Chapter 376
Sienna raised an eyebrow. “Oh? You’re introducing someone to me?”
Hearing her tone, Paige straightened up, her voice dripping with arrogance. “Of course, it’s for you. I wouldn’t give this opportunity to just anyone. SIE Corporation is a top-tier company. Your Hart Corporation definitely wants to cooperate with them. If you get together with that manager, you won’t have to worry about future collaborations. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Reno, standing nearby, nearly burst out laughing but managed to hold it in, thanks to her professional training. Introducing Miss Enna to an employee from her own company? Reno thought, incredulous. Even the wildest joke isn’t this funny,” she added silently.
Sienna let out a cold laugh, straightening up, her eyes cold and sharp. “How exactly is this for my own good? Go on, tell me.”
Paige was at a loss for words, clearly not expecting that. She couldn’t think of anything to say for a moment. The partnership, isn’t that for your own good?” she stammered.
Sienna scoffed. “You really think you can use those flimsy gimmicks you call a partnership to cheat me out of thirty million? Should I call you naive, or just plain stupid?”
“You! Sienna! Don’t you know what’s good for you! I’m your aunt. You owe me filial piety! And I’m going to live here. Your cousin is about to come back from overseas. She graduated from a top university, you know. When she’s back, you’ll make her your assistant at the company, and her monthly salary can’t be less than 17 grand.”
Reno was speechless. Is she dreaming? she wondered.
Sienna replied coolly. “If you’re crazy, I can send you straight to a mental hospital.”
“You! Sienna, what do you mean? Is this how you talk to your elders? I’m your aunt!” Paige shot to her feet, glaring at Sienna furiously. So rude, no manners at all. She grew up without a mother’s guidance, she thought.
“You don’t have to be. If you value your life, then get out,” Sienna said coldly, closing her eyes and going back to sleep.
“You! Sienna, you’re just like your mother—always acting like you’re better than everyone else! Ugh, who do you think you are? Who even knows how you survived those ten years abroad? Probably by sleeping with old men! Trying to do you a favor by introducing you to someone, and you still turn your nose up at it. You’re nothing but a cheap slut!” Paige sputtered.
Before she could finish, Reno punched her, sending Paige crashing to the floor.
Paige stared at Reno in disbelief. “What…What are you doing?” she stammered.
Reno glanced at Sienna, who stayed perfectly calm, instantly catching her meaning. She cracked her knuckles, ready for action, and closed in on Paige.
The next second, the room was filled with Paige’s screams. Paige couldn’t believe they actually dared to lay a hand on her.
“Stop! Please, stop! Sorry, I was wrong Sienna, Sienna, I’m sorry!” she wailed. “Have mercy! Please, let me go! I swear I won’t talk nonsense again!” she begged.
“Reno,” Sienna said flatly.
Only then, with Paige curled up on the floor, did Sienna finally speak up. “Do you still think you’re my aunt now?” Sienna asked, her voice icy. Her cold, proud gaze landed on Paige.
Paige didn’t dare say yes, shaking her head like a rattle-drum.
“No! No! I’m not. I’m not! Sienna, please, let me go, I swear I won’t ever say anything bad about you again,” she pleaded.
“Get lost. Don’t let me see you again,” Sienna said coldly.
Paige scrambled and crawled out of the Hart residence, her heart burning with hatred for Sienna. That rebellious little bitch, she thought bitterly.
She was determined to go tell her mother, hoping she could put Sienna in her place. Let’s see how cocky she can be then, she thought.
Limping and covered in bruises, Paige went to her mother, hoping her mom would stand up for her. But instead, her mom just told her to stay away from Sienna, or they’d both be screwed.
