Reece’s expression grew even darker. He looked up, his gaze heavy as he said. “I will say this one last time. I did not betray Phoebe. Stop talking
Reece felt a bit panicked inside as he wondered. Even Jamar misunderstands the situation online, thinking there is an affair between me and Sienna. What would Phoebe think when she saw this?‘
Sienna hurriedly grabbed Jamar’s arm “Jamar, don’t say that about Reece.”
“It’s all Phoebe’s fault. Why can’t 1 Jamar see through this and stop blaming Reece? she thought.
For the first time, Jamar shook off Sienna’s grasp. Disappointment flickered in his eyes. “Sienna, you know he’s Phoebe’s boyfriend. Why are you being so ambiguous with him? You’re being unreasonable too.
Jamar had always spoiled Sienna, treating her like the little sister they all cherished.
Phoebe had returned, constantly competing with Sienna, making Sienna sick several times and nearly driving Sienna away from the Jenkins family That was why Jamar was angry with Phoebe, protecting Sienna from her bullying.
But that didn’t mean Jamar didn’t care about Phoebe, his biological sister. He felt a lingering guilt for her, especially since he had lost her when they were children due to his careless play.
In Jamar’s mind, Phoebe was family. Their arguments didn’t mean much. They were siblings sharing the same blood, and there shouldn’t be lasting grudges.
Just like Jamnar had fought with his two older brothers before quickly making up, he felt the same about Sienna and Phoebe.
Now that Sienna had wronged Phoebe, Jamar was also upset. Sienna stared at Jamar in disbelief, her eyes welling up with tears. “Jamar, how could you not believe me!”
“And you even cursed me for Phoebe.” Usually, Jamar would have comforted her tenderly. But Reece and Sienna’s situation crossed his boundaries. Jamar pressed his lips together, looking at her. “Sienna, don’t forget that Phoebe is also my sister.
“When she bullies you or takes your things, I will unconditionally stand by your side. But I can’t accept you secretly getting involved with her boyfriend.”
Jamar was truly infuriated, pausing for a moment and continuing. There are plenty of rich young men or stars like Reece in the entertainment industry. Why pick Phoebe’s boyfriend?”
It’s no wonder Phoebe behaved so poorly toward Reece and Sienna during the live show. Did she already know they were betraying her! If I were in Phoebe’s position, I would be angry too! Jamar thought to himself.
Jamar couldn’t help but wonder if Phoebe was lashing out at him due to her frustration with Sienna. Hearing Jamar’s accusations made Sienna so furious she almou fell backward.
She no longer pretended. The tears flowed down her checks, “You don’t believe me? Are you even my brother? She reached for Jamar and punched him a few times. “I hate you! I don’t like you anymore!”
Seeing the two of them like this only darkened Reece’s mood further. “Enough, both of you” He was exasperated, his voice rising. “What time is it? And you’re still here flirting!”
Jamar and Sienna both turned to look at Reece, Jamar’s anger deepened on his face. “Who’s flirting! She’s my sister. Don’t just spout nonsense.
Reece gazed at Jamar mockingly. “What sibling pair often hugs and even kisses each other! The photos of Sienna and me online aren’t genuine intimacy. They were taken from clever angles. But you two? That’s real affection.”
Before this, Reece hadn’t known that the Jenkins brothers interacted so closely with Sienna. It was only after participating in the live show that Reece realized how intimate their gestures were.
Just earlier, he had come across a video of Jamar and Sienna in the yard, hugging and kissing, caught in the act during the livestream.
At that moment, Reece had only one thought. “Thank goodness Phoebe’s relationship with the Jenkins brothers isn’t that close, or I would have felt
since Sienna wasn’t Reece’s girlfriend, it shouldn’t matter how close Jamar and
Mainly, Reece felt that way toward the Jenkins brothers. However, since 5 Sienna got. Now, though, he wanted to vent his frustration.
After being challenged by Jamar, Reece fired back with sarcasm. Jamar was furious. “What we have is just a good sibling relationship. You’re the one

who’s twisted, seeing others as corrupt.”
Reece scoffed. “Il return that sentiment to you. My relationship with Sienna is pure. Believe it or not. Then Reece decided not to eat anymore and called Sebastian to arrange for a different car. He didn’t want to see Jamar and Sienna at all
Moreover, if he rode to the airport in the same car and got photographed, explaining his relationship with Sienna would be impossible.
Sebastian was a bit confused when he received the call. After inquiring, he learned that Erika’s car was arriving soon at the restaurant. Sebastian asked Reece if he could use Erika’s vehicle since it wouldn’t be possible to send a separate car in time.
As long as he didn’t have to ride with Jamar and Sienna, Reece didn’t mind and agreed without hesitation. He stood by the roadside outside the restaurant waiting for his car.
Meanwhile, Jamar and Sienna had fallen into a tense atmosphere. Sienna cried non–stop. In the past, Jamar would have comforted her by now.
But this time, Jamar, feeling agitated, ran a hand through his hair, and for the first time, he didn’t soothe Sienna but turned and left the restaurant. He ignored Reece standing by the roadside and gor into the car with a stern face.
This time, Jamar took the front passenger seat instead of sitting in the back. When Sienna saw him not speaking and leaving her behind, she felt even more aggrieved and tears streamed down her face, amplifying her sense of crisis.
Sienna realized how important Phoebe was to Jammar. Previously, Sienna had secretly undermined Phoebe to their faces, which made them think Phoebe often bullied her and wanted to drive her away from the Jenkins family.
Their years of growing up together made them side with Sienna. But this was the
e first time Jamar stood against Sienna because of Phoebe
Sienna thought, If I were truly with Reece, enduring some grievances wouldn’t matter. But I’m not I’m the most innocent and wronged victim here. Why should Jamar blame me? And Reece is a jerk too!
“How could he just walk away without comforting me! Both of them are treating me harshly for Phoebe. It’s too much. Phoebe, why can’t you just stop”
At that moment, Sienna’s resentment toward Phoebe deepened even further.
Why can’t that woman just disappear? Why does she have to come back and ruin my life! She’s just haunting me, Sienna thought as she picked up her phone and dialed Leon
At that moment. Leon was feeling frustrated. When he saw Sienna’s call, he suddenly felt a strong urge not to answer. It was annoying that Sienna had been hiding this ambiguous relationship with Reece from them..
I’m not just her agent but also her protective brother. How can she not trust me? And why does she have to get involved with Phoebe’s boyfriend? Can’t she choose someone else? Leon complained to himself.
This situation was hard for Leon to accept. Before the live stream, Leon had specifically called Reece to ask him to look after Sienna more. no idea that these two had been secretly getting close and that their relationship was complicated.
‘Do they think I’m a fool? Leon wondered.
He had
