Chapter 273

Hearing the noise, Sienna and Cedric stopped and turned to see who it was.

It was Josiah. Sienna was surprised, wondering why he was here at this hour.

“You’re here. Let’s go out and talk…” Sienna instinctively pushed Cedric aside and stepped in front of him. She worried that Josiah might hurt Cedric based on past experiences.

That protective instinct only seemed to fuel Josiah’s anger.

“Ha.” Josiah chuckled darkly as he moved closer, his steps slow and menacing. “Talk outside? No. Let’s Talk right here. So tell me, what are you doing?”

As soon as Sienna spoke, Josiah suddenly raised his hand, pushed her aside, and swiftly grabbed Cedric by the throat.

“Ugh!” Cedric reflexively reached out to resist, but he was suppressed by Josiah and backerl away step by step, finally being pressed against the conference table in the middle of the room.

“Cedric” Sienna turned pale with fright, hurriedly followed, and anxiously pulled Josiah’s arm. “Josiah, calm down

“Calm down?” Josiah shouted, his eyes blazing with fury. “You’re here cheating on me, frantic hostility in his gaze, dark enough to consume anyone.

and you want me to calm down?” There was an intense.

“Humph. Josiah sneered, turning his attention fully to Cedric. “You’ve got guts, daring to touch my girl. But let’s see if you can back that up.” “Don’t” Sienna lunged forward, grabbing Josiah’s raised arm. She knew how ruthless he could be: Cedric had never stood a chance against him. Josiah, let’s go back. We can talk about this at home, okay?” she pleaded, unaware that her words were only agitating Josiah,

Josiah narrowed his eyes, looking at her tear–stained face. He cupped her cheek, his fingertips tracing the tears spilling from the corners of her eyes. “Who are you crying for!” he chuckled.

Sienna’s heart skipped a beat as she saw the madness in his eyes. Without a second thought, she clung to his arm and shouted, “Cedric, run!” “Sanna Shaw.” Josiah pronounced her name sharply, his expression hardening. “How dare you stand up for him in front of me? With a swift motion, he flung Sienna away.

“Ow..“Sienna gasped.

In reality, he hadn’t used much force and didn’t mean to hurt her. He just wanted her to stop interfering

But the push sent Sienna stumbling back. She barely managed to reach out for the table behind her, but her elbow hit the sharp edge, sending a jolt of pain through her. “Ah..”

That cry pulled both men back to reality. Josiah and Cedric froze, their attention snapping to Sienna.

Sienna clutched her arm in pain, bending over and struggling to stand straight.

“Sienna” Josiah’s face froze. He immediately let go of Cedric, strode over to Sienna, and gently grasped her arm to check for injuries.

“It hurts, Sienna winced at his touch.

Josiah’s face went pale. He didn’t dare to touch her again. Instead, he swept her up in his arms. “We need to get to the hospital.”

“Not so fast,” Cedric stepped forward and blocked his way. “You can

u can go if you: want, but Sienna stays here.”

He had just learned the truth today–it was because of him that he had lost Sienna. Now, seeing Josiah hurting Sienna with his own eyes, Çedric was filled with regret and guilt

Cedric said with his neck stiff and his voice angry, “Josiah, you went to great lengths to set Sienna up to get h right. Just let her god

Josiah caught the words “set her up, and his face darkened. “What do you mean by that?”

her, but now you’re not even treating her

“What? Are you too proud to admit it, Josiah? Cedric ancered. “I know all about what happened in Fliraty. Sienna wasn’t involved; this was all you, You set her up.

Chapter 273

Josiah hadn’t thought about Fliraty in a while. He didn’t expect Cedric to know about that.

“Oh…” Josiah suddenly understood. He looked down at the woman in his arms,

“No wonder they were hugging each other and crying like that. They must have been crying over their unforgettable past. How touching,” he mocked inwardly.

“I did it, so what?” Josiah asked indifferently, his chin held high and his eyes slightly lowered. ‘Are you going to take her back?”

Cedric’s heart raced. “Just give her back to me.”

“Tsk” Josiah raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly. “Do you really think you can? Maybe deal with your own family first.

Cedric ined to argue, “—”

“Cedric,” Sienna suddenly interrupted him. She looked at Cedric and shook her head slightly, signaling him not to continue. Then, she looked at Josiah. “You misunderstood. I’m fine with Josiah. He didn’t treat me badly….

Then, she tugged at Josiah’s sleeve. “Let’s go.”

“Sienna,” called Cedric

“Humph,” Josiah snorted contemptuously, his eyes flashing coldly. “Did you hear that! Get out of the way.”

He leaned down, looking at Sienna intimately as if they were sharing a secret. His tone softened to a whisper. “As you wish. Let’s go…”

“Okay” Sienna nodded, snuggling closer to him. She looked away from Cedric and whispered to herself, I’m sorry, Cedric. This is for the best Cedric stood rooted to the spot, watching them walk further away. It felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out. The pain was overwhelming. and he could do nothing about it

He suddenly felt unsteady and reached out to grip the table. ‘Sienna, you lied to me. You’re not happy, are you? he wondered.

As soon as

on as they s

stepped outside, the tenderness vanished from Josiah’s face. What he’d shown Cedric had been nothing but a facade. To him, this was far from over.

But Sienna had hurt her arm, and he would take her to the hospital first before dealing with everything else.

Josiah didn’t say a word. He opened the car door and gently helped Sienna inside.

As the car started, Sienna spoke. Tm not going to the hospital.”

Josiah frowned, thinking. Is she being difficult with me now? After everything that has happened today, who’s truly in the wrong

“Sienna,” Josiah frowned, staring at her and suppressing his displeasure. “Your arm is hurt. Are you really going to keep arguing with me right now?”

“I’m not arguing” Sienna shook her head. “I just don’t want to go to the hospital”

“You…” Josiah pressed his lips together, struggling to stay calm. “You’ve hurt bone

your elbow. It hurts when you touch it, and you might have broken a

She knew that, of course. That was exactly why she didn’t want to go. If she went to the hospital, she would definitely need an X–ray. And if she had an X–ray while pregnant, she might lose the baby.
