Chapter 58
Sienna said. “Alright, let me know if anything comes up. You may go now. Amber will be apologizing to you‘
Vivian nodded and followed Sienna
Amber glared at Vivian behind Sienna, her eyes flashing with displeasure.
Jocelyn began. “Hey, Sienna, Vivian. Amber and I were just talking about you. Sienna, you just got back, right? You probably don’t know much about Amber yet.
Let me fill you in. By the way, what were you doing abroad? I heard you took over Hart Corporation. Does Dad know about that?”
Jocelyn’s smile never reached her eyes. In a word, it was utterly fake.
Jocelyn, I know my sister better than anyone. I owe you no explanation, Sienna said, her tone cold.
Jocelyn’s smile froze instantly. She looked at Sienna and said, “Sienna, I know you dislike me. You must think my mother came between your parents and took your father away.
“But they’re truly in love. They’ve been together for ten years, and their bond is deep. I do hope we can be family. Don’t you agree?”
Sienna shot her a cold look and warned bluntly, “Don’t make me slap you.”
Jocelyn froze under Sienna’s razor–sharp gaze. An involuntary shiver ran down her spine as primal dread took hold. ‘Bitch, how dare she threaten me, she wondered.
Amber remained silent. Jocelyn shot her a piercing glare, urging her to stand up for her, but Amber just pretended not to notice and kept her
mouth shut.
Jocelyn gave a hollow smile, her jaw clenched as she glared daggers at Amber. “Amber, I know I’ve always been an outsider in your hearts, but the truth is, I genuinely care about you. I really do see you as my sister.”
Amber suddenly snapped back to attention, nodded earnestly, and said, “Don’t you dare bully Jocelyn.”
Amber’s indifferent tone made Jocelyn’s already ashen face contort hideously with rage, transforming into something barely recognizable.
How could she be so indifferent? After all that talk about me being her one and only sister, Jocelyn wondered.
Vivian shot Amber a contemptuous look and retorted, “That’s utterly ridiculous. Did we bully her? She’s blabbering nonsense nonstop. If she doesn’t want to stay here, she can get the hell out.”
Amber took a step forward, her eyes blazing with fury as she squared off against Vivian. Sparks flew between them, the tension crackling in the air.
Jocelyn was still fuming over what Vivian had said earlier, but now, seeing Vivian and Amber about to argue, she was practically giddy with excitement. Forcing back a smirk, she shot a triumphant glance at Sienna.
Sienna didn’t even spare Jocelyn a glance, her expression icy and detached.
Amber’s face flushed crimson with rage as she shouted at Vivian, “This is my home too. How dare you tell me to leave? Didn’t you swear up and down you’d never come back?
“What gives you the right to show your face here again? You’re the most shameless woman I’ve ever seen
Vivian’s throat tightened, and she was at a complete loss for words. She really had said that back when Aiden had slapped her.
Seeing Vivian at a loss for words, Amber lifted her chin proudly. Vivian? I don’t even see her as competition,‘ she thought with disdain.
The two were at daggers drawn, and from the looks of it, their argument was about to escalate. It’d be even better if they came to blows, Jocelyn thought, thrilled to the core.
Jocelyn said with feigned concern, “Amber, don’t fight because of me. I really don’t want to ruin your bond. After all, I’m just an outsider. You and Vivian are the real family, bound by blood.”
Amber snapped back, “Family? With her? Never. Vivian, I will never admit that you are my sister.”
Vivian, refusing to back down, shot back, “Amber, you think I actually care about being family with you? I’d never accept you as my sister. Dream
- on.
