Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Is Your Brother Awake?

Upon seeing Ophelia Warren and Miles Everett, Wyatt Everett’s face immediately fell. ’What is Second Brother doing? Has he lost his mind?’

’Why is he still mixed up with Ophelia Warren?’

Ophelia, as if not noticing Wyatt’s sour expression, glided over. The concern and gentleness in her eyes were perfectly measured. "Sienna, what are you doing at the hospital? Are you not feeling well?"

Sienna Everett glanced at her, her tone distant. "No."

Seeing this, Miles Everett grew displeased. ’Ophelia has always wanted to be friends with Sienna. Why is Sienna’s attitude so cold?’

’Can’t she just be a little friendlier?’

Dustin Everett snorted and stepped forward, positioning himself between Sienna Everett and Ophelia Warren.

’This Ophelia Warren seems so fake,’ he thought. ’She’s not as gentle as she appears. I’d better keep her away from Sienna.’

’With me, her fifth brother, around, I won’t let anyone bully Sienna!’

Seeing Dustin Everett standing protectively in front of her, Sienna Everett was speechless. "..."

Ophelia, however, subtly sized up Sienna Everett.

Seeing that Sienna was completely unscathed, Ophelia’s fingers suddenly clenched into a fist, and her eyes grew cold.

’Julian Forrester really protected her well. He didn’t let her get hurt at all.’

Ophelia pursed her lips tightly. She was the one who had ordered someone to lock Sienna in the restroom and teach her a lesson; of course she knew what happened at the restaurant yesterday.

’Since Sienna wasn’t hurt, does that mean Julian... is he badly injured...?’

Ophelia’s fingers clenched again as she bit her lower lip in frustration. ’Why does he like Sienna Everett so much... Why...’

Just then, with a DING, the elevator finally arrived.

The elevator doors opened.

Sienna Everett, not wanting to face the Everetts any longer, was finally able to leave and prepared to take the elevator back to the 8th floor.

But when the doors opened, she saw Sheila Whitaker in a wheelchair, being pushed from behind by Morgan Everett. Shannon Everett stood beside the wheelchair, chatting and laughing with Sheila.

Sienna Everett: "..."

’Why is my luck so bad today?’

’How can I run into the Everetts everywhere I go?’

Morgan Everett pushed Sheila Whitaker out of the elevator. The moment he saw Sienna, his face darkened abruptly. "So you do know to come to the hospital to see your mother?! Decided to be a filial daughter now, have you?!"

Sheila Whitaker saw Sienna as well. One second she was laughing with Shannon, and the next, her brow furrowed. The affection in her eyes vanished completely, replaced by a tone full of blame:

"I told you to visit me before, and you refused to come no matter what. Now you show up? Get out. I won’t accept your visit!"

Sienna almost laughed out of anger. "You’re all as self-righteous as ever. Who said I was here to see you?"

"You!" Sheila gasped for breath, her face turning even uglier.

’How did I give birth to such an ill-mannered, uncultured daughter!’

A vein throbbed on Morgan Everett’s forehead as he roared with uncontrollable rage, "You brat! Who taught you to speak to your own parents like that! Do you have any respect as a child at all!"

"Dad!" Lucas Everett could no longer hold back. His face was cold as he warned, "Don’t forget, Sienna has already severed ties with the Everett Family. You have no right to demand anything from her now!"

"Exactly!" Dustin Everett piped up, not to be outdone. "When Sienna was still part of the Everett Family, I never saw you treat her well. Now you’re demanding she be filial? What kind of logic is that? Before you scold Sienna, think about yourselves. Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as parents?!"

Wyatt Everett didn’t speak, but his protective stance over Sienna was resolute.

Seeing his three sons standing against him, defending Sienna instead of their own father, Morgan Everett became livid. "You ungrateful wretches! Are you all trying to rebel?! Do you even remember that I’m your father!"

Wyatt Everett spoke coldly, "Dad, if you continue to treat Sienna this way, then this will be the last time I ever call you Dad."

Hearing this, Morgan Everett froze. His face then turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Wyatt, what do you mean by that!"

Even Miles Everett, who had been silent all this time, couldn’t help but frown.

