Sienna Summers had never imagined that on the eve of her wedding, her fiancé would put her in bed with another man.
After receiving the SMS from Charlton Lincoln, she took a taxi to the Poly Hotel.
Charlton Lincoln was the first man who didn't mind that she had three children, and who took extra care to be gentle with her.
She was overjoyed, ready to give herself to him.
A night of bliss.
Sienna Summers opened her bleary eyes, savoring the sweetness of the previous night.
A noise came from the bathroom door, and as she softly called out "Charlton," a man emerged!
He was clad only in a towel around his waist.
His damp hair still dripping with water.
Water droplets traced down his impressive facial profile to his firm chest muscles.
As he moved, the sexy, taut muscles of his long legs were faintly visible.
As Sienna Summers made out his features, she quickly grabbed the blanket to cover herself, utterly astonished.
"Why is it you?"
The cool, exceptional face before her, she had seen it before!
A few days ago, when she was passing a construction site, a drunk had harassed her.
It was this man who helped her!
She thought she would never cross paths with him again, but what was this situation now?
"Who did you think it was?"
Jasper Brown's deep, ink-black eyes swept over her flustered little face, his voice low and magnetic.
"You... why are you here? Last night, I was with you…"
Sienna Summers was incoherent.
The weakness in her body reminded her over and over what had happened last night.
"This is my room. Why wouldn't I be here?"
Jasper Brown sat on the sofa, tossing the towel he had used on his wet hair to one side.
His room?
Sienna Summers' face turned pale, "Impossible! This is clearly the room booked by my fiancé Charlton Lincoln!"
"Are you sure?"
Jasper Brown raised an eyebrow glancing over her skin, pale as jade, his eyes darkening slightly.
Sienna Summers' mind was a mess.
Seeing the man's gaze on her chest, she hurriedly pulled up the blanket.
"Pervert! Get out of here now, or I'll accuse you of rape!"
"Accuse me?"
Jasper Brown looked at her leisurely.
"Shall I remind you who was the initiator last night?"
Sienna Summers was choked up.
Last night, she purposely drank some wine for courage, wanting a sweet night with Charlton Lincoln.
When she knocked on the hotel room, it was dark inside.
Thinking it was Charlton Lincoln, she embraced the man and kissed him under the influence of alcohol.
It was indeed her taking the initiative!
But...
"Surely you could have refused!"
Jasper Brown picked up some clothes beside him, looking at her annoyed little face, his tone casual.
"Life-saving gratitude, repaid with your body. I thought you were here to express your gratitude."
She had not, she was not!
Sienna Summers felt both ashamed and angry, her thoughts in turmoil, just wanting to leave this place first.
She picked up her scattered clothes and hurriedly put them on, briskly walking towards the door.
"Leaving just like that?"
The man's voice came from behind her.
Sienna Summers gritted her teeth, "We're all adults. It was just a one night stand; consider it my repayment of your kindness!"
Bang!
She closed the door firmly behind her and left.
Quite the temper!
Jasper Brown's lips curved slightly. He leisurely started to button his shirt.
At that moment, the phone on the coffee table vibrated.
He glanced at it and slid his long fingers across the screen to answer.
The voice on the other end was powerful and old, laced with an unreasonable threat.
"Unfilial descendent, if you don't find me a granddaughter-in-law soon, I will hang myself in front of you with a rope!"
Jasper Brown's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought of the warm and soft figure from the night before.
He cajoled with a bit of indifference, "Alright, no crying, no fussing, no threats of suicide. I'll just get married, then."
"Really? Which family's daughter have you taken a liking to?"
He said, "Does it have to be a daughter of a prestigious family?"
The person on the other side, fearing he might retract his statement, hurriedly said, "Any woman will do!"
...
On the hotel corridor.
Sienna Summers stared blankly at the room number in front of her.
It was indeed 1802!
She hadn't gone to the wrong room!
But why wasn't the person inside Charlton Lincoln!
Her lips pressed tightly, her heart filled with doubts!
The man inside was very difficult, and didn't say a single true word.
"I'm afraid I still have to go back and ask Charlton Lincoln!"
Having made up her mind, Sienna Summers made a phone call to Charlton Lincoln, but the call showed that no one answered.
Left with no choice, she exited Poly Hotel and took a cab to Charlton Lincoln's villa to get to the bottom of it!
