One after another, people commented on the thread, all talking about “Yara Bloom’s custom order“.
Everyone was asking each other how the person could possibly tell that this was a Yara Bloom exclusive gift
box.
After all, there wasn’t any branding on the box at all.
The girl, known as the daughter of the wealthiest man in the neighboring city, quickly replied: “When I had my coming–of–age party, my dad paid a huge sum to have Aeris, the chief designer at Yara Bloom, create a custom gown for me. I follow the Yara Bloom director on Twitter, and just yesterday, I saw him share a post showing off this gift box.”
After posting that, she added another comment: “This gift box is reserved only for the most exclusive custom orders. The gown I had made for 30 million dollars doesn’t even come close to Amanda’s.”
That one comment totally blew up the comments section.
“No wonder she’s the Cooper family’s heiress. Her mom got Aeris from Yara Bloom to do a top–tier custom job just for a coming–of–age party… I’m seriously jealous!”
“So these top–tier custom gowns start at 30 million dollars!”
“Amanda, are you planning to dazzle us all blind at tomorrow’s coming–of–age party?”
*****
Amanda scrolled through her screen, watching those comments pop up one after another.
All that envy, all that hate splashed across the feed–it made her burn with jealousy.
Her eyes were red, her face contorted with barely contained anger.
Yara Bloom’s top–tier custom order!
And it was custom–fitted by Master Aeris herself.
She couldn’t believe Mason would give Sienna a gift that extravagant.
Just thinking about how she’d tried so hard to show off her exclusive, Antonio–designed present in front of Sienna made her cringe inside.
She knew she must’ve looked like a complete clown.
‘Compared to Aeris, Antonio barely even registers,‘ Amanda thought.
‘He’d get totally wiped out. They’re worlds apart, not even close!‘
She’d wanted to show up tomorrow night at Sophie’s coming–of–age party in her custom Antonio dress, ready

I’m Amanda. I’m the brightest, the one who truly deserves to be called the Cooper family’s heiress, she told herself.
But if Sienna showed up wearing that top–tier custom gown from Yara Bloom, made especially by Master
Aeris…
As long as Sienna walked into the party, Amanda thought, everyone’s attention would be instantly drawn to
her.
‘How am I supposed to even get noticed?‘ Amanda gritted her teeth, panic rising inside her.
Any spotlight I had would be snatched away by Sienna, leaving me completely in her shadow. I’d end up just being part of the scenery–a mere background prop.‘
If she’d known this would happen, she never would’ve posted about it on Twitter. She never imagined anyone would recognize it as a Yara Bloom top–tier custom gown.
‘If tomorrow…‘ Amanda thought, her heart sinking.
‘If I don’t show up in that Yara Bloom top–tier custom gown…‘
Those socialites will have a field day with me, whispering and talking nonstop behind my back.
And if they catch sight of Sienna rocking that Yara Bloom top–tier custom gown…
‘If Sienna’s real identity gets out…‘ Amanda’s mind spiraled.
‘Wouldn’t that mean everything is exposed?‘
“Everyone will know I’m just a fake… just a wannabe Cooper heiress!‘ Amanda’s heart clenched.
Amanda’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the gift box in front of her, her eyes glued to it.
‘I just have to see what this so–called top–tier custom gown from Aeris actually looks like!‘ she thought, anxiety and defiance churning in her chest.
‘What if I “accidentally” mess up the gown a bit… Amanda schemed, the darkness in her heart whispering for her to make it look like a harmless mistake.
The wicked idea kept spreading, wrapping tighter around her thoughts and refusing to let go.
She slowly reached out her hand…
Just as her fingers were about to touch the gift box, a cold, clear voice sounded from behind her.
A cold, clear voice rang out from behind Amanda.