Under everyone’s gaze, Wyatt Everett looked at Morgan Everett with calm eyes. "If you continue to curse at Sienna and maintain this vile attitude, then starting today, I, Wyatt Everett, will also sever all ties with the Everett Family and have nothing more to do with you!"

Every word was crystal clear.

Morgan Everett’s eyes widened in disbelief, his fingers trembling with rage. "You... you..."

A sharp pain shot through Sheila Whitaker’s heart. She clutched her chest, gasping for air.

"Wyatt!" Miles Everett’s face turned grim as he snapped, "Stop this nonsense!"

"Nonsense?" Wyatt sneered. "Second Brother, I’m just asking Dad and Mom to stop cursing at Sienna. Is such a simple request also considered nonsense?"

Miles was rendered speechless.

’That’s right,’ he thought. ’Just asking them not to curse Sienna Everett anymore.’

’Is that really too much to ask?’

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Sienna was momentarily stunned. ’He actually...’

Wyatt gave a bitter smile. "Sienna, after you left the Everett Family, I gradually came to understand many things. The people in this family... they aren’t as good as I thought. Sienna, don’t you have things to do? You should go."

Sienna gave him a deep look, then ignored the fuming Morgan and Sheila and stepped into the elevator.

Morgan reached out to grab Sienna.

Wyatt raised an arm, coldly blocking him.

Sienna entered the elevator. As the doors slowly closed, she reached out and pressed the button for the 8th floor.

Outside the elevator.

Morgan Everett glared at Wyatt, his brow furrowed tightly. "Wyatt, are you really going to protect..."

"Dad," Wyatt interrupted in a cold voice, "what I said just now wasn’t nonsense, nor was it a joke."

He then looked at Sheila. "Mom, I hope you remember that as well."

With that said, Wyatt turned and walked away.

Dustin and Lucas exchanged a glance and quickly followed him.

Their actions made it clear they shared their third brother’s stance.

Shannon Everett watched this scene, utterly dumbfounded.

’She knew her three brothers’ attitudes toward Sienna had changed, but she never imagined they would be willing to break with the Everett Family for her...’

’That bitch Sienna, what right does she have!’

Ophelia Warren hadn’t said a word from beginning to end. Only now did she speak to Miles. "Mr. Everett, it seems you have some family matters to handle. I’ll take my leave for now."

Miles nodded. ’Ophelia is always so considerate,’ he thought.

After Ophelia walked away.

Miles looked at Morgan and Sheila and tried to console them. "Dad, Mom, don’t be angry. Wyatt was probably just speaking in the heat of the moment. Once he calms down, he’ll realize he was wrong."

Morgan’s face was filled with disappointment. "It must have been that damn girl Sienna who instigated them! Forget about Wyatt. Miles, when are you coming back to help with the company?"

Miles was silent for a moment. "Dad, I’m not interested in managing the company."

Shannon’s heart leaped with joy. She seized the opportunity to persuade him, "Dad, Second Brother has always been indifferent to fame and fortune. You shouldn’t force him. It’s fine now that I’m here to help with the company. I’ll do my best to help you revitalize the Everett Family!"

Morgan knew his second son’s personality, so he could only nod in agreement.

Sheila was very gratified. "Shannon, your work at the company is related to finance, which is tiring and difficult, yet you never complain. It must be so hard on you."

"Mom, it’s what I should do. I’m a part of the Everett Family, too!"

"Shannon works so hard, and she’s never made a mistake." Morgan trusted this daughter he had raised since childhood. "How about this: I’ll give you some of my shares to help you establish a firm footing in the company as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, Dad! I’ll keep working hard!"

Shannon smiled sweetly, but a chilling glint flashed in the depths of her eyes.

’Her position in finance is perfect for her plans. She had already begun secretly transferring the Everett Family’s assets.’

’In less than a month, she could swallow up most of the family’s assets.’

’By then, she would be free of these burdens from the Everett Family and would no longer have to bow and scrape before them!’

「...」

Sienna returned to the 8th floor. The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Keith Sterling in the hallway.

"Sierra! Where did you go? Why are you only just getting back!"

"I ran into a few people downstairs. What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Sienna asked, seeing his frantic expression. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "Did your brother wake up?"
