Chapter 34 Her Mother
At this point, the Abyssal Choir wasn’t yet infamous. It was still in its rapid–growth phase.
Finished
In the novel, the Abyssal Choir was a feared villainous organization–bloody, ruthless, and a constant thorn in the side of both the male and female leads.
And yet, here and now, the Abyssal Choir had taken on what looked like a “righteous” job–helping the film school girls fight back.
It wasn’t what she had expected at all.
Which meant, somehow, she had accidentally become involved in one of the Abyssal Choir’s missions.
The more she thought about it, the more questions she had.
What exactly was her connection to Abyssal Choir?
Jean glanced back at Twitter. New updates were pouring in.
Apparently, Mr. Lamda hadn’t come to Central Theater alone. He’d shown up with a full security team–multiple bodyguards hidden throughout the audience to protect him.
Yikes.
What kind of ordinary man needs that many bodyguards at a public event?
Clearly, Mr. Lamda had been hiding something. He was scared–very scared.
Which explained why the Abyssal Choir had wanted her to shut off the lights.
Once the lights went out
The bodyguards‘ vision would be useless. And their target could be taken without resistance,
That mystery man who clearly couldn’t afford to be seen–could move freely in the dark.
It was all planned ahead of time.
Jean realized she’d been unknowingly manipulated into helping. Just a pawn, moved right where they wanted her.
Still, one thing gnawed at her.
Why had the mysterious man from Abyssal Choir trusted her so easily?
What if she hadn’t gone along with it?
What if she hadn’t triggered the blackout?
Wouldn’t that have ruined their whole plan?
She was only thirteen. Surely Abyssal Choir wasn’t stupid enough to risk their entire mission on a kid….
Why involve her at all? Why trust that she would come through?
It didn’t add up.
If they’d handled it themselves, the mission would’ve been quicker, cleaner
Whatever. No point overthinking it..

He hadn’t returned in person but
was spreading Eke we
In the video beat in front of the camera lumped and pale, clearly shaken. He looked like he’d been through hell
He opened his mouth lips trembling voice low and broken. Im sorry I want to apologize to all of my students
It was clearly a forced apology video
Clearly recorded under pressure–almost cerly by Abyssal Choir
Wherber
What mattered was that Mr. Lam had confessed On video. In front of the whole world
And with that, he was done
His reputation? Gone
His power Gene
Jean figured the Abyssal Choir had achieved their goal They’d probably release him soon let him face legal punishment
Online people were thrilled.
“Finally That apology felt so good.”
“LMAO be actually recorded a video
“This is so satisfying”
“This is just step one. You’ve still got the courts to deal with scumbag
“You think a sorry is enough? What about what you come those
“Better start prepping your apology fund. You’ve got a lot of emotional damage to pay for
“Ugh, just get lost. Go rot in prison or something”
With that, the scandal seemed to be drawing to a dose
Jean Lopped onto her bed.
The exhaustion she’d been pushing down all day dnally caught up to her
She closed her eyes, letting herself doze for a bit.
She didn’t know how long she’d slept but when the opened her eyes again she could hear a soft voice from outside her door
“Don’t you want to go in and see her, miss!”
Forget it. She probably doesn’t want to see me anyway
A woman’s voice!
Jean snapped awake. Her eyes darted, thoughts racine
At this hour, a woman inside the Ginger family’s estate could only me
Jean jumped out of bed, crossed to the door, and yanked it open.
Chapter 34 Her Mother
And Jean found herself staring straight to a pair of wide. luminous almond eyes.
The woman standing there was Sienna–the host’s biological mother.
Yes. The “Ginger” in Ginger family came from her last name.
Everyone in the Ginger family had taken her surname.
Sienna was the daughter of the previous family head, the beloved heiress raised like royalty
Finished
Because of her unique status and her role as the only heir, her marriage had always been destined to be unconventional
If she was going to inherit the Ginger family name, her husband would have to marry into the family.
Jean looked at the woman she hadn’t seen until today. Her lips curved into a small, sweet smile. “Mom. You’re home
Sienna froze in place.
It was like she’d been turned to
She knew Jean didn’t like to be close to her..
She’d learned to accept that.
She stayed away, not wanting to make things worse between them.
But now-
This moment felt like a dream.
Wow… she’s really beautiful. Prettier than most actresses. So elegant
Jean stared at Sienna, eyes filled with admiration
Sienna’s eyes widened in surprise.
Wait what was that?
Jean hadn’t said a word.
Then what had she just heard?
Was that… her thoughts?
Was she really hearing her daughter’s inner voice!
It was unbelievable.
But also incredible.
Sienna had always wondered what Jean truly thought of her. Jean never shared anything. She never let her in.
Had the heavens finally answered her prayers? Given her this chance?
“Jean” Sienna’s voice trembled. She stepped forward quickly, crouched down in front of her daughter, her beautiful eyes shimmering
Jean found herself staring again.
She really as a rare beauty…
Chapter 34 Her Mother
Jean’s expression twisted.
Crap. I’ve been so busy dealing with the brothers, I completely forgot one massive issue
That guy isn’t my dad at all! He’s just a live–in son–in–law. A piece of trash. Morally bankrupt. Has a secret daughter on the side!
Sienna stood there, stunned
