CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: YOU OWE ME AN EXPLANATION!

"Sienna Quinn, after all these years, I couldn’t see your progress, but now I realize your sharp tongue has truly become quite cutting. You’ve certainly grown in skill."

Nolan Shaw stood aside, watching Sienna Quinn refuse to back down, and the unusually angry Landon Lawson, so frightened he broke into a cold sweat, dampening his entire back.

Landon Lawson turned his head, speaking slowly, "Arrange Jason and his team properly, but don’t interfere with the matters here."

"President Lawson..." Nolan Shaw looked at the enraged Landon Lawson; his icy gaze silenced all words Nolan wanted to say, forcing him to swallow them back and turn towards Jason.

Jason heard Nolan’s English, raised an eyebrow, but refrained from meddling further, merely casting a few more glances at the trio before leaving.

Danielle Carter stood nearby, in a dilemma, unable to leave Sienna Quinn alone in this situation.

"You’re not leaving?"

Landon Lawson squinted at Danielle Carter.

Her body suddenly stiffened, frozen on the spot, facing the man’s cold, merciless eyes, aware now of his frightening nature.

Sienna Quinn squinted, scoffing coldly.

"President Lawson indeed, yelling at women too."

Landon Lawson squinted, applying more pressure with his hand, just as a surprised voice rang behind him.

"President Lawson! Sienna!"

Axel Yates arrived after receiving Danielle’s text, his attractive brows furrowed together; he had rushed over immediately upon receiving it, fortunately not far away.

Stepping forward, he pulled Sienna’s wrist carefully from Landon Lawson’s grip.

Landon’s pupils contracted, his gaze fixed on their tight grips, slightly twitching at the corner of his eye.

"Seems Miss Quinn hasn’t learned much else over the years, but her temper and ability to attract men have surely grown."

"That’s not your concern, President Lawson. Focus on your own affairs."

Axel Yates eschewed his usual elegance, narrowing his eyes at Landon Lawson, bewildered at how a man could lay hands on a woman, yet unaware of the misunderstood words and failing to realize Landon had misjudged the two.

Landon Lawson’s eyes narrowed slightly as he closely examined Axel Yates.

The atmosphere, charged with tension, saw Vera Yates quietly grip Landon’s sleeve, tearfully pouting her lips.

"Stephen, I want to go home."

"Alright!"

Vera Yates nestled in Landon Lawson’s embrace, eyes filled with mockery, victorious in this confrontation, managing to make him believe Sienna was a wanton woman, skilled at both acting and attracting numerous men.

Vera genuinely felt grateful to Axel Yates for coming over, unintentionally adding fuel to her fire.

Expressionless, Landon Lawson left with Vera Yates, whispering to Sienna as they passed, "You owe me an explanation."

Then departed without turning back.

Explanation? Sienna found it amusing, was it not he who owed her countless explanations?

Distracted, Sienna felt Axel crouch down, scrutinizing the scratches on her arm, his eyes brewing anger, "Did Landon Lawson hit you?"

Snapped back to reality, Sienna saw Axel focusing on her arm.

She saw a hint of anger in his usually serene eyes, witnessing Axel’s rare fury for the first time.

"He didn’t hit me, I accidentally bumped into something myself," Sienna smiled and shook her head.

Axel could see her wounded arm; couldn’t Landon Lawson?

In his eyes, it had always been only Vera Yates, five years ago and still now.

"What happened earlier?" Axel asked, seeing the wronged woman, feeling blocked inside; he had invited her back but now witnessed her bullied, how could he be at ease?

"Nothing, don’t worry about it!" Sienna quietly cursed herself for her foolishness.

Axel was curious about the earlier conflict, but seeing Sienna’s reluctance to speak, he let it go.

"Why are you here?" Now it was Sienna’s turn to ask; how coincidentally he showed up right as problems arose on her end.

Danielle Carter approached, carefully inspecting Sienna, squeezing her eyes with tears, pitifully saying, "President Quinn, I texted President Yates. Just now President Lawson was terrifying, I really..."

The girl began to cry; evidently, it was her first time through such an ordeal, especially against Landon Lawson’s overwhelming presence, not something a young girl could defeat.

Even she had felt perturbed; a man who once could harm her five years ago could easily do so again.

"It’s alright, I don’t blame you."

"President Quinn, you’re not mad at me?" Danielle wiped her tears, seeing Sienna’s own teary eyes, gently wiping them. Sienna smiled and nodded, easing Danielle’s guilt.

Axel’s gaze remained on Sienna’s arm, frowning, "You should have your arm checked at the hospital, I wouldn’t want it said that my new employee got injured on the job, implying I’m mistreating staff."

Especially considering that man in France; the mere thought of Felix Orwell left Axel helpless.

Despite having left, Felix still phoned Axel daily, consistently inquiring about Sienna, repeatedly urging him not to let her suffer, implicitly advising to keep Landon Lawson away from her.

Initially puzzled, Axel finally understood today.

"My arm’s fine, no need to... uh."

Sienna originally smiled, waving her arm while claiming she need not go to the hospital; alas, this movement strained the injured area, causing her pretty face to wrinkle with pain.

All previous Jackwoods had hilight in front of Landon Lawson was now loosed.

Seeing the woman grimace in pain, Axel Yates couldn’t fathom how the stubborn woman managed to endure,

Standing firm before Landon Lawson, refusing to show any weakness whatsoever!
