Chapter 372
Hearing that, Thorn’s head snapped up, only to spot a big, bold “250” slapped right on his hospital bed
He instantly flew into a rage.
“Fay!”
After visiting the Umbrella Organization, Winifred left with a clear goal in mind: she was determined to build a power base of her own.
Fay stood at the door, watching
ng Winifred leave. She was struck by just how much Winifred resembled the former head.
“Maybe it’s because they’re real sisters, Fay thought.
After putting an end to the Noir family’s affairs, Sienna flew straight back to her home country. Lately, she’d been feeling strangely drained, as if she just couldn’t shake off the exhaustion.
Just as she was about to rub the spot between her brows, Julian gently cupped her head and began to massage her temples.
“You haven’t had much of an appetite lately. Once we’re home. I’ll cook a few dishes for you,” he said softly.
His gentle voice drifted to her ears.
Sienna nodded, meeting his gaze. “Have you wrapped up all your business!”
Julian replied. “Everything’s settled. The last batch of relics has already been shipped back home. They asked if they could borrow a few antiques to put on display at the museum for the national friendship event next month. What do you think? Should I agree?”
Sienna chuckled. “It’s your stuff, why are you asking me?”
Fay’s fingers pressed precisely on the acupoint at the top of her head.
“I’ve already put everything under your name, Mrs. Ford. Of course I should ask you?” he said.
Sienna’s heart skipped a beat. She had to admit, she was hit hard by that.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll just run away with your entire fortune? Sienna teased.
Julian leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “If you can carry it all away, you can take as much murmured.
as you want,” he
Julian, you’ve been acting a little weird lately. You’re not scheming something, are you?” She tilted her head, giving him a curious look.
“I wouldn’t dare. Julian replied with a playful grin.
Sienna tapped his forehead. “You’d better not.”
Julian gently laced his fingers with hers.
When Sienna got home, Amber was the happiest she’d gotten in!
She had won their bet.
Time had flown by, and now school was about to start.
Amber stood outside the airport, practically buzzing with excitement, while Vivian looked a little down, her whole vibe radiating a kind of listless gloom.
“What are you doing here?”
Amber and Jaxon were deep in some online gossip when they looked up and found themselves face–to–face with Hudson, his sunglasses hiding his eyes.
Hudson shouldered his way between them, his voice cold. Tm here to pick up Sienna. What’s it to you?”

“You!” Amber was at a loss for words, glaring at him in frustration
‘So annoying!‘ she thought.
“Hey, kid, move over. You’re blocking my view,” Hudson said irritably to Jaxon.
Jaxon frowned. ‘Wasn’t I already standing far enough away?‘ he thought.
Amber grabbed his hand. “Come on, Jaxon, let’s stand over here. No need to hang around with that weirdo.
When Hudson saw their hands clasped together, his gaze grew cold and stormy. He gritted his teeth, jealousy flickering in his eyes.
Clenching his fists, Hudson stormed over to her, “Who are you
you calling a weirdo?”
He pinched Amber’s cheeks between his fingers, squeezing just enough to make her face puff up.
“Mmph, Hudson… Hudson, let go of me, you jerk,” Amber mumbled, trying to push him away.
She reached out to slap him, but it was like her strength didn’t even register.
Jaxon’s eyes flashed with annoyance. “Mr. Grant, please let her go
At that, Hudson paused and shot him a look of utter disdain.
He scoffed, “And who do you think you are? Still wet behind the ears,
kid‘
“Your” Jaxon’s eyes went wide, totally stunned that Hudson would say something so insulting. His face turned red with a mix of anger and embarrassment.
