Chapter 268
Sienna turned her head in confusion, only to find Chelsea smiling at her. The hostility in her expression was no less intense than when she was staring down Yvette earlier.
Sienna frowned, puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you know?” Chelsea tilted her chin slightly, pointing toward the door. “Your boyfriend was here, but he didn’t even spare you a glance. Funny, Don’t it?”
She let out a laugh, her gaze sweeping over Sienna. “When I left Jeiacrity, I thought Josiah would never give up on Yvette, but then I came back and heard he got a girlfriend. And it’s you.”
Chelsea’s voice dripped with mockery. “You’re certainly beautiful, but what a pity–you’ve still lost to Yvette. Josiah doesn’t care about
Sienna pieced together the backstory. It seemed Chelsea was an old acquaintance of josiali’s, someone who had known him for years. figured Chelsea must have left the country before the Flynn family adopted her, which explained why she didn’t recognize her.
you at all.”
Sienna
Chelsea smiled as she leaned in slightly. “Since Josiah doesn’t truly care about you, I guess I won’t need to hold back. With that, she flicked her hair over her shoulder and strode out of the room.
Sienna let out a surprised chuckle, thinking, So. Chelsea likes Josiah, huh? Well, Mr. Flynn certainly has no shortage of admirers
Stepping out of the rehearsal room, Josial stared at Yvette. “Besides your face, are you hurt anywhere else? Can you walk on your own!”
Yvette scoffed, brushing him off. “Do you really care where I’m hurt?
“Yvette Josiah frowned, hesitating for a long moment before saying, “I call Howard and ask him to pick you
“No need” Yvette snapped, gripping his arm tightly. “Why would I need him He’s just like you–neither of you actually care about me?”
Josiah sighed, his tone filled with helplessness. “Don’t say that. Howard only wants what’s best for you”
Yvette laughed bitterly, her tears spilling as she chuckled. “Really? He lied to me, and now you too.
“Is it because you’ve been a privileged young master for so long that you’ve forgotten that, just like me, you once lived in the dirt and used to be the most insignificant and lowly kind of person at your core?”
Yvette spun around abruptly. “Don’t follow me. I don’t need your fake concern!”
“Yvette Josiah called after her, completely at a loss.
“Mr. Flynn…” Janet looked unsure of what to do and asked timidly. “What should I do?”
“Follow her.” Josiah instructed with a frown, “I’ll call Mr. Howard Flynn. Just keep an eye on her and don’t let her wander off
Janet said, “Understood. Mr. Flynn”
Josiah picked up his phone and called Howard, “It’s me. Yeah, okay, got it”
Hanging up, Josiah exhaled deeply, relieved to have that sorted. Then, a sudden thought hit him like a jolt–Siennal Without wasting a second, he strode quickly back toward the rehearsal room.
However, when he got there, the room was completely quiet. Sienna was nowhere to be found. The only person inside was a janitor, mopping the floor. “Don’t come in! The floor’s wet the janitor shouted.
ty and fear crept in His heart
Josiah frowned, turned, and quickly stepped out. Pulling out his phone, he called Sienna. An unsettling mix of anxiety pounded as he wondered, Would she be upset enough to ignore me?”
To his relief, Sienna picked up. “Hello?”
“Sienna” Josiah sounded relieved. “Where are you!”
Sienna said, “I’m in the dressing room.
come to you,” Josiah said.
Sienna held her phone, a bit puzzled. She thought, ‘Hasn’t left with Yvette? She locked her closet and stepped out of the dressing room.

Chapter 268
The moment she opened the door, she saw Josiah standing right there, slightly out of breath, clearly having run over.
“Sienna” Josiah took a couple of steps closer, gently taking her hand. His g
gaze softened as he looked down at her, his tone cautious. “Are you upset?”
Sienna didn’t answer. She simply slipped her hand out of his. “Let’s go. This isn’t the place to talk.”
“Okay” Josiah nodded without protest. This wasn’t the right place for a conversation anyway.
Once they exited the studio and got into the car, Sienna leaned back and closed her eyes, her body language making it clear she wasn’t in the mood to talk. Josiah felt a sharp pang in his chest. There was no doubt she was angry.
“Sienna” Josiah leaned closer, brushing her hair aside and tucking it behind her car. Her delicate carlobe, adorned with a small pearl earring. glinted softly in the light, perfectly accentuating her refined elegance.
He gazed at her frown, his voice low and coaxing. “Don’t be upset, okay? I couldn’t just ignore her back there
Sienna suddenly opened her eyes, staring straight into his. “Josial, have you ever thought about when we’ll break up?”
Josiah froze, his expression flickering for a moment before his face darkened. Then he said in an unpleasant voice, “Is your memory failing? When we reconciled, you promised not to bring up breaking up easily!”
1 remember it.” Sienna nodded, letting out a soft laugh, tinged with helplessness and irony. Tm not bringing up breaking up. I’m just asking about your plan.”
Josial stared at her with a mixture of pain and frustration in his chest. Tve never thought about breaking up.” Marriage had been on his mind breaking up was the last thing he wanted.
“Sienna.” His heart clenched in sudden panic. He opened his arms and pulled her into a tight embrace. “Didn’t Howard already tell you? My feelings for Yvelle are just out of gratitude.”
“Just gratitude?” Sienna raised her hand, her finger pressing lightly against his chest before stopping over his heart. “Maybe you and Howard are both wrong. What if your feelings for her go beyond gratitude?”.
Josiah said. “Stop, Sienna
“It’s possible” Sienna ignored his protest, smiling. “Didn’t Howard fall for Yvette in the same way at first?”
Josiah let out a sneer, his frustration spilling over. “Sounds right, but it’s utter nonsense. I’m not Howard?
He clasped her hand tightly, intertwining their fingers. “Jealous, aren’t you just admit it. And honestly, I kind of like it when you’re jealous. He thought that her jealousy meant she cared about him.
Sienna also smiled with her eyes fixed steadily on his face. “Do you find it entertaining to fool me?”
“What do you mean?” “Josiah froze, clearly not catching on right away.
Sienna kept her smile, though it carried a hint of sarcasm. “You’re always talking about love and marriage. Is teasing me fun for you? I’m not some naive little girl who’d actually believe it”
In an instant, Josiah’s expression darkened. “You’ve never taken my words seriously, have y
* you?”
Sienna nodded calmly. “Yeah, because it’s all fake, Trit it–ah!”
Josiah suddenly grasped her wrist, his grip firm enough to sting. Sienna winced and shot him a glare, but Josiah, though trying to restrain himself. seemed caught between anger and amusement. “Do you think all that love and care I show you is fake?”
“Love and care?” Stemma’s lips curled into a cold smile. No longer in the mood to circle around the topic, she said bluntly. “I met Mr. Miller today”
