My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 823

Chapter 823: Penetration

"Enough, I don't want to hear you say these things. Have you forgotten about Rex so quickly? Aren't you afraid he'll find out what you're doing now?"

"What should I be afraid of? We've already separated. Besides, isn't this what you wanted? So why do you use him as an excuse to evade my words?"

Sienna coldly smirked, her expression unusually bleak.

She looked at Mario, whose face was extremely ugly, without any reaction. She told Mario, "Brother, I'm tired. If you have nothing else to say, I'm going to rest."

Without waiting for Mario's response, she turned and went upstairs.

Mario didn't follow her. He just stood there and watched her go in, until he couldn't see any figure anymore. Then he took out his phone and made a call, saying, "Find out who the man is that Sienna has been in contact with."

Mario had an unhappy expression on his face as he walked towards his car and drove away.

From their conversation, Rex naturally understood the general idea.

Of course, he also heard clearly the words she said that had nothing to do with him. Although he understood the meaning behind her words, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable listening to them.

However, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew deeper and deeper, eventually becoming uncontrollable.

He stayed in the car for a while, making sure that Sienna wouldn't go out again and that no one would come to see her before driving away.

He thought he had concealed it very well, but he didn't know that Camille had already told her about his arrival in Flento City a long time ago.

Naturally, she also knew that since he had come to Flento City, he wouldn't miss secretly watching her.

But neither of them would worry about possible misunderstandings because they had made an agreement.

Although they didn't contact each other, they constantly kept each other in mind.

Sienna stood on the balcony, watching the black car's headlights light up before returning to her room.

She sent Camille a voice message, saying, "Darling, thank you! I feel so energized now. I think I can fight for another five hundred years. I'm fully charged."

Camille replied quickly, saying, "You're welcome! Thank your charger!"

Seeing the word "charger," Sienna couldn't help but laugh.

Her mood also became exceptionally good.

However, her behavior displeased Mario. Starting the next day, working hours were extended, and she was allowed to leave only after Mario permitted.

This forced control made Sienna feel extremely oppressed, but she endured it silently without any complaints or resistance.

This silence didn't mean she truly accepted it. It could also mean that she was accumulating some kind of strength, ready to launch at any moment.

Rex returned to Hance City the next afternoon.

Ayan, of course, couldn't personally go to pick him up, but he still arranged for a driver to go to the airport and pick him up.

Ayan was in the middle of briefing Kian on work when Rex walked in and accused Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, you've gone a bit too far, haven't you?"

Ayan glanced at him with indifference, not sensing any excessiveness in his actions. He replied in a cold tone, "Speak up. What do you want to tell me in person?"

Rex refused to speak directly. Instead, he walked over to the sofa, sat down casually, and then said, "Ayan, if you don't treat me to a meal today, I won't say it. So, it's up to you."

"You really won't say it?"

"Yes, I really won't."

"Fine, then don't say it. Kian, see the guest out."

Ayan wasn't joking at all. After saying this, he lowered his gaze and started working, showing no sign of hesitation or reluctance as Rex prepared to leave. He treated Rex as if he were invisible.

The feeling of being ignored completely stunned Rex. He looked at Kian, standing by the door, both helpless and dumbfounded. He shrugged and said, "Kian, look at this. Is he even human? I mean, you work under this kind of demon. Are you really okay?"

Kian chuckled softly, walked in, poured a cup of coffee for Rex, and placed it in front of him with a slight smile. He said, "Mr. Baxter, if you have something to say, please go ahead. Otherwise, Mr. Simpson can endure until you can't hold it anymore without any wavering."

After Kian finished speaking, he quietly exited the office.

Rex was left speechless for several seconds, then a faint smile appeared on his face. He had made up his mind and immediately got up, walking towards Ayan's desk, his attitude and voice completely different from before. He said softly, "Ayan, I was just joking with you earlier. Since I promised to help you investigate this matter, I'm definitely on your side. Whatever I find out, I will tell you without any reservations."

Ayan didn't make a sound or respond, just continued to focus on the documents in his hands. Rex wasn't deterred by this coldness and disregard. He continued, "Ayan, I've been investigating people related to Preston. Care to guess what I found?"
