My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 845

Chapter 845: Bearing the Consequences

As expected, Sienna turned around and left without looking back, completely ignoring whatever her secretary had to say.

With no other options, the secretary reluctantly dialed Mario's number and followed Sienna. Once Mario answered, the secretary quickly summarized the situation and informed him that Sienna was leaving.

Mario immediately responded, "Let her answer the call."

The secretary held out the phone towards Sienna, but she refused to take it.

Nervously, the secretary relayed the current situation to Mario. Mario simply said, "Put it on speaker."

The secretary immediately complied.

In the next moment, Mario's voice came through the phone.

His deep voice resonated, "Come back to the ward right now, Sienna. If I don't see you within half an hour, I won't hesitate to do what we didn't do last night."

Sienna came to a sudden halt, snatched the phone from the secretary's hand, and her face was filled with a cold and icy indifference. She coldly retorted, "Mario, what else can you do besides threatening me? Threats seem to be the only means you have. Aren't you afraid that everyone will discover what you are thinking about your adopted sister? It was you who shut me out from the beginning, you who abandoned me, subjected me to ridicule from everyone, and caused the current situation. You're the one who made me give up, and now you have the audacity to act like this? How shameless you are!"

Sienna's words made the secretary's face freeze. It seemed like she was the only person in the world who could treat Mario like this.

The secretary kept his head down, trying to maintain an invisible presence. If Mario found out that he had also heard those words, would he be silenced in some way?

Not only was the secretary incredulous, but Mario on the other end of the phone was also shocked. He squinted his eyes, sitting on the edge of the hospital bed. The wound on his forehead had lost the effect of the anesthesia, and his displeased emotions caused a throbbing pain.

His face turned extremely dark, as if it had been covered with a thick layer of broken ice. It took him several seconds to regain his composure. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Consider me shameless. If you really want everyone to know, let King Group make a public statement about our relationship. Come back first, and then we can talk. Don't take my mother's words to heart, okay?"

Mario completely ignored what Sienna had just said. All he wanted now was for her to return to the ward.

But of course, Sienna refused.

Sienna said, "I'm no longer a member of the Kings, so why should I go back? Besides, your injury is a consequence of your own actions. I don't want to come back and attend to you, Mario. I'm truly fed up with you. I have no desire to stay in the same room with you."

Mario responded, "So you're determined not to come back? Do you really think you can easily leave Flento? Or do you believe Ayan and Camille can help you here in Flento? But have you ever considered that even if Ayan is capable, he can't do whatever he wants here!"

Sienna chuckled lightly, her voice filled with coldness. "Why do you always think I have to rely on someone else in your mind? Do you believe that without relying on you or the King family, I am nothing? You're always so confident, thinking that even if you treat me like garbage and discard me, I will still return to you without hesitation when you need me and don't even care about how you abandoned me. Mario, why are you always so self-assured?"

Her words carried a mocking tone, causing Mario, who was listening on the other end of the phone, to pause slightly. The expression on his face had already stiffened to the extreme.

Images of her face and past memories kept flashing in his mind.

Did he choose to abandon Sienna because he was overconfident?

His expression became dense and gloomy. However, at that time, he had made it clear to her that everything was temporary. Once he firmly established himself as the CEO of King Group, the only one who could stay by his side would forever be her only.

Why couldn't she just wait?

But Mario couldn't ask that question. He felt as though a stone was lodged in his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Sienna's voice echoed in his ears once again.
