"If she wants to get married, let her," Pauline Briggs said, with a tone of helplessness. Sabrina Johnson looked at Frederick Stewart with a victorious gleam in her eye. She wouldn’t let this man have Sienna Johnson. Even if he didn’t love her anymore, they could only spend their lives together in this lifetime. If the Stewart Family ended without descendants, Sabrina couldn’t be blamed. It was all because of Frederick, who made her have an abortion years ago, resulting in her inability to conceive afterwards. Sienna Johnson looked firmly at the old lady, knowing that as soon as she brought up moving out, Madam Johnson would strongly oppose it. As people get older, they like the idea of having a lively and bustling family living together. The Johnson Family had always been sparse in offspring, so if Sienna Johnson wanted to move out, the old lady would surely be greatly distressed.

You know what kind of person your mother is—she is simply naïve and means no harm," the old lady advised. Sienna Johnson stood up and sat next to the old lady. She told her all the things she wanted to say, one by one. Although the old lady was old, she was not senile. Therefore, after her husband’s early demise, she was able to support Eastminster Enterprises and raise Dexter Johnson. "Grandmother, do you know what Madam Johnson burned today?" "What?" It must have been something important, or Sienna’s reaction tonight wouldn’t be so strong. "It was the formula for Fibromyalgia that Sabrina had stolen from Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory! The medicine, developed by Eastminster Group’s R&D team, took a full three years to develop and required a significant amount of manpower and resources. They even applied for a national grant... But the formula was stolen by Sabrina Johnson and given to Virtue Pharmaceuticals. Virtue Pharmaceuticals then registered the drug first, and it became theirs. President Davis of Virtue Pharmaceuticals even wants to sue Eastminster Enterprises, accusing us of stealing their formula... Grandmother, you should be aware of the consequences if this matter is not handled properly." The old lady pondered. "When did this happen?" "Today, or rather, yesterday." It’s already past 12 o’clock, so it’s the next day now. "Why would she do such a thing?" the old lady asked in grief and indignation. "I don’t know. Perhaps she couldn’t bear to see Eastminster Group developing so well?" "Does your mother know?" "She didn’t know that Sabrina had stolen the formula for the Fibromyalgia drug. She only realized that I was going to make a move against Sabrina, so she burned the evidence..." Sienna Johnson smiled bitterly. "Considering Madam Johnson’s character, even if she knew, she would probably choose to forgive Sabrina..." The old lady remained silent. "Even though Sabrina is her most beloved daughter," Sienna Johnson said sarcastically. "Your mother is a bit muddled." Sienna Johnson looked at the beautiful lilies blooming in the room and thought of her father’s death. She decided not to keep secrets any longer. "Grandmother, there’s something else I’ve been hiding from you for a long time. I think it’s time you knew." Sienna Johnson’s gaze shifted from the lilies to the old lady’s face, which had noticeably aged. If a family had no male descendants and the only son died early, even the strongest woman couldn’t endure such a blow. "It’s about my father." Sienna Johnson held the old lady’s withered hand. She remembered how these hands were once as delicate and smooth as a girl’s, even smoother and more tender than hers. "What happened to your father?" Seeing Sienna Johnson’s expression, the old lady knew that it must be a very serious matter. "Grandmother, where is your Heart-Saving Pill? I’m about to tell you something that might cause your condition to flare up, so please have it ready." Upon hearing this, the old lady became even more nervous. She called in Kathryn, who found the old lady’s medicine for her, and then waved her hand to dismiss Kathryn. Kathryn looked puzzled but didn’t ask any questions. "Kathryn, wait outside the room and prevent anyone from approaching!" Sienna Johnson reminded her cautiously. Currently, Sabrina and Frederick believed that she only had evidence of Sabrina stealing the special medicine, but they were unaware that she already knew the truth of Dexter Johnson’s death. Her strength was still too weak, and it was not time to reveal her trump card. Kathryn left and closed the door. Sienna Johnson then played a recording on her phone for the old lady to hear. The recording began: "Sabrina, you shut up!" "Frederick, let me tell you, if you dare divorce me, I’ll expose all the terrible things you’ve done. Don’t forget, it was you who took away my adoptive father’s medicine when he had a heart attack. If it weren’t for you, my adoptive father wouldn’t have died..." "Really? Don’t forget that you were at the scene when your adoptive father had a heart attack. I took away the medicine, but you didn’t do anything either!" "We are conspirators! If this matter is exposed, neither you nor I can escape!" "Don’t think I don’t know that you resent Dexter Johnson for treating Sienna better than you. You’re jealous of Sienna, and that’s why you hate Dexter Johnson. When he had a heart attack, I took away his life-saving medicine, and you didn’t stop me. In your heart, you wanted Dexter Johnson to die! Because once Dexter Johnson died, you would be the most cherished person in the Johnson Family." "You... You’re talking nonsense!" Sabrina panicked. "Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know the truth!" Frederick looked at the woman before him with disdain. Sienna Johnson stopped the recording there, not playing the rest of the pointless talk. The old lady now understood the true cause of Dexter Johnson’s death. Old Lady Johnson sat there, her expression blank, but she didn’t show the anticipated outpouring of grief. She remained calm. "Grandmother, are you okay?" "When did you find out?" the old lady asked hoarsely. "The day Kenneth Brown’s parents came to the house to discuss our wedding date." Old Lady Johnson’s eyes reddened, but she never let the tears fall. "Why didn’t you tell me sooner?" "If it hadn’t been for today’s incident, I would never have told you about this in my entire life," Sienna said. "You silly girl. Even though I am old and can’t help you anymore, you can’t bear the burden of such a thing alone." At this point, the old lady sobbed quietly. Sienna, fearing that her body couldn’t bear the strain, gave her a Heart-Saving Pill. The old lady was much stronger than Sienna assumed. "Does your mother know?" "Why don’t you tell her? Let her know that the adopted daughter she dotes on is a snake-hearted woman who actually killed her adoptive father!" Old Lady Johnson was filled with hatred. Her son was her whole life, and she thought he had died a natural death and it was fate. She never imagined that the shameless Sabrina was the one responsible.
