Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Dog Food, A Couple’s Nightlife, Teasing

Keith Sterling was happily enjoying the public display of affection from his brother and Sierra in the back seat when a dark figure suddenly darted out from beside the car window.

Fuck!

Keith Sterling jumped in fright, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest. He thought he was seeing a ghost in the middle of the night.

But when he worked up the courage to take a closer look, he saw that it was that fucking idiot, Lucas Everett!

"Are you insane?!" Keith Sterling already disliked the Everett family, and now that Lucas Everett had nearly scared him to death, he couldn’t help but curse him out. "Did a donkey kick you in the head? Jumping out like a ghost in the middle of the night to scare people!"

Where did this moron even come from?

’Has he been following Sierra this whole time?’

At that moment, Lucas Everett was in no mood to listen to Keith Sterling’s cursing. His eyes were fixed in shock on Sienna Everett in the back seat, and on the man sitting beside her.

That was...

Julian... Julian Forrester?!

Lucas Everett thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. But after looking twice, he was certain. It was Julian Forrester—the president of the Forrester Group!

’How is he sitting with Sienna?’

’And they look so familiar with each other?’

It was as if an earthquake and tsunami had ravaged Lucas Everett’s mind, a cataclysmic upheaval. He stared, frozen, through the car window at Sienna Everett and Julian Forrester in the back seat.

’What... is their relationship?’

"Sienna... I... you..."

Lucas Everett stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence.

But after just those few words, he found himself facing Julian Forrester’s frigid, menacing gaze. The frost in his eyes was overwhelming, like a raging arctic wind that chilled one to the bone.

Lucas Everett shivered in fear as a chill shot straight down his spine.

He instinctively took a step back.

Lucas Everett could clearly sense Julian Forrester’s undisguised anger and contempt for him. And that anger was in defense of Sienna Everett.

’Julian Forrester... protecting Sienna...’

The realization left Lucas Everett even more stunned. His lips trembled as he stammered, "Sienna, you two... You... can you get out of the car and listen to me for a minute? I promise it’ll be quick! I won’t take up your time!"

Sienna Everett’s gaze was indifferent. Without even glancing at him, she spoke directly to Keith Sterling in the driver’s seat. "Drive."

Keith Sterling had been waiting for Sienna Everett’s command. He shot Lucas Everett a disdainful glare. "Move it!"

With that, he started the car.

Lucas Everett hadn’t received even a second of Sienna Everett’s attention. A flicker of loneliness appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, he remembered how he, his third brother, and fifth brother had speculated that Keith Sterling was always sticking to Sienna, likely with ill intentions. He immediately shouted a warning, "Sienna, you have to watch out for Keith Sterling! He’s up to no good! Don’t fall into his evil clutches!!"

Keith Sterling, who had just started to pull away, heard this. His hands nearly slipped on the steering wheel. He was so furious he cursed on the spot, wishing he could turn the car around and run over that dumbass Lucas Everett.

’What the fuck are you talking about?!’

Sienna Everett heard Lucas Everett’s shout as well. Her eyelid twitched violently, and she nearly coughed up a lung.

’This Lucas Everett, he really has some imagination!’

Keith Sterling explained frantically, panicking. "Bro, it’s not true! I didn’t! I haven’t done anything! Don’t listen to that nonsense from Lucas Everett!"

Julian Forrester: "..."

Keith Sterling looked at Sienna Everett in the rearview mirror, his face a mask of misery. "Sierra, you have to believe me too!"

"It’s fine, it’s fine, don’t worry. Not even a dog would believe a word Lucas Everett says!" Sienna Everett said, turning to Julian Forrester and linking her arm with his. "You definitely don’t believe him either, right?"

Julian Forrester: "..."

’So if I believed him, I’d be the dog, is that it?’

Keith Sterling was still whimpering as he looked at his brother in the rearview mirror. ’You have to believe me, Bro!’

A vein throbbed in Julian Forrester’s temple. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Of course I believe you. Just drive properly."

Hearing his brother’s words, Keith Sterling finally relaxed.

’Is that Lucas Everett trying to get me killed?’

’You just fucking wait!’

Meanwhile, Lucas Everett stood on the side of the road, utterly bewildered. The image of Sienna and Julian Forrester sitting together in the back seat replayed in his mind over and over.

’Their relationship definitely isn’t ordinary.’

’At The Azure Art Exhibition a while ago, Julian Forrester went specifically for Sienna. He even said he liked Sienna a lot, and that he liked Whisperwind a lot.’

’And at the charity gala before that, Julian Forrester spent fifty million specifically to buy Sienna’s personal bracelet.’

’Could it be...’

Lucas Everett considered a certain possibility, his eyes flying wide. His mind went blank with a SNAP, so shocked it felt like his skull was about to crack open.

’Could it be that Julian Forrester has his eyes on Sienna too?!’

