Chapter 203 Waiting in the Dark

“Be careful.” Rosalie called out.

Finished

She watched the two figures walk away and couldn’t help smiling. No matter how she looked at them, they seemed like a perfect match.

Her smile grew softer. It looks like those two will get together soon.

That afternoon, Rosalie and the others worked nonstop. By the time the sun went down, every cart had been fully assembled.

But something felt off; Rosalie asked Leon to cut even more wood and stack it in the yard.

As for the finished cart, she had Faith move them-one set to her own yard, the other to Talia’s for safekeeping.

Tonight, Rosalie planned to wait. She would like to see who would show up.

Late at night, when everything was quiet, several dark figures appeared outside the gate again.

One of them was Sienna.

So, it really was Sienna’s hired lackeys who started the fire last night.

But this time, Sienna came herself. Her goal was simple-take Reid back.

Burning him alive would have been too easy.

She wanted him alive so she could settle every score from the past few months and remind him who he really was.

Sienna lowered her voice and ordered the men beside her, “Get me that little brat.

“And if you see that woman, kill her on the spot.”

“Yes,” they replied.

After giving her orders, Sienna stayed outside the gate.

Just thinking about Rosalie made her furious. Helping another tribe with farming? One woman does all that work? Impossible.

Because of Rosalie, Sienna had been lectured at home every day. She was forced to swear she wouldn’t cause trouble again.

And yet Rosalie only had to carve a few useless pieces of wood, and everyone treated her like a hero.

Sienna stepped into the yard and immediately spotted the pile of wood in the corner. It was the same thing they had burned yesterday.

She laughed softly and pulled out a flint.

Finished

Just as she was about to set the wood on fire, someone suddenly wrapped their arms around her waist.

Her heart jumped. Someone caught me? Who is it?

Her body stiffened. She turned her head but saw no one. When she looked down, her tension eased. It was

Reid.

She clenched her teeth and hissed, “You little brat, I’m your mother. Let go of me. Now.”

Reid stared at her and refused to let go.

Sienna glared at him. Seeing his lips pressed tight, refusing to let go, she reached out and twisted his arm.

hard.

Reid frowned slightly. His eyes were dark and lacked emotion. “Mother,” he asked quietly, “were you the one who set the fire?”

“You dare to question me?” Sienna snapped.

“You think she can protect you?” she sneered. “I’m telling you this. She will die tonight.

“And when you come home, I’ll deal with you properly.”

Hearing her answer, Reid’s eyes filled with disappointment.

“Arghhh!”

Suddenly, a scream came from inside the house. Sienna shot Reid a proud look, but when she turned her head, her face drained of color.

Every man she brought with her had been tied up and thrown out into the yard.

She tried to leave, but Reid still held her tightly around the waist. “Let go of me!” she hissed in panic.

His arms felt glued in place. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t shake him off.

In desperation, Sienna slashed his arm with a knife. Bright red blood spilled out.

“Ow!” Reid gasped in pain, but he still didn’t let go.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the yard was lit up. Rosalie and the others stepped outside and immediately spotted Sienna in
