Chapter 208

With her pretty eyes, Sienna stared at Oliver for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter. “You, oh, you. I was just scaring you! You’re quite naive and gullible, aren’t you?”

Hearing that, Oliver breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Sienna over to pinch her face. “Why are you scaring me? I’m a bit timid, you know.”

Sienna snorted. “You, timid? I think you have a lot of nerve. Forget it. I won’t talk any more nonsense with you.”

As Sienna chattered and chattered, she soon ran out of things to talk about, and she sighed faintly before saying, “Well, your boss, Hailey, is actually quite pitiful. She hasn’t had a mother since childhood, and now, her father is gone. She’s all alone abroad without any family, Oliver.” After a pause, Sienna suddenly looked up at him and suggested, “How about we take her back?”

Oliver was stunned.

A woman’s heart was deep and unpredictable. Nobody could decipher what it was that a woman wanted to do.

After saying that, Sienna also realized how her words sounded a little insincere. Hence, she diverted to a different topic and asked Oliver, “How is Yancy?”

Upon bringing up Yancy, Oliver’s thoughts were split as if he were stuck at a crossroads. He nodded and said, “I haven’t figured out the cause of the illness yet. Uncle Frederick’s mother-in-law, Melinda, asked for someone to bring a priest. She thought that Yancy was being possessed by evil spirits and wanted that priest to perform an exorcism.”

“Damn, that doesn’t make…” Sienna blurted without thinking. However, quickly, she recalled all the inconceivable things that happened when she was with Oliver. Those inconceivable things did not even make sense, either. Just as the word “sense” was about to escape her mouth, she swallowed it back. “I’ve also heard about Yancy.” Sienna furrowed her brows as she spoke and thought, “I have never heard nor seen a situation like this before. Anyway, I think it’s weird and abnormal!”

If he were to give her a gift, it must be expensive and of good quality. However, her eye for authenticating materials and their quality was not comparable to Oliver’s, so she could not tell whether the crystal was of good or bad quality. Despite that, it was fine to appreciate the crystal’s details. When Sienna looked at the crystal carefully, suddenly, the fog in it morphed into what seemed like an extremely strong vortex with immense power that sucked

No matter what, he felt that the situation involving Yancy felt too odd and eerie, and he did not want anything to latch on to Sienna. “Sienna, you’d better go home and have a rest. I’ll have someone take you home,” Oliver said after thinking it over, but Sienna did not answer him. Her gaze was still looking down, fixated on the crystal. “Sienna…” Oliver called out again and
