“Because of that, they became extremely wary of the Bayers. Ms. Amber Hart, under Jocelyn Turner’s instigation, even stabbed Mrs. Marie Bayer- she almost didn’t make it, and Mr. Albert Bayer was so shaken he nearly collapsed. And then there’s…”
Sienna tapped her slender fingers on the table. “Keep going.”
“Aiden Hart went so far as to spread rumors that the Bayer family was behind your mother’s death, which completely tore the two families apart. I also found out that he has made several moves against the Bayers over the years,” Reno continued.
The files showed that Aiden really hated the Bayer family–he truly believed they were the ones who caused Selina’s death.
Sienna remembered all too well how much Aiden resented the Bayers ten years ago. Back then, he loved Selina deeply, and after she was gone, he nearly fell apart. ‘But there’s no point digging up the past now, Sienna thought to herself.
“And one more thing, Miss Enna–Mr. Calvin Bayer has been unable to walk since a car accident five years ago. As for Jacob Bayer, he suffered a traumatic event over a decade ago and lost his mind… he’s been in a psychiatric hospital ever since,” Reno added.
Sienna didn’t even know how to put her feelings into words. She had almost no memories of the Bayer family–what she did remember was just how utterly her mother had loathed them.
She and her sisters had never been allowed to have any contact with the Bayer family.
The Bayer family stood at the very top of the Four Great Families of Vallaris and was known as the most mysterious clan in the city. Nearly eighty percent of their members were involved in politics, and every ancestor was a figure of great renown. Albert Bayer himself was even a founding father of the nation.
But in recent years, the Bayer family’s business had fallen on hard times. The prestige earned by the older generation was now a and all their hopes rested on the new blood of the younger generation.
thing of the past,
Back then, Calvin hadn’t gone into politics, but he was a legend in the business world. ‘How did he end up crippled… Sienna couldn’t help but sigh. ‘Fate really does mess with people.
But what Sienna found even harder to believe was Jacob Bayer. He had a stellar military record, and at such a young age, unmatched. ‘How could someone like him… just go insane?‘ Sienna was honestly at a loss for words.
“Understood. You may leave,” Sienna said.

“Yes, Miss Enna. Oh, and one more thing–Mr. Noir has been trying to reach you several times, but couldn’t get through. come find you himself,” Reno added.
Now he’s threatening to
A flicker of murderous intent flashed in Sienna’s eyes, but her voice stayed utterly unruffled. “If he comes, just kill him. “Understood, Reno replied, swallowing hard. ‘Blood really does make all the difference, she thought to herself.
As soon as Amber stepped out of the car, Jocelyn rushed over to her. “Amber, I’ve missed you
The bodyguards quickly stepped in, blocking her from getting anywhere near Amber.
“Amber, it’s me! I’m your sis! Come here, let me take a look at you,” Jocelyn called out.
so much!
Amber instinctively stepped back, and a flash of hatred flickered in Jocelyn’s eyes, ‘What an ungrateful little brat, Jocelyn seethed. ‘I’m drowning in misery, and she’s out here enjoying her life without a care in the world.’
Over the past few days, Amber had finally figured out who truly cared about her. Getting along with Claire the right way, sneaking peeks at novels and TV shows together–all of it made one thing crystal clear–Jocelyn was no good.
All that so–called “kindness” before was never real–it was all part of her plan to ruin Amber, to keep her weak and under control, even messing with her head.
“What are you doing here?” Amber shot back, her voice cold as ice,

Amber instinctively jumped in fright, her face turning a little pale, Claire strode over and quickly put herself in front of Amber, shielding her protectively.
