The Villain’s Redemption - Chapter 353

God knows that Sienna, or even Lily, made a lot of mistakes in the past. However, none of those things was comparable to the mistake that she did when she know Grant was in love with her.

Sienna underestimated the feelings of the male lead.

It should be the first lesson.

Leads can be very, very pushy.

It was irritating. And definitely enough to ruin her day.

But she couldn’t just push Grant away.

“So— wait— ” Sienna held her palm in front of Grant. “Did you finally snap?” It had been a few hours since Scarlette was taken to the police station. This time, the police wanted to keep her in prison.

But that is not the problem.

The problem is the man following her around like her life was in danger!

“What are you talking about?”

“Grant! You just told me you will marry Amanda as long as I agree to keep you next to me. What the hell are you talking about?” Sienna had seen a lot of weirdness before but… this is just a different type of weirdness.

To be honest, she was already suspecting that this man would imprison her in a castle just to keep her by his side.

‘Hey Robot! How did it all come to this?’

Of course, the unreliable system said nothing.

‘Why are you allowing him to change the plot?’ again, she asked.

[The male lead and female lead are going to end up with each other. That’s the plot.]

‘So… even if they don’t love each other as long as they end up together, it’s alright?’ What the heck?

Just what kind of craziness is this?

“Are you out of your mind?” she added when Grant didn’t answer her.

“Being alone is not safe,” Grant said. “I just want to be with you.”

‘System, can you please take me out of this place?’

[Side Quest: The reincarnator defied the laws of nature. Destroy her reputation and give her the fate that she deserved.]

[Status: not completed]

[Extraction not allowed]

Wow. So she can’t leave yet!

But most importantly…

‘What do I need to complete that task?’

She already ruined Scarlette’s reputation. Moreover, she was already in jail. How come the mission isn’t done yet?

When the system didn’t answer, Sienna decided to just focus on the situation at hand. “You are not leaving?” she asked. “If you want to sleep in my house, then go to the guest room.” Was he planning to say inside her room?

Just the thought of it made her irritated.

She couldn’t help but blame Scarlette for everything that had happened. Because of Scarlette, Grant didn’t meet Amanda on time. Because of Scarlette, she fell in love with his sister, instead of the original female lead!

Seeing that Grant wasn’t planning on moving, Sienna squinted at him.

Now that she thought about it…

“Alright. You win!” Sienna said. “Since you wanted to stay so badly, then fine. You win.” She is going to leave anyway. It’s better to stop arguing with this man!

“You will let me marry Amanda?”

“Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” Sienna noticed the disappointment in his voice. Wait… did he expect her to tell him not to marry Amanda? Did he expect her to tell him he could stay even if he didn’t marry her?

This man…

“So… I will marry Amanda?”

What the fuck? “Of course! Do what you like. I’m tired. Please leave me alone.”

The only thing that she wanted was to leave this world!

After a while, Grant finally left her room.

Sienna didn’t know if she would laugh or cry at the current situation.

Still, she couldn’t help but be curious if Amanda would really agree to that marriage proposal.

And what would happen if Amanda discover Grant married her because he wanted to stay next to Sienna?

What a complicated life.

This was totally unexpected.

Unable to sleep, Sienna started making calls.

Since the system wanted her to completely ruin Scarlette, then she would do just that.

…..

One month later

Scarlette felt like someone, an unknown force, had been watching her. She dragged herself to the only vacant table inside the cafeteria of the corrections facility for troubled women.

It has been a month since she came here. And every day had been hell.

Everyone had been bullying her, treating her like a slave.

She had been doing everything from cleaning toilets to laundry, and her food was the worse.

Sometimes, many women would take away her soup and meat, leaving her with rice and nothing else.

Actually, saying that it was hell was an understatement.

This was… worse the hell!

She had been in hell in her past life.

And this… everything that she was going through right now is worse than hell!

{Breaking news; ROUSE TECH CEO Grant Rouse announced her engagement to colleague Amanda Bane.}

The news immediately caught her attention.

Engage?

Grant and Amanda?

But — But —

She looked at the exclusive video that was taken when the chairman of Rouse Tech, Grant’s father, announced the news to the media. Behind him was Grant, who was smiling at Amanda.

“Hey… b*tch!” Scarlette’s eyes snapped towards the group of women who approached her. “I need food. Give us your meat.”

Scarlette gritted her teeth. As much as she wanted to fight against them, she couldn’t

Even the guards would not do anything about these women!

For some reason, she felt that this had something to do with whoever it was that was silently watching her.

In the end, Scarlette just nodded and gave them her food. The news in the background was still playing. This time, the hosts said that they would soon schedule an interview with the couple.

….

Grant had an ominous feeling today.

He couldn’t understand what was happening. He had checked the weather, his schedule, and even the software that he had been working on. But nothing bad came up.

Still, the feeling stayed with him even after he finished working.

‘Must be the weather,’ he muttered inwardly as he eyed the rain. He was already on his way to Sienna’s house to spend the night. Amanda would soon move into the flat next to Sienna’s, and everything had been hectic for everyone.

Walking inside the house, his anxiety started to spike. He frowned. Did something happen?

Of course, he immediately went to check on Sienna. He was confident that she was inside the house, just as she promised him. She isn’t going anywhere without him.

When Sienna didn’t answer the door, the frown in between his brows deepened. He turned the knob and realize that it was open. This only made him feel worse.

Since he started living in this place, Sienna started locking his door.

But… why was it open now?

He slowly walked inside and notice the darkness. The blackout curtains made the room darker.

“Hey….” He said as he sat on the bed. “Did you have dinner?” It was still seven and Sienna was already asleep? Now, that is new.

She was no longer the CEO of ROUSE TECH, but she was still busy with various things. Grant knew that Sienna sleeps around ten or eleven in the evening.

He started to wonder if she wasn’t feeling well.

“Hey…”

When Sienna didn’t answer, he slowly put his palm on her forehead.

Slowly, the gentleness on his face vanished. His face lost its color, his heart thudded against his chest.. “S— Sienna?” his voice trembled.
