The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 696

Sienna thought she was usually open-minded, but Daniel had a way of making her feel overwhelmed.

She looked down bashfully and muttered, "I'd rather not talk about this anymore."

Daniel smiled affectionately at her and gently patted her head. "Have you had dinner?"

Sienna glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already after 9:00 pm. She had cooked dinner around 7:00 pm, waiting for him to come home. Unexpectedly, she ended up falling asleep for over two hours.

She wasn't feeling hungry anymore.

"I've lost my appetite," Sienna said as she stood up from his lap and moved to the couch. With a serious expression, she picked up the black box and the phone from the table. "Daniel, we need to talk."

Daniel sat up straight, leaning in toward her with a solemn expression.

Sienna passed the items to Daniel and explained, "A man named Clement Russo gave me this fancy set of diamond jewelry and a phone as a bribe."

Daniel accepted the jewelry box, opened it, and examined the diamonds closely. "If these diamonds are real, they're likely worth about a hundred thousand. The phone doesn't seem as valuable."

Sienna added softly, "This was just his gift for our first meeting. But if I agree, he's willing to offer me millions more."

"Clement Russo?" Daniel's voice turned serious.

Sienna nodded. "Yes."

Daniel placed the jewelry aside and asked, "What exactly does he want from you?"

Sienna shook her head. "I'm not sure. I didn't agree right away, so he asked me to come back and consider his offer."

Daniel's expression hardened as he fixed his gaze on Sienna with a serious look. It made her feel uneasy.

He was familiar with Clement, who was among the people he was currently investigating. Knowing Clement's keen intellect, Daniel couldn't believe he would make such a simple mistake.

Sienna couldn't bring herself to tell him that their relationship might not go any further. Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, making it tough for her to speak. She kept her head down, unable to look him in the eye.

As Daniel noticed Sienna looking guilty and avoiding him, a feeling of dread began to settle in his mind.

After a long silence from her, Daniel nervously reached for her hand and gently stroked it. "Sisi, I'll take care of the two million. You don't have to pretend to agree with Clement. Being an undercover agent is too risky. I won't let you take such risks."

"I'm sorry, Daniel. I—"

Daniel's unease intensified. Drawing nearer to Sienna, he said anxiously, "Sisi, I'll take care of Felix's debt. Just steer clear of Clement and cut ties with him completely."

"It's not what you think. Actually—"

Daniel's anger flared. "Sienna, the two million is a gift from me. You don't need to pay it back. Don't say that to me. I don't want to hear it."