Amanda jumped in fright and spun around.
Sienna was somehow already standing behind her, arms crossed, her eyes chilly and full of disdain. “Back at it again, huh? Can’t help yourself with the whole thief routine?”
“I… I swear I wasn’t doing anything!” Amanda blurted, her face losing all color as she nervously shot a look over Sienna’s shoulder.
She was scared out of her wits that her mom might suddenly show up behind Sienna and catch her in the act.
Amanda rushed to explain, “Wait, you’ve got it all wrong! This is Mason’s gift for you–it’s insanely valuable. I was just worried Beatriz might get careless and mess it up somehow, so I thought I’d come check and make sure nothing happened to it…”
Sienna scoffed, arching a lazy brow and giving Amanda a sideways glance. “Don’t play dumb. You know exactly what you’re thinking. If you’re jealous, just admit it—why bother putting on an act?”
“Can’t get enough of playing thief, huh? Last time you sneaked into my room for my laptop, and now… honestly, it’s hard not to think you’re jealous out of your mind and trying to swipe the gift Mason gave me.”
She deliberately stressed, drawing out the words, “the gift Mason gave me.”
Her blunt words made Amanda’s face flicker between red and pale, embarrassment and fury warring for control.
In the end, her whole face twisted completely with rage.
She glared at Sienna’s cold, flawless face.
‘Sienna’s just some country bumpkin–so why does she always act like she’s better than everyone else?‘ Amanda seethed inside.
All the jealousy Amanda had been bottling up surged out of her.
She finally dropped the act and snapped, “Sienna, what are you so proud of? You really think you’re hot stuff just because you came back here? Listen to me–I’m the one everyone in the Cooper family truly loves! Grandpa, Mom, and Dad only ever cared about me! You’re just a nobody from the sticks who suddenly showed up out of nowhere. There’s no way you could ever measure up to my twenty years with them!
“And don’t go thinking that Grandpa and Mom and Dad treating you nice now means you can walk all over me! They’re just pitying you, that’s all! Once they see your true colors, they’ll know I’m the one who really. deserves to be the Cooper family heiress!”
“Oh?” Sienna arched a brow, her gaze full of mockery. “So you’re finally dropping the act?”
That laid–back, almost indifferent look on Sienna’s face only fueled Amanda’s fury. Her features twisted with rage, but she still managed a cold, mocking laugh. “What are you even so smug about? Take a look—you’ve been back forever, but has anyone in this house talked about throwing you a welcome home party? Has anyone actually announced you as the real Cooper heiress?

“You wanna know why? Because you’re just some country bumpkin! A loser who couldn’t even finish high school! Everyone in the family’s watching you, waiting to see if some nobody from the sticks is even good enough to be called a Cooper heiress–or if you’ll just make us all look bad!”
Sienna watched Amanda’s hysterics and just found it ridiculous.
The moment Sienna got back, Grandpa had straight–up asked when she wanted to hold her own welcome home party.
But honestly, Sienna thought to herself…
Her life was way too tangled up in secrets for that. Making her identity public would only bring trouble for
her.
If Baletin tried to retaliate, or if any of her secrets got out, her whole family might end up in real danger.
On the day she got her national award, Sienna used the moment to bring it up with her grandpa and dad.
She told them she had to lay low because of her whole secret–researcher gig at the institute, so for now, there’d be no big party or going public with who she really was.
Sienna stepped forward, her long, confident legs closing the distance with Amanda–every move radiating dominance.
She radiated an oppressive aura, her eyes cold and contemptuous; Amanda felt like she was being put in her place.
“Oh, really?” Sienna let out a mocking smile. “So, wanna make a bet?”
Amanda heard the teasing note in Sienna’s voice, her face darkening just a bit as she shot her a wary glare. “What’s the bet?” she spat, trying to sound tough.
“Let’s bet… that I’ll march straight over to Grandpa, Mom, and Dad right now and have them throw me a welcome home party–this very second. And then they’ll tell the whole world that I, Sienna, am the true Cooper heiress, while you…”
Sienna deliberately dragged out her words, her red lips curling into a mocking smile. “And you, Amanda, are nothing but a nest–stealing imposter.”
