“Very nice.” Donald’s demeanor remained as usual, without any overstepping. “It suits you well.”
Sienna glanced down at her swaying skirt hem. She was still somewhat hesitant. “Are you sure you want me to be your companion?”
Although she had often attended parties before, her status at that time could hardly compare to
now.
Back then, everyone treated her politely, both because she was the young lady of the Mckinney
family and because she was Mrs. Olson.
Sienna had experienced the feeling of being high above, and although she was not arrogant or contemptuous of others, the ups and downs still made her uncomfortable.
Overnight, she experienced the warmth and cold of the world and saw many things clearly.
Now that Donald was willing to help her, she didn’t want to cause any trouble for him and tried to
distance herself from any connection she could.
Last time, she reluctantly had Donald as her escort to a banquet, but this time was different.
“You don’t need to worry.” Donald reassured Sienna with a smile. “I know what I’m saying, and besides, your situation won’t cause any harm to Read Law.”
If some boring news could cause trouble for Read Law, they would be too fragile to withstand any
storm.
Adrian placed Sienna’s hand on his arm and whispered, “Just attend the event with me confidently. You haven’t done anything wrong, and there’s no need to be afraid or timid. Stand tall and face
everything.”
Adrian didn’t want her to be immersed in pain, unable to extricate herself. Some things had to be
faced sooner or later.
Even if it felt painful and the process was difficult, one had to stay strong and move forward.
The moment of rebirth was always accompanied by pain. Donald wanted to see Sienna transform and become the Mckinney family’s young lady again. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Donald entered the venue with her, and as expected, it caused a stir.
“Isn’t that Sienna? I heard that after the Mckinney family fell. Adrian didn’t care for her anymore, and she actually became an assistant.”
“No way, a young lady becoming an assistant? She’s actually showing her face here. If it were me, I would just hide at home and not go out!”

“What assistant? Isn’t she a sugar baby? Who else’s assistant has their own office and can attend parties with their boss?”
The gossip was extremely unpleasant. Sienna pursed her lips, trying her best to ignore it.
“It’s okay,” Donald whispered calmly, “Control your expression. You can do it.”
That was right. Why should Sienna care about those criticisms? Did these people, who only knew how to wag their tongues, understand her suffering over the years?
They talked without knowing her pain and still spread rumors and slandered her.
However, let them be. Just because Sienna couldn’t fight back now did not mean she wouldn’t in the
future.
Sooner or later, she would show them the day the Mckinney family stood up again.
“Sienna?”
A surprised voice came from behind. Janice, who they had encountered in the luxury custom store, appeared here as well.
However, Adrian was not with her, and she seemed to have come alone.
Full of envy, Janice sized Sienna up, growing more and more displeased.
Both of them had dresses made in the same luxury custom store, but Janice didn’t have Sienna’s enviable figure.
Sienna’s curves were well-defined, and her bright red lips, coupled with wavy curls, gave her at
classic vibe.
As people criticized Sienna, they also discussed her attire.
After all, she was once the favored daughter of heaven. Even though she had fallen on hard times, her charm remained undiminished, and even seemed to be increasing.
“Sienna, this must be Mr. Read, right?”
It took Janice several glances to reluctantly tear her attention away, smiling at Donald beside her. “I heard Sienna works at Mr. Read’s law firm. Isn’t it too hard for her?”
A pampered young lady going to work was something Janice had never heard of.
Only Sienna could take pride in this, not caring about the opinions of others.
“Earning a living with one’s own hands,” Donald replied with a leisurely smile, “I think it’s worth it
even if it’s difficult.”
“Relying on others for support, that money is never truly secure, don’t you think so, Ms. Potter?”
Donald knew the complicated relationship among Adrian, Janice and Sienna. Donald’s words cut like a knife without a trace.
Janice paused for a moment and then laughed awkwardly, playing with her hair. “Whether it’s secure depends on oneself. Adrian is good to me, and I have to accept it. I can’t let his kindness go to
waste.”
Janice was not like Sienna.
Janice had worked hard to stay by Adrian’s side after years of unrequited love and even had him. hurt Sienna for her, ambitiously hoping to become Mrs. Olson
“Mr. Read…”
Sienna glanced at Donald beside her, not wanting him to be drawn into the conflict because of her.
Adrian already had enough hatred toward her. If she provoked Janice here, the situation would only
get worse.
She didn’t care how she was treated, but she couldn’t let Donald, who had always been helping her,
suffer as well.
Donald patted her hand, signaling her not to worry. He continued speaking to Janice, “Well, there’s one thing Ms. Potter should not forget.”
“My client, Sienna, and Adrian are still legally married, so half of the property you’re living in belongs to my client.”
“If Sienna doesn’t want you there, she can kick you out at any time. It’s her right.”
Janice was dumbfounded. What did Donald mean? Janice needed Sienna’s permission to stay at the
Olson manor? What a joke!
“That’s Adrian’s house. Why should she have a say?”
Janice’s rebuttal lacked confidence, but she knew Donald had a point.
“If it’s Adrian’s house, why has Ms. Potter been living there long-term?”
Donald casually looked at Janice, skillfully responding, “If you have an inappropriate relationship
with Adrian, he would be the one at fault in this marriage.”
“In a divorce case, the one at fault must pay the price for their actions. In other words, my client would receive more of the property.”
Give the Olson family’s money to Sienna?
Janice became anxious upon hearing this. That was Adrian’s money, and her own as well.
She would rather give it to a homeless man than let Sienna take a single cent.
Sienna’s existence only angered Janice. Janice’s only thought was to drive Sienna away.
“I… Adrian and I…”
Janice tried to explain but stuttered, unable to form a complete sentence.
Donald, no longer interested in the back-and-forth, left with Sienna. “Ms. Potter, you better think
it through and make your plans. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“Everything you have now will eventually disappear.”
