Evan Quinn answered in a childish voice, "Got it, mommy!"
"Sienna Quinn, what nonsense are you talking? Is that how you teach a child?" Landon Lawson’s face turned completely dark. Sienna was truly uncontrollable, no wonder Evan Quinn sotis spoke with barbs like her, it turns out he learned it from Sienna.
What a great mommy!
Sienna shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, as long as she could protect Evan, what did it matter if she angered Landon?
Evan looked at Landon, a bit helpless. Why was his daddy so clueless? He seriously doubted who he inherited his high IQ from.
Felix Orwell stood beside Sienna, squinting at Vera Yates and Miles Grant. Apart from Sienna, Felix was the person who knew these two the best.
Felix looked at the man in front of him, the corners of his mouth curling up.
Axel Yates walked over, clearly observing the ongoing dispute among the few of them, protecting Sienna, and spoke with a grin, "Why is President Lawson so angry?"
"President Yates, you’re spreading your net wide."
Landon Lawson squinted at Axel Yates, this man repeatedly showed up for Sienna, standing up for her.
And now there was Felix Orwell behind him.
He was her man, her husband. When was it up to other n to protect his wife?
Felix carefully scrutinized Axel Yates; he had never seen him protect Sienna like this before.
What happened now?
Could it really be like Sean Carter said?
With a devilish grin, it seed he had two love rivals now, but so what?
The woman he had his eyes on, he wouldn’t give up no matter what. So people only co into your life once, and you mustn’t let them go.
Vera Yates gently coughed, breaking the tense atmosphere, "I’m going to the bathroom."
Evan Quinn with a soft body watched Vera Yates leaving and slightly raised an eyebrow; the bathroom wasn’t in that direction, why go that way?
His soft little hand gently tugged at Sienna’s hem, "Mommy, I want to go to the bathroom."
"Let Uncle Sean Carter take you, alright?"
There were many people at the birthday party today, and Evan being a child, it was still sowhat dangerous for him to go alone.
Evan nodded obediently, and Sean Carter took his little hand to head to the bathroom.
From afar, Clara Quinn watched them, but didn’t hear their conversation, her face looked sowhat grim, seeing Axel Yates going in that direction too.
All the city’s most outstanding n were around Sienna, how could she stand it?
"Claire still doesn’t have a boyfriend, does she?"
"Our Claire hasn’t t the right one yet, after all, marriage is a significant decision and cannot be taken lightly," Amanda Warren smiled warmly, chatting with those around her while pulling Clara over to introduce her to a few affluent ladies.
Clara smiled and handled it.
One of the won looked in Sienna’s direction, clicked her tongue, and said, "Your Sienna is sothing else, creating such a world for herself, surrounded by young talents."
Amanda Warren’s once-smiling face suddenly dimd, her gaze drifting towards Sienna. Not only was Landon Lawson there, but even Axel Yates whom she fancied was there, and the city’s most outstanding young doctor, Miles Grant, was also there.
What did Sienna have that so many people gravitated towards her?
And making those outside look at her with fresh eyes, their reviews of her increasingly high and full of praise, whereas during Sienna’s five-year absence, Clara was the most focused girl in the Quinn Family.
"Alas!"
Amanda Warren suddenly sighed.
The person beside her was taken aback, not quite understanding, "Why the sigh?" the person who initially praised Sienna asked, confused.
Amanda shook her head towards Sienna’s direction, speaking rather helplessly, "Now that Sienna has grown up, we, as elders, can’t control her anymore."
"Why? Isn’t Sienna doing well?"
Successful in business, surrounded by young talents, even with an adorable child, and rumors said that Landon Lawson wanted to remarry her.
Sienna was at the pinnacle of her life, why would this make Amanda and the others act this way? There’s no ti to be anything but happy.
Amanda pointed to Felix by Sienna’s side, shaking her head repeatedly, "See him next to Sienna? A pretty boy. God knows what trick he used to make Sienna fall head over heels."
"Is this true?"
The nearby lady was startled, incredulously looking at Felix.
"He may be sowhat good looking, but this isn’t sothing a girl from a wealthy family would do. If it gets out, the impact won’t be small."
The won shared glances, their eyes reflecting a peculiar radiance. This sort of gossip was always welco and often beca dinner table conversation.
Clara snickered, rolling her eyes dismissively, "Birds of a feather flock together, after all, she’s a divorced woman, now unable to find a good family, she can only afford to keep a man, otherwise, she wouldn’t have any."
Everyone looked at one another, conceding to Clara’s point.
Sienna and Landon were divorced, and there’s a kid with her.
At today’s birthday party, Landon even brought Vera Yates along, signaling those two were near commitnt.
Thus, Sienna beca a woman no one wanted, with a kid, a wealthy family wouldn’t marry such a woman.
"But why does that man look familiar?" soone else wondered.
"Familiar?"
Amanda paused, taking a few more looks at Felix. Though attractive, she confird she had never seen him before.
"Feels like I’ve seen him sowhere, just can’t recall at the mont," the woman rubbed her temples.
Amanda didn’t take her words seriously, assuming it was a mistake.
Clara’s eyes twirled slightly; today’s birthday party was the perfect opportunity.
Clara whispered into Amanda’s ear, who nodded, and Clara quietly slipped away.
Amanda watched as Clara headed towards the kitchen, smirking. Ti for the show to start, and so people should always remain underfoot, never given a chance to rise.
Clara had just reached the kitchen when she spotted a familiar figure at the door.
"Vera Yates?"
Clara was a bit taken aback since the kitchen wasn’t a place Vera visited, but she was there today for so reason.
Vera smiled her signature smile, exuding warmth, "What are you up to?"
