Chapter 70
Amber cursed Vivian’s behavior inwardly, yet rouldn’t shake off a twinge of jealousy. Her feet seemed rooted to the spot, immable to move an inch
Seeing Sienna actually nod in agreement, Amber stamped her foot angrily and stormed back to her room.
‘She can’t even handle a tiny challenge,‘ Amber thought with a scoff. ‘Can’t Sienna see she’s just faking it? Vivian is such a shameless, despicable snake, a complete and utter snake.
fists as if she
Clutching the stuffed toy tightly, Amber frantically pounded it with clenched fists as if she were taking out all her anger on Vivian.
Upon noticing Amber was no longer by the door, Vivian’s lips curled into a triumphant smirk.
“Sienna, I’ll go take my medicine first. If you’re tired, you should get some rest,” said Vivian.
Sienna nodded.
Linda and Jocelyn huddled together in the bedroom.
Linda complained, “Jocelyn, what are we going to do? Sienna actually got caregivers to look after your father, and now he yelled at me and didn’t
even want to see me.”
Tears streaming down her face, Linda dabbed at her eyes, her shoulders trembling with sobs. Her heart was about to break.
Ever since Sienna came back, Linda couldn’t eat well or enjoy anything and had to endure humiliation at every turn.
For ten years, she had lived in the lap of luxury and been pampered and admired. She had never suffered such indignity.
Jocelyn’s eyes burned with seething hatred. ‘Nothing must change, she vowed inwardly. “The Hart family will remain under our control.
“Don’t worry. Sienna’s good days are about to come to an end,” Jocelyn sneered venomously.
‘Once the company hits trouble, let’s see if she can still keep her cool. I’d love to see what she’s really capable of, she wondered.
The next day, as soon as Amber arrived at school, she immediately sensed that people were looking at her differently. To her surprise, even top students from Class I came forward and apologized to her publicly
Mia was also a top student from Class 1, yet she constantly made trips to Class 10 all because of Amber.
As soon as class ended, Mia rushed over to Amber, pulling her into a corner. Guilt written all over her face, she pleaded, “Amber, what happened yesterday was all my fault. Just hit me once, otherwise, I really won’t feel right.”
Seeing Mia grab her hand, Amber quickly yanked her hand back.
Amber gently pulled her hand back and said, “Mia, what’s this about? I told you. It’s not your fault. Really, it’s not. Stop beating yourself up over it.”
Mia smiled and asked, “Amber, was that lady yesterday really your sister? Isn’t Jocelyn your sister?”
Mia, of course, knew about Jocelyn and Amber’s relationship. Amber nodded and said, “Yeah, Jocelyn isn’t my sister.”
“Wow. Your sister must be amazing, right? I’d love to meet her. Amber, could you introduce me to her next time? She’s so beautiful and has such elegant grace,” Mia said.
Mia’s admiring gaze made Amber’s heart flutter with excitement. The thought of Sienna being her sister instantly filled her with pride.
“Let’s talk about it another time, Mia,” Amber said.

Honestly, it was not like Sienna and Amber were that close yet. Besides, Amber still remembered how Sienna hit her because of Vivian.
And last night, Amber was angry that Sienna actually let Vivian share her bed.
‘Such a weak–willed woman, Amber sneered to herself. ‘She’s still in the middle of my test, anyway.
Mia’s eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “How about today then? After school, ask her to pick you up, and we can all grab dinner together. What do you say?”
“Sorry, she’s swamped right now.” Amber made up an excuse. She didn’t even have Sienna’s contact info; they’d only just met.
Mia looked crestfallen. “Okay,” she murmured, exchanged a few words, then headed back to her own class.
Just as Amber was about to leave, she found Claire blocking her way, arms crossed, leaning casually against the doorframe.

Chapter 70.
Just thinking about how Claire deliberately approached Sienna at the hospital yesterday made Amber want to ignore her completely.
Amber walked right past Claire without so much as a glance.
Claire sneered. “Amber, I never thought you’d be this stupid. How could Sienna have a sister like you‘