During this time, she had been living in his villa with the three children.
Charlton Lincoln treated the three children as if they were his own and was endlessly considerate to her.
If he knew about her last night with the strange man...
Half an hour later.
Sienna entered the villa with a sense of guilt heavy on her shoulders.
As she walked through the door, she noticed a brand-new pair of beautiful high heels at the entrance.
Sienna paused in her tracks, suspicions flashing through her mind.
She quickly headed to the main bedroom upstairs!
Before she got close, she could faintly hear the sounds of a man and a woman in intimate embrace.
Sienna's heart trembled slightly, and after a moment of struggle, she finally turned the doorknob!
Those ambiguous sounds grew louder, piercing her eardrums sharply.
The woman's familiar giggling sounded.
"Charlton, are you really going to have it out with Sienna?"
"Of course! Now that the Summers family is bankrupt, she's of no use to me. I've humored her for four years; it's time to end this."
"You actually let her entertain your client? How could you bear it?"
"A woman who's had children, what's there to bear? Although my client is both old and ugly, he's rich. Maybe he'll even make her his mistress and give her money to raise the three brats!"
Brats!
At that word, Sienna's whole body trembled.
Charlton Lincoln had clearly said he would not despise her past and would spoil her to be the happiest woman.
But now, he was having an affair with her best friend, Rose Summers!
Not only that, but he had also set her up to sleep with another man!
Anger filled Sienna to the core, and she grabbed a kettle from a cabinet near the door and hurled it.
Crash!
Ceramic shards scattered over the floor!
"Ah!"
Rose Summers on the bed screamed in alarm, frantically seeking shelter in Charlton Lincoln's arms.
Charlton Lincoln stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Sienna.
After a moment of surprise, his expression turned cold.
He rose to his feet, not forgetting to comfort the woman underneath him with utmost care.
Seeing this, a flicker of pain crossed Sienna's eyes.
"Charlton Lincoln, have you been fair to me?"
Charlton Lincoln scoffed, draped a robe over himself, and walked over to her.
"Sienna, let's just make everything clear now that it's come to this. I've always loved Kayla, and if you weren't the Summers family heiress, benefiting my career, why would I have put up with a damaged woman like you who's had kids?"
"Now that your family's bankrupt, do you think a woman with no family background and who has had children is any match for me?"
"You'd better initiate the breakup yourself, don't disgrace yourself. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways right now to kill you!"
Sienna clenched her fists, her eyes slightly reddened with anger.
An accident four years prior left her with three children whose father was unknown.
At that time, she and Charlton Lincoln were in a relationship.
He hadn't dismissed her and had still gotten engaged to her.
He'd only said he wanted to establish his career first before settling down, hence the delay in the wedding.
With the resources of the Summers family, Charlton Lincoln quickly made a name for himself in Seacity in just a few years.
And yet, it was at this time that the Summers family's company suddenly ran into trouble!
The company went bankrupt, and her father was driven by creditors to leap to his death.
Her mother was traumatized, met with a car accident while wandering outside, and became a vegetable.
Overnight, her family was ruined, leaving her with no choice but to turn to Charlton Lincoln with her three children.
She had thought this would be her new home.
But it was all exploitation!
The help the Summers family had given to Charlton Lincoln had turned into a knife stabbing her own heart!
Tears welled up in Sienna's eyes as she raised her hand and fiercely slapped him.
"Charlton Lincoln, you bastard!"
She put her full force into it, and Charlton Lincoln's body staggered from the impact.
"Sienna, you dare to hit me!"
Enraged beyond measure, he raised his hand and struck back.
Sienna couldn't dodge in time and fell to the ground from the blow.
"Don't bully my mommy!"
"Mommy!"
"Uncle Charlton is bad!"
The three children had somehow run over.
The eldest boy, in his pajamas, rushed forward and started pummeling Charlton Lincoln with his little fists.
"Get out of here."
Charlton Lincoln flung him away with one hand.
The little guy tumbled to the ground, his delicate face scrunched up in pain.
"Dora."
Sienna hastily went over to help her son up, her reddened eyes brimming with tears.
"Charlton Lincoln, you even hit the children, are you still human?"
"This is my house! Sienna, get out of my house right now with your three brats!"
