Chapter 214
Winifred let out a cold, angry laugh. “You think I wanted to go find you? You took the wrong phone! You’re not a little kid anymore. Are you blind or what? Even pigs are smarter than you!”
“You’re the dumb one! Your whole family’s dumb! Winifred, you’re rude, shameless, and heartless, you jerk! You used my test paper to hold sunflower seed shells, and I haven’t even called you out for that yet!” Amber shot back.
The two of them started bickering and hurling insults at each other.
During the chaos, Winifred accidentally brushed Amber’s arm, and Amber fell to the floor with a loud thud.
“Boohoo! Sienna, it hurts! She punched me!” Amber complained to Sienna, looking all pitiful and aggrieved.
Winifred was at a total loss for words.
Sienna hurried over and wrapped Amber in a comforting hug, gently patting her back to calm her down.
“Winifred, no matter what happens, you can’t hit her. She’s your sister.”
Winifred felt like she was being framed. She protested, “I didn’t hit her! I swear! I barely even touched her! Sienna, she’s faking it!”
‘Ugh! That idiot Amber played me for a fool! This is so damn annoying!’ Winifred thought, her frustration reaching the boiling point.
Amber snuggled into Sienna’s arms, her body trembling with sobs, looking so pitiful and wronged.
“Boohoo, Sienna, my arm hurts so much! I’m not faking it, she’s so heartless! She’s not the one getting punched, so of course she says it’s nothing. She’s a mob boss, always out robbing and setting things on fire. She’s as strong as a bull. She almost beat me to death! Boohoo, Sienna, can I sleep with you tonight? I’m scared she’ll come after me for revenge in the middle of the night!”
Winifred’s eye twitched. ‘Mob boss? Robbing? Is she serious?’
“Why does that sound not entirely wrong?” Sienna thought. She cleared her throat awkwardly.
“Winifred, you can’t hit your sister again, got it?” Sienna said, trying to keep her voice steady.
Winifred felt like she’d swallowed a bitter pill but couldn’t say a word. She clenched her fists, swallowing her anger. Amber, still nestled in Sienna’s arms, smirked mischievously when Sienna wasn’t looking.
Winifred’s temper nearly boiled over, her fists clenching so tight they practically ached.
“Sienna, I want your chicken stew. It’s been ages since you made it,” Amber whined softly, snuggling up to Sienna and acting all cute.
“Alright, I’ll make it. Elisa, get the ingredients ready,” Sienna replied.
“I’ll help! I want to learn too!” Amber chirped, following Sienna to the kitchen.
“Ugh, I seriously want to punch someone right now,” Winifred thought, watching them leave. A wave of disappointment washed over her. She was just about to grab her painting when Ebert beat her to it. “Miss Winifred, MS said she loves your gift. She asked me to hang it in her room.”
Hearing that, Winifred’s anger melted. ‘She did notice,’ she thought, warmth flooding her chest.
Sienna prepared bowls of noodles for them.

Chapter 214
Sienna had already eaten, so she only made enough for the two of them.
“Thanks,” Winifred said, gazing at the bowl of noodles glistening with savory broth in front of her.
Even before taking a bite, warmth spread through her heart. The rising steam blurred her eyes, and for a moment, it felt like she was back in her childhood, when Sienna always made noodles for them.
“Take your time, you two,” Sienna said, ruffling their hair before heading upstairs to wash up.
Winifred sauntered over to Amber, who was slurping down her noodles and didn’t even notice Winifred coming.
In one swift motion, Winifred’s chopsticks swooped in – stealing every piece of chicken and drumstick from Amber’s bowl.
Amber blinked, stunned, staring at her empty bowl in disbelief.
