Chapter 387

Before she could finish, Sienna raised a hand. โ€œNo need. Doesnโ€™t Sally Monroe have a cousin? Weโ€™ll go straight to her. Tell her if she wants to work with us, she has three days to see me.โ€

Lana scratched her head, looking bewildered. โ€œMs. Hart, Sally Monroeโ€™s cousin, Demi Bale, is known for her terrible temper. Sheโ€™s incredibly stubborn and inflexible, never has a kind word for anyone. Are we really going to work with someone like that? She has no sense of teamwork; she might even turn on us.โ€

Sienna gently touched her belly, a faint smile playing on her lips. โ€œTrust me, sheโ€™ll cooperate.โ€

Lana and Reno exchanged confused glances. โ€œMs. Hart, we donโ€™t understand.โ€ They exchanged another look, wondering if Sienna had some leverage over Demi.

โ€œShe only lost her husband a year ago, right?โ€ Sienna asked.

Lana and Reno nodded.

โ€œAnd sheโ€™s been going on blind dates lately, hasnโ€™t she?โ€ Sienna added.

They nodded again, utterly perplexed, remaining silent, awaiting Siennaโ€™s explanation.

โ€œSend Aiden Hartโ€™s photo to her,โ€ Sienna said calmly.

โ€œHuh?โ€ Lana and Reno exclaimed, stunned.

โ€œJust do as I say,โ€ Sienna instructed, her tone brooking no argument.

Ever since Aiden left the psych ward, life had been easy. His monthly allowance was only seven thousand, but women constantly pursued him. Even his doctor visited him for free. As long as he didn't cross Sienna, he figured he could live comfortably.

That afternoon, Sienna basked in the sun while Thorn chattered beside her. She closed her eyes, ignoring him.

โ€œSienna, do you think itโ€™ll be a boy or a girl?โ€ he asked. โ€œIf itโ€™s a girl, do you think sheโ€™ll look just like you?โ€ he continued. โ€œSienna, youโ€™re due in six months, right?โ€ he added.

Thorn tried to touch her belly, but Julian, standing nearby, smacked his hand with a stick. The red marks on Thorn's hand suggested he'd tried more than once.

โ€œMs. Hart, Demi Bale is here,โ€ Lana announced.

Sienna slowly opened her eyes. โ€œLet her in.โ€

A moment later, a voluptuous woman with long, golden curls entered, her high heels clicking. Her confident expression blossomed into a bright smile upon seeing Sienna.

โ€œHey, Hazel Noir, itโ€™s been a while!โ€ Demi greeted her cheerfully. โ€œAnd your brother Thorn Noir is here too! Oh wow, youโ€™re pregnant!โ€ Demi exclaimed.

โ€œDemi Bale, please have a seat,โ€ Sienna said.

โ€œSure,โ€ Demi nodded, glancing around, then asking, โ€œSo, whereโ€™s the marriage alliance partner you promised to introduce me to?โ€

As Demi finished speaking, Sienna and Julian looked at Thorn.

Thornโ€™s eyes widened in shock. He leaped from his seat, furious. โ€œWhat? What are you talking about? A marriage alliance? Sienna, are you seriously trying to set me up with this cougar? How can you be so cold-blooded?โ€

He was devastated. Sienna was always cold and distant, but thisโ€”even knowing his feelingsโ€”was unforgivable. "How could she be so heartless?" Thorn fumed.

Demi grabbed his ear. โ€œThorn, you little brat! Who are you calling a cougar? Call me โ€˜girlโ€™!โ€

Thorn grimaced, glaring fiercely. โ€œDemi Bale, just give up already! Thereโ€™s no wayโ€”absolutely no wayโ€”"
