Chapter 261: Ophelia Warren’s Persona Collapses

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Ophelia Warren’s Persona Collapses

The moment Keith Sterling said, "It was Ophelia Warren who wanted to harm Sierra," he felt a dark, vicious aura pour out of Julian Forrester. The suffocating, overwhelming pressure was terrifying.

Keith Sterling gulped in fear and immediately looked up at Sienna Everett.

Sienna Everett’s face was unreadable as she continued to listen to the conversation between Ophelia Warren and Frank Lennon on the surveillance video—

"Frank Lennon, about that thing I asked you to do a few days ago, to teach Sienna Everett a lesson—what ended up happening?"

"I followed Sienna Everett into the restaurant. I was planning to lock her in the restroom and teach her a good lesson! But... Sienna Everett is too sharp. She knew something was wrong right away and kicked down the stall door!"

"Did Sienna Everett see you?"

"No, Ms. Warren, don’t worry. I destroyed the restaurant’s security cameras beforehand. Even if Sienna Everett checks the footage, she won’t be able to trace it to me, let alone you."

"Good. Be careful for the next few days. Even though Sienna Everett has been at the hospital recently, you need to be cautious. Don’t get caught, and don’t let me get dragged into this!"

"Okay, I’ll be careful!"

The conversation ended there.

Keith Sterling was practically exploding with rage after listening. His face filled with righteous indignation. "Is there something wrong with that Ophelia Warren?! Teach Sierra a lesson? Who does she think she is! And that Frank Lennon, he really listens to her. Ophelia Warren tells him to be careful, and he’s actually being careful! If I hadn’t been smart enough to secretly monitor him, it would’ve been tough to get any dirt on him!"

Keith Sterling looked at Sienna Everett, his eyes full of confusion. "Sierra, did you know Ophelia Warren before this?"

Sienna Everett shook her head. "No."

That made Keith Sterling even angrier. ’They don’t even know each other, and she’s targeting Sierra like this? That Ophelia Warren is completely nuts!’

’Is she jealous of Sienna Everett or something?!’

Julian Forrester’s eyes were as cold as a frozen lake, unreadable emotions swirling in their depths.

’This Ophelia Warren... there’s something wrong with her.’

Julian Forrester turned his head to Samuel Sutton and ordered in a cold, deliberate voice, "Have someone tail Ophelia Warren. Don’t let her out of your sight. Dig up everything you can on her."

"Yes, Mr. Forrester!"

Samuel Sutton was on high alert. Not daring to delay for a second, he immediately went out to give the orders.

’After all, this involved Miss Everett, and that was crossing Mr. Forrester’s ultimate line.’

After giving his orders, Julian Forrester looked at Sienna Everett, his expression softening. "I know you can handle this on your own, but your safety is involved. I can’t be careless."

’Ophelia Warren wanted to hurt Sienna Everett. She couldn’t just get away with it. She would have to pay the price.’

Sienna Everett’s heart skipped a beat. She strode over, sat down next to Julian Forrester, and took his hand. ’Wow, his hand feels amazing,’ she thought, and couldn’t resist giving it a couple of playful strokes. "Of course, I understand. You’re protecting me."

She paused, blinked, and gave him a meaningful look. "You’re helping me out... so once Keith Sterling leaves, I’ll thank you properly!"

Keith Sterling saw this and was just like: ???

’What does she mean, "once he leaves"?’

’Am I an eyesore? A third wheel?!’

’And Sierra’s hand! What’s with all the flirting?!’

’Can someone please tell me what the hell happened between my brother and Sierra this morning?!’

Sienna Everett finished speaking and turned her head to see Keith Sterling right beside her. "Why are you still here?"

Keith Sterling: "..."

’Heh, my heart is broken!’

’Shattered into a million pieces!!’

Keith Sterling glumly wiped away a bitter tear. "My dear brother and sister-in-law! I’m a whole living person standing right here! How can you just ignore me!"

Sienna Everett looked innocent. "I’m not ignoring you. I’m looking right at you."

Julian Forrester nodded, indicating that whatever Sienna said was right.

Keith Sterling: "..."

’Another day of him choosing his girl over his brother!’

