Jean didn’t say anything more. She simply grabbed Mindy’s hand and pulled her straight out of the law
firm.
Mindy’s eyes widened in confusion. She didn’t fully understand what hajust happened until Jean had dragged her out onto the bustling street. Finally, she opened her mouth uncertainly. “Kid, did you say…. you’re going to find the best lawyer?”
Jean nodded firmly.
Her lips curled into a confident smile. “Ma’am, just leave the lawyer business to me. I promise, I’ll find the best lawyer in all of Blairford for Asher- and I’ll make that arrogant Mr. Lwain get down on his knees and apologize to you.”
Mindy stared blankly at the bright–eyed, sharp–looking girl in front of her.
This child… She seemed to radiate a kind of strength that didn’t match her young age.
Mindy pressed her lips together. She didn’t take Jean’s words as a childish boast or empty bragging.
For some reason, this child exuded a kind of magic- a force that made people believe her.
“Okay. I’ll trust you,” Mindy said, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
After saying goodbye to Mindy, Jean called for the Ginger family’s driver. Before long, she was back at the Ginger family home.
When she arrived, the living room was empty.
She caught a glimpse of the maids bustling in the kitchen, but there was no sign of Sienna.
Jean didn’t think much of it. She headed straight for the stairs- only to run right into Sienna, who was slowly coming down from upstairs, looking completely lost.
They nearly bumped into each other.
“Mom, you…” Jean blinked, frowning slightly as she caught the dazed, downcast look in Sienna’s eyes.
Sienna froze for a second, then forced herself to snap back to reality.
She immediately put on a smile. “Jean, you’re back?”
“Mom, what’s wrong? You looked really upset just now,” Jean said, ignoring Sienna’s attempt to change the subject.
Sienna lowered her eyes and shook her head.
It wasn’t exactly something small-
She had just received two pieces of news.

The people behind it hadn’t just caused the crash They had also chased Dominic through the forests of Northara, trying to capture him.When that failed, they even attempted to abduct Jean
Thankfully, none of it had succeeded.
But even after Carl mobilized the full force of the Night Watchers, he still couldn’t find the masterminds. All they uncovered were a few scattered traces- no real leads, no real anslis
She had thought about investigating it herself. But if even the Night Watchers couldn’t dig up the truth, her efforts would be pointless.
The feeling of being kept in the dark, toyed with by unseen enemies, left Sienna furious and frustrated.
At the same time, she had also received another piece of news.
Her spies had finally reported back on Matheo.
She had never believed Matheo’s excuse that he was off handling important business. So she had secretly sent people to keep an eye on him.
And sure enough, the findings were explosive.
Matheo had taken his mistress and their illegitimate daughter on a nice little vacation.
Not only that- he had stayed at properties under Sienna’s name.
Once again, he had shamelessly used her assets to pamper those two women.
The thought made Sienna sick.
She might not be able to kill Matheo outright just yet- but she was already starting to think about ways to make his life a living hell. To make sure that he, his mistress, and his daughter wouldn’t be living comfortably anytime soon.
Exactly how she would do it… She hadn’t decided yet.
“Mom?” Jean called again when she saw Sienna lapse into deep thought.
