Well, well. It seems like Cameron is currently under investigation. John is fast!
She sneered. “You deserve it for taking Anth away from me. That baby came at the wrong time. He didn’t want to be born, so I merely gave him what he wanted—death.”
I pursed my lips as a fresh swell of rage rose in me. Scanning her venomous being, I let out an abrupt laugh. “That means your mother shouldn’t exist in this world too. Do you know what will happen to her next? Come, let me explain everything.”
Seeing how furious she was, my voice grew increasingly cold. “Next, she’ll be charged for bribery, theft, murder, and illegal trading. Then, her assets would be seized and auctioned off. Even if you and Zachary could get her out of jail, she’ll be left with nothing.”
I paused and let out a sinister chuckle. “She used to be a wealthy and powerful woman. Now, she’d returned to square one, broke and left with nothing. Do you think she can handle the pain? By the way, I heard that the youngest daughter of the Moore family, Emery Moore, is back. You must be in a tight spot now. If she loses everything, I wonder how you’ll survive in the Moore family.”
As the color drained out of Rylee’s face, I shrugged casually. “Well, I can’t wait for that to happen.”
“Sienna, you b*tch!” She raised her hand to give me a slap, but I gripped her wrist before she could do that.
Her gaze was ablaze with fury and killing intent.
I released her and chuckled lightly. “Don’t stare at me. I know you hate me, but I can’t help it. I’m sorry, Rylee.”
Utterly furious, her lips curled into a smirk. “Do you really think I care? Yes, I can’t be with Anthony anymore. But he’ll never forget about me. After knowing that my mother is in trouble, he has arranged everything nicely for me. Even without the Moore family’s help, I can survive abroad with his arrangements.” She sneered, “Scarlet, you’ll live under my shadows forever. I might be suffering, but so are you!”
I was overwhelmed momentarily by her words. Anthony has thought of everything.
When I snapped back to reality, Rylee was gazing at me smugly. “He might be your husband, but he’ll grow sick of you one day. Time will tell everything. By then, no matter what has become of me, he’ll still take care of me. Sienna, you might think you’ve won, but the truth is, you’ve lost miserably.”
Shrugging casually, I pretended as if I wasn’t bothered. “Congratulations in advance, then. Regardless of how he’ll treat me in the future, it doesn’t matter to me now. No one knows what will happen in the future, right?”
Her breathing got heavier, as though she couldn’t understand why I was still calm. She raised her hand to try to hit me again, but thought the better of it.
“Tell me what you’re going to do next. Sienna, since things have gotten ugly now, you don’t have to keep it a secret anymore.”
I smiled faintly. “Why would I do so? I’ve always been a bad b*tch. When I take revenge, I like to torture my enemy. An instant kill is not fun at all. Torturing her is far more interesting. I’ll watch as everything slips out of her reach slowly while she has a mental breakdown. Just thinking about it sends a thrill of anticipation through me. It won’t be fun if I reveal everything to you now.”
“You must be crazy!” Rylee’s face contorted with anger. “Sienna, if you insist on making me suffer, I’ll make your life a living hell, too!”
She might be enraged, but this was my house. In the end, she spun on her heels and left in a huff.
Before she left, she hissed, “Sienna, if I can’t have it, nobody else will!”
She was so overwhelmed with hatred. My drowsiness faded away as I stood at the door blankly.
“You’re good at pissing people off.” Sally’s voice sounded from behind.
I glanced at her coolly and said nothing.
Even though I ignored her, she continued, “Cameron is particularly vengeful. You should either defeat her entirely or make sure she ends up in jail forever. Otherwise, if she comes back later, you’ll be in trouble.”
I stared at her calmly. “Are you saying I should kill her once and for all?”
After all, only the dead wouldn’t be able to make a comeback.
She snickered, “You can try that.”
How ruthless of her.
Our conversation ended after that. I entered the kitchen and told Mrs. Eriksen to prepare some ginger carrot soup for me.
I was talking to her when Anthony’s call came in. His voice was crisp and clear as usual. “Are you at home? Do you have any cravings? I can buy them for you.”
I racked my brains and mentioned a few dishes.
“I’ll be home in fifteen minutes!”
After hanging up, Mrs. Eriksen giggled. “What a loving couple. Letty, why don’t you plan for another child in spring? I can’t wait to see that.”
I was taken aback. Another child?
I’ve never thought of having another child after the miscarriage. I couldn’t even protect my first child, so I dared not dream of having another.
“Sienna, you’re far more ruthless than I imagine!” Out of nowhere, Sally rushed in and smashed my bowl onto the ground. “Did I ever offend you? Why are you forcing me into a corner?” she pointed at me and demanded angrily.
Huh?
I frowned in confusion. “What did I do?”
“The incident from ten years ago is all over the news. Besides the three dead Whites, you and I are the only ones in the know. Tell me. Why would I ruin my own reputation? That leaves only you, Sienna. There’s no one else!”
As fury overcame her, she picked up a shard of broken glass on the ground and came for my face.
I couldn’t well dodge her attack as I hadn’t expected it. The glass shard was about to slit my cheek when someone suddenly grabbed the glass shard in Sally’s hand.
Stunned, I looked up and saw Anthony. Blood had started to trickle down from his palm.
Immediately, I shoved Sally away and gazed at Anthony with concern. “Are you alright?”
I squeezed his hand and forced him to open his palm. The glass shard had pierced his skin, creating a deep slash. “Does it hurt?”
He combed my hair with his other hand. “No. What happened?”
Sally regained her composure on the ground. Instead of getting to her feet, she told Anthony, “You should ask her. She’s cruel enough to scheme against her own relative!”
Anthony’s lips thinned. With his brows knitted up, he returned, “Even if she’s cruel, she’d never try to slash another woman’s face with a sharp object.”
A hint of anger crept into his voice.
Sally paled visibly. “I could ruin her looks, but she had ruined the rest of my life! Anthony, don’t be fooled by her!”
Anthony’s gaze landed on me. “What exactly happened?”
I shook my head. At the sight of the blood pooling in his palm, I told Mrs. Eriksen to get the first aid kit. “I don’t know. Aunt Sally, what is going on?”
Sally sneered. “You don’t know? Sienna, you’re good at putting up an act, huh?” She yelled, “Weren’t you the one who told the reporter why I married Benjamin ten years ago? You even exposed Sharon’s scandal and how I forced Sharon to her death by using the scandal to threaten her!”
I frowned at her words. Indeed, I knew everything. After Benjamin’s passing, Sally revealed this piece of news to Sharon, causing her to go crazy and jump off a building in guilt.
However, I’ve never told anyone about it.
Anthony stared at me as his brows snapped together. “Was it you?”
Shaking my head, I denied. “No!”
Nodding, Anthony’s voice turned icy. “She said it wasn’t her,” he told Sally coolly. “I trust her. You’d better have evidence before touching her. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay for your actions.”
