After the Divorce, I Took Revenge on My Ex-husband By Emma Scott

Chapter 45 Danger Is Nearby

Sienna insisted on this, leaving Donald with no other choice.

There were some things he could only suggest, not force, since it was Sienna’s life. He would support het as much as possible, but he wouldn’t interfere.

News of Sienna accompanying Donald to the party spread quickly in the office, leading to much gossip. Naturally, Mona was very jealous of it.

In the past, Donald would ask Mona to accompany him to such events just to keep up appearances.

Although such opportunities were rare, Mona treasured them and never dared to slack off. Each

time, she would dress up to avoid embarrassing Donald.

After all, Adrian was a visual person, and everyone wanted their partner to be attractive, drawing attention and becoming the focus of the event.

In Mona’s eyes, even someone as outstanding as Donald couldn’t escape this.

She tried her best to stay close to Donald, giving her all in both work and personal life.

But her efforts didn’t leave a deep impression on him. Sienna’s appearance took the place that

should have belonged to Mona.

Losing one or two invitations was unbearable for Mona.

Sienna focused on her work, not noticing Mona’s burning gaze, as if it could pierce her.

Sometimes, danger was close by but hard to detect. Sienna indeed overlooked this point, leading to her being sabotaged.

“Sienna,” Mona bit her lip, brought a pile of documents to her office. “These files need to be scanned and sent to the clients. I’ve organized the details in a table, Follow the instructions.”

Sienna was slightly surprised at Mona’s unusual thoughtfulness but didn’t question it.

Perhaps it was just a whim. Sienna didn’t need to investigate further and embarrass herself.

Mona left after dropping off the documents. Sienna began reviewing the table.

The list was filled with company names. She had to send the scanned files to the corresponding

email addresses. It was a tedious and meticulous task.

This work seemed trivial but couldn’t be taken lightly. These documents contained each company’s confidential information, and leaking them could have dire consequences.

Without Donald’s connections, Sienna, a new assistant, wouldn’t have been allowed to handle these

files.

Checking the time, Sienna started working on the task.

She removed the staples, scanned the files, renamed them with the corresponding company names,

and sent them to the clients’ email addresses.

The process wasn’t complicated, but it was very tedious.

Sienna patiently completed the task without complaint, doing her best on even the smallest details.

Mona had given her a large number of files, and Sienna worked all night to finish them.

Around midnight, Ellen called, concerned about Sienna’s well-being. “Sienna, why not do this tomorrow? It’s already 1 a.m., and you haven’t eaten. What if you starve your stomach?”

Sienna had been hospitalized for stomach pain before, so Ellen worried it might happen again.

Ellen genuinely hoped Sienna could move on from her dark past and become the radiant, confident

Sienna she once was.

“I’m fine. You should rest early.”

Sienna took a bite of bread from her drawer, swallowed it with hot water, not caring about the taste.

She knew she was overworking herself, but she had no other choice.

Success had no shortcuts. To reach the top quickly, she had to work a hundred times harder than

others.

She would pay back the pain Adrian and Janice caused her, which was why Sienna studied and worked tirelessly.

Sienna was like a sponge, absorbing knowledge and experience, unwilling to let go of any useful

information.

Though Sienna had been worked all night, she was in high spirits. Apart from some fatigue, she felt

fine.

She went downstairs to grab a steaming hot breakfast and deliberately ordered a cup of coffee to perk herself up.

Mona called her to pick up a package on the way, even though Sienna knew it was out of the way,. she didn’t complain and fetched it.

By the time Sienna returned to the office, it was 9:30 in the morning and all her colleagues had already arrived.

Instead of working at their desks, they were gathered together, whispering anxiously.

“Ms. Barton, your package.”

Slenna said, unaware of the impending danger, handing it over.

Mona didn’t take it, instead crossing her arms and sternly questioning, “Sienna, what on earth is going on?”

“You’ve made a huge mess of a simple task I assigned you! Are you trying to ruin Read Law?”

Sienna, confused, glanced at her colleagues and saw they were all looking at her unhappily, as if she had committed an offense.

“What happened?”

Sienna asked, managing to remain calm despite Mona’s aggressive questioning.

“How dare you ask! I told you to send the scanned files to the client, making sure everything matched, and you somehow sent them to our rival law firm!” Mona was shaking with anger, wishing she could slap Sienna. “Do you know how much damage this could do to our firm? It’s not just about money, but relationships and connections!”

In this industry, connections were essential.

Read Law relied on Donald to maintain many key clients and important relationships.

Now, Sienna’s mistake threatened not only Mona but the entire firm.

“What’s going on?”

Donald entered the room just as Mona demanded an explanation from Sienna.

He noticed Sienna surrounded by the crowd and asked softly, “Are you all gossiping instead of working this early in the morning?”

With Donald’s arrival, Mona grew bolder, straightening her back and saying, “Donald, you have no idea how ridiculous Sienna’s mistake is. She’s practically pushing Read Law into the fire.”

Mona exaggerated the situation, and Donald listened silently. After a while, he turned to Sienna. “I want to hear your explanation.”

He wouldn’t believe only one side of the story, especially when Mona was targeting Sienna.
