Afraid that his father would actually punish Sienna, he quickly silded, “It’s my fault. This has nothing to do with Siemus. I’ll take the punisdonent.”
This time, it was Elliot’s turn to chuckle in anger.
“Alright, very well. Taking responsiludity, are your Then go kisserl.”

Then he turned: Sienna. “Even though Cain has taken all the blame, your actions were well. While Gain kneels to tellect, you’ll stay lemur and ilu ilie same”
His real goal was to find an excuse to keep Sienna locked up at home, preventing her from stirring up trouble outside.
Is of relief. “I understand, Dad. Il stay home and reflect on my mistakes?
Lydia added coldly. “Your etiquette and manners are lacking. I’ll be hiring a tutor to retrain you in proper conduct
She was going to hire the strictest instructor in the circle–one who would make Sienna suffer.
Sienna hadn’t expected Lydia to take things this far,
The woman who once adored her now seemed cold and unrecognizable.
Her heart filled with resentment. The last thing she wanted was to take etiquette lessons.
But under someone else’s pool, she had no choice bait to submit
Lowering her head pitifully, she said, “Yes, I’ll follow Mom’s arrangement.”
Meanwhile, she was cursing Lydia in her heart. Maria mistreated her at will, while Lydia was just as ruthless beneath her gentle facade.
Maria was still better–she needed to find an opportunity to see her for some comfort
Elliot then ordered the butler to have someone keep an eye on Cain while he knelt outside.
After that, he helped Lydia upstairs to rest
Sienna turned to Leon and the others, her eyes red as she pleaded. “This is all ihy (ault. Leon, Joshua, Jamnar—once Dail calms down, please help plead for Cain. If he kneels all night, his legs won’t be able to take it.

He could see that Joshua arul Jamar still hadn’t completely woken up to reality.
Spenna, however, was utterly confused. Why was fron always targeting her lately!
Miting her lips she looked at him with a pititul expression “Leon, are you sull mad at me? If I’ve done something wrong, just tell me. I’ll change.”

Leon smiled faintly. “Tim not mad at you, and there’s no need to change. You must be tired from the flight–go get some rest.”
simma’knew his personality well. If she argued, it would only make him more annoyed,
So she obediently said, Thank you, Leon. I’ll go to my room now.
Lean then had Iyilia’s assistant escort her back to her room.
After that, he called Joshua and Jamar to the garden.
It wasn’t safe to talk inside the house
An open, unwatched space without surveillance cameras was much better.
Joshua and Jamar followed, both baffled.
What the hell did Leon rat today!
Jamar asked, “Leon, what’s this about?
Leon replied, “Just wanted to have a chat.
Joshua frowned. “What’s there to talk about?”
He still hadn’t forgiven Leon for tricking him into going on that variety show
Leon rolled his eyes. “Joshua, you’re still so impatient. I called you here for your own good–to share a big secret with you. If you’re not interested. you can leave.”
He took a sip of coffee and added, “But don’t blame me when things go south and you weren’t warned.
Hearing that the two who had been about to leave were suddenly intrigued.
Jamar said, “Leon, stop being mysterious and just spill it.”
Leon looked like he was about to drop something big-
He gestured for them to come closer. They leaned in.
Only then did Leon lower his voice and share what Phoebe had told him the other day.
Joshua and Jamar were completely stunned. “Is this real?”
Both of them found it hard to believe.
Leon raised an eyebrow. “You think Phoebe would lie about something like this? Think carefully–since Sienna came into our family, haven’t things been going suspiciously well for us? She was ridiculously lucky before, but that’s because she was stealing Phoebe’s luck.
“When Phoebe came back, Sienna kept trying to turn us against her, pushing us to distance ourselves. That was when Sienna’s luck skyrocketed.
“Then, when Phoebe finally cut ties with us and became famous on that variety show, Sienna’s luck suddenly took a nosedive.
“That’s because their fates are linked–if Place is lucky, Sienna is weakened by the backlashı”
Jamai morted “What do you mean we made Phoebe cut ties! As if you weren’t involved?”
Joshua also chimed in. Exactly! We all played a part in that.”
Leon shot them a look. “Focus

Leon was the most ruthless among the brothers, which made him relatively
He said. “Let me ask you one thing–she spent all that time ‘worrying about Cain, but in the end, did he get his punishment lifted?”
He glanced at the two of them, his tone sharp. “Every time she cares about us, isn’t it just empty words? Who can’t pretend to be concerned and apologize! But does it actually change anything?
“Instead, Cain got so ‘moved by her act that he voluntarily took on all the blame and still had to kneel outside. Meanwhile, all she had to do was in her room and reflect No real consequences, no actual suffering. I told her to go back to her room and rest–and she actually did.”
Leon’s lips curled into a cold sneer. “If she really cared about Cain, even if she couldn’t kneel with him, she could’ve at least sat in a wheelchair outside to keep him company Did she? No. Forget sitting outside with him–she didn’t even bother to take a single look at him.
He glanced at the two of them again. “Is that the kind of care you need!”
Then his voice dropped slightly, but his words cut deeper.
“Now, think carefully–if this had happened back when Phoebe was still around, what would she have done?”
Back then, when he didn’t know Sienna’s true nature, he might have believed that her concern for Cain was genuine.
But now that he had seen through her facade, he realized just how fake her so–called “care” really was.
