Chapter: 986

“Nikolas, watch how you speak to me! I'm just outside your door. Do you want me to tell that woman about your daughter?"

"Damn it, Siena! Are you trying to ruin everything?"

"I'd rather face ruin than live like this!"

Nikolas' teeth audibly ground together over the phone.

“Leave my property now!"

“Then come and see me!" Siena demanded, setting her terms.

“I'm at work. How can I just leave?"

“If it were her, you'd find a way. If you can do it for her, you can do it for me." Siena's voice turned icy. “If you're not here in thirty minutes, I'll tell her everything."

Nikolas likely didn't anticipate Siena daring to confront him so boldly over the phone.

Yet there she was, right at the doorstep of his house, with Aimee inside.

He had no choice.

“Fine, come to the Bates Group headquarters. I'll meet you downstairs, okay?"

"You're trying to get me to leave?"

“Siena, don't push your luck! Even if you tell Aimee, the worst that could happen is she fights with me or breaks up with me, but I will never marry you!"

Siena clenched her fists.

Deep down, she realized she couldn't really tell Aimee. Firstly, she feared Nikolas might retaliate against her family's business.

Secondly, once her leverage was gone, she'd lose any power over Nikolas.

But for now, she still had a chance to negotiate and meet him.

“Alright, I'll come to the Bates Group to see you. Siena added, “And don't ignore my calls again!"

“Enough talk."

Nikolas hung up abruptly, offering her no further patience.

Siena took a deep breath, gazing up at Nikolas’ villa.

Someday, she envisioned herself living there, as Nikolas’ wife.

What was this ordeal now, compared to the future? As long as Nikolas acknowledged the child and the Bennett family became aware, they wouldn't be able to ignore her.
