Chapter 247
Sienna looked at Yvettes furious and belligerent expression and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Josiah Sienna said, “Yvette, do you have a grudge against Josiah?”
“Huh?” Yvette was taken aback, not understanding what she meant, and replied, “What are you talking about!”
“No grudge Sienna nodded a hint of a contemptuous smile appearing on her pretty face, and said, “Then you really are incredibly selfish.
“To put it bluntly, you like both brothers, but you can only marry one. You can’t save Josiah, yet you’re unwilling to let him go, and you can’t stand the thought of him being with another woman, Sienna continued.
“Sienna Shut up!” Yvette interrupted her before she could finish, a deep anger
ger appearing on her delicate face.
“What nonsense are you spouting! How can you even say such filthy things? Your heart is dirty, that’s why everything looks dirty to you! Josiah and I grew up together, I want him to be happy more than anyone else,” Yvette declared.
“Don’t sound so sanctimonious,” Sienna said indifferently, her tone flat,
H
f you really felt that way, you wouldn’t say in front of me. That he will always remember you… such words,” Sienna pointed out. The implication of sowing discord was so obvious. Only a fool wouldn’t catch on.
“You! Hah” Yvette laughed derisively. “What are you even worth?”
“Ah!” Sienna tilted her head, feigning confusion.
“Yeah, what am I worth? I’m puzzled too. When Josiah was taken in, he said to remember… that his injury was for me, not related to you. What do you think that means?” Sienna said.
Sienna’s lips curled up as she flicked her hair, then turned and left.
Yvette was stunned, left standing there speechless. She wondered, ‘Did Josiah really say that? Does he… does he love Sienna?
Howard finished signing the paperwork and came over, bumping into Sienna face–to–face. “Howard,” Sienna greeted politely with a nod, preparing to walk away. She didn’t want to go back and face Yvette.
Sienna, Howard glanced in Yvette’s direction, then lowered his head and said, “Can we talk? I have something to say to you.”
Since Howard had spoken, Sienna couldn’t refuse. She said, “Sure, Howard”
“Follow me,” Howard said. He led her to the lounge.
“Here, Sienna,” Howard poured her a glass of water.
Sienna took it, holding it in her hands, and said, “Thank you, Howard.”
“No need,” Howard said. He sat down opposite her, falling silent for a moment, pandering
how to broach the subject.
“Howard“, Sienna apologized first, “Today’s incident was my fault. I take responsibility. Although it wasn’t intentional, she had indeed hurt Josiah, causing him to undergo a second surgery.
Howard was taken aback, shaking his head. He said, “Don’t be nervous. I’m not here to hold you accountable for this. I don’t know the full I don’t have the right to blame you.”
Hory, and
Sienna’s eyebrows twitched. She wondered. Then what does he want to talk to me about?
“Sienna Howard sighed,
d, slowly speaking, “I can see that you and Josiah have some misunderstandings, and d it’s because of Yvette, right?” Sienna was startled, her eyes widening in surprise. This topic was a taboo within the Flynn family, never to be spoken of openly, especially not in
front of Howard
Seeing her look like she was facing a great threat, Howard couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “Relax, it’s okay, I know everything. Including the rumors in Jelacrity that the two Flynn brothers fell in love with the same girl..
Sienna opened her mouth but was at a loss for words. She thought, As one of the parties involved, he could be so calm

Howard picked up the cup on the table and took a si
sip of w
of water.
He said, “I’ve never explained before, mainly because there was no way to explain. Once I started talking. I would never b millions of mouths spreading namors. What the truth is, I know in my heart, and that’s enough”
be able to counter the
Sienna fell silent, even her breathing becoming lighter. She thought. So, there’s a hidden story here! The rumors, are they really just baseless
fabrications!
Howard put down the cup and said, “Both Josiah and I were very kind to Yvette. That’s true… one hundred percent true. Sienna, do you want to
know why?”
Sienna was taken aback, her heart rate suddenly increasing. She pursed her lips and nodded, saying, “Yes”
“Ah,” Howard let out a soft sigh, seeming to have difficulty speaking. He said, “This matter is rarely mentioned within the Flynn family because… it’s not a pleasant memory for Josiah and me, especially for JosiahTM
He spoke slowly and with difficulty, bringing up the past. Howard said. “When Josiah and I were young, we were kidnapped… Also kidnapped at the same time were their parents. At that time, this incident caused a sensation in Jeiacrity.
The police investigated day and night but could never find their whereabouts. Because, after they disappeared, the kidnappers never contacted Miranda Flynn. The police deduced that the kidnappers were not after money, which made the situation much more complicated
This case remained unsolved for half a year that year. In the end, the police found Howard and Josiah in the hideout of a criminal gang, starving and covered in injuries.
At that time, Josiah was being carried on the back of a girl. The girl looked to be around his age, ragged and bony, having already carried him for ten kilometers in the mountains.
After the police rescued them, they immediately wanted to take them to the hospital,
However, the girl refused because she still had to take them to find Howard. Howard was older than her, and she couldn’t carry him.
Since Josiah was saved, she had to go back and save him. Thus, under the girl’s guidance, the police rescued Howard. But their parents… their whereabouts remained unknown. According to the police’s speculation, they must have already perished.
This piece of the past was buried in the hearts of every member of the Flynn family, rarely spoken of, because just thinking about it would rip open the wounds in their hearts and leave them raw and bleeding.
At this moment, after Howard briefly finished speaking, his voice sounded remote as if it wasn’t his own. He said. “That’s how it was.”
Sienna’s lips were slightly parted, her vision already blurred. She understood and said, “Yvette was that girl
“Mm,” Howard nodded, responding softly. He said, “The world only knows that the two of us brothers were good to her, but they never knew that she deserved it
Sienna thought, ‘Indeed. Even Sienna couldn’t deny it. Just imagine, without Yvette, the Flynn family might have already vanished from Jeiacrity,
Sienna thought, “Miranda, an old lady, lonely and destitute, how could she have carried on? No wonder Yvette acted with impunity. There was such a history behind it!
“Sienna,” Howard spoke again, his voice a bit hoarse, “Josiah is my younger brother. I know him well. I can tell, he likes you, probably more than he
realizes.”
He glanced at his wristwatch and stood up.
He said. “He is straightforward by nature. His kindness to Yvette is out of gratitude but with you? His kindness to you is simply because he wants to be kind to you. If that’s not love, then what is?”
