Hazel stared at Melvin, who was practically fuming–and an image flashed through her mind of how he’d treated her like dirt outside the Golden Throne Club not long ago.

Hazel shot back, her voice ringing with anger. “What’s your problem? Who are you to blame me–or the boys? You’re her father, and yet she’s been living here for four years, and you never even noticed. Four years–you couldn’t even be bothered to step inside once. You had zero interest in whether she was dead or alive. And now, suddenly you want to play the hero?”

Melvin became so flustered that his face turned beet red–he couldn’t get a single word out for what felt like an eternity. He pulled at his hair, frustration clear on his face. ‘Yeah, who am I supposed to blame?‘ he thought, feeling completely defeated.

‘No wonder Sienna resents us so much. She walked out Fairbank family without a second thought, and there’s no way she’d ever want to come back. Anyone would hate us after being treated like trash for four years in a place like this.‘

Melvin leaned heavily against the wall, his fever burning hot and his head throbbing so bad he felt like the world was spinning out of control. He could barely keep his eyes open and found himself wishing he could just let everything fade to black and slip back into unconsciousness.

“Dad, talking about this now doesn’t matter anymore,” Xavier said, his voice heavy with despair as he looked around the dilapidated room. He glanced at Melvin, who looked pale and unwell, barely holding himself together, and forced himself to continue. “The Fairbank family is falling apart, and now we owe another 30 million dollars. How are we supposed to move forward from here?”

Melvin struggled to steady his breathing before he finally managed to speak. “What else can we do? Whoever tied this knot has to untie it… Right now, Sienna’s our last shot.”

“She’s mingling with the city’s hottest heirs–Alvin Fuller, Gloria Tillery, Kendrick Hansen, and all those wealthy younger generation elites. And she’s actually pretty high up in their social circle,” Melvin said, unable to hide hope in his voice.

“If we just put in some real effort and take the time to win her over, get her to come back, that 30 million dollars won’t mean a thing. If she agrees, the Fairbank family could stage an incredible comeback with all their connections. We might even secure a place among the absolute top tier of Orlathis City’s elite families!” The more Melvin spoke, the more his eyes sparkled–and his confidence only grew.

Xavier simply pursed his lips, keeping his thoughts to himself. He knew full well that if Sienna ever showed even the slightest willingness to forgive, all their troubles would vanish overnight.

But that was the real catch: Sienna’s attitude had been clear from the very beginning. Returning to the Fairbank family was out of the question. That ship had sailed, and there was no turning back.

“She’ll give us another chance!” Melvin said, his voice raw with desperation as he clung to this hope like it was his last lifeline. He balled his fists, determined not to let go. “Just think about how Sienna used to be.

“Deep down, all Sienna ever wanted was a real family. If that weren’t true, why would she have spent four years stumbling over herself, trying so hard–almost begging–to be accepted here? She swallowed her pride and did everything she could just to have a place in this family.”

He continued, “When your grandmother passed away, she was devastated. She locked herself in Grandma’s room for three days, crying so much that her eyes became swollen and puffy. That shows just how deeply she cares. She’s always been someone who values family and loyalty above all else.

“If we are willing to put aside our pride, sincerely regret what we did, and treat her not just as a guest, but like a true family member–making her feel the warmth of this home–she won’t be able to turn her back on us. She will come home.”

Xavier watched his father, who looked almost deranged, his lips twitching as if he wanted to say something.

But Melvin just clenched his fists, muttering vacantly like he was stuck in some fever dream. “Right, back at the Golden Throne Club, Sienna kept purposely bragging about her family from the slums in front of us, showing off just how tight they are. She was totally making a scene–putting it out there just for us to see.

“She was trying to rile us up, make us jealous. Doesn’t that just show how much she cares about us? She’s craving our attention!”

As he spoke, Melvin started laughing almost maniacally, as if he could already see Sienna returning–the Fairbank family making a dramatic comeback, soaring to new heights, with a bright future shining clearly before him.

Xavier’s lips twitched, but he said nothing. He stared at Melvin, who looked half–crazed, yet in his mind, all he could see was how Sienna had walked away–her face completely blank, without even a flicker of nostalgia or warmth for this place. He couldn’t shake the feeling that this time, it was truly different.

Jessica stayed quiet, her head lowered and fingers nervously twisting at her skirt, bunching it up in anxious little creases.

When Sienna got home, as expected, her entire family was waiting for her. She spent some time chatting with them to catch up, then went upstairs to her room. After washing up, she climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep.

Sienna felt a wave of nausea rising in her stomach just thinking about those Fairbank creeps who had gotten under her skin again today.

Somewhere between sleep and waking, Sienna felt her mind begin to drift, as if she were that skinny little girl again–just five years old.

She stood by the rickety table in the old country house, under a bare yellow bulb that flickered intermittently. Clutching a worn–out phone, her small hands trembled as she nervously dialed the number she had already memorized.

Her face filled with hope, she waited what felt like an eternity as the busy tone droned on, her clear, innocent eyes shining with anticipation. But when the call finally went through, all she heard was Melvin’s voice- distant and casual, never sounding like he cared.

“Hey, Sienna, Dad’s busy with an important project right now. I’ll come see you as soon as I’m finished, okay? Be good, listen to Grandma, and don’t-”

He hadn’t even finished speaking when Melvin’s voice suddenly brightened. “Mr. Harmon, you’re finally
