Chapter 104
Jocelyn looked like she wanted to say something but kept hesitating, making everyone anxious. “Jocelyn, dear, just tell us! Who is it?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to say it. I’m just afraid you’ll be wronged. She’s really not someone you want to mess with,” Jocelyn said.
“We have justice on our side. What do we have to be afraid of? Just tell us, who is it?” they pressed.
Jocelyn exaggerated as she revealed Sienna’s name. The last incident had already made them resent Sienna, and now it was her doing again. She’d really gone too far this time.
A whole crowd marched up to the Hart residence, looking fierce and intent on demanding justice.
Sienna heard from Ebert that Linda had brought a whole group of people to the gate. She was just about to have someone take care of it when another idea popped into her head–Aiden’s mother. She came here this morning, yelling for money.
Not content with just sending her away, Sienna told Ebert to bring her back. Ebert was confused, but he didn’t dare question Sienna’s orders.
Madam Hart came storming back into the Hart residence, cursing all the way. But when she saw the woman sitting on the sofa, her bravado instantly faltered.
‘She must be calling me back to give me money,‘ she thought.
‘No matter how stubborn this brat is, I’m still her grandma,‘ she grumbled to herself.
‘We’re family, after all. No matter how tough she acts, she wouldn’t really embarrass me in front of everyone,’ she reassured herself.
‘Isn’t Madam Hart always singing Linda’s praises? Well, let’s see how she handles it when she’s forced to go after her favorite,‘ Sienna thought.
“Here’s seventeen grand. If you do what I say, I’ll give you another seven grand,” Sienna said, tossing the money on the table.
Madam Hart didn’t hesitate for a second. She snapped, “Sienna, I’m your real grandma! How dare you treat me like this? This amount of money? Am I a beggar to you?”
Madam Hart shot Sienna a vicious glare. ‘So she really wants me to rough someone up?‘ she thought.
‘And she wants me to go after Linda? This is absolutely outrageous. She’s actually sending me out there to rough someone up? Does she think I’m some kind of thug? She’s just using me. Madam Hart fumed inwardly.
‘Sienna is such an ungrateful brat. What a ingrate, Madam Hart cursed to herself.
But now she was flat broke, could barely put food on the table, and her son was still stuck in the hospital recovering.
“Fine, I’ll do it,” she said through gritted teeth.
Madam Hart clenched her fists and stormed out, striding in a way that seemed way too energetic for someone her age.
Linda spotted Madam Hart and felt like she’d just found her savior. ‘Mom’s definitely here to take me home, she thought, clinging to hope.
