Chapter 84
Jocelyn glared at Sienna and snapped, “Sienna, how dare you be so brazen? Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose you and turn you into an unfilial daughter everyone despises and wants nothing to do with?”
Jocelyn’s face twisted with malice, like a vicious demon. The sight sent a chill down Amber’s spine. She suddenly realized she was secing a side of Jocelyn completely different from the person she’d always imagined.
Aimber staggered back, her pupils dilating with stunned disbelief.
Linda had been slapped into terrified silence.
Jocelyn glared venomously at Sienna, searching for even a trace of fear or panic on her face.
To her surprise, Sienna simply scoffed and said coolly, “Go ahead and try.”
Jocelyn ground out through clenched teeth, “Sienna—”
Sienna commanded icily, “Security, escort them out.”
Linda, seeing they were about to be thrown out, went hysterical. She shrieked, “What do you think you’re doing? I’m the mistress of the Hart family. How dare you treat me like this? Sienna, you can’t do this to me. I’m your stepmother.”
Jocelyn clung to Amber’s hand, her voice trembling. “Amber, I can’t bear to leave you. It would break my heart to be apart from you.”
Amber stood frozen, finally realizing that no one could threaten Sienna, not even their father. In Sienna’s eyes, a father could simply stop being a father.
Just a few words from Sienna, and the authority from her dad, which Amber had always been so afraid of, was crushed.
Even Linda didn’t have the chance to make things difficult for Sienna anymore.
“This house has no place for us anymore. Sienna is ruthless. She sent Dad to a psychiatric facility today, and tomorrow it could be you. Do you really feel safe here?
“Amber, let’s go. Out there, we can still be happy, live however we want, and no one will ever hurt us. Just like before, I’ll always protect you. Won’t you come?”
Amber thought she really should’ve just said yes to Jocelyn right away. Ever since she was a child, she had always trailed after Jocelyn like a shadow.
Amber waited for several minutes, and Sienna said nothing. Amber thought she would ask her to stay, but she didn’t. Sienna didn’t even spare me a single glance.
