The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 39 - 0: The Flaw

Sienna Johnson’s period came!

She was supposed to be "pregnant," but now that her period had arrived, how could she continue pretending to be "pregnant"? To make matters worse, Sienna didn’t have any sanitary pads. Without them, how was she going to get through the long night?!

"What’s wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded?" Adrian Desmond’s gaze was too sharp. Sienna felt exposed under his stare.

"Ah? I just remembered, I need to talk to Kiki about something."

"What..." is it? Sienna didn’t wait for Adrian to react before slipping past him. Adrian, puzzled by her behavior, muttered, "It’s so late, why isn’t she asleep?"

Without knocking, Sienna hurriedly entered Selena Robertson’s room.

Selena was wearing her pajamas and preparing to go to bed. Shocked, she asked Sienna, "Mai... what’s wrong?"

"Kiki, my period has come."

"What?"

Thinking that southeastern people might not understand the term "big aunt," Sienna decided to be more straightforward, "My menstruation has started."

Selena looked bewildered.

"Do you have any sanitary pads?" Asking for sanitary pads... I can only ask Selena, Sienna thought.

"Yes, I do...," Selena stammered.

Selena had brought a significant supply of sanitary pads, anticipating a lack of supplies while living on an island.

"Quick, lend me some!" Seeing her savior, Sienna stretched out her hand and urged her, "Hurry up, or I’ll have a major mess on my hands."

Suppressing her doubts, Selena found a sanitary pad for Sienna. Sienna immediately went to change and came back looking much more relaxed.

"Kiki, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do." After all, none of the men on this ship would need such a thing, she thought.

"Mai, I thought you were pregnant? How is it possible for you to have your period... did you have a miscarriage?"

"It’s not a miscarriage. I’m a hundred percent sure my period has come!" Sienna knew she couldn’t hide the truth from Selena, nor did she fear her telling anyone, so she explained the whole story to her in detail.

After listening, Selena was dumbfounded. "You... You...," she pointed at Sienna, unable to speak.

"Kiki, you have to keep this a secret for me!" Sienna looked pitifully at Selena.

Selena swallowed and lowered her voice. "Are you crazy? How can you lie about something like this? I know the Sixth Master really likes the child in your belly. If he finds out that you lied to him..."

Sienna smiled bitterly, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"You shouldn’t lie about something like this!" Selena said disapprovingly.

"Back then, I was forced by the circumstances. If I hadn’t lied, Uncle would have probably violated both of us by now," Sienna said with a bitter smile, completely unaware that even if she hadn’t lied about being pregnant, Adrian would have saved her.

Kiki lowered her head, silent.

"He said he loves me! ...I think he’ll be very angry if he finds out... But he shouldn’t kill me, right?" These past few days, Sienna had been clinging to Adrian, hoping to get pregnant. Who knew her period would deal her such a heavy blow.

"I think it’s better for you to confess to the Sixth Master. If you show genuine remorse, he probably won’t do anything too harsh to you. ...But if you continue hiding it and he finds out, I’m afraid the Sixth Master will..."

Sienna wanted to as well, but she didn’t dare! Even though Adrian was currently spoiling her rotten, men like him—dominant and chauvinistic—were extremely sensitive to deception. If the truth came out, Adrian would definitely go berserk.

Looking at Sienna’s worried expression, Selena asked, "So, what’s the plan?"

Sienna sighed. "First, lend me some sanitary pads to get through this. We can talk about the rest later."

"Alright."

Sienna took a packet of sanitary pads and left Kiki’s room. In the hallway, she ran into Xavier Young. He stopped in his tracks, standing there and staring at her with a gloomy expression that made her extremely uncomfortable.

Jasper’s death had made Xavier view her as the murderer. If not for Adrian’s protection, Xavier probably would have killed her to make her pay for Jasper’s life.

Sienna knew of Xavier’s animosity, so she offered no false pleasantries. Instead, she lowered her head, feigning not to see him, and walked towards Adrian’s room.

As she passed by Xavier, he asked coldly, "Mai, Jasper is dead. Why aren’t you sad at all?"

Sienna stopped. "Would you grieve for a stranger? I didn’t even know Jasper. To me, he was just a stranger!"

Xavier was furious. He threw a punch, but Sienna dodged. His fist slammed into the metal cabin wall with a LOUD THUD. "A stranger? Do you have any idea that this ’stranger’ had a happy family, a one-year-old son, and elderly parents?"

"Hasn’t the Sixth Master already given them compensation and promised to take care of them for life? What more do you want? For me to pay with my life for Jasper?" Sienna looked at Xavier calmly, her tone flat and unwavering. To Xavier, this sounded cold-blooded and utterly devoid of human warmth.

"If the Sixth Master wasn’t stopping me, I would definitely kill you to avenge Jasper!" freēwēbnovel.com

Sienna didn’t reply but bent down to pick up the sanitary pad that had fallen on the floor. Xavier’s gaze also fell on the pad, and he recognized it. Isn’t this woman pregnant? he wondered. If she’s pregnant, why would she have this?

"Is this a sanitary pad?"

Sienna’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected these men to know about such things!

"Why, do you need one?" Sienna joked.

Xavier stared at Sienna. "Why do you have this?"

"Kiki gave it to me!"

Xavier’s razor-sharp gaze made Sienna’s scalp tingle. He blocked her path, and she snapped in anger, "Xavier Young, what in the world do you want?"

A thought suddenly struck Xavier. "I remember my cousin didn’t get her period when she was pregnant!"

"I’m not getting my period either!"

"But I smell fresh blood on you!" Xavier leaned in, sniffing at her like a hunting dog. Sienna pushed him away. "Are you trying to harass me?!" she exclaimed.

"Mai, are you on your period? You can’t hide it from the Sixth Master! His sense of smell is even sharper than mine! How are you going to explain the scent of fresh blood on you?"
