Chapter 228
That night, Joshua and Jamar pleaded with Elliot.
First, they did feel a bit sorry for Cain—after all, if he kept kneeling like that, he might injure his legs and be unable to participate in the variety
Second, they wanted to test Sienna
However, not only did Elliot refuse their pleas, but bei
but he also gave them a harsh soldang
worse, he even ordered them to go outside and kneel alongside Cam
To make matters wors
Joshua and Jamur wanted to cry
They had only tried to plead on someone else’s behalf–who knew they’d end up getting punished toor
The two of them turned to Sie in unban
Sienna hadn’t expected Elliot to be this angry this time. Even those who tried to plead for mercy gor dragged into the punishment.
khe had always been a little afraid of Elliot, and now, she was even more reluctant to speak up
She didn’t want to risk angering him and making him dislike her. After all, he was the head of the household, and she still needed to stay on his good side
So, all she could do was give Joshua and Jamar a helpless, apologetic look.
At that moment, Joshua and Jamar completely gave up on her.
Leon was right–Sienna was all talk and nothing else.
Under the butler’s supervision, the two of them went outside to kneel as punishment
Cain had already been kneeling so long that his legs barely felt like his own anymore.
Seeing the other two join him, he couldn’t help but gloat. “You guys got punished too? Serves you right.”
Joshua snapped. “We got dragged into this because of you! We just pleaded with Dad on your behalf, and not only did we get scolded, but we
ended up getting punished!”
Jamar added. “Exactly! And you still have the nerve to laughe This is all your fault,”
Cain was genuinely surprised.
He hadn’t expected these two to suddenly show some brotherly loyalty. How rare.
He chuckled and said, “Well, then keep me company while kneeling. I was about to break down doing this alone”
Joshua arad Jamar were speechless. They shouldn’t have sympathized with this guy.
The three of them chatted while kneeling.
Although Josina and Janu

That was the hnal straw for Joslina aral jamnar.
They gave up un trying to talk sense into häm
They had already warned him–if he refined in listers, then he had no one but himself to blame when he suffered later
The three of thens weren’t given dinner.
Chapter 228
By nightfall, they were starving, and their legs were completely numb from kneeling.
But with the guands keeping watch, if they Hied to stand up and move animal, they were immediately forced back down
joshina and junar deeply regretted getting involved
Close to mbbght, Sienna arrived, carrying a tray of food.
Cam was deeply insted
But before she could get close, a bonly bodyguard stopped her. “Mr. Jenkins ordered that they are not to be given food”
Simma tried to sweet–talk him into bending the rules, but the bodyguard was unmoved.
She had chose in to put on a helpless expression and look at the three of them with pity “Joshua, Cain, Jamar, I really want to help you, but -Thad wont allow it. There’s nothing bean do”
she didn’t actually care whether they got to cal
She was just here to put on a show–to make sure they saw how much she “cared about them.
Then, she suddenly said. “Til stay and keep your company”
Given how much ber brothers doted on her, they definitely wouldn’t let her suffer here with them, especially since she had deliberately worn a thin silk nighteo
It was chilly, and the wind was picking up.
Sure enough, Cain immediately protested, “It’s okay, Dad is just being too harsh. It’s getting cold, and you’re still recovering. Go back to your room and rest
Sienna, however, shook her head. “No, I want to stay with you
Joshua smirked and said, “Sienna has such a kind heart, Cain. How could you reject her?”
Jamar chimed in, “Yeah, since Sienna wants to stay with us, we should let her. That way, she’ll feel better about it. Cain, how could you be so heartless and deny her such a simple reques!”
Sanna’s smile stiffened.
What was wrong with these two!
Were they actually taking her words seriously?
Still, she kept up her art and gave a gente, caring i

After all, how could her brodhen not cherish her when she was willing to suffer in the cold just to be with them!

– Sarmina gently ussissed that she didn’t mind the cold.
Joshua and Jamar need sent the whole time, watching the act unfold

But now? It was obvious she had only come out to put on a slum.

Chapter 228
If she truly wanted to keep them company, why would the wear something so thin?
And why emphasize that she wasn’t cold? She just wanted them to feel had for her and send her back inside
Seeing Cain’s touched expression made them cringe
But they couldn’t be bothered to say anything
After kneeling all night, their legs were completely numbi
At dawn, the bader had them carried back to their rooms, where a family doctor treated them
Later, Sienna made a show of visiting them, even offering to massage their legs.
Cun refused, not wanting her to overwork hersell
Joshua and
Jamar, on the other hand, refused because they didn’t trust her.
Several days later, they were finally able to walk downstairs for meals again
That day, Lydia and Elliot attended an important business banquet, and Ollie, as the heir, went with them.
That left only the four brothers and Sienna at home.
After dinner, Sienna suggested they have coffee in the living r
room.
They chatted for a bit, and then Sienna got up–limping on one leg–to pour coffee for the four of them
Then, suddenly, she “lost her balance” and fell toward the sofa.
Cain immediately rushed forward to catch her. The other three? They all moved out of the way.
Cain held Sienna steady and scolded her, “Sienna, you don’t need to serve us. Just sit down and rest”
Sienna apologized sofily, Tm so useless.”
She was annoyed that the other three didn’t try to catch her.
Since they were heartless, she wouldn’t be kind either.
Then, with a pitiful sigh, she began complaining about how unlucky she had been lately.
Cain sat beside her, comforting her.
Leon, Lowever, felt like she was setting something up.
And sure enough, the moment he spoke to console her, she turned to him and said, “Since I’ve been so unlucky lately, Leon, why don’t you share some of your luck with mỗ
He was the coldestwoward hier–so she’d target him first.
