Sienna pulled her hand back, but a sh of real worry and cold anger showed in her eyes.
She had always raised her child with tough, elite standards. She was strict, distant, and never soft. But Jolie was still the daughter she carried for nine months. Even though Jolie had made mistakes, letting someone beat her like this? That was on them, not Jolie.
“Tess is leaving the hospital tomorrow and heading back to the office. I’m going there too to discuss a partnership. You’reing with me.”
Her voice was cold. It was an order; Sienna left no room to argue.
Jolie doesn’t get it. Her voice jumped a pitch. “Mom, you’re meeting with Ember Group? Why?! Tess is their CEO now! She’s the one who hit me! How can you work with her? And I heard thatpany is close to shutting down. Why would we even work with them?!”
Sienna kept her brows tight. She watched as Jolie got worked up. She pressed her fingers to her temples. “We’re the Reagens. The Reagens of Moserton. Everyone watches what we do. Your dad tried to use to pressure them with our influence. If that spreads, what will people say about our family? That we throw our weight around to bully others?”
Her tone was sharp, full of me. Jolie still looked lost.
Sienna sighed. Jolie obviously wasn’t following any of this. So, she cut it short. “You’reing with me tomorrow. I’m going to get justice for you.”
“Really?”
Jolie’s eyes lit up. She almost couldn’t believe it.
In her mind, her mom was always untouchable–cold, distant, like a wless statue. Shved for work and order, not emotions.
But today, her mom promised she’d stand up for her.
“You get bullied in public and even end up at the police station; you might not feel embarrassed, but I do.”
Sienna folded her arms, her gazending on Jolie’s still–swollen cheeks.
Jolie touched her face, feeling the heat and puffiness. Her cheeks burned, and she bowed her

“But Mom,” she whispered, “you said we can’t use our power. How are you going to get justice for me?”
Jolie blinked in confusion.
Sienna knocked gently against Jolie’s forehead. “You silly girl.”
“Our identity is sensitive. We can’t show up looking like bullies, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use it.”
Jolie blinked hard. She understood nothing. Her eyes were wide and confused.
“You’ll see tomorrow.”
Sienna looked into those clear, almost clueless eyes and sighed.
When she heard that, Jolie broke into a smile again. She stepped forward and clung to Sienna’s arm, suddenly sweet and clingy. “Mom, you’re so good to me. I knew it!”
They shared a rare warm moment. Then Sienna told Jolie to finish her food, and she left the hotel room.
But the second she stepped out of Jolie’s sight, her soft expression froze over.
Her whole presence turned sharp, like a sword drawn halfway from its sheath, cold enough to make anyone flinch.
<i>Tess</i>…
Sienna narrowed her eyes. She wanted to see what kind of nerve this girl had; how dare Tessy a hand on her daughter?
The midday sun lit her face, but her eyes stayed dark and unreadable.
People passing by felt a chill for no reason and quickly looked away.
The next morning, Abel showed up early outside the hotel.
He had sent the Larsons an invitationst night. Abel arrived on time. The family gathered the entrance, but they seemed to be talking to someone unfamiliar.
Abel frowned and instantly grew alert. He walked toward them in quick steps.

As he got closer, he heard their voices.
“Sienna? What brings you to Aetheris?”
Olivia smiled warmly, her tone gentle..

“It’s been a while,” Benjamin added, surprisingly talkative. “When you return home, give your parents my regards.”
Violet stood to the side, thoughtful and quiet.
“I came to handle something for my daughter,” Sienna said. “Didn’t expect to run into mention it to our families when I’m back.”
you. I’ll
Her voice sounded young for someone their age, clearly a woman in her early middle years.
Abel stepped forward and spoke first. “You ran into someone you know?”
The Larsons all turned at the sound of his voice. When they saw it was Abel, Violet hurried over and pulled him aside. “Wait outside,” she said quickly.
Abel blinked, confused.
The Larsons had always treated him like their own. This was the first time they acted distant with him.
Even so, Violet shot him a subtle signal with her eyes, so he didn’t argue. He muttered under his breath and stepped outside.
Once Abel left, Sienna finally turned toward the group. She only caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking away.
“And who is he?” she asked.
She looked over the Larsons again and noticed they were all dressed up, clearly ready to head
out.
What a coincidence.
In Crorus, there were only a handful of old families at the top. They didn’t mingle often they all knew each other by name. Still, Sienna never expected staying in a random luxu hotel suite in Aetheris would lead her straight to the Larsons.
