The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

"Yes, in the past, it was relatively easy for our people to infiltrate the Imperial Palace, but now the guards inside are extremely strict. Our attempts at infiltration have failed several times.

We’re afraid of alerting them, so we didn’t send anyone inside again and have been monitoring from the outside.

According to those who returned, some of the guards inside are people from Death Island."

Adrian Desmond frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Sixth Master, do you remember when our people besieged Death Island? Some who participated in that operation were involved this time. Among those we sent, some had dealt with Death Island before and recognized a few people."

"Did you see Sienna Johnson inside the Imperial Palace?"

"No." Brandon Potter lowered his head and said softly.

Adrian Desmond suddenly felt a pang in his chest, losing his appetite. He placed the chopsticks on the table and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Brandon Potter noticed and slightly furrowed his brows, advising, "Sixth Master, you should eat more. You haven’t eaten much all day.

Is the food not to your liking?"

The dinner today was prepared by the Desmond Family’s old chef, whom Adrian used to rate highly, so it shouldn’t be that the food was disliked. It was concern for Sienna.

"No appetite."

Brandon Potter consoled Adrian, "Sixth Master, Madam will certainly be found. Besides, Madam is so clever; maybe she can find her way back herself."

Adrian’s profound gaze lingered on Brandon’s face, who dared not meet Adrian’s eyes and lowered his head.

There are many things Adrian finds himself unable to utter.

Even if he finds Sienna now, it won’t change Night Owl’s disrespectful actions toward his woman; he cares deeply.

It’s likely that Sienna is in Abyanabad’s Imperial Palace, but he cannot act.

The Imperial Palace in Abyanabad is different from Death Island; he could coordinate with others to besiege Death Island, but Abyanabad’s palace is not the same.

The Royal family holds an esteemed position in Abyanabad, and if he intrudes without reason, he’ll face jail time.

Adrian suddenly came up with an idea to enter Abyanabad’s Imperial Palace.

"Without reason... Haha, well, as long as there’s a valid reason, it’s fine."

Brandon, attending beside him, was puzzled, not understanding why the suddenly dejected Adrian seemed uplifted.

"Sixth Master..."

Adrian said, "Continue to watch the Abyanabad Imperial Palace for me, observe if any suspicious individuals are entering or leaving, especially Night Owl, make sure to watch closely.

If Sienna is indeed in Abyanabad’s Imperial Palace, don’t let Night Owl take her away."

"Understood, Sixth Master."

Night Owl now claims to be Gulit’s cousin, a silver mask has made him much more conspicuous, making him easier to track.

"Inform me if anything happens."

"Yes, Sixth Master."

Adrian appreciated Brandon’s ability to handle matters independently, replacing Walter Klein and taking on many responsibilities, satisfied with her performance.

"From this month on, your salary will be doubled!" This was Adrian’s reward for her.

Brandon looked at Adrian in surprise. She knew Adrian was generous with his subordinates. But starting from February this year, Adrian’s businesses in Abyanabad had gradually been suspended; only overseas operations were still profitable, reducing his profits by at least half this year.

Yet, during this time, Adrian increased her salary by double.

Brandon quickly said, "Sixth Master, many businesses stopped this year, and we’ve earned much less, I don’t need a salary raise."

Adrian explained, "Though my businesses in Abyanabad have halted, overseas ventures are doing well. Paying you double is manageable."

Adrian truly didn’t lack money, his wealth was astonishing.

"Keep working well." Adrian encouraged Brandon with a few words, then walked away briskly.

Brandon stood in place, watching Adrian’s tall, sturdy silhouette, briefly dazed, then followed after him.

Brandon trailed closely behind Adrian all the way to the door.

...

Blackwood, early morning.

Blackwood remained beautiful, its scenery enchanting, people walking leisurely on limestone paved roads, but Adrian’s steps were hurried.

When Adrian arrived at the Eco-farm, Kiya was accompanying the pregnant Paige Desmond on a walk.

——Adrian?

Kiya saw Adrian.

Kiya speculated Adrian was there for Sienna’s situation.

Kiya knew about Sienna’s kidnapping.

Despite residing in the relatively secluded farm, Kiya had a clear understanding of external happenings.

To prevent Paige from worrying and affecting the baby, Kiya kept the matter hidden, so Paige was unaware of Sienna being kidnapped by Night Owl.

"Brother, why did you come suddenly?" Paige was surprised to see Adrian.

Adrian’s gaze swept over Paige’s pregnant belly and inquired, "How have you been? Is your health ok?"

"Pretty good."

Having witnessed Sienna bear four children, Adrian understood pregnant women well, "As your belly grows larger, it becomes harder, sleeping may be troubled, exercising regularly aids sleep and eases natural birth, remember to have Kiya massage your legs and feet before bed for relaxation."

Paige chuckled, "Brother, coming from you, it sounds particularly... dissonant!"

"What does dissonant mean?"

"Just seems like something you wouldn’t say."

Paige approached Adrian, realizing his coat was somewhat wrinkled, his face weary, eyes bloodshot, apparent signs of poor rest.

Paige’s smile faded, her concern evident as she asked, "Are you not resting well? Why do you look so tired?"

Adrian adored sensory indulgence, wearing costly clothes that needed to be pressed without folds.

"The twins have been fussy lately, haven’t rested well at night."

"When Dylan was that age, I was also exhausted, twins must be harder, if needed, hire a nanny for you and your wife."

"I know."

Adrian turned to Kiya, telling his sister, "I have some matters to discuss with Kiya, will talk to you later."

Paige sensed something was amiss; Adrian’s presence was abrupt, his obviously burdened demeanor evident.

The tone wasn’t one indicating her presence welcomed... not often were things hidden from her, why now?

"Haven’t you eaten yet? I’ll head to the kitchen and have them prepare more breakfast." Paige said.

"Alright."

Paige glanced at her brother, then Kiya. Kiya advised, "Your belly’s big now, don’t prepare breakfast yourself."

"Understood."

Kiya, not at ease, assigned someone to oversee Paige, leaving Paige at a loss for words.