’Besides Keith Sterling, Julian Forrester is also up to no good with Sienna!’

Having reached this terrifying conclusion, Lucas Everett’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He shakily fumbled for his phone and quickly called Wyatt Everett. "Wyatt!"

"What is it?" Wyatt Everett asked impatiently.

"Wyatt, I just saw Sienna with Julian Forrester..."

Upon hearing Sienna’s name, Wyatt Everett immediately perked up. His entire focus was on her, so much so that he barely registered the name Julian Forrester. He asked hastily, "You just saw Sienna?"

"Yeah, I saw our sister." Lucas Everett’s tone held a hint of a boast.

Wyatt Everett shot up from the sofa, his fingers tightening around his phone. "How did you see Sienna? Where did you see her? So that’s it! We agreed to ask for her forgiveness together, but you’re pulling tricks behind my back! You’re so scheming!"

Lucas Everett: "...I ran into her by accident. I was going to see Isabelle Sutton and saw Sienna downstairs from Isabelle’s place."

Wyatt Everett was green with envy. ’Why does he get all the luck!’

"Next time you go see Isabelle Sutton, take me with you!"

Lucas Everett: "...I’m going to see a girl I like. Why would you tag along?"

Wyatt Everett: "..." ’He has a point.’

Lucas Everett ran a hand through his hair, his stern face filled with worry. "Stop arguing, let’s talk about what’s important. I just saw Sienna with Julian Forrester, and their relationship doesn’t seem normal!"

"Julian... Julian Forrester?" Wyatt Everett thought he was hearing things. "Are you talking about the Julian Forrester I know? Or someone with the same name?"

"Of course it’s not someone with the same name! It’s the one you know! The president of the Forrester Group!" Lucas Everett said worriedly. "I suspect he has his eyes on Sienna, and he’s getting close to her. He’s up to no good!"

Wyatt Everett fell silent.

’If this were before he’d come to his senses, he would have been thrilled to hear that Julian Forrester had taken an interest in Sienna. For the sake of the Everett Family’s interests, he would have tied Sienna up and thrown her into Julian Forrester’s bed to secure benefits for the family.’

’But now, Sienna was the most important person to him, his most beloved sister. Of course he had to consider her feelings. What did Julian Forrester matter?’

’However, a man as powerful as Julian Forrester was not someone to be trifled with.’

’If he really had his sights set on Sienna, would it be a blessing or a curse for her?’

’Would Sienna get hurt because of it?’

"But it’s so hard for us to even see our sister now..." Wyatt Everett’s face was filled with sorrow. For the first time, he felt utterly useless, unable to even meet with his own sister.

"Wyatt..." Lucas Everett was equally dejected.

"Lucas, come back here for now," Wyatt Everett said. "Our second brother and Dustin are here too. We can discuss what to do."

Lucas Everett was surprised. "Second Brother is here too?"

Wyatt Everett gloated, "Yeah. Second Brother isn’t even restoring his artifacts anymore. He just sits there without moving, calling Sienna on his phone over and over. Too bad the number was blocked long ago."

Lucas Everett gloated as well. "Serves him right. We warned him not to treat Sienna badly, but he was completely devoted to Ophelia Warren. Even after he found out Ophelia wanted to hurt Sienna, he was still blind enough to side with her. He deserves it!"

After venting his frustrations with a few more curses, Lucas Everett hung up and headed to Wyatt Everett’s place.

「Veridian Gardens」

After returning home, Keith Sterling chatted with his brother and Sierra in the living room for a while before he got restless, stood up, and grabbed his car keys, ready to go out and have some fun.

"My dear brother and sister-in-law, you two get some rest! I’m going to head out and party!"

The corner of Sienna Everett’s mouth twitched. "It’s so late. Aren’t you going to rest?"

Keith Sterling twirled the car keys around his index finger, a debonair smile on his face. "What time is it? The night is just getting started~"

Sienna Everett: "..."

Keith Sterling snapped his fingers and gave a wave. "I’m off!"

After Keith Sterling left, Sienna Everett turned to look at Julian Forrester, who was on the sofa beside her.

Julian Forrester raised an eyebrow, loosening his tie. His voice was languid. "Why are you looking at me? Whether it was before or after marrying Sienna, I’ve never had a nightlife."

Sienna Everett: "..."

She could tell. The ’nightlife’ he was referring to was not the innocent kind.

The man let out a seemingly helpless sigh. "Sienna doesn’t like me, I know. It’s all my fault."

Sienna Everett: "..."

’Why does he sound like he’s playing the victim?’

Sienna Everett suddenly bent down, looking at Julian Forrester on the sofa. A smile played on her red lips as her slender white fingers tugged on his tie, a hint of a tease in her touch. "I hear that a married couple’s nightlife... is quite interesting. Do you want to give it a try?"

Julian Forrester’s eyes instantly darkened.
