After the Divorce, I Took Revenge on My Ex-husband By Emma Scott novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Truth Revealed After Drinking 

Adrian’s consciousness was already unclear, unable to answer Janice’s questions. 

He closed his eyes drowsily, and Frederick, who was beside him, struggled to help him back to his 

room. 

“He drank too much.” Frederick, tired and sweating, fanned himself with his hand and explained to Janice, “He needs a good sleep, and then some hangover soup tomorrow. He should be fine.” 

Frederick knew Sienna, and he knew the entangled grievances between the three of them. 

There were things Frederick couldn’t intervene in and didn’t have the power to, so he could only 

stand aside and watch the drama unfold. 

Janice seemed innocent, but her eyes were full of scheming, which made Frederick not fond of her. 

Compared to that, Sienna’s calm and open manner made Frederick feel more comfortable, but Adrian hadn’t seen it yet, choosing to trust his childhood friend, Janice. 

“Alright, I understand…” 

Janice hesitantly replied, but she wanted to know why Adrian was drunk. She cautiously asked, “What’s going on with Adrian? Why did he drink so much? Is something bothering him?” 

Whether Adrian had any troubles, even she, who was with him day and night, didn’t know. Frederick could only guess what was on Adrian’s mind. 

Janice still had reservations, or else she wouldn’t hide everything from him. 

Adrian was guarded and never completely opened up to Janice. Like a hedgehog with its spines raised, getting close would only bring endless hurt. 

“I don’t know.” Frederick laughed and started playing along, saying nonchalantly, “Hasn’t Adrian mentioned anything to you?” 

Janice hesitated for a few seconds and then gave an awkward smile. “Adrian has been too busy lately. We haven’t had a chance to sit down and talk…” 

Indeed, Adrian had been too busy. He was busy enough to prefer drinking with friends and getting drunk, rather than accompanying Janice to the party as her date. 

The priorities were clear, and anything Janice said now would only be an attempt to justify her 

actions. 

Frederick didn’t want to get involved in their affairs. He had sent Adrian home, and the rest was 

none of his business. 

Adrian left, leaving Janice in the room, looking at the sleeping Adrian on the bed with resentment. 

Even when drunk and unconscious, he still looked as handsome as ever. His deep brows were closed, but his extraordinary features were still hard to ignore. 

Thinking of the handsome and excellent Adrian, who had been monopolized by Sienna for three whole years, Janice felt a suffocating resentment. 

Sienna was the lucky one. Even Janice hadn’t enjoyed Mrs. Olson’s treatment yet. 

Fortunately, Adrian hadn’t liked Sienna all these years. Even though she was Mrs. Olson in name, she only suffered humiliation without any preferential treatment. 

Even Adrian himself treated her poorly, and others were even worse. 

“Adrian” Thinking of this, Janice felt somewhat relieved. She approached him to show her concern. “Are you feeling terrible? Would you like me to make you some tea?” 

Janice’s gentle voice was like a warm spring breeze. Just as she was about to have someone prepare 

hot tea for sobering up, Adrian suddenly grabbed her wrist. 

Adrian’s grip was strong, as if he wanted to crush her bones. He pulled her close to him. 

Janice was both in pain and surprised, her heart pounding wildly as she looked at Adrian on the bed, who had just opened his eyes slightly. “Adrian, what are you doing…” 

Although Adrian had been kind to her, he had never made any advances, as if their relationship 

could only go this far. 

To get any closer, they’d need to overcome many obstacles. 

Janice had long wanted to get Adrian drunk, convert his reluctance into acceptance, so that he 

would have no choice but to surrender to her. 

Unfortunately, Adrian’s vigilance was extraordinary, and she never succeeded in her attempts. 

After all, Adrian was the young master of the Olson family. Trying to outsmart him was a risky 

endeavor. 

Without at least a ninety percent chance of success, Janice dared not act rashly. 

She was afraid Adrian would hate her, or even worse, see her true colors and distance himself from 

her. 

Now, the opportunity of a lifetime had come, with Adrian drunk and holding onto her, not letting her go. There couldn’t be a better chance. 

However, her flushed face had barely faded when she heard Adrian’s low murmur. 

“Sienna…” 

Revealed After Drinking. 

Get Bord 

For a moment, Janice thought she had misheard. She held her breath and leaned in closer to listen 

again. 

“Sienna… don’t go…” 

Janice hadn’t misheard. Adrian was indeed calling Sienna’s name. 

Janice’s face turned deathly pale, void of any color. 

Adrian seemed cold and cruel on the surface, but deep down, he still cared for Sienna. This fact 

dealt a blow to Janice. 

“Adrian.” Janice forced a smile, trying to win back his heart. “It’s me, Janice…” 

She hoped her gentle voice would trigger a response from him, but it was barely effective.
