Chapter 120

Leon felt a sharper pain in his chest from anger. He looked at Sienna and asked, “Did you see the trending topic?”

Sienna was momentarily confused. “What trending top?” She had a bad feeling.

Leon handed his phone to her. “Take a look for yourself.”

Sienna took the phone and, after reading, her expression instantly darkened. Just a moment ago, she had been excited about landing the leading role in the popular fantasy drama. Now, she realized that the role she obtained was actually one Phoebe had rejected. This revelation left her feeling like a thorn was lodged in her throat. She couldn’t believe she had taken a role that Phoebe didn’t want. She was upset.

Sienna thought Phoebe was foolish to choose the second female lead instead of the female lead role. Seeing Sienna’s changing expression, Leon was convinced she genuinely had no idea about the situation. However, it only confirmed how foolish he felt, being mocked by Phoebe.

He said coldly, “So, all this time, you wanted me to embarrass myself in front of Phoebe?”

Already feeling frustrated, Sienna couldn’t help but retort, “I didn’t know it would turn out this way. Are you blaming me?”

Leon raised an eyebrow. “Shouldn’t I? I’ve humiliated myself in front of Phoebe several times, and it was because of you every time. Sienna, I know you have your schemes, but you shouldn’t always think of using me as a pawn.”

Before Phoebe left the Jenkins family, Leon genuinely believed she was always stealing things from Sienna and bullying her. But after several confrontations, he understood Phoebe’s straightforward and tough personality. If she wanted to deal with Sienna, she wouldn’t do it in a sneaky or petty way. Leon slowly realized that their brotherhood had been manipulated by Sienna, turning them into her weapons. Though he found it irritating, Sienna was his younger sister, whom he had cared for for over a decade, so he tolerated her. Recently, he was a bit bored, so he indulged her. Thinking about Phoebe’s earlier mockery darkened his expression further. Not only had he been beaten and schemed against by his sister, but he was also being used as a tool by his foster sister, making him feel embarrassed.

Sienna’s expression changed slightly. “I didn’t do anything wrong. How could you misunderstand me?”

Leon looked at her with a faint smile. “You know very well whether it’s a misunderstanding or not. Is there anything else? If not, I want to rest.” He felt irritated and didn’t want to see her anymore.

Sienna realized Leon had changed quite a bit, undoubtedly due to Phoebe’s instigation. She said, “Leon, I’m just standing up for you. Even though the role I got was one that Phoebe rejected, it’s still a leading role. But Mr. Galvan clearly promised you that he would give me the lead, and now he deliberately let Phoebe choose first. They’re disrespecting you.”

After checking the trending topic, Sienna felt conflicted about whether she should continue with the lead role. Quickly, she decided to go for it, intending to outperform Phoebe. Since Phoebe wanted to play an antagonist, she would accommodate her by creating a contrast. That had been her plan all along. It was just the method that she found hard to accept. In this drama, the female lead would become famous, and the second female lead had gained considerable attention. Sienna thought if she played the female lead, she would surely become popular.

She figures! If she had them revise the script, it would make the second female lead more detestable. And to revise the script, she needed Leon’s help. In the past, if Leon had branded such words, he would have been annoyed. But after repeatedly losing to Phoebe and being frustrated, he no longer felt arrogant or easy to provoke.

He countered, “What do you mean by saying all this?”

Sienna reached out and hugged Leon. He leaned closer and said, “Leon, since Mr. Galvan disrespected you over this, you should make some requests of him. He definitely won’t refuse.”

Brom wanted to laugh. They had always thought of their seemingly innocent and delicate sister as harmless, yet she had her own schemes. He asked, “What should I request from Mr. Galan?”

Since Leon had previously spoiled and indulged Sienna, she had not noticed his discomfort, thinking he was just feeling unwell and in a bad mood. So, she blurted her idea. “Leon, why don’t you ask Mr. Galvan to revise the script? The second female lead has too little screen time. You could ask them to give her more.” She explained how to add more scenes. Leon had never realized that Sienna had such a cunning streak.

He asked, “Do you know why Mr. Galvan initially agreed to me but now wants Phoebe to choose her role first?” “And when he called Maddox, he didn’t hesitate to humiliate me.”

Sienna thought for a moment and replied, “It must be because of Phoebe. Mr. Galvan knows that Phoebe is your biological sister, so that’s why he is acting this way.” She believed it to be true. She held a grudge against Carter for humiliating her.

However, Leon shook his head. “That’s not it. I previously secured this role for you by leveraging a favor.”

“Mr. Galvan initially wanted to choose another rising star for the lead role and had already been in talks with her. But I forced him to use you.” “Naturally, he wasn’t happy. But at that time, I had not yet encountered issues, and your reputation was not so damaged. So he compromised.” He paused and added, “Now that I’ve been cast aside by the company, and your reputation isn’t as pristine, he is deliberately retaliating.”

Carter was not known for being magnanimous. In the past, Leon had taken advantage of Jenkins Entertainment’s influence to pressure Carter. Now, Carter was getting his revenge. Moreover, going to confront Carter now would be pointless since they had indeed used Sienna for the lead role.

Leon added a cutting remark, “From this, you can see that he values Phoebe more than you.”

Sienna’s expression changed again. This was the reason she least wanted to accept. She leaned against his shoulder, looking up at him with hopeful eyes. “Leon, why don’t you ask him to revise the script? He should be willing to help.”

In the past, her brothers would always agree to her requests. This is how she acted. Leon gave a self-deprecating smile and pushed Sienna away from his arm. He pinched her chin with one hand, his gaze devoid of warmth. “Sienna, did you ignore what I just said?”

Then he leaned closer and whispered in her ear, “If you want to climb into my bed, I wouldn’t mind. But if you keep using me as a pawn, I won’t let it slide.” He brushed his fingers over her brow. “I still prefer the old Sienna who was nice and gentle.”

Sienna felt the warm breath of Leon speaking near her ear, but her back felt a chill. She had always known that among her brothers, Leon appeared gentle and refined but was ruthless and unpredictable. His words now made her feel a bit disturbed.

Chapter 120

At that moment, Leon released her chin. Sienna trembled and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She looked at him with eyes filled with humiliation. “Besides, we are siblings. How could I ever climb into your bed?”

Sienna was unsure of what Leon thought of her. Leon raised an eyebrow. “Everything you’ve done suggests otherwise.”

Before, he had not thought much about their closeness. However, after being stopped and scolded by their mother, and after Reece brought it up, Leon realized the nature of their relationship had been called into question. Only then did he realize how abnormal their relationship seemed to others. He couldn’t help but suspect whether Sienna saw him as a brother or had ulterior motives against him.
