Fake Heiress Real Trouble (Sienna) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163

:

Amanda’s eyes widened suddenly, sheer disbelief flashing in them.

‘No way?‘ Amanda thought, her mind spinning.

How could it possibly not exist?‘ she wondered, baffled.

“But I heard it was a national emergency project…” Amanda blurted out.

Darren shook his head. “Seriously, there’s nothing like that going on. I’m Professor Sharp’s right–hand man–a personal assistant. Everything about his team goes through me, so if there was an emergency project, I’d know. Right now, everyone’s just continuing with their ongoing projects like always.

“And as for sneaking someone in? Not a chance. Professor Sharp hasn’t said a word about bringing in any newcomers, and let’s be real–this is Professor Sharp we’re talking about. There’s no way he’d allow anyone to get added to his team through the back door.”

Amanda’s smile died instantly as her heart was racing out of control, and her sweet voice spiked with panic. “What? Darren, are you serious?”

“Of course I’m sure…” Darren replied, Amanda’s startled cry almost shocking him back to sobriety.

Amanda’s breath grew rapid and shallow, a rush of exhilaration flooding through her heart.

‘There isn’t even a single new project happening at the institute!‘ she thought, her pulse racing with excitement.

‘And Professor Sharp’s team? They don’t have any emergency projects at all!‘ she realized, overwhelmed by

the revelation.

‘Sienna made it all up!‘ Amanda’s thoughts flashed, triumphant.

‘She really fooled everyone!‘ The satisfaction in Amanda’s chest was almost impossible to contain.

‘She never even went to the institute! That whole “national emergency project“-it was completely made up!‘ Amanda thought, excitement surging through her.

‘And Sienna actually moved out of the Cooper family home just to make her lie look more real,‘ Amanda realized, her anger flaring.

‘Wait… could it be that she moved out just so she could shack up with some guy?‘ Amanda wondered, suspicion burning inside her.

“That’s it!‘ Amanda thought, her excitement mounting.

‘It has to be!‘ she told herself, her heart pounding with certainty.

‘Seriously, what else could make Sienna spin such a story and move out of the Cooper family home–unless she’s holed up with some random guy, living out her secret? Amanda’s suspicion only burned hotter.‘

“This is absolutely huge–could it get any better than this?‘ Amanda thought, barely able to contain her glee.

‘Once I get back to the Cooper family and lay bare all of Sienna’s lies, everyone will finally see her for what

–

she is a shameless fraud with no morals, only fit to disgrace the Cooper family!‘ Amanda thought, triumphant.

‘There’s no way they’ll keep spoiling Sienna like before, Amanda scoffed to herself, gloating inside.

“They’ll realize at last–it’s me, Amanda, who’s the one and only daughter worthy of the Cooper family honor!” Amanda thought, satisfaction blooming in her heart.

She was dead set on letting Mason know just what a shameless, dirty woman Sienna really was.

‘I’ll make Mason realize who truly deserves to be by his side!‘ Amanda thought, triumphant.

Amanda was nearly overflowing with excitement, but she tried her best to sound calm. “Oh, I see. Maybe I heard wrong… I really thought I’d have a chance to work with you, Darren.”

*****

At the Yara Bloom headquarters studio, Sienna arrived and immediately threw herself into finishing two evening gowns.

She only had today to get them done.

If she didn’t, once the Black Python entered the country, it would be way too easy for it to lead the enemy straight to Yara Bloom’s headquarters.

And if that happened, there was no way she’d be able to get the dresses to Sophie in time for her coming–of-

age party.

After all, Sophie still needed to coordinate her jewelry and makeup to complement the gowns.

All of that had to be planned out ahead of time.

Sienna barely looked up from her work, and just like that, the whole day slipped away.

Before she knew it, another full day was gone.

By nightfall, the two evening gowns were at last done.

Sienna personally refined every seam and every piece of 3D embroidery, chasing perfection in every detail- nothing escaped her touch, and everything matched her exacting vision.

When she gazed at the finished gowns, Sienna’s eyes were full of pride and satisfaction.

“Ms. Cooper! They’re absolutely perfect! Totally flawless!” Mavis shouted, practically bouncing with

excitement as she couldn’t stop snapping photos of both dresses from every angle.

Staring at the showcase shots of those absolutely stunning gowns, Mavis felt her breath catch–she was blown away by just how gorgeous they looked.

She was so impressed, she nearly fainted from excitement.

Clutching the photos, her smile couldn’t be wider. “Ms. Cooper, I’ll send these high–res pics to the client right now! If he says yes, we’re getting the final payment!”

“Wait…” Sienna suddenly spoke up.

Mavis stopped in her tracks, clutching the photos, and turned to look at her.

Sienna’s gaze drifted over to the mannequin, her eyes fixed on that show–stopping red evening gown–a spark of hesitation and longing flickered deep within her expression as she got lost in thought, thinking just how perfect it looked.

‘Since this is something Mason’s giving to Sophie… Sienna thought, her mind straying for a moment.

‘And Sophie’s not just anyone—she’s my best friend…‘ Sienna hesitated, the guilt gnawing at her even more.

‘But seriously, I took 300 million dollars from Mason for this. Isn’t that way too much?‘ Sienna wondered, almost doubting herself.

He’d let her crash at his villa when she needed a place, even arranged for someone to take care of her, and ran around handling things on her behalf…

Mason’s dangerously alluring face, cold yet sinful, with that lazy, teasing grin and his shirt deliberately left undone, oozing charisma like a sly, wicked demon–just flashed across her mind.

“It’s fine,” Sienna told herself, her fingers unconsciously tensing as she snapped back to reality. “Send them. Everything goes by the contract.”

‘It’s all fair–cash in hand, goods delivered. Business is business. No one’s getting hustled here,‘ Sienna reassured herself.

And besides, she’d tossed in a bonus backup gown that matched Sophie’s vibe even better, covering all the bases–just in case the first one wasn’t a fit. She’d honestly done more than enough.

‘300 million, two evening gowns!‘ Sienna thought—no guilt needed; it was a straight–up deal.

‘Honestly, that’s more than fair, Sienna thought, feeling totally good about this deal.

With that in mind, Sienna felt her doubts melt away–she was completely at peace with herself now.

By the time she finally wrapped everything up, it was already past nine at night.

She rubbed her aching shoulders and patted her stomach, which was now grumbling loud enough to be embarrassing.

Changing out of her work clothes, she picked up her phone, ready to head out of the studio.

After a whole day of non–stop rushing around, when Sienna finally checked her phone, there wasn’t much waiting for her.

Only a couple of messages showed up.

One was from her mom, sweetly nagging her to cat on time and look after herself.

The other was a text from Mason.

He’d sent it about an hour earlier.

Sienna checked Pansy’s message first, quickly replied, and only then looked at Mason’s text.

Mason’s message was short: “Tonight… coming home?”

Just six words, nothing else–on the surface, it seemed perfectly neutral, no emotion at all.
