Chapter 375
โVivian, trust me on this. Letโs put our money on this one,โ Nathan said with confidence.
Vivianโs expression grew serious. โBut this companyโs been losing money for three years in a row. Are you really sure about this?โ
Nathan picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth, then tossed one into his own. โNeed me to break it down for you?โ
Vivianโs eyes sparkled. โMr. Winslow, go ahead.โ
Meanwhile, Alex noticed that Mr. Grantโs mood had been as unpredictable as the weather lately, swinging from sunshine to storm in the blink of an eye. One second he was fine, the next he was snapping at people for no reason.
Is he having a midlife crisis or something? Alex wondered. But heโs not even that old yet, is he?
โMr. Grant, the Quinn family is hosting a party tonight, and Miss Amber might show up,โ Alex said carefully.
Hudson sat there with a frosty look, eyes closed, but the moment he heard that, his eyes flew open.
โDid I ask you? Where she goes has nothing to do with me.โ
Alex was speechless. Werenโt you the one who told me to check in the first place? Alex grumbled inwardly.
โIs Jaxon going to be there too?โ Hudson asked, his eyes narrowing coldly.
Alex replied honestly, โYes.โ
With a sharp smack, Hudson slapped the table and shot to his feet. โGet ready. The Quinn family invited us. If we donโt go, itโll make me look petty."
โYes, sir.โ Alex was speechless. Mr. Grant, isnโt this all just because of Miss Amber?
Meanwhile, at the Hart residence, the three sisters ate the meals Julian cooked for them every day. With him being so kind and showing no hostility at all, any little schemes or mischief they might have had just melted away.
Sienna took care of them, but no one ever took care of her.
โSienna, Iโve got something to take care of tonight, so I canโt keep you company,โ Julian said as he ladled her a bowl of soup.
โOkay,โ Sienna replied.
After dinner, Sienna lounged in the yard, basking in the sun while Lana updated her on the latest happenings at the various companies.
โMiss Enna, one more thing. Itโs about Miss Vivian. The company she and Nathan started is on a pretty good track right now. There are a few minor hiccups, though. Should I step in and handle them?โ Lana asked.
Sienna waved her off. โNo need. If they want to take a shot at it, let them go all out. They should have the chance to prove themselves.โ
โYes.โ
โHow are things going in Meridia?โ Sienna asked.
โEverythingโs normal. Thorn came back to the country today,โ Lana replied.
Siennaโs eyes flickered. โAlright. Amberโs heading to the Quinn family tonight. I wonโt be going. Go with her, and have Reno look into Hudsonโs background. I want all records from the past few years.โ
With that, Sienna closed her eyes, soaking up the sun, her breathing growing calm and steady.
Sienna had barely closed her eyes when Elisa came rushing in.
โMiss Sienna, Miss Sienna, thereโs a woman outside named Paige. She claims to be your fatherโs sister and wants to see you. Sheโs already been here several times,โ Elisa said, a little out of breath.
Sienna frowned. โPaige?โ
โYes.โ
โLet her in.โ
When Paige stepped into the Hart residence, she was immediately hit with the overwhelming scent of money. Everything was so lavish. The fish alone probably cost tens of thousands, and even the flowers were rare, expensive varieties.
She thought, Those clueless idiots whoโve been ignoring me for so long? Iโm going to make sure Sienna really puts them in their place. Especially the ones at her company who even had the nerve to treat me like a con artist and throw me out.
Fire them all.
โYou wanted to see me?โ A cool, distant voice rang out.
Paige spun around and saw a woman in white reclining on a lounge chair.
Sheโs gorgeous. Even more beautiful than Selina was back in her prime, Paige thought.
Sienna opened her eyes, and the sharp, icy look she gave was like a blade, making Paigeโs heart skip a beat in fear.
Paige gulped, panic flickering in her eyes.
โSienna, Iโm your aunt,โ Paige announced.
Sienna closed her eyes. โWhy are you here?โ
Despite her nerves, Paige pushed forward. She had to look out for herself, and honestly, she was actually here to help Sienna out.
โIโm a little strapped for cash right now, so why donโt you lend me some money? I know Hart Corporation is loaded, and Iโm not asking for much. Just thirty million."
โAnd hey, itโs not for nothing. Iโll even set you up with a guy. Heโs a manager at SIE Corporation, one of the big companies,โ Paige said.
