Chapter 250: Chapter 250: The Truth

Javier Prescott had, of course, thought of the same thing as Ian Prescott.

The two men exchanged a look, both understanding the other’s unspoken thought: ’There might be something suspicious about the two DNA tests Sienna and the Prescott family had done. We have to investigate again!’

After a little over half an hour in the hospital room, Javier Prescott and Ian Prescott left.

Sienna Everett sat back down on the stool by the hospital bed and checked Julian Forrester’s injuries. The cuts from the chandelier fragments were already beginning to heal.

Keith Sterling also sat down by the bed. "Isn’t it time to change his dressings?"

Sienna Everett glanced at the time. "We still have another hour. No rush."

"Okay." Keith Sterling glanced at his brother on the bed, then at Sierra. He looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitant to bring it up.

"What is it?" Sienna asked, looking at him.

Keith looked like he was on the verge of speaking, but in the end, he just shook his head.

Her curiosity piqued, Sienna was about to press him for an answer when her phone buzzed with a message from Isabelle Sutton.

The message was in their three-person WhatsApp group chat with Isabelle Sutton and Orion Hawthorne.

Isabelle Sutton: [Sienna, you there? You there?]

Isabelle Sutton: [I wanted to ask you something. Has Lucas Everett tried to contact you recently?]

Sienna’s brow furrowed slightly as she read the message. She understood immediately.

Sienna Everett: [Did he go see you?]

Isabelle Sutton seemed troubled: [Yeah, he came to me yesterday. He said he knows he was wrong and is trying to get your forgiveness. He hoped I could also let go of the past, forgive him, and go back to how we used to be.]

Sienna thought for a moment before typing her question: [What do you think about it?]

Isabelle Sutton replied quickly: [I don’t want to get too involved with him right now. If you haven’t forgiven him, then I won’t either.]

’Isabelle and Lucas did have a pretty good history together,’ Sienna mused.

She typed her reply: [Isabelle, it really depends on how you feel. You don’t have to worry too much about me.]

Isabelle Sutton: [No way! Guys aren’t as important as my best friend!]

Isabelle Sutton: [Sienna, if I were you, I wouldn’t forgive a brother who hurt me that badly either. Does he think just saying "I was wrong" can easily erase everything he did in the past? It’s not that simple!]

Having a friend like Isabelle made Sienna truly appreciate the incomparable nature of their friendship.

Isabelle Sutton then sent a photo of a cat. [Found this stray on the street today. Soooo cute, had to share!]

Sienna zoomed in on the photo. It was a chubby orange tabby. [He is very cute.]

Suddenly, Orion Hawthorne popped up: [Ladies, can you two take this to a private chat?]

Isabelle Sutton replied instantly: [Nope, not gonna! Hmph! If you don’t like it, you can leave the group. (arms akimbo, looking smug.jpg)]

Orion Hawthorne: [...Aren’t you afraid I’ll see your private business?]

Isabelle Sutton: [What’s the big deal? I’m not scared at all! But speaking of private business, Orion, how are things going with that Yvette Garrison girl? (gossipy face.jpg)]

’Sienna had almost forgotten about Yvette Garrison. She was that pretty girl from the charity gala who’d taken an interest in Orion and wanted to pursue him.’

Orion seemed desperate to escape the topic: [Something came up, got to run.]

Sienna: "..."

Sienna chatted with Isabelle for a little longer. Just as she was about to put her phone down, a call came in from Evan Shelby.

Keith Sterling, who was sitting nearby, saw the name "Evan Shelby" on the screen and immediately tsked in disgust.

’How strange,’ Sienna thought, glancing at him. ’Those two can never get along. They’re always bickering.’

Keith immediately gestured. "Sierra, put it on speaker."

Sienna answered the call and, as requested, put it on speakerphone.

Evan Shelby’s smiling voice came from the other end of the line. "Sweet—"

Before he could finish the word, Keith, ever protective of his brother, mercilessly cut in. "Sweet, my ass!"

’He knew it. That bastard Evan Shelby was incapable of saying anything decent!’

’That’s why he’d told Sierra to put the call on speaker. And just as he’d expected, there he was, calling her by some ridiculous name again!’

Hearing Keith Sterling’s voice, Evan Shelby paused for a second on the other end. Then, a smile lit up his sapphire eyes. "Well hello, darling. You’re there too."

Keith’s face darkened. "Up yours!"

Sienna, her head starting to ache, cut off their bickering and asked Evan, "What did you call for?"

Evan shamelessly ordered her around. "I’m at the airport. Just landed, and I didn’t bring any assistants. Come pick me up, will you?"

Sienna was stunned. "You’re in Celestria? You’re the head of G.Y. Shouldn’t you be at headquarters instead of running all over the place?"

"Sienna Everett, you have the gall to say that to me!" Evan immediately grew agitated. "Is G.Y. my company alone? What about you?! You just up and left, dumping everything on me! I’ve been worked to the bone!"

"Calm down!" Sienna interrupted hastily. "Fine, just tell me. Why are you in Celestria?"

"Just come get me at the airport. I have some major news for you!"

"What news?" Keith cut in, trying to negotiate. "Tell us the news first, then we’ll go get you."

"Tsk, darling, that’s taking advantage of me," Evan chuckled.

"If you don’t tell us, no one’s coming to get you!" Keith threatened.

"Alright, fine." Evan sighed and then said in a conspiratorial tone, "I got some intel. Shannon Everett is secretly selling off shares of the Everett Corporation behind Morgan Everett’s back." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Hearing this, Sienna’s gaze sharpened.

’Shannon is trying to secretly sell the family’s shares? And behind Morgan Everett’s back?’
