Bonnie’s sudden appearance took Sienna aback.
After regaining her composure, she stood with her hands on her hips. “What do you mean? Is this road your private property?”
Bonnie remained silent. She looked deeply at Sienna for a moment before turning away and quickly walking in the opposite direction. Sienna followed closely behind, sticking to her like glue.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Bonnie’s eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. She had to stop and turn around to look at Sienna.
“Where I’m going next isn’t suitable for you. Stop following me and go back quickly.”
Sienna raised her chin defiantly and refused to admit defeat.
“Who said I’m following you? This road is the route I have to take. Who are you to stop me?”
Bonnie would have surely seen through Sienna’s intentions and might have teased her a bit. But now, she was solely focused on seeing Ivor as quickly as possible and had no time for idle chatter. “If you keep following me, I won’t hesitate to knock you out.”
Seeing Bonnie’s urgency to leave, Sienna couldn’t help but speak her mind bluntly.
“Bonnie, don’t think I don’t know. You deliberately got Jim drunk so you could go see Ivor. Tell me honestly, did the people who kidnapped Ivor send you a message? Did they ask you to come alone?” Bonnie frowned, impressed. The one who understood her the best was her enemy.
Sienna took Bonnie’s silence as an admission.
Her tone showed a hint of resentment when she said, “I know you’re worried about Ivor, but you’re a significant figure in the scientific community. If something were to happen to you, what would the people of our country do?
“Now that I know about this, I won’t let you leave alone! And don’t even think about knocking me out. I’m prepared. If you make any move against me, I’ll run. I may not be able to beat you, but you can’t catch me either.”
Bonnie pressed her temples. “Just get to the point. What do you want?”
After a few seconds of silence, Sienna looked up at Bonnie. “I want you to take me with you.”
Bonnie immediately refused. “No, the condition they proposed is for me to go alone.”
“That won’t work either.” Sienna spread her arms in front of her. “If you don’t let me go with you, I won’t let you go alone.”
Seeing Sienna’s determination, Bonnie reluctantly nodded in agreement.
“Fine, you can come with me. But when we’re close to the destination, you have to hide.”
Sienna nodded. “I know. Don’t worry, I won’t joke about Ivor’s safety. After all, protecting him is also my responsibility when we become a family.”
Bonnie felt a bit amused, realizing that Sienna was concerned about Ivor since he was Orpheus’s brother.
“But you and Orpheus are no longer in a relationship.”
“So what? In the end, he will still be mine.” Sienna proudly raised her chin, exuding full confidence. “I saw a fortune teller before. The fortune-teller said that Orpheus and I were destined to be together, so I am his unavoidable fate no matter what.”
Bonnie twitched her lips, finding it hard to say anything more for a moment.
“All right, let’s go together.”
“Okay,” Sienna responded and took the lead.
