Sienna Johnson was quite furious. Lucas Robertson followed behind her, asking, "Miss, do you want me to teach her a lesson?"
Sienna stopped in her tracks. After a few seconds of eye contact, she understood what Lucas meant by "teach a lesson."
"No need. She’s just an insignificant person, not worth your effort."
Lucas glanced around and, seeing no one, shared what he had discovered. "Miss, you asked me to investigate Yvette Harris, and I have. Yvette is Sabrina Johnson’s biological mother. It was Yvette who swapped you and her own daughter all those years ago."
"She did it intentionally?"
"Yes." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
Sienna couldn’t comprehend Yvette’s actions. "Is Sabrina Johnson her biological daughter?"
"Then how could she bear to let her own daughter leave her side?"
With an expressionless face, Lucas explained to Sienna, "The Johnson Family is wealthy. Being a daughter of the Johnson Family offers a much better life than being the daughter of a prostitute."
"Yvette is a..." Sienna felt too embarrassed to say the word.
Sienna had witnessed Lucas’s investigative abilities before. Since he had told her this himself, she knew the information was accurate. She never could have imagined that such a mother existed in the world.
"Even if Curly Baby could become a princess, I still wouldn’t want her to leave me."
"Miss, not every woman is that kind-hearted."
"This isn’t a matter of kindness; even a vicious tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs..."
Sienna didn’t continue to ponder Yvette’s motives; she was more concerned about other matters. "Does Sabrina Johnson know?"
"Yes! Yvette and Sabrina identified each other ten years ago, though they’ve only grown closer in recent years."
Sienna lowered her gaze in thought, while Lucas stood quietly to the side, not disturbing her. He always strictly executed Sienna’s orders but never interfered with her decisions, even when they weren’t the most optimal.
Speak of the devil, Sabrina Johnson appeared.
Seeing Sabrina approaching from a distance, Sienna’s expression grew even darker. She said to Lucas, "I understand. Don’t reveal this matter for now."
"Sister..." Sabrina called Sienna’s name cheerfully. Whenever others were present, Sabrina loved to put on a show of deep sisterly affection, which thoroughly disgusted Sienna.
Sienna turned away, ignoring her completely.
Dinner had been cleared away, and both the Old Madam and Madam Johnson were present. The Old Madam already knew what had transpired outside. Seeing Sienna enter with an unhappy expression, she said nothing.
"Grandma, you must have seen what happened earlier. I originally intended to let them off the hook, but since they’ve escalated things to this point, I don’t plan on backing down anymore," Sienna informed her grandmother of her stance on dealing with Eric Johnson.
"The company is in your hands; you make the decisions on such matters," the Old Madam stated, showing her support.
Sienna felt a wave of relief. There were so many issues and significant resistance within the company; without her grandmother’s backing, her path would be even more arduous. "Thank you, Grandma," Sienna said gratefully.
"You’ve been very tired recently. Stay home and spend some quality time with your child."
Company affairs were indeed numerous, and the situation at the Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory was urgent, but Sienna still carved out a day to spend with her daughter. Children grow up so quickly. Sienna felt that Curly Baby would be grown in the blink of an eye, and she didn’t want to miss any part of her child’s development. Nothing was more important than Curly Baby.
"Grandma, Mom, I’m here." Sabrina approached gracefully, heading straight for Pauline Briggs.
Upon seeing her adopted daughter, Pauline’s tense expression softened into a smile. She beckoned Sabrina over and pulled her close. Their affectionate demeanor made it seem as if they were the true mother and daughter, a sight Sienna was long accustomed to.
"Sister, what was wrong just now? I called out to you; why did you ignore me?" Sabrina asked, feigning grievance.
Sienna truly didn’t want to waste her rare leisure time on such tedious people. If it weren’t for her grandmother residing at the Johnson family home, Sienna genuinely would have wanted to move out. Perhaps, when the time is right, she’ll bring it up.
"Grandma, I’m going upstairs."
Sienna picked up Curly Baby, who was blowing bubbles adorably. Sabrina, completely unfazed by Sienna’s cold demeanor, smiled and said, "Curly Baby has grown so much, she’s so cute. I adore her every time I see her. Why doesn’t her father come to visit her?"
"There really are such heartless men in this world. Sister, you and your child went missing, and he didn’t even bother to look for you."
"Sister, didn’t you say you have amnesia? Do you still have any impression of Curly Baby’s father? Poor Curly Baby, so young and already without a father... Sister, would you like my help finding Curly Baby’s father? Frederick Stewart is more than willing to help."
Every word from Sabrina struck a raw nerve with Sienna. Sienna looked at her coldly. Previously, Sabrina’s provocations would always anger her, but now she was much calmer.
"...My affairs are no concern of yours. Since Frederick Stewart is so capable, why don’t you have him help you find your birth mother? I imagine no mother in this world would be so heartless as to abandon her own child."
Sabrina’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
It seems Lucas’s investigation was entirely accurate, and Sabrina knows Yvette’s identity. Otherwise, her face wouldn’t have contorted like that.
A mother who’s a prostitute... If this gets out, Yvette will be ruined, the Stewart Family will lose all face, and Sabrina probably won’t have the time to keep running to the Johnson Family home anymore.
However, she hadn’t yet figured out the best way to play this trump card.
She wouldn’t waste such a strong hand out of a momentary fit of pique.
Sabrina Johnson, we’re not done yet!
Pauline touched her adopted daughter’s cold hand. Looking concerned, she chided Sienna, "Sienna, can’t you hold your tongue for once?"
"Madam Johnson, I’m truly curious what kind of person Sabrina’s biological mother is. To have raised a daughter like Sabrina, she must be quite the character."
"I’m genuinely curious. How about I use my resources to help you find her?"
"No need!" Sabrina retorted, overreacting.
Sabrina looked at Pauline, her expression aggrieved. "Mom, look at Sister... She always thinks I’m trying to harm her. We may not be blood-related, but we grew up together. How could I possibly harm her?"
"Is this about returning the favor? You offer to help me find Curly Baby’s father, so it’s only natural I offer to help you find your biological mother."
"Ever since I had Curly Baby, I especially can’t bear to see mothers and daughters separated. You don’t have children, so you wouldn’t understand that feeling. Your biological mother must be searching for you constantly, desperately wanting to find you and bring you back."
