Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 403

Standing near the stairs, Sienna put away her phone and beheld Reyna. "What's the matter?"

"Listen up." Reyna held her chin high, her tone arrogant.

"First, give me the car keys. That's my car, so I'm taking it. Second, you've turned my family into total chaos. I'm warning you, stay away from Conner. He's my brother, and he's not related to you," was her speech.

Sienna was stunned as she listened to Reyna's words. In her eyes, Tania was a bad person, but she did not expect Reyna to take after the mother, only half- witted.

While shaking her head, Sienna chuckled softly. "Let's just wait for Conner."

She had not the slightest intention of arguing with Reyna. Rather, she simply wanted to wait for Conner to come and deal with Reyna.

"Why wait for him?" Reyna was stunned, her eyes wide. "You disagree with my terms? How dare you! On what grounds do you have any say in this?"

"Then on what grounds should I agree?" Sienna asked with a hint of ridicule. "Reyna, at least your mom knows how to fake it a little when she steals. But you? Just highway robbery."

"What does my mom have anything to do with this?" Reyna flared up. "What did she steal from you? You're nothing but nonsense!"

"Didn't you know?" Sienna arched a brow, her eyes sharp but her tone calm. "Your mom stole her husband. The same goes for your family's chain supermarkets."

To say that her voice was low and firm would be an understatement.

Sienna then added, "Forget that Conner only got me a car, even if he gave me the entire fortune of the Fischer family, I'd gladly accept it."

"Why, you!" Reyna was dumbfounded, pointing at Sienna in rage.

After a fleeting moment, she fumed, "Oh, so not even a car could satisfy your greed, huh? You even had your eye on our family's fortune! Sienna, you really are a bitch!"

A pucker marred Sienna's mien. She was surprised that compared to Tania, Reyna was truly a chip off the old block.

If anything, Sienna reckoned that there would be no reasoning whatsoever with somebody like Reyna.

Sienna could not care less about dealing with Reyna further. Glancing at the phone, she saw an incoming call from Conner, hence answering it, "Hello, Conner."

"Sienna." Conner could be heard anxious on the other end. "I'll be there in ten minutes. Are you okay? Reyna didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

On that note, Sienna glanced at Reyna. "No."

Then came Conner's suggestion. "Sienna, put the phone on speaker."

"Sure." Sienna turned on the speakerphone at Conner's behest.
