The Wrong Woman

The next morning, Sienna sought out Clement to return his phone and jewelry. "I'm sorry, but I can't keep these. And I can't help you, either," she said calmly.

With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Clement sat with crossed legs. He frowned as he asked, "So you're refusing to settle Felix's debt or accept the money and the villa?"

Initially, Sienna accepted those gifts to keep Clement at bay while she strategized with Daniel on how to infiltrate Clement's inner circle. She wanted to gather crucial information for Daniel.

However, since Daniel disagreed with her approach, Sienna saw no reason to continue the facade.

"Clement, please consider letting Felix go. He's innocent. The gambling debt was a setup. Can we just let it go?" Sienna asked.

Clement erupted into laughter as if he'd heard the funniest joke ever.

Sienna knew her request was a long shot, but she kept her composure. "If you won't release Felix, I'll take legal action to protect our rights."

Clement flicked the ashes off his cigarette and sneered, "You got to pay up when you owe money. That's just how it goes. Gambling debts are no different. They have to be taken care of. Don't be so naive, miss."
