Chapter 456
Lydis found it hard to accept
She turned to Sarnma, whose face mirrored her shock, and asked, “Is he your biological father?”
Sienna was completely stunned. “I don’t know!”
Sienna had spent her whole life thinking she was part of the Lyons family.
Sienna could not help

Howard frowned. “It’s true. Do you have a problem with that?”
Howard had never been particularly fond of Sienna as a daughter
Compared to Andrea, Sienna was much more foolish.
The only reason Howard had chosen Sienna was that her birth chart clashed more strongly with Phoebe’s and that she was easier to control
But now,
he was starting to regret that decision.
Sienna did not know what to feel.
My biological father is some old guy? What on earth did my mother see in Mr. Falke? And Reece’s mother–what was she thinking she thought.
Sienna had met Finnian before, and in terms of looks, demeanor, and overall presence, he was leagues ahead of Howard.
Howard caught the flicker of distaste in Sienna’s eyes, and his expression darkened.
“I became like this because I was implicated by you and suffered many backlashes,” he said angrily.
Otherwise, he would still be just as young and dashing as ever in front of his women.
Noticing his displeasure, Sienna quickly forced a bright smile and acted excited. “Dad, I can’t believe it! You’re really my father! That’s wonderful!
“Whatever, having an old father is still better than having that useless, broke father, she thought.
Sienna mally understood why there had always been a horoscope master helping her
It was not her brother-it was actually her biological father supporting her from behind the scenes.
Having = powerful chairman as her biological father was nothing but good news for Sienna
Therefore, Sienna quiody came to terms with the truth,
Howard’s expression softeled
This daughter is a little useless, but at least she knows how to read the room, he thought.
Lydia’s expression darkened again as she watched them acknowledge each other
She pursed her lips and asked Howard, “Back then, you were the one who told Sienna’s mother to take my biological daughter and hand her to the human traficken““.
Howard could not be bothered to hide it anymore. “So what if I am?”
Seeing that Lydia still wanted to question him, fie casually added, “Sienna was also part of my plan. I planted her in your family on purpose. My pial man in stral your family’s luck”

At this moment, she greatly regretted it. She had been utterly deceived by Howard.
If she had known the truth, she never would have called Phoebe here today.
Phoebe cant her a sidelong glance. “I told you over and over that he’s not a good person. But you refused to listen, thinking I was just trying to go against you.
Well, now you can cry and beg all you want, but you have no choice but to accept it.”

Howard had already realized that The Great Warlock was actually working with Phoebe to deal with him.

Had Howard not plotted against him first, The Great Warlock would not have wanted to make an enemy out of him.
But now, his son was as good as ruined.
While not dead, his body’s foundation had been permanently damaged by sorcery. He could never cultivate again, condemned to live as an
ordinary person
Worse still, his constitution would remain frail, and even with proper care, his lifespan was now limited.
The Great Warlock, seethed with rage–there was no way he was letting Howard off the hook
Howard froze. “Are you sure you weren’t deceived by Thorbe

With a flick of has finger, a venomous snake, about the length of a palm, sprang toward Howard.
Howard was prepared. He immediately tossed out a talisman to counter the attack.
But at that moment, Phoebe also threw a talisman–landing precisely on his.
The moment the two talismans made contact, they burst into flames, turning to ashes,
With nothing left to stop in, the venomous snake sank its fangs into Howard’s arm.
Realizing he had been thoroughly outplayed, Howard ripped the snake in half with his bare hands and hastily swallowed an antidote pill.
Pressing a hand to his injured arm, Howard narrowed his eyes at Phoebe and muttered. “I never thought that the hunter would one day become the

But this time—this was the first time he had been so completely and utterly outwitted. It left him filled with frustration and resentment.
