Mario's deep gaze revealed a clear coldness as he stared fixedly at his mother, showing no sign of backing down.
Especially the indifference and chill on his face even made Mrs. King shudder.
She had always known that Mario had his own opinions and plans, so she didn't dare to do something too openly, so as not to cause any unpleasantness between them, and she definitely didn't want their relationship to become too strained.
But now, Mario's words made it impossible for her to control her emotions. Mr. King passed away early, and she faced the rumors and pressure from the King family alone until now, all for Mario. Mario had never made her worry about anything, but now he treated his mother, who he had always shown great respect, like this just for Sienna.
Mrs. King couldn't bear and accept it.
She looked at Mario and asked, "Is she really that important to you? Mario, don't you know who she really is? She was adopted by me, your nominal sister. Do you think the outside world will support you? Will the rest of the King family support you? Your actions will bring endless trouble upon yourself, and this..."
"Enough," Mario coldly interrupted, his expression extremely grim. He fixed his gaze on Mrs. King and said, "I will handle this matter myself. You should rest since you're not feeling well."
"Mario!"
Mrs. King wanted to make a final plea, but Mario simply didn't listen.
The secretary gestured for her to leave, but Mrs. King refused to accept it and continued to question Mario, "Mario, don't you consider the consequences of your actions? Are you willing to give up everything you've worked so hard for because of a woman?"
"There is absolutely no conflict, so you don't need to worry. The King family won't take anything away from me, and no one has the ability or courage to do so. You can rest assured. If you're trying to stop me from keeping Sienna in the King family because you're afraid of the King Group falling into the hands of others, then there's no need. I'll handle everything."
Mario's decisions have always been like this; once he's made up his mind, no one can change it.
So no matter what Mrs. King said, he remained unshaken.
Until Mrs. King asked, "Aren't you concerned about yourself or even her? She's just a young girl. If you burden her with so much public opinion, how do you think she'll be able to show up in front of others in the future? Does she not want anything? Not even the most basic freedom and social circle? Mario, are you really helping her or harming her?"
Mario didn't respond; his face was extremely gloomy.
Mrs. King's words kept echoing in his ears, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.
The secretary escorted Mrs. King out, leaving the untouched food she brought here on the coffee table. Mario sat silently on the sofa, unmoving.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Mario maintained his position without any reaction.
After the secretary took Mrs. King away from the hospital, she couldn't help but ask, "Is he still unwilling to give up on Sienna?"
The secretary was Mario's man, naturally, he wouldn't gossip about anything related to Mario. He only spoke softly, "I'm sorry, Mrs. King, I don't know."
Mrs. King naturally didn't believe the secretary's words. After all, he was Mario's man; how could he not know anything?
She looked at her niece beside her, and she immediately understood, wearing a sweet smile on her face and speaking in a pleasing tone, "You've worked for my cousin for many years, right? You've been by his side since before he officially took over King Group. You should also want what's best for him, right?"
The secretary looked at Mrs. King with a troubled expression, not knowing how to respond.
After all, the reason he had been able to stay by Mario for so many years was the most important thing: keeping his mouth shut and understanding the importance of right and wrong in his actions.
If he were to break this principle, there would be no reason for him to continue staying by Mario's side.
He remained silent, carefully considering his words before speaking softly, "Mrs. King, I truly don't know. I'm only responsible for Mr. King's work-related matters. As for Mr. King's personal affairs, I have no right to interfere or inquire."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. King's face immediately darkened.
Her cousin chimed in, "My aunt is his mother, and now she's having a disagreement with him, but they're still family. We just hope you won't stand on the wrong side. If you want to continue staying at King Group and by his side, you should know what you need to do, right?"
The secretary nodded, but whether he would act accordingly was uncertain.
After leaving the hospital, Mrs. King and her niece got into the car Seeing Mrs. King's unsightly expression, her niece tentatively asked, "Aunt, what should we do now? We can't just stand by and watch Sienna hurt Mario, can we?"
