When the family heard it was a major project for Aurathen, with Patrick overseeing the entire project, their worries finally began to fade, replaced by a swelling pride in their hearts.

The apprehension written on their faces slowly disappeared, giving way to sheer pride and joy.

Still, a sense of longing lingered most of all.

“Don’t worry about me,” Sienna said, her voice calm and unhurried. “I’ll find time to come back and see everyone. If things go smoothly… I might even make it to Sophie’s coming–of–age party.”

The Cooper family exchanged glances. Even though they couldn’t bear to see Sienna go, pride in her outweighed everything else.

Plus, if the country calls, who could ever refuse?

Rolf let out a sigh. “If it’s for work, then go ahead… But you promise us, if you ever get the chance, give us a call, all right?”

Sienna smiled and nodded. “Of course.”

Pansy took Sienna’s hand, her heart aching with a mix of love and worry. “Promise me you’ll take care of yourself, okay? No matter how busy you get, never skip your meals.”

Sienna gave her mom’s hand a gentle squeeze in response. “It’s only a few days, Mom. Don’t worry.”

The hall was buzzing with warmth and affection.

Everyone gathered around Sienna, showering her with loving reminders and heartfelt advice.

On the second–floor landing, Amanda gripped her glass so hard she nearly crushed it.

‘A national–level project? Seriously?‘ Amanda thought with a roll of her eyes.

‘And now she claims Professor Sharp personally asked her to take the lead? As if!‘ Amanda scoffed inwardly.

‘Could she be any more of a show–off?‘ Amanda sneered to herself.

‘Even if Sienna lucked her way into some fancy national certificate, it was a total fluke–she only pulled it off because of me! Amanda fumed.

‘Sienna’s just relying on me being too scared to spill that she stole my laptop, and now she’s shamelessly snatching up all the credit that rightfully belongs to me!‘ Amanda fumed.

‘And now she’s putting on such a huge act, strutting around like she’s some kind of important person,‘ Amanda sneered to

herself.

‘Does Sienna seriously not know her place? She’s nothing but a hick from the sticks–a nobody who was too much of a slacker to even bother showing up at school, Amanda scoffed inwardly.

“The Cooper family just used their connections to shove her into Patrick Sharp’s institute so she could fake some credentials and play an expert, Amanda thought bitterly.

‘And now she’s actually starting to believe her own hype?‘ Amanda scoffed to herself.

‘And of course, everyone in the family totally fell for her act, Amanda muttered to herself, rolling her eyes.

But when Amanda thought about Sienna moving out, a sly grin crept onto her face. “The second she’s gone, I’ll be the only heiress left in the Cooper house.”

“That’s my chance! Time to butter up everyone at home and make them all love me again, Amanda plotted, her eyes glinting

with mischief.

‘I’ll make sure they see I’m ten times better than Sienna ever was, Amanda promised herself, her confidence soaring.

‘I’ll let them know who the real star of the Cooper family is,’ Amanda thought, puffing up with pride.

Meanwhile, Rolf was still watching Sienna with concern.

“Sienna, be real with me. Are you sure this has nothing to do with the Fairbank family? If you don’t want to handle it yourself, I can take care of it for you…” Rolf said, worry etched on his face.

“Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?” Sienna replied, her eyes sparkling with quiet confidence, a faint smile tugging at her lips. “Just sit back and watch, Grandpa. The Fairbank family doesn’t need us to do anything. They’re more than capable of destroying themselves.”

Looking at the tragic state the Fairbank family was in now, Sienna finally understood something.

She could see clearly why Zea had handed over every last share to her before passing away.

Sure, part of it was her worrying that once Sienna returned to the Fairbank family, Hazel might make her life hell. By putting all the shares in Sienna’s hands, Hazel would at least have to tread carefully and think twice before trying anything

nasty.

However, the main reason was that Melvin and Hazel were straight–up idiots.

If they weren’t such fools, they wouldn’t have crashed and burned the very moment Sienna withdrew her support.

They crashed so hard, there was absolutely no way to come back from it.

That just proved the only reason the Fairbank Group ever made its way into the Orlathis City elites was because Sienna was the one backing them.

They had every top–notch resource handed to them, and somehow still turned the Fairbank Group into a total disaster.

No wonder Grandma never gave them even a single share,’ Sienna thought.

Reflecting on this, she glanced up at Theo, a spark of confidence in her gaze. “Theo, there’s something I need your help

with.”

Theo instantly sat up straighter and asked, “What is it?”

“I need a few people,” Sienna replied, her eyes cold and unreadable. “The Fairbank family’s fate means nothing to me. But the Fairbank Group–there’s no way I’ll let it fall.”

Sienna raised her eyebrows. “The Fairbank Group was built from scratch by Grandpa and Grandma. For Grandma, this company meant everything to her. It was her legacy, her whole life’s work.”

“The Fairbank family is so useless, they couldn’t even protect what their elders built,” Sienna continued, her tone frosty.

“If they can’t hold onto it, then I’ll step in and take it over myself,” Sienna declared, her voice cold and full of resolve.

“Theo, I need a top–notch team to audit the Fairbank Group. Assets, liabilities, shares. The whole deal. I want a comprehensive evaluation and a seamless takeover,” Sienna said, her voice steady and determined.

“Before the Fairbank family goes down with their sinking ship, I’m going to pull Grandpa and Grandma’s company out safe and sound,” Sienna promised, her gaze icy and full of resolve.

Theo’s eyes flashed behind his glasses as he grinned. “You got it. I’ll set everything up.”

Rolf and Gerard looked at Sienna, their eyes filled with open admiration.

‘She really is the Cooper family’s pride and joy,‘ they both thought, hearts warmed by family affection.

‘She’s got guts!‘ they both thought, grinning from ear to ear.

From upstairs, Amanda overheard every word, catching it all loud and clear.

When she realized just how much Sienna cared about Fairbank Group, so much that she was about to wrest control from the Fairbank family’s hands…

A spark of jealous ambition flashed across Amanda’s eyes.

‘Well, the Fairbank Group, huh… Amanda mused, her thoughts turning sly.

‘So Sienna’s got her eye on it… Amanda sneered to herself.

‘No way I’m letting her get what she wants,‘ Amanda vowed, her eyes glinting with competitive fire.

Retorchi and Kagutsuchi had teamed up, and now countless assassins were pouring into Aurathen one after another.

Sienna had no intention of lingering at the Cooper family’s house any longer.

Every extra minute she stayed here only made things more dangerous for them.

She wasted no time. After grabbing her essentials, she prepared to head out.

Before that, Pansy asked softly, her voice laced with worry, “Do you really have to rush off so soon?”
