. But as a friend, she felt heartache for Sienna.

Sienna quickly stopped Chiara. It’s not that she didn’t want to eat well; it was just that her morning sickness was severe, and she couldn’t help but vomit at the sight of meat.

To avoid others noticing anything unusual, she endured it with difficulty. 278

"President Quinn, when will you return to the company?"

"I’ll be back by tomorrow." Sienna said slowly. Some things were still not finished. Ever since Axel Yates injured Landon Lawson last time, he hadn’t appeared again.

Consequently, the Yates Group had also calmed down quite a bit.

Sienna furrowed her brow, "Hasn’t the Grant Family released any news yet?"

Miles Grant had passed away some time ago, but the Grant family hadn’t released any information about it. Even the funeral wasn’t mentioned. To this day, the public still didn’t know about Miles Grant’s death.

How much longer could the Grant family hide this matter?

"President Quinn, the Grant family has been unusually calm lately, with no news coming out."

"They really can endure; I never thought they could even keep Miles Grant’s death a secret."

Sienna sneered. This Grant family didn’t seem so solid after all. Their only son died mysteriously, yet they didn’t even investigate. They really knew how to keep their composure.
