Chapter 54
In the courtyard, the others washed up and returned to their rooms to rest. Sienna lay on the bed, thinking about the day's events. She wondered if anyone outside had tried to interfere with their relationship. She was worried and afraid. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Jamar.
After Jamar saw the message, he got up, opened the door, and went out. He saw Sienna standing under the fig tree in the courtyard. He walked over. “Sienna, what’s wrong?”
When Sienna saw Jamar approaching, she threw herself into his arms. “Jamar, I’m scared.”
Jamar was stunned. He asked in confusion, “What are you afraid of?” Sienna’s eyes were red as she hugged his waist tightly. She looked up at him. “I’m afraid someone will uncover our relationship, and you will be implicated because of me and scolded. After all, you’re Phoebe’s biological brother.”
As she said this, she cried out in grievance. She was so afraid that her dad, Mont, and her brothers wouldn't want her anymore. She was used to being the daughter of a rich family; she did not want to return to her old home. That was why she had always secretly and privately slandered Phoebe in front of everyone, giving them the impression that Phoebe wanted to steal her identity and disliked her. She made them believe Phoebe wanted to snatch everything from her and even wanted to chase her away. Over the past year, she had been successful in influencing them. As expected, her parents and brothers still doted on her more than on Phoebe, and they were becoming more dissatisfied with Phoebe. So what if she was their biological daughter? She’s still inferior to me, the adopted daughter, Sienna thought. If she wanted something from Phoebe, she just had to mention it casually, and the Jenkins family would take the initiative to snatch it from Phoebe for her.
Originally, everything had always been under her control. However, everything started to go out of control after the spot incident. Phoebe suddenly rebuked her family, whom she cared about so much, and even cut ties with them and left. Originally, Sienna was happy that she had finally driven Phoebe, their real daughter, away. In the future, she would still be the only little princess in the Jenkins family. However, the outcome was becoming very different from what she had expected.
After Phoebe left, although the Jenkins family complained and scolded Phoebe and even wanted to teach her a lesson, they showed that they hoped to force Phoebe to return to them most of the time. For example, Jamar. Previously, Phoebe had always been the center of his attention. However, after he went on that variety show, he couldn’t help but approach Phoebe and ask for her concern.
Chapter 51
This made Sienna feel uncomfortable; moreover, she could not help but feel a sense of danger. She had a feeling that things weren’t supposed to be like this, especially today. When Phoebe said she wouldn’t do fortune-telling for three kinds of people, she almost exposed their relationship in the live broadcast. Sienna panicked even more. After thinking about it, she suddenly felt that forcing Phoebe to leave was the worst move. She thought she should have let Phoebe continue to provoke the Jenkins family and make them dissatisfied until she got chased out by them. Therefore, she had to get her family to coax Phoebe back and think of a way to sow discord slowly. She wanted them to be unable to take it anymore and take the initiative to chase Phoebe out one day. Only then could she truly prevent future troubles.
Jamar had one arm around Sienna’s shoulders. He stroked her head with his other hand. “Silly girl, it won’t happen. You’re our family’s little princess and our darling. How can we not want you? As for your identity, you don’t have to worry about it even more. It hasn’t been exposed yet. Leon will think of a way to resolve it. And even if it’s exposed, I’m not afraid of being scolded. We’ll protect you.”
He looked at Sienna, who was in fear. He regretted his impulsiveness during the day. He even blamed Phoebe for insisting on telling him about the three types. Wasn’t she deliberately telling everyone that they are related by blood? Jamar thought. It was not that he didn’t want to acknowledge Phoebe as his sister, but he felt it wasn’t the time to make it public. No matter what, he had to wait for Sienna to stop being afraid and feeling that they wouldn’t want her anymore. He thought it was more appropriate to publicize their relationship when Sienna could feel safe and gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. Why can’t Phoebe wait? Jamar complained in his heart.
“Are you sure you guys won’t abandon me?” Sienna looked at him pitifully. It was as if she had to confirm it again before she felt at ease. Jamar’s heart ached when he saw her like this. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead habitually. He said firmly, “Of course, we won’t abandon you. You’ll always be our baby. Don’t worry.” Sienna smiled through her tears and said coquettishly, “Then, after this episode ends, you should coax Phoebe back. No matter what, she’s the Jenkins family’s biological daughter. I don’t want her to be unhappy and leave the Jenkins family because of me. I haven’t been at ease lately. If she doesn’t come back, I can’t help but feel that it’s my fault. Then, I want to leave too.”
When Jamar heard this, he looked at her gently and said, “Sienna, you’re so kind and sensible. She left because she wanted to. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t think much about it. Speaking of which, she’s the Jenkins family’s daughter, after all. We surely will get her back. Don’t worry. After she learns her lesson and returns, she probably won’t snatch everything from you deliberately.”
They all wanted to see Phoebe and Sienna get along at home. They thought it would come true when Phoebe was done messing around and returned home. Sienna was relieved to hear him say that. She took the initiative to lean over and kiss his face, “I knew you could understand me. You’re the best.”
After she went to the Jenkins family, Sienna wanted her brothers to dote on her more and be closer to her. Therefore, she deliberately took the initiative to do many intimate actions with them at an early age. She even wanted them to kiss her forehead and face affectionately to comfort and reward her. She would also take the initiative to kiss them to express her agreement and reward them affectionately. Just as she had expected, when she grew up, she continued to maintain this close relationship with her five brothers, and their relationship became better and better. In Sienna’s heart, she treated her live brothers as her own and did not want anyone else to touch them.
Jamar and Sienna didn’t notice that the courtyard’s door was open and the camera equipment had been moved. Their actions were recorded in the live broadcast from the moment they hugged. However, because there was a certain distance between them and the cameras, and they deliberately lowered their voices, the audience only saw their intimate actions but did not hear what they were saying. It was precisely because they didn’t hear what the two of them said that they were shocked. The originally closed live broadcast suddenly started again. The production team said they would launch a surprise attack to see how the guests were doing tonight. Who would have thought it would be so exciting as soon as the broadcast started!
The cameraman couldn’t stand at the door all the time; it would seem too deliberate. Anyway, the exciting part had already been broadcast live. So he carried the camera into the yard, followed by the other staff members of the production team. When they entered the courtyard, they shocked Jamar and Sienna. They let go of each other at the same time. Jamar frowned and looked at them, “What are you doing?” Then he realized that the camera was on. His expression changed slightly. “Did you start a live broadcast!”
Upon hearing his words, Sienna’s expression changed. She was even more worried that what they had just said would be broadcast live. The two of them secretly scolded the production team for being too cunning.
