Sienna’s expression darkened. “What happened”
Lana lowered her head, anxiety written all over her face. “Miss Enna. Miss Winifred was taken about ten minutes ago. Reno’s looking into it, but the other side is being extremely cautious. They’re throwing out fake trails to confuse us, 50.
Sienna’s voice turned cold. “Find her. I don’t care what it takes–bring her hack. I want the other side to pay the price.”
Yes. Miss Enna Lana nodded.
The blue glow from the screen illuminated Reno’s face as she curled up on the cushioned window seat, her fingers moving swiftly over the mechanical keyboard. The crisp “clicks” of the keys echoed urgently, like raindrops tapping on glass
A notification chimed. Reno glanced at her phone. It was a message from Lana, checking on her progress
When she didn’t reply. Lana called her. Reno tapped the phone to answer. “Sorry, I still need a bit more time. Give me ten more minutes.”
“Alright, but hurry up” Lana urged. “Miss Enna is about to go look for her herself”
“Got it” Reno replied coolly.
Senna told Vivian and Amber to rest while she went out to handle something Amber looked a little upset.
Sienna ruffled Amber’s hair gently. Tve already asked Ebert to get you a few new phones. Pick whichever one you like. Did you break your old one by accident“”
Amber huffed, recounting what had happened. “That woman was clearly trosible. She threatened the students with a knife. They were terrified, and she was enjoying it. If Claire hadn’t stopped me, I would’ve taught her a lesson”
Sienna’s voice was calm but firm. “Claire did the right thing. The other person had a knife. No matter how urgent the situation, you can’t throw. yourself into danger without thinking about your own safety”
Amber instinctively argued, “But I couldn’t just stand by and watch them get bullied. Am I supposed to do nothing?”
Sienna patiently explained, “Well, helping others is a good thing, but only if you can ensure your own safety first. If you put yourself at risk to save someone and get hurt, what do you expect us to do?
“Are you willing to pay the price for your impulsiveness, even if it means risking your life?”
Amber’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t thought of the consequences. If she had gotten hurt, or worse, if she had died, she would never see Sienna apain. Amber didn’t want that.
Just as Arriber was about to apologize, Sienna continued, “I’m not saying you shouldn’t help others in the future. I’m just saying you need to make sure you’re safe first.”
Amber nodded quickly. Tunderstand. I won’t act impulsively anymore”
Sienna pulled the blanket up around her. “Good Now, go to sleep. You have school tomorrow. And remember, you can’t label someone as bad
“Maybe the students on the ground were at fault, or maybe that girl was bullying others. We can’t jump to conclusions. You need to understand the situation before you judge. Don’t just follow what others say–think for yourself.”
Amber nodded, taking
After closing the door. Sienna told Vivian that Winifred might be in trouble and that she was going to look for her.
can grabbed her hated as she was about to leave. “Sienna, be careful”
Okay” Sienna replied
In the rod Vivun never told Sienna what was on her mind because Vivian wasn’t sure herself. After all, sl
she hadn’t seen Winifred in so many years
Of all the people in ber life, Vivian was least close to Winifred. From a young age, Winifred had always been strange–catching bugs for fun, never
smiling, always cold and eerie,
Once, when Vivian went to see her. Winifred suddenly draped a snake around her neck, nearly scaring her to death.
After Aiden brought Linda and Jocelyn into the house, Winifred got even weirder She started putting bugs into Linda and Jocelyn’s clothes and food, just to mess with them
She’d walk around with a snake every day to freak people out. The worst incident was when she scared Linda and Jocelyn so much, they actually
Winifred even put poisonous snakes and bugs in Aiden’s bed and room. Alden couldn’t take it anymore and had her sent off to boarding school, forbidding her to return. After that, Vivian never saw Winifred again.
Sienna got into the car, and Reno had already found out everything about Winifred’s situation. Just as Lana was about to drive off Ryan Lowell ran up. He was desperate, not knowing what to do, and came to the Hart residence for help.
Miss Sienna, I’m a friend of Winifred’s. She was just taken. Please, you have to save her,” Ryan pleaded urgently.
Sienna glanced at Ryan, recognizing him as the boy who was always by Winifred’s side “I know. Rest assured, I’ll bring her back. You should go home.” Sienna replied coldly, her tone making Ryan shudder
As the car window rolled up. Reno began briefing Sienna on everything she had uncovered about Winifred.
