Theo adjusted his gold–rimmed glasses, his face deadly serious. “Yeah, as long as you get it–guys are all pigs, just waiting to trick you. Even I can be just as bad.”

Theo, a CEO who seemed gentle but absolutely dominant, was sitting there with a straight face, honestly admitting he was not a good guy.

Rolf and Gerard didn’t object–in fact, they even gave their supportive nods.

Sienna was so amused that her icy demeanor melted; her usually cool gaze grew soft, and her eyes brimmed with laughter.

She nodded. “Yeah, got it–guys can’t be trusted, Mason’s no good either, and I’ll stay the heck away from

him.”

Amanda’s heart bubbled with envy hearing their warm, loving banter.

Theo had never spoken to her with that kind of care–not once had he been so openly protective.

He looked genuinely afraid that some other guy might swoop in and steal away his beloved little sister.

He definitely never showed that kind of worry whenever he talked to her.

Before Sienna came back, Amanda had to book a slot ahead of time just to get a moment with Theo.

She was lucky if she got to see him even once a month.

As the future heir to the Cooper family, Theo was practically never home.

He might look like a perfect gentleman, but honestly, Theo was the hardest of the three brothers to get along with.

Amanda hardly ever saw him, so their bond was just superficial at best.

But his attitude toward Sienna was on another level entirely.

Amanda’s eyes flickered with mischief as she grabbed her fork, feigning casualness while she tossed out, “Are you really just going to stay away from Mason? I thought you were totally into him!”

Her remark made the newly warmed atmosphere at the table go icy again in an instant.

Everyone’s eyes snapped to her at once.

Amanda was savoring her mom’s cooking, looking utterly moved and content.

Suddenly caught in the spotlight, Amanda jumped a little and gave an innocent explanation, “Uh… haven’t you and Mason basically been glued together these days?

“Honestly… I just think, Sienna, you and Mason are engaged anyway. If you really like him, why not just be

upfront about it? Why pretend like nothing’s going on?

“While you’re sneaking around, enjoying your secret happiness, everyone else is worried sick about you.”

She spoke with such sincerity, like she genuinely cared.

It almost came off as pure concern for Sienna.

But between the lines, she was calling out the very subject the Cooper family had all been trying their best to ignore.

“Amanda!” Pansy snapped, her voice sharp with annoyance, a clear frown on her face.

Amanda looked like she just realized she’d blurted out too much, quickly clapping her hands over her mouth, doe–eyed and utterly panicked, trying to look as innocent as possible.

Sienna gently reached out and held onto Pansy’s arm, calm and reassuring.

Pansy had already stood up for her without a second thought–she didn’t even care about Amanda’s pride when she sent Beatriz packing from the main house.

That kind of unconditional favoritism–having someone truly on her side–was already more than enough.

Sienna knew when to let it go without pushing too hard.

Pansy had kept calling Amanda out because of her, and did it too many times. It was understandable if Pansy started feeling guilty toward Amanda.

Sienna flicked her gaze toward Amanda, her eyes sharp and chilly. “So you do realize I’m the one actually betrothed to Mason, right?”

She let out a dry little laugh, her lips curving into a sly, mocking smirk. “Honestly, with the way you’re talking, anyone would think you’re Mason’s real girlfriend here, grilling me like some jealous queen.”

“I… I’m not! That’s not what I meant!” Amanda blurted out, flustered and suddenly pale, feeling totally exposed in front of the whole family.

‘Sienna’s really getting out of hand now–just because everyone’s siding with her, she’s acting more and more arrogant!‘ Amanda thought bitterly.

‘She’s willing to make me look bad, right in front of everyone, again and again. Doesn’t care about my dignity

at all!‘

Amanda bit her lower lip, batting her innocent eyes at Sienna as if she was the one being accused. “I just… I saw how down Mom and Dad were these past few days because you haven’t been home. Honestly, it breaks my heart seeing them like that… so I just thought I’d remind you.”

“You told everyone you were heading to the research lab, but you never even went. That just made everyone

extra worried…”

The more she talked, the more pitiful she sounded, and now her freshly patched–up eye makeup was already

Sienna couldn’t care less about Amanda’s crocodile tears.

She gave Amanda a chilly sideways glance, lazily leaning back in her chair like a queen. Though she looked relaxed, the pressure in her presence was impossible to ignore. “You know whether I was at the research lab or not? What now? You got some kind of special access to go inside and check up on me yourself?”

Amanda’s face fell.
