Sienna’s words were a slap in the face. Aiden and Madam Hart flushed with fury.
“You brat, you take that back.” Madam Hart shrieked.
Sienna just laughed, leading Vivian to the sofa and sitting down gracefully.
“Are you deaf or something?” Madam Hart was so angry she was hyperventilating, clutching her chest.
Seeing his mother in distress, Aiden roared, “Sienna, Vivian, just say you’re so
This is your grandmother.
Linda patted Madam Hart’s back, her tone a mixture of feigned concern and exasperation. “You don’t understand. Your grandmother’s health has been poor for years. You really shouldn’t upset her. Just apologize, and we can all move past this.”
Sienna didn’t answer. She calmly poured a glass of water, ignoring Linda as if
she were air.
Linda’s face tightened, her jaw clenching. She knew Sienna was going to be a problem. She couldn’t let her stay and threaten her own position.
“You’re going too far!” Aiden bellowed.
Sienna simply smiled. Her eyes, cool and proud, held no emotion, but her aura was so powerful, her gaze so sharp, that a single glance could make a person’s blood run cold.

When Aiden met her eyes, he felt a chill creep up his spine. For a moment, he saw Selina again, the one who had ruled his world. He swallowed hard, a flicker of panic in his heart.
“Father,” Sienna said, her voice dangerously soft, “I’m still regarding you as my family out of respect for our shared surname. But if you push me further one more time, we can sever our ties right now.”
She watched Aiden’s expression, then continued. “Disown me, and you get nothing. The house, the cars, the company, the assets—all mine. I can have the assets legally verified right now and ensure you don’t get a single penny. I was kind enough to let you play master here, but you’ve clearly forgotten who really is.”
Aiden was speechless with rage. But she was right. If they cut ties, he would be an outsider with no claim to anything.
“You’re just like your mother!” Madam Hart pointed a trembling finger at Sienna. “A pair of vixens, both of you! Your mother died young because she deserved it!”
Splash! Sienna poured the water directly into Madam Hart’s face. She shrieked in shock. Even Linda was taken aback. She didn’t expect Sienna to be so ruthless.
“You still don’t know your place,” Sienna said, rising slowly. “If you’d kept quiet, I might’ve, out of pity, called you ‘Grandma‘ and let you live out your days in comfort. But you chose to test me. From now on, you won’t see another cent of the Hart family’s money.”
