The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 605 - 646: The Unbearable Past That Was Discovered
"Sixth... Sixth Master?"
The person standing in front of him was none other than their Sixth Master.
Walter Klein couldn’t understand how the Sixth Master, who was just sweating profusely on the training field, had appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the Sixth Master’s expression, he realized that the Sixth Master had heard every word he had just said behind his back. What should he do now?
"So, you really wish that Sienna and I would break up?"
As expected of the Sixth Master, he immediately accused Walter Klein of such a serious crime.
Cold sweat broke out on Walter Klein’s forehead. He wished he could slap himself for his careless words.
"Sixth Master, did you have a fight with Madam?"
"None of your damn business!"
"Madam is pregnant, and pregnant women should avoid any stress..."
He scrutinized Adrian Desmond’s expression. Seeing that he was listening attentively, Walter Klein gathered the courage to continue speaking.
"Sixth Master, Madam is not unreasonable. If she is really angry, it must be something serious... I don’t know what you did to make Madam kick you out."
Adrian Desmond shot a fierce glare at Walter Klein, causing him to lower his head and stop talking.
"Come with me."
Walter Klein followed. Brett Jacobs started to follow too, but Adrian Desmond frowned and said, "You, don’t follow me. Go train those people properly tonight. Those guys are becoming more and more useless; more than fifty of them can’t even beat me alone."
Brett Jacobs muttered under his breath, That’s because you’re the Sixth Master! If anyone could defeat you easily, how could you still be called ’Master’?
The training field was a dreadful sight. The Sixth Master was cruel and merciless, never going easy just because it was training.
According to the Sixth Master, "Don’t think that training is a time to let your guard down. If you don’t give it your all on the training field, you’ll lose your life on the real battlefield!"
"Anyone hurt?"
"It’s nothing, just a broken arm," Felix Taylor dismissed nonchalantly.
Broken limbs were considered light injuries. Several people lay there covered in blood, unmoving. It wasn’t clear if they were still alive.
Little Ninth rushed over with a medical kit. Looking at the people lying around in disarray, he yelled, "Did you guys train with my Sixth Brother again?"
No one answered him.
"Next time you want to get yourselves killed, don’t come crying to me! I’m very busy; I don’t have time to deal with you lunatics." Despite his words, he quickly began administering first aid to the injured.
"Little Ninth, it’s just a broken leg, no big deal. You should treat the severely injured first," Felix Taylor said.
"You guys..." Little Ninth was at a loss for words.
"Little Ninth, Sixth Brother was in a bad mood. If we hadn’t sparred with him, what would we have done if Sixth Brother got too pent-up?"
Little Ninth glared at Felix Taylor. "Bandage your own leg!"
"Little Ninth, I can’t do it myself, bro."
「...」
Adrian Desmond took Walter Klein into his study; he was clearly taking Walter’s words seriously.
"...You’ve probably heard about her plan to build a bird’s nest processing factory on the island. Well, that woman insisted on discussing business with me. I wasn’t happy about her always keeping things so separate between us. So, I joked that I’d pressure her for sex, make her sleep with me for a night, and then she just blew up and told me to get out!"
Adrian Desmond, swallowing his pride, poured out all his grievances to Walter Klein.
"Ever since I married her, she’s been treating me like a damn kid! Even when my father was alive, he never constantly pointed at my nose and told me to get lost!"
I have my pride too, damn it!
"Don’t you think she’s going too far?"
Walter Klein was speechless. She tells you to scram, and you actually scram. Talk about obedient, he thought, but he didn’t dare say it out loud.
"Analyze it for me. What the hell is she thinking?" Adrian Desmond pleaded.
After some thought, Walter Klein said, "The problem naturally lies with the ’pressuring her for sex’ remark."
Adrian Desmond didn’t understand. "We’re husband and wife, so what’s wrong with me joking about pressuring her for sex? She clearly knew I was joking! Why did she take it so seriously?"
"She immediately gave me such a nasty look!"
"Sixth Master, is it possible that when Madam was conducting business with others, someone tried to pressure her for sex, and perhaps even actually..." Walter Klein paused, then continued more vaguely, "...took advantage of her? Could that be why her reaction was so strong?"
Walter Klein’s words were like a sudden enlightenment for Adrian Desmond.
"Are you saying other men tried to use business deals as an opportunity to pressure her for sex?"
"Apart from this, I can’t think of any other reason. Sixth Master, you know Madam’s temperament better than I do. She isn’t narrow-minded. Something must have touched a raw nerve to make her lose her temper like that."
Adrian Desmond lowered his head, twisting the ring on his finger as he mulled over Walter Klein’s words. Walter Klein stood by, knowing Adrian Desmond had taken his words to heart.
"Go investigate if anything happened when Sienna was conducting business, especially around the time she first took over Eastminster Group," Adrian Desmond ordered.
"Yes, Sixth Master!"
"Do it quietly. I don’t want Sienna to know about this."
"Understood."
"I want the results by tonight."
Walter Klein was troubled. However, seeing Adrian Desmond’s stern expression, he knew that saying anything discouraging at this point wouldn’t change his decision. He had no choice but to brace himself and agree.
「...」
Adrian Desmond’s network was vast. By the next morning, all the information had been clearly investigated. Adrian Desmond, however, had sat in his study all night.
Walter Klein had initially only made a conjecture, but even he was shocked when the investigation revealed the truth.
Sienna had not only been groped but also drugged, narrowly escaping ruin. The sheer danger of it all made even Walter Klein break out in a cold sweat for her when he saw the report.
Seeing the Sixth Master’s darkened face and murderous aura, Walter Klein silently lit a candle in his heart for those unfortunate bastards.
The Sixth Master’s woman... they actually dared to touch her. They’re courting death!
Groped, forced to drink until she had alcohol poisoning, drugged, nearly violated... This was what Adrian Desmond’s investigation had uncovered.
Looking at a photo of a man as fat as a pig, Adrian Desmond whipped out a dagger and stabbed it through the man’s eye in the picture. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Courting death!
Adrian Desmond singled out the photos of the men who had taken advantage of Sienna. "Anyone who touched my woman, chop off their hands! As for the one who drugged her, find some men to gang-rape his wife, then inject him with psychoactive drugs!"
"Remember! Don’t let them die too quickly. Torture them longer. They dared to lay a hand on my woman—do they think I’m dead or something?"
"I’ll arrange for it immediately!"
"Don’t let Madam find out."
"I understand, Sixth Master."
"Go," Adrian Desmond said, waving his hand to dismiss Walter Klein.
