Amanda smiled sweetly and softly. “Tomorrow’s Sophie’s coming–of–age party. If we try it on now, we can fix anything that doesn’t fit in time.”
Finishing her sentence, Amanda seemed to remember something, turned to Sienna with a deliberately gentle tone and added, “Oh, Sienna, you haven’t met Sophie yet, right? She’s Mason’s little sister, the princess of the Brown family.
“We’re super close. She really likes me. I’ll introduce you two at her coming–of–age party tomorrow.”
At first, what she said didn’t really sound like a big deal.
But Amanda was obviously trying a little too hard. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, pretending to be shy. “To be honest, Sophie has always stuck to me like glue, ever since she was little. She keeps saying she wants me to be her sister–in–law someday.
“Sienna, if she says anything strange when you meet her tomorrow, just don’t mind her–she’s basically still a kid and doesn’t know any better…” Amanda’s voice was soft and sweet, but the more she went on, the sketchier it sounded.
Pansy picked up on something too. She frowned and interrupted Amanda. “Amanda, let’s just eat first, okay? We’ll sort the dress after dinner. Don’t keep everyone waiting just to try it on–the food’s getting cold.”
Then, taking Sienna’s hand, she smiled softly. “Didn’t Grandpa Rolf invite you himself to Sophie’s coming–of- age party? And I had Master Antonio make a dress just for you. Once we’re done eating, let’s go try it on together.”
Amanda’s smile almost slipped right off her face.
‘Mom seriously had Master Antonio design a gown for Sienna too?‘ Amanda’s thoughts spun furiously.
‘I had no idea!‘ she seethed inwardly.
‘Mom didn’t even tell me about this!‘ Amanda fumed in disbelief.
‘So all that bragging in front of Sienna just now–what was the point?‘ she thought, utterly humiliated.
‘And for what? Why does she get everything handed to her just like that?‘ Amanda’s jealousy flared.
She’d spent ages sweet–talking Mom, working every angle just to get Master Antonio to make her a custom
gown.
But Sienna didn’t lift a finger, and Mom still ordered one for her too.
‘Mom is so ridiculously biased!‘ Amanda raged inside.
Amanda was so jealous she was almost losing it.
Sienna already had a whole walk–in closet packed with exclusive Yara Bloom couture.

Just one of those pieces was worth a fortune.
:
‘Why is Mom throwing away more money on a custom gown for Sienna?‘ Amanda fumed.

‘Does she seriously want Sienna to steal all the spotlight from me?‘ Amanda thought, her jealousy burning.
Amanda was burning up inside with jealousy, but she didn’t dare let even a trace show on her face. She forced down her feelings and nodded sweetly.
She glanced at Beatriz, who was there with the mannequin in tow, and said, “Beatriz, please just take my gown up to my room. I’ll try it on after dinner.”
After that, she sat herself down at a seat far away from the others, clearly reluctant and choosing the spot furthest from the action.
It was as far from Rolf and Pansy as she could get.
Because all of them were gathered around Sienna.
Right then, as Beatriz was wheeling the mannequin towards the stairs, she happened to catch sight of a lavishly wrapped gift box sitting on the sofa nearby.
It didn’t have any designer label, but one quick glance and you could tell it was seriously expensive.
This was absolutely a top–tier, custom–order gift box.
Her mind started whirring, and she hustled over to grab the gift box, her voice going full–on dramatic as she chimed, “Wow, Mrs. Cooper, you really do think of everything! Not only did you get Miss Amanda a brand- new custom gown, you even picked out the perfect jewelry to match. Should I take both up to her room for her?”
Pansy looked up at Beatriz.
When she saw what Beatriz was holding, her expression shifted instantly, and she was just about to speak.
“Mom, for real?” Amanda’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Pansy, her whole face absolutely beaming. She was so over the moon she could hardly contain herself.
She clutched Pansy’s hand, her excitement bubbling over. “Thank you, Mom! I was freaking out about what jewelry would go with my dress. I’ve been stressing over it forever, and nothing at home felt right, but you totally nailed it. You seriously spoil me–no one loves me like you do!”
Pansy was just about to explain the gift box was actually something Sienna brought, but Amanda was way too hyped to notice and cut her off, bossing Beatriz around. “Beatriz, quick–take it up to my room with my dress! I can’t wait to try them both together after dinner!”
“You got it!” Beatriz nodded eagerly, practically bouncing with excitement.
She was just about to head upstairs.
But just then, Theo stood up, pushed his chair back, and strode over in a few long steps.

His presence was so overwhelming it felt like the whole room was shrinking.
Beatriz flinched, her voice trembling. “Mr. Cooper…”

Theo still looked all gentle and refined, but behind those gold–rimmed glasses, his eyes were cold enough to cut right through you.
He reached out and snatched the gift box, his tone icy. “This is a present from Mason for Sienna. Don’t touch
it.”
Amanda’s smile froze, the joy draining from her face in an instant.
Her eyes went wide in total disbelief, staring at Sienna–who just kept eating calmly, not even phased, like nothing in the world could bother her.
A gift from Mason… for Sienna?‘ Amanda was hit so hard she could barely process it.
Why would Mason ever give Sienna a present?‘ she thought, her brain short–circuiting with jealousy and confusion.
That gift box–anyone could tell it was an exclusive, top–shelf custom job.
It looked ridiculously expensive.
‘Mason really gave Sienna something worth a fortune?‘ Amanda’s jealousy was about to burst through the roof.
‘Beatriz is totally right–these country girls always have their sneaky little tricks,‘ Amanda sneered to herself.
‘She’s barely been here any time at all, and Mason’s already hopelessly smitten. Just look at her–she’s got him. spending money left and right,’ Amanda seethed, her jealousy flaring.
‘There’s no way Sienna didn’t bring that gift home just to flaunt it, trying to make everyone see how much Mason worships her,‘ Amanda thought bitterly.
