Chapter 236

The three of them immediately thought of Sienna. Cain glanced at the table and suddenly realized he had eaten a lot. Yet, he still didn’t feel full. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me today. I just felt so hungry and wanted to eat,” he said.

Joshua frowned. “Stop eating. If you keep going, your stomach is going to burst.” Cain still wanted to eat but wasn’t as hungry as before. Worried about overeating, he reluctantly put the food down. “Alright.” Yawning, he said, “I’m so tired. I’m going upstairs to sleep.”

Leon observed Cain’s poor state—he looked exhausted and drained. He couldn’t help but ask, “Did Sienna come to see you last night?” Cain answered without thinking, “Yeah, she did. Why?”

Leon pressed further, “Did she ask you for luck? And did you give it to her?” Cain was stunned. “How do you know?” Leon rubbed his temples. This idiot actually gave it to her. With a look of sympathy, he turned to Cain and said, “Cain, you better pray for yourself.”

Joshua and Jamar exchanged glances. The inevitable had finally happened. Both of them sighed and said in unison, “Cain, you better pray for yourself.” They didn’t know what else to say. No wonder Cain had been acting so strangely—eating so much without feeling full, looking so out of it. So he had given his luck to Sienna. But the speed of the reaction scared them. This thing was seriously eerie. And Sienna… she was even more terrifying. Now, they could only wait and see what would happen to Cain in seven days.

As his brothers stared at him with both sympathy and disappointment, telling him to “pray for yourself,” Cain felt an uneasy chill creeping up his spine. Irritated, he rolled his eyes, “Are you guys insane? I’m fine. And why have you all been so against Sienna lately? Did Phoebe say something to you? Sure, we share some responsibility for what happened to Phoebe, but that doesn’t mean you can take it out on Sienna! You…”

Cain started lecturing them, urging them to be kinder to Sienna. Leon, already fed up, cut him off before he could continue. There was no point in talking sense into someone who had already fallen into the trap. “Fine. I’m insane, okay? Since I don’t want my insanity to affect you and Sienna, I’m moving out tonight,” Leon declared. He didn’t dare stay in this house any longer. Cain just gave him the perfect excuse to leave.

Joshua and Jamar were speechless. Leon was as sharp as ever—he had immediately found an excuse to escape. The two of them didn’t want to stay either. Who knew if Sienna would be satisfied with just Cain’s luck? What if she turned on them next?

Joshua quickly chimed in, “I’m insane too. I’m moving out.” Jamar followed suit. “I’m seriously ill. I’m leaving as well.” Cain’s face darkened. “Are you guys serious?” Leon nodded firmly. “As serious as it gets. Cain, this house is in your hands now.”

With that, he bolted upstairs to pack. He couldn’t stay another minute. Seeing Leon move so fast, Joshua and Jamar panicked and rushed to pack their things as well. Jamar patted Cain on the shoulder. “Cain, Sienna and this house are counting on you.” Then he disappeared.

Joshua also patted Cain’s shoulder and said, “It’s tough handling everything on your own. Stay strong. Call us if you need anything.” Before Cain could respond, he was gone too.

Watching them disappear one by one, Cain was speechless. These three must have lost their minds. But he was too tired and drained to think any further. He collapsed onto his bed and fell asleep instantly.

Meanwhile, Leon and Jamar packed up and left as fast as they could. Jostma, however, was delayed by a call from his agent. By the time he finished packing and dragged his suitcase out the door, he ran into Sienna in the hallway. She was humming a tune, looking like she was in an exceptionally good mood.

Seeing Joshua alone, her eyes lit up. With a bright, sweet smile, she called out, “Joshua, where are you going with that suitcase?” In the past, Joshua would have found her smile adorable. But under the dim hallway light, it sent shivers down his spine. He felt like a piece of fresh meat in front of a hungry predator.

Suppressing his nerves, he forced a calm expression. “My agent called. I need to go record a song.” Sienna tilted her head. “But you don’t have to move out for that, do you?” Joshua smiled stiffly. “I need a change of environment to find inspiration.”

Sienna rolled her wheelchair closer, looking up at him with a pitiful gaze. “Joshua, I’ve been so unlucky lately. Can you…” She wasn’t satisfied with just the portion of luck she had taken from Cain. If she wanted to make a breakthrough on the next reality show and turn public opinion in her favor, she needed more luck. Since she had run into Joshua alone, she wasn’t going to hold back.

Yeshua’s heart sank. He had seen this coming. Afraid she would grab his hand or find some excuse to touch him, he quickly cut her off before she could finish speaking. Glancing at his watch, he blurted out, “Sorry, Sienna, but I have to rush to the airport. It’s already late—if I delay any longer, I’ll miss my flight. Let’s talk when I get back, okay?”

Without waiting for her response, he grabbed his suitcase and bolted. Only when he had driven out of the villa complex did he finally breathe a sigh of relief. That had scared the bell out of him. Since he reached the city, he found a place to park and pulled out his phone. He created a private group chat, adding Leon and Jamar. Then, he sent a voice message, recounting everything that had just happened. Leon and Jamar were relieved—they had escaped just in time. Joshua’s quick thinking had saved him as well.

Had he hesitated for even a moment, he might have lost a talisman. The three of them all felt that they had just narrowly escaped death. At the same time, they couldn’t help but pity Cain again. They each became a metaphorical candle for him in their minds.

On Sienna’s side, she was left stunned as Joshua ran off so quickly. She thought, ‘What was going on? Why were Leon and Joshua acting so strangely around me?’ Her expression darkened as she narrowed her eyes. “You can run, but you can’t hide. You’ll all be mine sooner or later.”

For the next few days, Leon, Joshua, and Jamar didn’t return home. Ollie was away on a business trip with Elliot, and Lydia had gone back to her parents’ house. That left only Cat—who slept through most of the day—and Sienna, whose appearance was gradually recovering but was being driven insane by the strict etiquette lessons she had to endure daily.

That day, just as Phoebe was about to leave for the film set, two unexpected guests arrived at her house.
