Chapter 2

Ultimately, it's still because I can't let go of the wealth behind my Grant family.

Lucas, who had the worst temper, clicked his tongue impatiently.

"You make it sound so nice, but you know perfectly well that the three of us are living under someone else's roof, just dogs kept by your Grant family. What right do you have to refuse us?"

Ethan looked at me with a grim expression: "If you want to choose, I will. I just hope you won't make things difficult for the two of them in the future."

Lucas and Caleb were deeply moved upon hearing this.

Looking at Ethan's expression of heroic sacrifice, I couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in my mouth.

Before I could say anything, Sienna suddenly appeared.

As soon as she saw me, she seemed startled and hid behind Ethan.

Ethan instinctively stepped in front of Sienna: "She didn't do anything wrong, just let her go today."

I looked at them quietly, and sure enough, the three people who were supposed to protect me were now standing in front of Sienna, as if afraid that I would bully her.

Five years ago, when Sienna first came to Grant Family, she gave me a hair clip.

I reciprocated with a bracelet worth 100,000 yuan as a gift.

But to my surprise, Ethan snatched the box away as soon as I opened it.

He angrily shouted, "You want to steal the things Sienna's mother left her?"

I looked at Sienna with a puzzled expression, wanting her to explain that she had given it to me voluntarily.

Unexpectedly, Sienna suddenly knelt down with tears streaming down her face: "It wasn't taken by you, Miss; I gave it to you willingly."

"The young lady is very kind to me and even gave me a bracelet. I really don't feel wronged."

She kowtowed repeatedly to me, a scene that brought tears to the eyes of the three of us, reminding us of our own predicament of living under someone else's roof.

They all questioned him righteously:

"Even if you are the heiress of the Grant family, you don't have the right to force others to give you their mother's belongings, do you?"

"Although the hair clip isn't worth much, its significance far surpasses that of this bracelet worth tens of thousands of dollars. You should return the hair clip to Sienna immediately!"

"He's as domineering as ever, only caring about his own happiness and not caring about the lives of others."

My expression immediately changed, but I thought there might be a misunderstanding, and I could find an opportunity to explain it away.

Suppressing his anger, he handed the hair clip to Sienna, but she didn't catch it properly when she reached out.

The hair clip shattered instantly, and she bit her lip, roaring at me:

"Since Miss would rather destroy it than return it to me, why bother putting on an act?"

Ethan, who had always disapproved of the poor being bullied, immediately threatened them with a cold face:

"Apologize to Sienna right now, or don't blame me for breaking off the engagement!"

At that time, I had already confessed my feelings to Ethan and said that I would marry no one but him.

Ethan used this as leverage to force me to submit to Sienna.

I was too young then to risk losing my lover and defending myself.

All I could do was lower my head and apologize with red eyes.

But this apology took a full five years.

From then on, whenever Sienna saw me, she would act like a mouse seeing a cat, either suddenly kneeling down or bursting into tears.

But I clearly didn't do anything...

I turned a cold look at Ethan:

"If you're really afraid I'll bully Sienna, then keep her tied to your belt at all times."

Despite the sarcastic tone, Ethan frowned and said:

"Are you threatening me? What do you intend to do to Sienna?"

Lucas clapped his hands and pointed at me, saying, "Could it be that the three of us gave the Sea of Stars to Sienna, and you're planning to use that as an excuse to bully her?"

Caleb looked at me coldly: "You have everything, but Sienna has never had anyone celebrate her birthday. It's just a Sea of Stars. Why bother making a fuss about it?"

My eyes turned cold: "Sea of Stars?"
