Chapter 34

“My eldest daughter, Sienna Hart Aiden announced, dead serious.

The moment the news broke, the room erupted in chaos Hart Corporation’s old shareholders leaped to their feet, stunned beyond belief. One of them couldn’t hold back, exclaiming. “Siennal You mean your eldest daughter Sienna? They were over the moon to hear that Miss Sienna was still alive and kicking.

to ear. He gave a tight

Alden’s face went rigid. These old–timers had always given him a hard time, but now they were practically grinning from ear to nod. “That’s right. She’s been studying abroad all these years. Now she’s back.”

“Sienna! Never heard of her one skeptic scoffed. “Mr. Hart, you’re not getting played, are you! Your eldest daughter died in that plane crash. No way anyone walked away from that”

“Exactly” Another chimed in. “We can’t just hand the company over to some stranger” “Hart Corporation isn’t some joke. Mr. Hart, think carefully,”

“Even if she’s your daughter, that doesn’t automatically give her a seat at the table. What’s her track record!” another challenged.

“The fact that I’m the largest shareholder of Hart Corporation. A cool, sharp voice cut through the chaos. Before anyone saw her, the words alone sent an icy ripple down every spine in the room.

The door swung open. A statuesque woman strode in, her gold–trimmed black dress catching the light with every measured step. She moved with the regal grace of a monarch commanding attention.

Though Aiden stood a solid six feet tall, her heels brought them nearly nose to nose. The entire room seemed to hold its breath under the weight of her presence.

“Miss Sienna, it really is your someone blurted out, eyes lighting up with surprise and joy

Sienna gave a slight nod. Just then, Reno burst in “Gentlemen, Hart Corporation belongs to Miss Enna. If you don’t believe it, check the files. Mr. Har was only managing it on her behalf.”

Aiden’s face clouded over at that. One of the objectors scoffed, “Who cares if the company’s yours? Mr. Hart has been running Hart Corporation all these years, and now you just waltz in and kick him out? What kind of daughter does that?”

Exactly! Forget whether you’re capable of running this company. What right has a young woman like you got to sit in that chair? another one chimed in.

“We won’t stand for her. Mr. Hart, you’re our only boss. If you don’t come back, we quit Several others jumped in with the threat.

Aiden was touched by their loyalty. But Sienna didn’t bat an eyelid. She already knew these were Linda’s people, cramped into the company over the years but doing nothing useful. She had been trying to figure out how he get rid of them, and now they handed her the perfect chance.

“Fine” Her voice was ice. The objectors smirked, figuring a few threats would intimidate Sienna. But their smugness didn’t last a second.

“Everyone who just said we quit, head straight to HR and hand in your resignations. No negotiating Sienna went on, leaving those objectors sunned. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

Sienna’s sharp gaze cut across the room. “You wanted to quit? Then quit. Those men froze, suddenly realizing she meant every word. Panic set in as they scrambled for excuses.

“Mr. Hart, we’ve been with you for years. Now she’s actually firing us. How can you just stand there? Say something!” they begged Aiden desperately.

He hesitated, then started, “Sienna, they’ve worked at the company for a long time. Maybe you can take that into account”

Reno, meantime, was counting how many of them just quit. “Miss Enna, twelve people in total”

“Go ahead, Ere us. Let’s see how this place keeps running without us. You’ll be begging us to come back.” They were all shouting now, hurling threats like punches

Sienna didn’t even blink. She leaned back in her chair, fingers steepled, her icy gaze sweeping over them. “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Fulning but stuck for words, the twelve stormed out, muttering curses under their breath. They were still dead sure the company would fall apart
