Chapter 53
As soon as she entered the door, she saw the whole family surrounding Sienna, excitedly talking about something.
In the hall, a news broadcast played on a giant TV screen. “The national security department has successfully solved a major overseas spy case and arrested several criminals attempting to steal core state secrets.
“Miss Cooper and Mr. Brown played a key and decisive role in this operation, and are rewarded for their outstanding contributions.”
‘Miss Cooper? Mr. Brown?’
Amanda was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Sienna.
Surrounded by the family like a shining star, Sienna held an honor certificate stamped with a bright national emblem and a glittering medal, a faint smile on her lips, as she accepted everyone’s praise.
The honor certificate and medal in Sienna’s hand were the same as those being displayed in the news, which had been personally delivered by the Ministry of National Defense to Miss Cooper and Mr. Brown, who had made outstanding contributions to the country!
Amanda couldn’t help but think, ‘The Miss Cooper in the news is Sienna?’
‘Sienna made outstanding contributions to the country and solved a spy case?
‘How is that possible?
‘How could a country girl like her have the ability to participate in the country’s investigation?’
Amanda was completely dumbfounded.
Everyone in the Cooper family was excited when they saw the honor certificate and the shiny medal.
They knew Sienna was amazing, but they didn’t expect her to be so outstanding!
She had been busy these days, working like a top.
Was she working for the country?
And she had been doing such a great job!
It concerned national secrets, so they didn’t know what great things Sienna had done, but the greatest honor was more than enough to show that Sienna had made huge contributions!
“Good! Good child! Sienna, you are the pride of the Cooper family!” Rolf was in tears, his eyes filled with unprecedented pride.
“Sienna, you are a hero of the country and the pride of your parents!” Gerard and Pansy’s eyes were red as they hugged Sienna tightly.

“Serving the country and bringing glory to our family, Sienna, you truly deserve this honor.” Theo smiled gently.
Everyone surrounded Sienna, offering sincere praise.
Pansy noticed Amanda’s return and quickly waved her over. “Amanda, come here. Come and take a look. Sienna has received a national reward!”
Amanda bit her lower lip and walked over.
The honor certificate in Sienna’s hand stung her eyes.
She was green with envy, but she had to force a smile and say, “Sienna, you’re amazing. Congratulations.”
Sienna raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze falling on Amanda’s face, which was doing its best to hide but still revealed some unwillingness. Her red lips curled into a smile that seemed mocking and sarcastic.
She raised her hand, making sure Amanda could see the certificate and medal in her hand more clearly, and smiled, “Do you want to know why I could win this honor?”
She curved her lips, and her pure and aloof aura added a bit of vividness and glamour to her smile, making it dazzling.
Sienna said, “Speaking of which, I really have to thank the person who stole my laptop.”
Amanda’s eyelids twitched, and her fingers clenched subconsciously.
She thought, ‘What does Sienna mean?
‘What does the national honor have to do with her laptop?’
“I don’t know how my laptop got lost, but it turned out to be bait to lure the enemy out of their hiding places, allowing those spies with ulterior motives and the people from Baletin who tried to steal Aurathen’s secrets to walk right into our trap.”
As she spoke, Sienna shook the honor certificate and medal in her hand, smiling. “I didn’t expect my luck to be so good. Maybe it’s because I’m back home, and you all bring me good luck.”
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Amanda’s head to buzz and her vision to go black.
She gritted her teeth. ‘What is Sienna talking about?
‘She won the nation’s highest honor because of her laptop?
“That laptop I gave to Jaden?
“That means I’m the one who deserves national honors!
‘This honor certificate and this medal should have belonged to me!
‘I should have been sitting there, enjoying the family’s praise and the attention of everyone!
‘Sienna stole all the glory that should have belonged to me!’
Amanda was trembling with anger, and her frustration and unwillingness were about to overflow.
As Sienna spoke, her family members praised her one after another.
“Luck is also a form of ability. This honor should have belonged to you.”
“Sienna, you’re too modest. You must have relied on more than just a laptop to receive national honors.”
Those praises and affectionate words seemed to turn into real sharp blades, piercing Amanda’s heart fiercely.
She was so pissed that she was about to explode.
She was the one who deserved to be praised!
She was the one who actually sent the laptop out and helped the country solve the spy case!
But could she say it?
Could she jump out and say that she was the one who took Sienna’s laptop?
No!
Not only could she not say anything, but she also had to pretend that she didn’t know anything, forcing a smile and congratulating Sienna with her family!
That made Amanda feel like a complete joke!
She tried so hard to expose Sienna’s true colors and let the Cooper family see that Sienna was a liar, but it turned out that Sienna received the highest national honor!
