Sienna had been waiting for Lydia to ask. She sighed and said, “Mom, just look at the Instagram, you’ll understand
Lydia was puzzled. She picked up her phone and opened Instagram. After seeing yesterday’s posts, she couldnt anything unusual. “There’s nothing wrong with the posts on Instagrain!”
As soon as Sienna heard this, she realized that those three troublemaking brothers must have set their Instagram gets to he private from Lydia. Her expression darkened, clearly frustrated and at a loss for words. “Well.”
The more Sienna acted like this, the more curious Lydia became. “Give me your phone and let me see, she insisted.
Sienna felt pleased inside but put on a conflicted expression on the outside, Lydia furrowed her brows and asked. “Siente, there something I can’t see?”
Lydia’s tone made it clear that she was not happy. Sienna finally showed a helpless expression and handed the phone to her The screen displayed the Instagram posts from the three brothers.
After seeing the content on Instagram, Lydia’s face immediately darkened, filled with rage. Her eyes were burning with as she muttered, “These three ungrateful sons, these good–for–nothing troublemakers. Didn’t they all claim to be busy w work? And now they’ve gone to follow Phoebe to some tourist spot?
“They asked to come and have a meal with their dear mother, yet they claimed they were either working on new songs or joining a film shoot. Is this what ‘recording a song and joining a film shoot‘ really mean? And to top it off, they delibercely made their posts invisible to me!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, unable to hold back her words. These wretched children, these ungrateful wretches…”
Lydia struggled to accept the situation. Instead of spending time with her, her sons had found excuses to avoid her, only to run off and seek out Phoebe, who had shown them nothing but coldness. After all, she was their birth mother.
Hearing his mother’s harsh words, Ollie couldn’t help but feel amused. He thought, ‘How can she talk like that to her sons Unable to stay silent, he finally said, “Mam calm down. They probably didn’t mean it. I’ll talk to them. Genting this worked up isn’t good for your health, you…
Before Ollie could finish, Lydia turned her anger on him “You’re defending them? Do you want to be as ungrateful as they are? And you’re talking about ‘getting worked up is bad for my health? They don’t make me angry. I’d be crazy if I didn’t ye at them. Are you hoping I get sick and end up in the hospital?”
Lydia had been holding in her frustration for a while, and now that she had a chance, she let it all out. Seeing her eldest son in front of her, she couldn’t help but vent, “You….”
Ollie was stunned by Lydia’s outpouring of anger. After an hour of being berated, Lydia finally stopped, exhausted. She dismissed him coldly, telling him to leave because seeing him irritated her.
Ollie had been on the edge for a while but had been holding back, understanding his mother’s mood. It was oddly relieving when she finally told him to leave; it almost felt like a blessing.
Without hesitation, he quickly left. At the same time, he realized the true intentions behind his brothers‘ actions and now fully understood what it meant to deal with a problematic “queen” at home.
Lately, he had been swamped with work at the company, but Lydia insisted that he return home daily to have dinner with her. She would cry if he tried to refuse and say she only had him to rely on, just wanting to see him..
He had no choice but to oblige, spending time with her at dinner before rushing back to the company for more overtime. leaving him utterly exhausted.
Now, even when he tried to offer a simple word of advice, just hoping Lydia wouldn’t get too upset and harm her health, he

wouldn’t have thought the wrath would shift onto him. It was just too much for him to handle
After Ollie left, Lydia was still fuming with anger, Sienna seized the opportunity to stir the pot, welving Lydia the needed mudge. Lydia then began calling her three sons individually, giving each a harsh scolding
The three immediately silenced their phones and tossed them aside. After Lydia finished scolding them,
response from the other side, and she quickly guessed what they had done.
Fuming and feeling dizzy, Lydia had to rely on Sienna to help her back to her room. At this rate, her rebellious sons were going to drive her to the hospital. Once in her room, she couldn’t hold back and called Elliot to complain, finding the perfect excuse to ease herself out of the situation.
To her surprise, instead of comforting her, Elliot told her that she was asking for trouble. He pointed out that her sons acted the way they did because of how she had scolded them. However, he did express some relief, saying that at least they had made up with Phoche, suggesting the relationship might be improving.
Fuming. Lydia also scolded Elliot before hanging up the phone. Shortly after, Sienna entered, carefully timing her entrance and soothing Lydia with kind words. Once she calmed her down, she again seized the opportunity to ask for money.
Still feeling dizzy with anger, Lydia didn’t question Sienna about needing so much money. She was too upset, feeling that everyone in the family, except Sienna, was against her and didn’t care about her.
So, she handed Sienna a card with several hundred thousand dollars inside. After leaving, Sienna kept her smile in check slipping back into her habit of complaining under her breath.
The three brothers were utterly unfazed by Lydia’s wrath. They had already accepted whatever consequences awaited them from her. Despite their efforts to hide it, they also suspected that Lydia still found out about the situation because Sienna had probably reported them and stirred things up behind the scenes.
They had previously blocked Sienna. However, they had no idea how she managed to convince Lydia. During the past few days, Lydia insisted they unblock Sienna whenever they were at the dinner table. She kept watching them, and they knew they would be scolded again if they didn’t comply.
They figured that being friends again wasn’t a big deal. After all, Sienna couldn’t possibly harm them through their phones. So, they decided to restore the friendship and remove her from the blocklist.
They couldn’t be bothered to block her again, especially since they planned to post on Instagram and show off, which would drive Sienna crazy.
If she had the energy to keep running to Lydia to report them, let her. If Lydia didn’t recognize them, it would actually save them trouble when they returned to Solara City.
Phoebe pulled up the video from her email and quickly skimmed through it. She took screenshots of Sienna’s subtle glances, little gestures, and snide comments and saved them separately. She planned to send them to Lydia later, showing her what Sienna was like.
The next day, Phoebe and her group drove to Derood Summit for a trip, bringing camping gear to stay overnight. She noticed the person following them stopped at the mountain’s base and left.
The person had been quietly following them since the start of their trip. A distinct aura of positive energy surrounded them, indicating they were likely an underling of the one behind the plot.
It didn’t seem like they were suspicious of her purpose for going out. She speculated that the person was tracking them mainly to figure out where it would be most convenient to make their move.
The Voodoo Warlock might be preparing to make a move. However, she wasn’t concerned. Now that she had entered the Ascendance Realm, dealing with the warlock would be easy.
