CHAPTER 434: CHAPTER 434: THE LAST PHONE CALL

After listening to everything Sienna Quinn said, he was instantly able to grasp the main points.

Sienna Quinn’s lips slightly pursed, and she softly hummed.

"Do you think the two of them should be brought to justice?"

"I think they should pay for the sins they committed back then."

If repentance were enough, then what would society need laws for? Can the dead really come back to life?

Some wounds, once inflicted, cannot be healed.

Even if Tom Quinn now feels regret every day, it won’t change how Sienna has been living in the shadow of her parents’ death for these five years...

Just like when she heard of Chapman’s death, all she felt was a sense of great relief, after all, that man’s atrocious acts were far too many...

How many lives were lost at his hands? If he doesn’t pay the price, what justice is there in society?

Landon Lawson listened to Sienna’s firm words, and the worry between his brows finally eased at this moment. At least this girl had her own thoughts, as long as she stayed true to herself... everything else was insignificant.

"Since you already know what you’re capable of bearing, why are you still worried? Just follow your heart and do what’s right, just so you can give your parents an explanation."

The man’s words were exceptionally cold, yet every word resonated with Sienna’s heart, as if they finally unraveled the doubts that had lingered in her mind.

The once furrowed brow gradually relaxed...

"Thank you!"

"You’re welcome."

The man’s voice still carried no emotion, yet at this moment, Sienna felt extraordinarily relieved, as this matter had troubled her for a long time, and her answer was found with Landon...

"Since there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."

"Wait..."

Landon Lawson: "..."

Sienna gently bit her lips. She didn’t know how that word slipped out of her mouth, but at the moment Landon was about to hang up, she felt a little panicked...

She just wanted to hear this man’s voice, even for a second longer...

"Are you busy right now?"

Sienna asked cautiously, seeing that the call wasn’t ended yet.

"It’s okay."

"If you’re not too busy, could you stay and chat with me a little more? I won’t take much of your time, and this might be the last conversation between us."

Sienna’s voice held a faint trace of melancholy, yet the man’s brow slightly furrowed. To be honest, he too wanted to continue talking with her.

He was not content with just a phone call... he hoped with all his heart that Sienna was right there beside him, so he could hold her close and breathe in the fragrance from her hair...

At least that way, he would feel at peace.

But their current situation didn’t allow for too much contact between them. He feared that his tenderness for Sienna would give her the hope that they still had a chance, which would lead her closer to him and put her in danger...

Because currently, he’s the main target of attack for Donovan Shawcross and Axel Yates...

He’s not really afraid of anything now, even if he were to fail in the battle against Donovan Shawcross, so what?

The worst outcome would be death.

But he absolutely cannot allow any harm to come to his woman and child.

This is his responsibility as a man...

Initially, he wanted to refuse Sienna, but hearing the pleading tone in her voice, could he really harden his heart?

Maybe... they could indulge just this once...

Just this once wouldn’t affect his plans.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Just idle chatter with you, after all, this should be our last conversation."

The woman’s voice carried a faint trace of melancholy.

"Alright! This will be our last phone call."

That exceptionally cold voice made Sienna’s body tremble slightly, and her eyes glimmered with a faint tear.

Does he really want to sever ties with her that badly? His distant attitude was so cold that Sienna began to wonder if this was really the man who loved her so deeply just half a month ago?

All kinds of doubts swirled in Sienna’s heart, yet at that moment, Vera Yates’ words suddenly surfaced in her mind...

Could something really have happened to Landon?

The woman’s beautiful eyes kept changing as her brain raced to ponder the current situation.

If Landon indeed encountered something difficult, this could explain why he’s so eager to cut ties with her?

Maybe he did it to protect her and Evan Quinn...

If that’s the case, she would be angry with Landon instead...

They’re all family, so why can’t they face difficulties together?

Is this how Landon sees her...

A faint bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face, but maybe she could get a clue from tonight’s conversation with Landon.

"Alright, I promise you, today is the last time I’ll talk to you. From now on, I won’t bother you in your life anymore."

"I’m glad you understand. I hope both of us can start new lives."

Listening to the man’s reply, Sienna’s pupils constricted slightly.

"I’ll do whatever you say."

"Then just say what you want quickly, it’s already late."

Listening to the man’s cold voice, Sienna engaged in a somewhat random and aimless conversation with him.

After a two-hour chat.

Suspicion in Landon’s eyes grew even more intense...

Although they had just spoken for two hours, and it seemed like nothing important was said, Landon detected a hint of oddness.

Perhaps Sienna already had some suspicions about his current situation.

Was it Evan Quinn who went back and told her?

Thinking of this, he directed all his anger towards Nolan Shaw.

If it weren’t for his reckless talk with Evan Quinn, Sienna probably wouldn’t have any suspicions now.

"We’ve been chatting for two hours, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll hang up first."

"Wait..."

Sienna gently bit her lips, a strong reluctance showing on her beautiful face. If possible, she truly hoped that their conversation would never end.
