Chapter 301
At his words, everyone’s eyes turned to the man in the suit. He had sharp features, deep amber eyes, and was unbelievably handsome, his smile looking especially sincere.
“Who’s this? someone asked.
Sienna’s brows knitted when she saw it was Thorn. ‘Ugh, my hands are itching to punch him,’ she thought.
Thorn immediately stepped forward. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Bayer. I’m Sienna’s brother from overseas. She used to live with my family
He kept his voice low, so only Sienna and a few others could hear.
“Siema, who-“Albert murmured.
Seeing their puzzled faces, Sienna stepped up to explain, “Grandpa, Grandma, his name is Thorn Noir. His family saved me after the plane crash
“Oh, I see, they replied.
After hearing Sienna’s explanation, they finally felt sure Thorn was telling the truth. “Good boy, if it weren’t for you, our granddaughter wouldn’t have made it back home.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Bayer, you really don’t have to thank me. Sienna is my little sister, and it’s only right that I look after her. That’s just what I should do. Thorn said.
“Good,” they replied.
Thorn was a real chatterbox and started sharing all sorts of interesting stories about Sienna’s life overseas, quickly drawing the old couple in. They just loved hearing anything about Sienna
Sienna’s eyes turned icy. Just standing there, she radiated an overwhelming pressure, her bone–chilling presence making it hard for anyone to approach. She fixed her gaze on Thorn.
If Thor dared to say a single wrong word, she’d make him regret it. Luckily, Thorn only talked about some harmless little things.
“Oh Wayne, you’re here too.” Marie called out as soon as she spotted Wayne.
Wayne strolled in and nodded. “Yes, Mrs. Bayer. Long time no see.
“Yes. I heard your grandmother was in the hospital not long ago. Is she doing better now?” Marie said.
“She’s all better now; it was just a minor cold,” Wayne replied.
Wayne looked at Sienna, his eyes gentle yet clearly amazed. She was absolutely gorgeous tonight, and the necklace around her neck made her look even more noble and breathtaking-
“Hi, Sienna” hr uid.
“Wayne, Nora didn’t come?” she asked.
Wayter walked over to her. ‘I was just about to tell you. Ethan took Nora with him. She toldine to let you know not to worry. She’s jinsi

Sienna asked, curiosity in her eyes. Are they getting back together or something? she wondered. No way, there’s no chaner Nora would change her mind that quickly
Wykrad “They’re not getting back together. Nora might seem indecisive sometimes, but when she sets her mind to sungstang, fara stubborn as a mude. Plus, De got my people with her, so don’t worry.”
Sadded “Wayne, Irand you’re planning to bid on the Food family’s building soon?”
Wave passed a ker of disappointment crossing his eyes. “Yeah, the Ford family’s putting their building up for sale. Tm not sure why.

Wayne had already braced himself for this when she asked, but hearing her say it out loud still made his heart ache.
“Forget about paying double. It’s 130 million dollars. If you want it, just take it at the original price,” he said.
Sienna shook her head. “No, you’re letting me have it before the auction just because of our relationship, and that’s not fair to you. 150 million dollars–if that’s okay, it’s mine. If not, I’ll just bid for it myself”
“Alright,” Wayne replied with a bitter smile. ‘She really doesn’t let our relationship get in the way of business, he thought.
Julian had absolutely zero intention of taking over the Ford family. The family’s been going downhill for years, and with Levi running things, it had just been a total disaster.
“Seriously, what the hell has that guy even been up to? Wayne thought
If Julian still had the nerve to go after Sienna like this, there was no way Wayne would ever agree to it–not for any other reason, because Julian was way too weak and completely useless.
but just
“What on earth has he even been doing all these years he was gone? Wayne thought. “It’s not like he was out there building anything up.
If he was, there would’ve been at least some news. If he hadn’t shown up again, I would’ve honestly thought he died somewhere out there.”
Sienna knew Julian had zero interest in dealing w色
ith the Ford family’s mess. He had his own thing going on. Practically half the world’s artifacts were in his collection.
As for money and power, he had more than enough. And with the whole country backing him up, he was untouchable.
His only flaw was that he kept such a low profile that people totally forgot he was once the Ford family’s prodigy, the kid who got lop overseas university at just six years old.
Julian had just gotten out of his car and barely taken a few steps when a woman suddenly stepped in front of him
into a
“Mr. Ford, hi. Do you remember me? I’m Nina Clare. I waited for you for three hours at our last meeting, you know. I can’t believe a man like you would stand me up.
“But it’s fine. I’m three years older than you, so as your big sister, I’ll let it slide. Now, how about we talk about our marriage?” she said with a grin.
