Chapter 290
Sienna never thought Raylan would see through everything. She had practically begged him to keep quiet, but he still went ahead and said it in
front of everyTHIC.
Her blood bosled. It felt like everyone connected to Phoebe was out to
@get
her.
Phoebe must have been hadmouthing her behind her back.
Raylan and Phoebe were senior and junior, there was no way this was their first time meeting. No way he’d just decide to throw her under the bus unless there WAS A TEASDIS
Sienna refused to believe he was just telling the truth. She was panicking, trying to figure out her next move, when Cain’s voice cur through her thoughts.
He walk
willing to believe her. Relief hit her like a wave, and she immediately
ly put on her best shocked, innocent expression.
She said. “Cam, I swear I had no idea this would happen. My friend never told me anything like that. You’ve seen me wearing this bracelet all the time
Teven felt pain all over my body because of it, but I thought that meant it was working, so I gave it to you. If I knew it was dangerous, why would I wear it every day**
Cain hesitated. That actually sounded reasonable. He had seen Sienna wearing that bracelet
If she knew about the rebound effect, she wouldn’t have kept wearing it for so long
That thought gave him an excuse, something to hold onto so he didn’t have to feel like an idiot.
His expression darkened. “Who told you this? Once the show is over, we’re going after them. They must have tricked you”
The room fell silent. Everyone looked at him like he was the dumbest person alive.
Jamar sighed. Cain had definitely been played, but instead of admitting it, he was bending over backward to let Sienna off the hook.
Maddox shook his head. “I don’t know if she got tricked, but you sure did. And now you’re just lying to yourselfTM
Cain’s jaw clenched as he shot Maddox a glare. “So what? That’s my business. What’s it got to do
o with you?”
Maddox just raised his hands. “Nothing at all. If you wanna keep being a fool, be my guest.”
Il Cam refused to face reality, then he deserved whatever was coming his way.
Phoebe took a sip of her coffee and said, “You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.”
Cain was a perfect example of that. He would rather fool himself than accept that he’d been tricked, especially by the sister he had spoiled for over tell years.
Then again, maybe he just hadn’t suffered enough yet.
Sienna frit suffocated. She turned to Phorbe, her voice sharp. “You don’t have to stir things up between me and Cain. I know you’ve always been batter that my brothers care about me mote.
“Tur Cain has been with me for over a decade, he knows I wouldn’t hurt himel was tricked tool Why would I joke about borrowing his luck! Why would I stand by and let him sulfer?”
Slr want just defeipling lierself, she was trying to clear her name.
Phoebe raised an eyebrow. “Horrowing luck isn’t just some joke. If someone agrees to it, it actually
qually works. Otherwise, anyone could just say they were kidding while leeching off their family and fricials. That would be a disaster, wouldn’t it?
cluck!”
“Sociell me, do you really think that excuse makes you look innocent? Their’s only one food sitting
Con felt like she might as well!
|| have just painted straight at him. After a moment, he hesitated. “So there are actual rules for borrowing!
That day, he had thonglat Sarnia was just messing around
And hourly,
if it had been real, he wouldn’t have cared. She was his sister, and if she needed a little lock, no big deal.
What he hadn’t known was that it would make him this unlucky. If he had to choose again, no way would be agree to it.

However, from what Phoebe was saying, hick transfer wasn’t as simple as he thought.
Phoebe let out a dry chuckle. “What do you think? Try borrowing some luck from someone else and see if it works.”
Cain was starting to believe her, at least a little, but he still wasn’t ready to accept it.
So, he turned to Jamar. Jamar, lend me some of your luck?”
Jamar just stared at him. “Cain, de 1 look like an idiot to you!”
This jerk, had already stolen his talisman once. Not only had it screwed up his luck for days, but it had also cost him 15 million dollars.
Cain crossed his arms. “Didn’t Phoebe say it won’t work without certain conditions! I just want to test it out”
He needed to know if Sienna had played him
Jamar could tell exactly what was going through his head. He’d been there himself not wanting to believe Sienna had screwed him over.
He turned to Phoebe. “Can he actually try?”
No way he was agreeing to this without making sure first. If Cain could take his luck, that was a hard no.
Phoebe wasn’t like Sienna, she never lied. If she said something worked, it did. If it didn’t, she wouldn’t pretend otherwise
She nodded. There’s no condition between you two for luck borrowing. Do whatever you want.”
Then she turned to Cain. Take off the bracelet and walk a few steps. After that, try borrowing Jamar’s luck.”
Cain frowned. “Why do I have to walk first?”
Phoebe shot him a look. “Why are you asking so many damn questions? Do you wanna try this or not?”
Cain sighed. “Alright, alright. I’ll do it”
Sienna panicked. She couldn’t let Cain go through with this, if he did, she would be exposed.
She had to stop him. Just as Cain reached for the bracelet, an idea hit her.
Her face was already pale from anxiety, so she lifted a hand to her forehead, swaying slightly. Then, just as she stood up, the collapsed. Or at least, that was the plan.
But before she could even make a move, a lazy voice cut în. “Sienna, are you seriously trying
stop Cain by pretending to faint?”
Maddox had been watching her the whole time and wasn’t about to let her nihi Phoebe’s plan.
For the first time in her life, Sienna wanted to cuss him out. She wanted to cry out of pure frustration. This man always had it out for her.
This was straight–up harassment, and now, her whole plan was ruined.
Claring at him, she snapped, “I wasn’t!”
Her eyes burned as she practically growled, “Why do you always take Phoebe’s side e and gang up on me? What the hell did I ever do to you?
Maddox shrugged. “Relax, I was
as just making a comment. No need to get so defensive,”
Phoche smirked. “Guess she’s feeling guilty again.”
She had seen night through Sienna’s little act. Maddox really had a talent for spotting bullshit. Not bad at all.
pon me. I can’t fight all of you”
Sienna bit her lip, her voice trembling with frustration. “You guys are ganging up on
Phoebe let out a slow, amused sigh. “Then don’t tight. Just sit back and wait for the results”
The message was clear, whether they were bullying her or not, the truth would speak for itself soon.
Cain, now even more determined, looked straight at Sienna. “Come on, Sienna. We’ve got nothing to hide, let’s pse them wrong. What’s there to
Sienna didn’t say a word. She just wished she could shut him up ri
