The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 17 - 0 Adrian Desmond, my name, remember it

At Sixth Master’s words, the weight in Sienna Johnson’s heart lifted. She knew her gamble had paid off; that man would come to rescue her. If not for her, then for the "child" inside her. She couldn’t help but smile with the joy of survival.

"Someone’s coming!" The truck suddenly stopped. Sienna heard the noise, and her heart tightened.

"Don’t panic! Delete the call history and toss the phone back where it was! I’ll rescue you very soon!" Sixth Master calmly directed her as Sienna panicked.

"Okay." Just as Sienna was about to hang up, the man suddenly told her, out of the blue, "Adrian Desmond! That’s my name!"

"Huh?"

"Remember this name forever!"

In a soft and gentle voice, Sienna answered, "Okay, Adrian, I’ll wait for you to save me... Please come save me soon, I’m scared." After speaking, she swiftly hung up, deleted the call history, put the phone back in its original position, and resumed her previous posture.

After completing these actions, her heart pounded.

The door of the cargo hold opened, and the two men who had assaulted her earlier climbed in. One of them said, "Hey, isn’t this your phone?" He picked up the phone and handed it to the other man, Flynn Taylor.

Flynn took the phone and examined it carefully. Finding no signs that it had been used, he then put it in his pocket.

"I thought I’d dropped it where we buried the body. Luckily, it was left in the truck. If I’d accidentally dropped the phone there, we’d be in serious trouble," Flynn said with relief. frёewebnoѵēl.com

The other man, Moore, patted Flynn’s shoulder and joked, "Flynn, I’ve noticed you’re getting more and more timid. You weren’t scared earlier when you were messing with that dead woman, were you? But now you’re scared just because you might have lost your phone."

"What’s there to fear from a dead person? It’s the living who are terrifying!"

"Relax, it must have fallen out when you were taking off your pants earlier. HA HA..."

Flynn glared at Moore and warned, "You better keep this from Charlie Parker for me. If he finds out, I’m in trouble."

Moore draped an arm around Flynn’s shoulder, affecting an air of brotherly solidarity. "Relax," he said loyally. "What are brothers for?"

The two men got out, and the cargo door was closed again.

Sienna waited until the truck started moving before she cautiously shifted. She lay with her eyes wide open, staring blankly into the oppressive darkness, listening to the sounds from outside.

All she could hear was the rumble of the truck she was in; no other vehicles or voices reached her. She had initially hoped police might be patrolling the roads and stop them. However, judging by the bumpiness of the ride, they seemed to be on a remote route.

Now, her only hope was that the man named Adrian Desmond would come to save her, for the sake of the "child" in her belly.

Sienna touched her flat abdomen. She thought about the supposed ten months of pregnancy and the eventual delivery. Where on earth would she find a child to give him then?

On the Shark, after Sienna hung up, Adrian Desmond grinned somewhat foolishly, while everyone else found his laughter rather bone-chilling.

What was going on? Shouldn’t he be furious? Why was he laughing? Had he gone mad with anger?

Unable to bear it any longer, Xavier Young tried to comfort him, "Sixth Master, calm down. We’ll definitely find that woman and make sure you get your satisfaction."

Adrian Desmond, already strikingly handsome, looked every bit the debonair nobleman in his suit. It’s said that a beautiful woman’s smile can unleash a hundred charms; Adrian’s smile could be just as fatally captivating.

"I’m going to be a father!" Adrian exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement.

When he was ten, his parents had died tragically, leaving him and his younger sister to fend for themselves for many years. Now, the thought of a tiny, fragile new life, one that carried his blood, thrilled him to the core.

Adrian didn’t want to appear like a giddy fool, but he was genuinely overjoyed.

That woman would never know... he wasn’t just playing around with her. More than anyone, he longed for a family.

The others present were just as stunned, staring with bewildered expressions at Adrian’s unabashedly foolish grin.

"Sixth Master, is it... really true?"

Adrian’s gaze suddenly turned cold. "Are you questioning my abilities in a certain department?" he asked, his voice laced with danger.

Xavier Young chuckled sheepishly and quickly explained, "Sixth Master, you’re the most capable, of course! It’s only been three months, and you’re already going to be a father. Joe Barton married six wives and toiled for so many years, yet none of them have even borne him a daughter!"

Adrian enjoyed the flattery, but the thought of his woman and child’s current predicament quickly tempered his joy.

"After I rescue my son, I’ll treat you all to drinks!" Adrian temporarily suppressed his elation and began issuing orders. "...Aaron, what have you found?"

With a name and phone number, the search parameters narrowed significantly. Aaron Faber was tracking the phone number; a red dot pulsed and moved across his screen. "Sixth Master, they’re heading towards the Himakati border!" he said.

"How long until they reach the Himakati border?"

"Three hours!"

Maxwell Young, Xavier’s older brother, spoke up, "Sixth Master, I have a cousin stationed at a border checkpoint in Himakati. I’ll call him now and ask him to run tight checks on any suspicious vehicles."

"Good."

Maxwell immediately went to call his cousin. The Shark, meanwhile, sped towards the nearest dock. Aaron Faber continued to track the phone’s location, while Walter Klein quickly pulled up information on Charlie Parker and "Uncle."

"Sixth Master, found it. Charlie Parker, 43 years old, 178 cm tall, Mandanilan. He has a criminal record—a notorious human trafficker, a snakehead. ’Uncle’ is Corrigan, leader of an anti-government armed faction in Himakati..."

Staring at his computer screen, Aaron Faber added in a flat voice, "That man... I know of him. He’s a pervert. Lascivious and easily bored. The women he’s ’played’ with are either thrown into army camps as military prostitutes, or..."

Aaron Faber glanced at Adrian, leaving the rest unsaid. Xavier, ever curious, pressed, "Or what?"

"Or forced to perform acts with animals... while he watches."

Adrian’s heart seized. The mere thought of what Sienna might be forced to endure was unbearable. "Beast!" he snarled.

Walter Klein said, "Sixth Master, things haven’t reached that point yet. We still have time to save Sister-in-law."

Walter Klein was adept at reading people. Once Adrian announced Sienna’s pregnancy, Walter had switched from calling Sienna "Mai" back to "Sister-in-law."
