Chapter 7
That afternoon, Senna came home and immediately started writing frantically.
Soon she took her new composition to Preston.
“This is music I just composed. I want it to be my homecoming debut-I want to perform tonight at the grand theater.”
“Tonight? Isn’t that too rushed?”
“My hand is injured. There’s no time. While my fingers can still move, I want to complete my last performance ever.”
Senna looked at Preston with almost pleading eyes:
I’ll announce my retirement after the show and reveal our engagement. The Kane family’s profile will definitely rise.”
Preston nodded. As he turned to leave, he said:
I’m so happy that you thought of me in danger. From now on, I’ll protect you.”
enna nodded obediently;
You’re all I have left, Preston.”

you all for coming to my performance. This piece was composed for my sister Scarlett and her mother Ms. Ruby Martinelli.”
“Like the piece I wrote for my mother before, I praise their courage in fighting fate and protecting what they cherished. So this piece is called ‘Guardian Watch.”
“Unfortunately, they have both passed away, but they gave me courage and strength.”
“Now I want to pass on this courage and strength.”
Such official words, so boring.
1 yawned.
But Senna’s next words shocked me so much I fell off the ceiling.
“I. Senna Rivers, formally accuse Preston Kane, Lucas Manning and others of illegal imprisonment, rape, and human trafficking. The trafficked women are currently awaiting rescue in the red brick buildings in Millbrook District,”
Preston stood beside Senna holding a rose like a complete joke.
All his prepared romantic declarations were now useless.
The spotlight hit his face in all colors-it was ridiculous.
This really was a spectacular show!
Media members pushed forward with microphones asking questions, people held up phones taking photos, and the online livestream reached millions of
viewers.
The massive uproar crushed Preston’s spine.
Senna’s move caught everyone completely off guard.
She looked at Preston, who kept muttering “impossible,” and said:
“When I was imprisoned by Lucas Manning, I didn’t think to call anyone for help at first.”
“But I know the Manning family alone couldn’t plan trafficking on this scale.”
“I’m just a sister who wanted to know who really killed my sister.”
Even if I died the second after learning the truth, I wouldn’t care.”
‘So I called the person in Lucas’s contacts labeled ‘Boss.’ The moment I heard your voice, I planned all of this.”
Senna watched the police cars roaring up and Preston’s futile struggles, saying softly:
Sister, I got revenge for you.”
At that moment, my body began to fade.

didn’t want to die. I struggled and begged him for help.
Preston looked at me and said:
You’re pretty hot, just look a bit slutty. Your sister must be a good fuck.”
Preston whistled as he walked away, and I died filled with hatred.
I watched Preston being dragged to the police car and flipped him off.
“Go to hell, you bastard!”
The doe-eyed girl on the ground tearfully apologized to Senna.
She said Preston had threatened her into lying to my sister, but thankfully my sister saw through it all.
So wonderful-everyone was saved.
The bad guys got what they deserved too.
Sister, I’m going back to heaven now.
I’ll watch over you from above, always.