Keith Sterling took a deep breath, determined to make his presence known despite being squeezed out. He pointed at the surveillance footage of Ophelia Warren and Frank Lennon on the computer.

"Bro, Sierra, what do you think? Should we leak this conversation and expose Ophelia Warren’s true colors? She always acts so gentle and talented in public. Heh, gentle my ass!"

Just then, Sienna Everett’s phone rang. It was a call from Stella Shaw. She swiped to answer.

"Hello, Stella."

"Sienna, are you and Ophelia Warren not on good terms?" Stella Shaw skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.

Sienna Everett was surprised. "Stella, how did you know?"

Stella Shaw was even more surprised. "Huh? You really don’t get along? What happened? When did this start?"

Sienna Everett’s expression was calm. "I only just found out that Ophelia Warren has been trying to sabotage me behind my back."

’Before, she had treated Ophelia Warren like any other person—they weren’t close, but she didn’t particularly dislike her either.’

’Only now did she know that the incident where she was locked in the restroom was connected to Ophelia Warren. It was Ophelia Warren who had been secretly plotting against her.’

On the other end of the line, Stella Shaw’s tone immediately grew serious.

"Ophelia Warren has been sabotaging you? Were you hurt? I thought she was a gentle and magnanimous person, but it seems that’s not the case... Sienna, there are rumors about you and Ophelia Warren online. You should go online and see what’s going on."

"Okay."

"By the way, I called you before, and you said you were at the hospital taking care of a family member. How are things now? Is your family member doing better?"

"Thanks for asking, Stella. He’s much better now!"

Sienna Everett exchanged a few more words with Stella Shaw before hanging up.

Beside her, Keith Sterling had already pulled out his phone. He looked at the trending topics and was speechless for a moment. "What the hell is this!"

Sienna Everett turned to look and saw that the hashtag #ExposedSiennaEverettActsLikeADivaTowardsOpheliaWarren was in the top ten trending topics.

’Her, acting like a diva towards Ophelia Warren?’

’What the hell?’

Speechless, Sienna Everett clicked on the trending topic. The first post was from a user on X claiming to be an industry insider:

[Y’all, I’ve been paying close attention to Sienna Everett and Ophelia Warren lately. You know how they kind of look alike? Well, I did some digging and, wow, I found a lot!]

[Did you know? Turns out Sienna Everett has always been hostile to Ophelia Warren!!]

[The last time they were on a variety show together, Ophelia Warren was in the guest lounge and very friendly, greeting Sienna Everett and Orion Hawthorne. But Sienna Everett completely ignored her! And Orion Hawthorne even snapped at Ophelia, "Are we close?" Isn’t that just blatant bullying?!]

[And at The Azure Art Exhibition, Ophelia Warren kept looking at Sienna Everett, wanting to go up and talk to her, but Sienna Everett didn’t even glance at her once. That’s so arrogant!]

[Tsk, you can tell from the way Sienna Everett fought back against the Everett Family that she’s not one to pull her punches. But Ophelia Warren is so gentle and kind, with a temper so good she never gets angry. I can only imagine how much bullying she must endure from Sienna Everett in private!]

This user had several hundred thousand followers.

Besides, Sienna Everett was already famous, so many people paid attention to her affairs. Add to that Ophelia Warren’s recent surge in popularity and the slight resemblance between them, and the X post quickly captured the attention of netizens as soon as it was published.

[??? Sienna Everett acted like a diva toward Ophelia Warren? For real?]

[OP, don’t just post text. You got any proof?!]

[I was at The Azure Art Exhibition! Ophelia Warren really was looking at Sienna Everett the whole time, and it looked like she really wanted to talk to her. But Sienna Everett was probably busy, so she didn’t seem to notice Ophelia.]

[Ophelia Warren fan here: Our Ophelia has always been gentle and good-tempered. If she has friction with someone, it’s definitely the other person’s fault!]

[All I know is our Ophelia is gentle and kind. As for Sienna Everett, all I can say is... heh.]

[I hope everyone stops comparing Sienna Everett to our Ophelia. Not just anyone is worthy of being compared to her, you know!]
