She could still clearly remember what happened last time…

Matheo had flown into a rage because she’d crossed Easton. Though he helped clean up the mess in the end, the incident had left a thorn lodged deep in Julia’s heart.
She couldn’t afford to go against Easton, and Matheo wouldn’t help her deal with him. So if that terrifying driver today really had been sent by Easton, she’d just have to swallow her anger and take the hit….
“Dad, it was Jean…” Julia suddenly grabbed Matheo’s art, her voice tinged with urgency.
Matheo’s eyes flew open, a flicker of panic flashing through his pupils.
“What did you say? Jean… Jean… How do you know-“The name caught him off guard. Hearing Julia say it startled him so much he panicked, thinking maybe she had found out Jean was his other daughter.
Julia blinked, her eyes shimmering with tears. “Don’t you remember? The girl I was on that reality show with…”
“Oh… so that’s who…” Matheo quietly exhaled in relief. Jean–the one from the show with you, right?” His gaze drifted, his tone distracted and evasive.
Julia nodded firmly.
“It was probably her… I can’t think of anyone else who’d hate me this much.”
She didn’t actually know who was behind the scare today.
But that didn’t matter–she could use this to her advantage.
Blame it all on Jean.
She didn’t like Jean. She hated her with a passion.
And this was the perfect opportunity.
Julia wasn’t stupid.
Blaming Easton wouldn’t do anything–it wouldn’t hurt him in the slightest. It might even make Matheo
angry.
Jean, though… she was different.
She wanted Matheo to help her go after Jean.
“We didn’t get along on that show,” Julia bit her lip and said softly. “Today’s incident… it could very well be her revenge.”
Matheo lowered his eyes, staring at his daughter in silence.
No one knew what was going through his mind. His lips were pressed into a hard line, and it took a while before he finally spoke. “It was Jean, wasn’t it?”

“Alright. I’ll make sure you get justice.” Matheo’s words came out like a solemn promise, his voice firm and steady. A shadow passed through his eyes, his emotions unreadable.
To Matheo, there were sons he couldn’t afford to touch But this invisible daughter, the one the whole family barely acknowledged–surely he could handle her.
He couldn’t go up against Easton, but Jean? Taking her own would be easy.
Besides, he didn’t like her to begin with.
This time, he’d settle both old and new grudges.
“We’ll cut the trip short,” Matheo said gently, his tone carrying a hint of regret. “Let’s head back to Blairford.”
At the Ginger family estate,
Sienna was seated at her desk going through paperwork when the sharp ring of the telephone pierced the quiet.
She immediately looked up and picked up the receiver
Whatever the person on the other end said, Sienna listened calmly, her face blank and unreadable.
After about thirty seconds, she finally spoke in a lazy, detached tone. “You did well. As we agreed, go lay low abroad for a while. I’ll have the money in your account within the day.”
With that, she hung up.
She placed the receiver back on its stand, and the corners of her lips curved into a cold, sharp smile.
