“Vivian, trust me on this. Let’s put our money on this one.” Nathan said with confidence.

    Vivian’s expression grew serious. “But thispany’s been losing money for three years in a row. Are you breally /bsure about this?” Nathan picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth, then tossed one into his own. “Need me to break it down for you?”

    Vivian’s eyes sparkled. “Mr. Winslow, go bahead/bb.” /b

    Meanwhile, Alex noticed that Mr. Grant’s mood had been as unpredictable as the weathertely, swinging from sunshine to storm in blink of an eye. One second he was fine, the next he was snapping at people for no reason.

    Is he having a midlife crisis or something? Alex wondered. But he’s not even that old yet, is he?”

    “Mr. bGrant/b, the Quinn family is hosting a party tonight, and Miss Amber might show up, Alex said carefully.

    Hudson sat there with a frosty look, eyes closed, but the moment he heard that, his eyes flew

    “Did I ask you? Where she goes bhas /bnothing to do with me.”

    ореп

    Alex was speechless. Weren’t you the one who told me to check in the f

    first ce? Alex grumbled inwardly.

    “Is Jaxon bgoing /bto be there too?” Hudson asked, his eyes narrowing coldly.

    Alex replied honestly, “Yes.

    With a sharp smack, Alex pped the table and shot to his feet. “Get ready. The Quinn family invited us. If we don’t go, it’ll bmake /bme look pettyb. /b

    “Yes, sir.” Alex was speechless. ‘Mr. bGrant/b, isn’t this all just because of Miss Amber?

    Meanwhile, at the Hart residence, the three sisters ate the meals Julian cooked for them every day. With him being so kind band /bshowing no hostility at all, any little schemes or mischief they might bhave /bhad just melted away.

    Sienna took care of them, but no one ever took care of her.

    “Sienna, I’ve got something to take care of tonight, so I can’t keep youpany,” Julian said as hedled her a bowl of soup.

    “Okay” Sienna replied.

    After dinner, Sienna lounged in the yard, basking in the sun while Lana updated her on thetest happenings at the variouspanies.

    “Miss Enna, one more thing. It’s about bMiss /bVivian. Thepany she and Nathan started is on a pretty good track right now. There are a few bminor /bbhups/bb, /bthough. Should I step in and handle them?” Lana asked.

    bSienna /bwaved her off. “bNo /bneed. If they want to take a shot at it, let them go all out. They should have the bchaner /bto prove themselves”

    “Yes.”

    “How are things going bin /bMeridia? Sienna asked.

    “Everything’s bnormal/b. Thorn came back to the country today,” Lana replied.

    Sienna’s eyes flickered. “Alright. Amber’s heading to the Quinn bfamily /btonight. I won’t be going. Go with her, and have Reno look into Hudson’s background. I want all records bfrom /bthe past few yearsb./b”

    With that, Sienna closed her eyes, bsoaking /bup the bsun/b, her breathing growing calm and steady.

    Sienna had barely closed her eyes when Elisa came rushing in

    “Miss Sienna, Miss Sienna, there’s a woman outside named Paige. She bims /bto been here several times, Elisa bsaid/b, a little bout /bof breath.

    to be your father’s sister and wants to see you. She’s already

    Sienna frowned. “Paige?”

    Yes

    “Let her in.”

    When Paige stepped binto /bthe Hart residence, she was immediately hit with the overwhelming scent of money. Everything was sovish The fish alone probably cost tens of thousands, and even the flowers were rare, expensive varieties.

    She thought. Those clueless idiots who’ve been ignoring me for so long? I’m going to bmake /bsure Sienna really puts them in their ce. ‘Especially the ones at herpany who even had the nerve to treat bme /blike a con artist and throw me out.

    ‘Fire them all.

    “You wanted to see me?” A cool, distant voice rang out

    Paige spun around band /bsaw a woman in white reclining on a lounge chair.

    Paig

    ‘She’s gorgeous. Even more beautiful than Selina was back in her prime, Paige thought.

    Sienna opened her eyes, and the sharp, icy look she gave was like a de, making Paige’s heart skip ba /bbeat in fear

    Paige gulped, bpanic /bflickering in her beyes/bb. /b

    “Sienna, I’m your aunt, Paige announced.

    Sienna closed her eyes. “Why are you here?”

    Despite her nerves, Paige pushed forward. She had to look out for herself, and honestly, she was actually here to help Sienna out,

    “bI’m /ba little strapped for cash right now, so why bdon’t /byou lend me some money? I know Hart Corporation is loadedb, /band I’m not asking for much. Just thirty million,

    bSet /b

    “And hey, bit’s /bnot for nothing. I’ll even s

    you up with a guy. He’s a manager at SIE Corporation, one of the bigpanies, Paige said.
