CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 81: REPUTATION

Leanne was momentarily stunned, not expecting Simon Forrester to ask such a question, and instinctively denied it.

Simon Forrester’s gaze was icy, his eyes slightly narrowed in warning: "Whether you caused this, I will find out. But I warn you, you better not pull any stunts again, the consequences are beyond what you can bear."

Three weeks ago, just after Leanne appeared at Sienna Thornton’s home, Mrs. Reed came knocking the next day. Simon Forrester wasn’t certain this had anything to do with Leanne, but she had just brought up Sienna Thornton’s injury.

Even for Thomas Reed, he probably wouldn’t have known what happened until he was in the detention center and saw Mrs. Reed. Yet, as a mere secretary, she received the news so quickly? Which channel did she learn it from?

The only possibility is that she’s been in contact with Mrs. Reed all along, and the two even frequently exchanged information.

Possibly because Simon Forrester saw through her, Leanne felt awkward, muttered, "You misunderstood," and left the reception room quickly.

Not long after, Thomas Reed rushed in, covered in dust. Upon seeing Simon Forrester, he slammed the door shut and loudly questioned, "Why did you lie about marrying Sienna? She’s a girl with a spotless reputation!"

Simon Forrester initially intended to clarify, but seeing his rudeness, he sarcastically retorted: "How do you know I’m lying? Didn’t you show the marriage certificate to your lunatic wife?"

Thomas Reed’s eyes reddened with anger, as he grabbed Simon Forrester by the collar.

"Let go!" Simon Forrester shook his hand off, "It was you and your wife who ruined Sienna Thornton’s reputation, and now you have the nerve to mention reputation?"

Thomas Reed said dejectedly, "I didn’t mean to do this, and all these years, I’ve never told anyone about it."

"If that’s the case, then you should continue to keep your mouth shut!"

Simon Forrester straightened his clothes, walked to the window, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then slowly exhaled, quietly watching the skyscrapers of Brimfield outside, calming down a bit, and coldly smirked: "Your wife is quite bold, using violence in my place? This time, I will get to the bottom of it. You better stay out of it."

"If you’d told me Sienna was living with you last time, and I had taken her away in time, would things have ended like this?"

"Is your brain filled with water?" Simon Forrester aggressively stubbed out his cigarette, his icy gaze sweeping over, "If Sienna Thornton had been found at your place today, do you think she would just have a scratched face?"

These words left Thomas Reed looking ashen.

Simon Forrester suppressed his disgust, his expression returning to his usual cold arrogance, and without another word, got straight to the point: "My house key card should be returned to me."

"The key card is evidence and has been temporarily confiscated."

Without obtaining what he came for, Simon Forrester straightened his clothes, intending to leave.

Just as he placed his hand on the handle, he suddenly heard Thomas Reed ask: "How’s Sienna now? Where is she?"

Simon Forrester didn’t look back, a cold smile on his lips: "That’s none of your concern."

In the elevator, he glanced down at his watch. It had been fifteen minutes since Thomas Reed entered, and apart from a meaningless confrontation with him, his main concerns were Sienna Thornton’s reputation and blaming him for taking Sienna in. All he could talk about was how Sienna could no longer be considered a girl with a simple romantic past.

Knowing that at such a dangerous moment, he had no choice but to claim to be married to Sienna Thornton so that she might turn the danger into safety, yet Thomas Reed still stubbornly insisted, blaming him for using such a method to save Sienna Thornton.

Simon Forrester coldly laughed, as before the ethereal reputation, the safety and health of Sienna Thornton seemed not important at all.

What kind of love is this? All they see is Sienna Thornton’s youthful beauty and spotless reputation.

Simon Forrester and Thomas Reed grew up together; no one knows his temperament better than him. He even felt that if Sienna Thornton didn’t distance herself from this person, she’d end up destroying herself.
