Sienna said , “ Alright , let me know if anything comes up . You may go now . Amber will be apologizing to you . ”
Vivian nodded and followed Sienn
Amber glared at Vivian behind Sienna , her eyes flashing with displeasure
Jocelyn began , “ Hey , Sienna , Vivian . Amber and I were just talking about you . Sienna , you just got back , right ? You probably don’t know much about Amber yet
“ Let me fill you in . By the way , what were you doing abroad? Theard you look over Hart Corporation , Does Dad know about that ? ”
Jocelyn’s smile never reached her eyes , is a word , it was utterly fake
“ Jocelyn , I know my sister better than anyone . I owe you no explanation , ” Sienna said , her tone cold .
Jocelyn’s smile froze instantly . She looked at Siena and said , “ Sienna , I know you dislike me . You must think my mother came between your parents and took your father away .
“ But they’re truly in love . They’ve been together for ten years , and their bond is deep . I do hope we can be family . Don’t you agree ! ”
Sienna shot her a cold look and warned bluntly , “ Don’t make me slap you . ”
Jocelyn froze under Sienna’s razor – sharp gaze . An involuntary shiver can down her spine as primal dread took hold . “ Bitch , how dare she threaten me , she wondered
Amber remained silent . Jocelyn shot her a piercing glare , urging her to stand up for her , but Amber just pretended not to notice and kept her mouth shut .
Jocelyn gave a hollow smile , her jaw clenched as she glared daggers at Amber . “ Amber , I know I’ve always been an outsider in your hearts , but the truth is , I genuinely care about you . I really do see you as my sister .”
Amber suddenly snapped back to attention , nodded earnestly , and said , “ Don’t you dare bully Jocelyn . ”
Amber’s indifferent tone made Jocelyn’s already ashen face contort hideously with rage , transforming into something barely recognizable .
“ How could she be so indifferent ? After all that talk about me being her one and only sister , Jocelyn wondered .
Vivian shot Amber a contemptuous look and retorted , “ That’s utterly ridiculous . Did we bully her ? Sha’s blabbering nonsense nonstop . If she doesn’t want to stay here , she can get the hell out ”
Amber took a step forward , her eyes blazing with fury as she squared off against Vivian Sparks flew between them , the tension crackling in the air .
Jocelyn was still fuming over what Vivian had said earlier , but now , seeing Vivian and Amber about to argue , she was practically giddy with excitement . Forcing back a smirk , she shot a triumphant glance at Sienna .
Sienna didn’t even spare Jocelyn a glance , her expression icy and detached .
Amber’s face flushed crimson with rage as she shouted at Vivian , “ This is my home too . How dare you tell me to leave ? Didn’t you wear up and down you’d never come back ?
“ What gives you the right to show your face here again ? You’re the most shameless woman I’ve ever seen ”
Vivian’s throat lightened , and she was at a complete loss for words . She really had said that back when Aiden had slapped her ,
Seeing Vivian at a loss for words , Amber lifted her chin proudly . “ Vivian ? I don’t even see her as competition , she thought with disdain .
The two were at daggers drawn , and from the looks of it , their argument was about to escalate . ‘ It’d be even better if they came to blows , Jocelyn

thought , thrilled to the core .
Jocelyn said with frighed concern , “ Amber , don’t light because of me , Freally don’t want to ruin your bond . After am just an outsider . You are the real family , bound by bloed ”
Amber snapped bock , “ Family ? Withher ? Never, Vivian , will never admit that you my sister ”
Vivian , refusing to back down , shot back , “ Amber , you think I actually thie about being family with you ? I’d never accept you as my sister . Dream on
Sienna could tell Vivian and Amber didn’t get along , but she never expected things to get this toric between them .
Jocelyn stood by , practically itching to clap and egg them on With every word , she stirred the pot and fanned the flames .
“ Enough of that , Amber , remember what you promised me ? ” Sienna cut in .
Amber , still seething , froze when she saw Sienna . Vivian snorted disdainfully , shouldered past Amber , and plopped down next to Sienna , clutching her arm . Her eyes brimmed with grievance
“ I don’t give a damn about her apology , Sienna , Amber doesn’t care
e about our family , right ? Then just kick them out . ” Vivian said
Amber gritted her teeth and planted her hands on her hips , fuming . Yet her adorably pouty look made Sienna’s her
“ Vivian , spare me the act . This is my home too . You once said you didn’t care and would never come back . You’re a shameless and despicable person ,
sand Amber .
Amber met Sienna’s gaze , suddenly remembering she had promised to take her out for fun this weekend .
Amber crossed her arms over her chest , chin held high , and declared with unmistakable pride , “ Vivian , I take responsibility for what I do . I was wrong to Insult you . I apologize . Sorry , alright ? ”
Amber’s sudden apology left both Jocelyn and Vivian completely stunned .
Jocelyn could hardly believe it , wondering Amber actually apologized to Vivian ? Weren’t they just at each other’s throats , ready to fight a moment ago ? And now she’s apologizing , just like that ? What the hell ? This can’t be happening ”
Vivian stared at Amber in disbelief , wide – eyed and blinking . Did I hear that right ? ‘ she wondered . “ Did Amber really just apologize to me ? This is absolutely insane . Pigs might fly
Vivian and Amber used to fight so often they’d end up with bruised faces , yet neither would back down
Sienna said gently , “ Vivian , Amber has already apologined to you .”
Vivian flashed a toothy grin at Sienna , not wanting to upset her , “ Sienna , I heard her . Apologizing is no big deal . I’ll be the bigger person and forgive her , considering she’s so little and short . ”
Amber’s temper flared up again instantly . “ Vivian , who are you calling short and tiny , huh ? If apologizing is so easy, then let’s see you say sorry to me , you coward . ”
“ Fine then . Sorry , 3
sorry – t
there , I said it twice . Happy now ? ” Vivian sprang to her feet . She arched an eyebrow , her expression radiating smug defiance .
Not to be outdone , Amber shot her a defiant glace , Who can’t say sorry ? Sorry , sorry , sorry – see ? Easy as that . ”
Jocelyn stared in stunned silence , her mind going completely blank as she watched the scene unfold . No. This isn’t how it’s them , she wondered .
ed to be between
“ Amber , I’m not feeling well . Could you help me back to my Amber stay here
my room ? ” Jocelyn said her voice soft and weak , trying to get Amber away . She couldn’t let
Sienna’s acting was strange , with just a word , she might help Vivian and Amber patch things up .
