Chapter 189: Sienna Stepped Out of the Bathroom

Sienna stepped out of the bathroom. Her expression froze instantly. Lawrence Chamberlain was on his knees. Lucas’s gaze met hers. He didn’t ask for explanations. He didn’t demand reasons. His voice was calm.

“What do you want me to do with him?”

Sienna felt a surge of warmth. He trusted her completely. She glanced at the trembling man. A cold smirk touched her lips.

“That disgusting pervert.”

Her voice was sharp.

“Castrate him.”

A man like him only brought harm. Lucas turned to Dominic.

“You heard her.”

Dominic nodded.

“Understood.”

He dragged Lawrence away. Lawrence’s screams echoed.

“Mr. Harrington! Please! Have mercy!”

His voice cracked with fear.

“I admit it! I did it! I’ll never do it again!”

He was sobbing now.

“Someone paid me! They paid me to do it!”

Sienna didn’t care. Neither did Lucas. It was too late for excuses. Sienna already knew the truth. Only three people knew about that night. Herself. Derek. Vanessa. Derek wouldn’t betray her now. That left only Vanessa. Vanessa used her trauma against her. She set this entire thing up. All to ruin her reputation. How pathetic. Lucas studied her.

“Were you investigating something with him?”

Sienna stiffened. She was digging into the past. Should she tell Lucas? The thought unsettled her. They had only been together six months. Six more months remained on their contract. She didn’t want his pity. Or his disgust. She met his gaze. Her tone turned sharp.

“That’s my business.”

A warning edged her words.

“You’re not going to invade my privacy, are you?”

Lucas sensed her walls. He respected them.

“Don’t worry.”

His voice softened.

“I’ll respect your boundaries.”

He meant it.

“Tell me whenever you’re ready.”

Sienna relaxed. Lucas kept his promises.

“Thanks for last night.”

She changed the subject.

“I have a shoot.”

She headed for the door.

“See you later.”

Lucas watched her leave. His eyes darkened. Sienna was always so controlled. But that look in her eyes… It was haunted. Something troubled her deeply. What was she hiding? Dominic returned.

“Should I investigate, sir?”

Lucas’s face was grim. He shook his head. He had given his word. Instead, he asked another question.

“What about Valerie Duval?”

Dominic sighed.

“Sebastian questioned her last night.”

He delivered the report.

“She admitted to drugging you.”

He paused.

“She was heading upstairs when a fire broke out.”

“Her mother was trapped inside.”

“She rushed back.”

Dominic’s tone was flat.

“I verified the story.”

“It checks out.”

So even Valerie didn’t know who entered the room. Lucas’s eyes turned stormy. Downstairs, Sienna entered the dressing room. A figure stood inside. Elegant. Poised. Valerie Duval wore a silk halterneck dress. Pearlescent fabric hugged her curves. Her skin glowed. Long curls cascaded down her back. She looked like a movie star. Sienna’s eyes narrowed. Why was Valerie here?
