Chapter 291
Kress instantly blew up again, pointing at her. “Winifred, you’re so rude. I’m your master now. Got it?”
Winifred didn’t even spare Kress a glance. She thought, “Master? Let’s see if you
‘re even qualified to be my master.
“Sienna, there’s a dinner party tonight. You’re going, right?” Thorn leaned in close to Sienna with a cheeky grin.
Thorn had done his homework and knew Hart Corporation was supposed to attend, so he’d come over specifically to be her plus one.
Sienna got goosebumps when she heard his tone. Ugh, that nickname gives me the creeps, she thought
“No, Vivian’s already gone,” said Sienna.
Thorn looked a bit disappointed. “Well, are you heading out later? I could tag along”
“No.” Sienna’s tone was cold.
Josef had come over just to let Sienna know that his grandpa’s birthday party was in three days. After passing on the message, he picked up the gift Sienna had prepared and left in high spirits.
Kress talked a lot, and finally, Winifred agreed to be his student.
None of them stayed for dinner except Thorn. Amber glanced at the guy next to her, who was wolfing down his food, and couldn’t help but feel a bit put off. ‘Can’t he eat with a bit more manners? she thought
Thorn looked so rude when he was eating.
“Sienna, can I stay over at your place tonight?” Thom asked, pushing his luck.
Noticing the possessive, almost predatory look in his eyes, Winifred frowned.
Sienna answered flatly, “No”

the street
The day of the SATs finally rolled around.
Sienna put Amber’s hair up in a bun and checked her backpack. “Alright, don’t stress too much.
Amber nodded obediently and took a big bite of her egg. “Sienna, I’m going to get perfect score in every subject.”
“I believe in you.”Sienna nodded.
Meanwhile, Hudson was sprawled out on the couch, bored out of his mind, scrolling through his phone.
Suddenly, he sat up and accidentally knocked a book off the table. As it hit the floor, an SAT admission slip slid out from between the pages.
Hudson’s eyes
res went wide as he picked it up. It was Amber’s SAT admission slip How did this end up here?‘ he wondered. Then it clicked. He’d bumped into Amber on the street a few days ago. He’d thought it would be funny to tease her, but she’d smacked him on the head with her book instead.
Then berfamily’s driver had shown up, and she’d just left the book behind.
Hodson glanced at the date on the slip. Seriously? Are the SATs today? Just her luck, he wondered.
Alex was startled when he saw Hudson dash out of the office in a panic. “Mr. Grant, where are you rushing off to?”
“Don’t ask, and just drive. We need to get to the school now,” Hudson barked.
Hudson slammed on the gas, and Alex felt like his soul was about to fly out of his body. He clung to the seatbelt for dear life. “Mr. Grant,
