Sienna resents Vanessa’s calm demeanor and better grades, mocking her humble background and insisting that Vanessa will never achieve the success she expects from working in her family’s company. Despite her harsh words, Sienna’s own academic success had once been thanks to Autumn’s patient tutoring.

She packs food to take to Keith, who has been recovering from a fever that has not returned after medication. When Autumn visits Keith, he opens the door looking composed, and she warmly offers him the breakfast she made, showing her caring nature amidst the ongoing tensions between the other characters.
Chapter 211
Sienna was known for her fiery temper and her love of being the center of attention. As the sister of the president of the Carter Group, she was admired and envied by many at school. Her confidence seemed to fill every room she entered, and she thrived on the spotlight.
In contrast, Vanessa preferred to stay under the radar. She never boasted about her family background, choosing instead to blend in quietly with her classmates. Most people assumed she came from an ordinary, unremarkable family, which was exactly why Sienna targeted her relentlessly.
Sienna’s anger was always simmering just beneath the surface, and with no outlet to release it, Vanessa’s straightforward and unbothered demeanor only fueled her fury further. Her chest heaved with frustration as she confronted Vanessa.
“Don’t think you’re better than me just because your grades are higher,” Sienna snapped, her voice sharp with resentment. “You come from a poor family with no connections or money. No matter how well you do in school, you’ll end up working for someone else. I’m different. After graduation, I’ll be working for my family’s company.”
She paused, her eyes flashing with bitter certainty. “That alone is something you’ll never achieve in your entire life. No matter what, you’ll always be the loser.”
What Sienna refused to admit was that her own once-impressive grades had been the result of Autumn’s encouragement and guidance. Whenever she struggled with a subject, Autumn would patiently explain the concepts and show her different ways to apply them. It was nearly impossible not to improve under such dedicated tutoring.
But then Luna entered the picture, and everything changed.
Luna was the complete opposite of Autumn. She never pressured Sienna to study or improve. Instead, she showered her with luxury gifts and treated her to extravagant meals. With Luna, there were no expectations or stress—only indulgence. Eat, shop, relax. That carefree lifestyle was intoxicating.
Slowly, Sienna began to resent Autumn’s strictness. Even her own mother wasn’t as demanding. Why should Autumn control her life so rigidly? She wasn’t a machine programmed to obey every command. Why slave over books when she could enjoy the finer things in life instead? She wasn’t foolish.
Vanessa looked at Sienna with a cool, amused smile and let out a quiet laugh. “Nobody expects you to have good grades, but it’s rare to see someone so useless yet so full of themselves.”
She leaned back slightly, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Is this sour grapes? Jealousy, maybe? Too proud to admit it?”
