A split second later, Natalie suddenly slapped Sienna again.Sienna clutched her cheek, her eyes burning with rage. "Natalie, you fucking—"Natalie didn't let her finish. "Mrs. Spencer, Sienna was glaring at me. It scared me. That was just a reflex, completely unintentional."Daphne looked about two seconds from ripping Natalie apart. How dare she treat Sienna like that right under her nose?Fury twisted her features.Just then, Natalie changed the subject. "Didn't you say dinner was ready? Let's eat."The mood shifted instantly. Daphne and Sienna exchanged a glance, swallowing their anger.Especially Daphne, who forced what she thought looked like a natural smile. "Yeah, of course. Let's eat first. We can talk while we eat."Natalie shot them a glance and walked ahead to the dining room.Sienna trailed behind, clutching her stinging cheek, her eyes burning with fury. "Mom, I swear I'll make her pay for this."Daphne soothed her. "Yeah, of course. Once we've got the video to

Patrick had no intention of humoring Sienna. He shoved her hard, sending her crashing to the floor. "Get the hell away from me. A slut like you is only good for a quickie. Don't ever contact me again."He spat on the floor, fastening his belt as he walked out.Now, only Xavier and Sienna were left in the room.Frantic, she scrambled up from the floor and pleaded. "Please, Xavier, you have to believe me! That man means nothing to me. He ripped my clothes off, but nothing happened. I swear!"Xavier had long found Sienna repulsive. The only reason he'd stayed married three months ago was because she was pregnant with his child.But even then, he never thought she'd sink to something this shameless out of desperation.Xavier flung her to the ground, his face twisted in disgust."You were never pregnant, were you, Sienna? It was all a lie. You're such a fucking bitch. I must've been out of my mind, throwing away a jewel just to marry trash like you."Tears streaked Sienna's face. His

Rowan casually slid one of his business cards into Natalie's bag as he said his words.Still dazed, Natalie took a moment before responding, "Mr. Mattel, I'm sure losing one jacket wouldn't exactly break the bank for you."They sat so close that the rhythm of each other's breathing was almost audible.Rowan held her gaze, a faint, barely-there smirk in his eyes. "Money doesn't grow on trees. Spend where it counts and save where you can."Natalie's eyes widened as she drew in a sharp breath. Was he even listening to himself right now?A moment later, Rowan's cheeks tinged faintly pink. He casually adjusted the suit jacket draped over her shoulders without meeting her eyes.Noticing his odd reaction, Natalie glanced down and realized one of her blouse buttons had come undone. Her hands immediately flew up to fix it.She was hit with a wave of embarrassment, awkwardness, and irritation. He'd obviously seen it. That was why he'd acted that way.Natalie stared rigidly at the floorbo

After everything was over, Sienna returned to her car and found her phone on the passenger seat. When she opened it, the screen displayed the message she'd sent Patrick—the one with the hotel room number.That bitch Natalie must've seen it. That was how she knew the exact room and told Xavier.Natalie deserved to fucking die.Daphne's heart ached for Sienna, but a deeper fear settled in. "Sienna, revenge against Natalie can wait. Right now, the real issue is Xavier. How are you going to explain this to him? He saw you with that man in that state. Even if I believe nothing happened, Xavier never will."And now that he knows you were never pregnant, he'll divorce you for sure. Spencer Group can't afford even the slightest scandal right now."Sienna knew exactly how bad things were. She'd tried calling Xavier on her way back, but he'd blocked her on everything. She couldn't even get through to him.Feeling frustrated and on edge, all she wanted was to quiet her mind. "Mom, I really

Three years ago, Kevin went home after his extra class as usual. He was halfway home when the rain started pouring. Since he didn't bring an umbrella, he quickened his pace and ran back home.Somewhere not too far from the junction of Lumier Street and Wisdom Avenue, he witnessed a car accident. A woman had been hit by a car and was lying in a pool of blood. The driver hurriedly got out of the car to check on her, but Kevin remembered clearly that the driver was a woman. Not long after that, a young man rushed over. Although everything was barely visible at that time, Kevin could still see the man's face when he walked under the street light. However, he later saw from the news that the person who had turned himself in was a middle-aged man. How could that be? He had clearly seen that the driver was a woman.He was terrified, thinking that the person had to be someone significant if they could get another person to be their scapegoat. If they were to find out that he was the wi
