Chapter 143: The Real Family Appears?

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: The Real Family Appears?

In the past, if Mason Everett had heard people talking about Shannon Everett like this, he would have rushed forward to defend her long ago.

But now, Mason stood there, motionless, as if he couldn’t hear Shannon being cursed, nor could he see her current humiliating and wretched state.

His eyes could only see one person.

He could only see Sienna Everett, a devastatingly beautiful figure in the crowd.

Everyone else was a blur; only Sienna was in sharp focus.

That was his biological sister.

The scornful and mocking gazes from the crowd felt like needles on Mason’s back, becoming unbearable. He desperately wanted to turn and run, to escape this place.

But his eyes remained uncontrollably fixed on Sienna.

At that moment, Sienna was surrounded by reporters, who were bombarding her with one question after another.

One reporter finally voiced a question that had been on their mind for a long time: "Sienna Everett, you’ve always designed womenswear and never menswear. Will you consider designing menswear in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Evan Shelby also glanced at Sienna, equally curious.

As if a thought occurred to her, Sienna’s thick, raven-black lashes lowered. She let out a soft laugh, one that was breathtakingly beautiful.

She said, "I won’t be publicly designing menswear in the future."

The reporters were all sharp and immediately seized on the key point. "Not designing publicly? Does that mean you’ll be designing menswear privately?"

"Wow! Which lucky man will have the honor of Master Kian designing menswear exclusively for him? Sienna Everett, is it someone very important to you?"

Sienna’s clear eyes shimmered, sparkling with a gem-like light. Her lips were moist and cherry-red. "I’m sorry, I can’t answer that."

Evan Shelby understood in a flash.

’Oh-ho, no need to guess. It must be for that child husband of hers!’

’Putting lovers before friends, really. And here I thought I was Sienna’s best partner. She’s never even designed menswear for me!’

The reporters at the scene were livestreaming the entire banquet online.

Netizens had been dying of curiosity, desperate to see what Kian looked like in person.

Then, on the livestream, they saw it: Sienna Everett was Kian.

The onlooking netizens: ???!!!!

Holy shit!

’You’re the master designer SG, and you’re Kian, too...’

’Sienna Everett, do you have to be so ridiculously talented?!’

#SiennaEverettIsKian#

#ShannonEverettStoleSiennaEverettsDesigns#

These two topics quickly shot to the top of the trending lists on all platforms. The #SiennaEverettIsKian# topic, in particular, completely blew up.

Unable to contain their burning curiosity any longer, the netizens rushed to follow Sienna.

Sienna’s follower count was skyrocketing at an incredible speed, gaining tens of thousands with every refresh and completely shattering follower-growth records!

Meanwhile, the banquet came to an end.

Sienna and Evan Shelby left the banquet hall together.

Mason’s gaze had been following Sienna the entire time. The moment he saw her leave, he started to chase after her without a second thought.

But Shannon reached out to stop him, tears clinging to her lashes as she cried pitifully. "Brother, the reporters are all reporting that I stole the design drafts..."

’My reputation is completely ruined this time.’

’There’s no coming back from this.’

’No, I can’t stand it!’

Shannon’s eyes were red with anxiety, her voice thick with tears. "Brother..."

However, before Shannon could finish, Mason turned to her with a blank expression.

Shannon’s heart lurched. She felt nervous and uneasy.

Looking at his eyes, she couldn’t tell if he meant her well or harm...

Mason’s face was cold and expressionless. Lacking even the patience to speak to Shannon, he gave her a forceful shove, pushing her aside.

Wearing high heels, Shannon lost her balance and fell to the ground with a THUD.

But Mason didn’t spare her a single glance. As if desperate to catch someone, he hurried towards the exit of the banquet hall.

Sprawled humiliatingly on the ground in full public view, Shannon’s first instinct wasn’t even to get up. Instead, she stared in disbelief at Mason’s departing back.

’Mason didn’t listen to me, he ignored my tears, and he even pushed me down...?’

’Has he gone insane?!’

At the exit, Mason finally caught up to Sienna. He ran in front of her, and just as he was about to speak, he met her eyes, which were filled with a cold disgust.

The words died in his throat.

Sienna had no desire to deal with Mason and left with Evan Shelby.

Mason turned around in a daze, watching Sienna’s back as she walked away. His legs felt as heavy as lead, impossible to lift.

’That look she just gave me... so cold, so full of disgust. It was as if even looking at me would dirty her eyes.’

’Of course. How could Sienna not hate me?’

’I was once so vile I tried to send my own sister to prison.’

’What reason would she have *not* to hate me?’

Cowardice took hold of Mason, and he didn’t dare to follow. His heart felt as if it were being gnawed by ants, and for the first time, a wave of regret washed over him.

Mason stood motionless, like a statue, staring in the direction Sienna had gone.

In truth, she was long gone, her figure no longer visible, but still he stood there, gazing blankly into the distance.

People came and went around him, but he alone remained perfectly still.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Mason finally moved, walking out onto the street in a daze.

It was late, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Only the headlights of cars whizzing past and the flashing neon signs from the storefronts illuminated his dejected, miserable face.

He wandered numbly, crossing the street in a stupor, not even noticing when he was almost hit by a car.

The driver screamed a torrent of curses, but Mason was completely oblivious.

’It’s over. It’s all over.’

’The Everett Family’s fashion brand is finished.’

’The Everett Family’s entertainment company will never recover either.’

’And my sister, Sienna... She... She...’

At some point, it began to rain.

Mason was soaked to the bone, his wet clothes clinging heavily to his body, but he didn’t seek shelter. He just kept walking in a daze.

「At the same time, on a certain island abroad, the weather was bright and sunny.」

Inside a villa on the island.

A butler ran hurriedly into the living room, looked at the handsome man in the wheelchair, and reported with pleasant surprise, "Second Young Master, G.Y.’s head designer, Kian, has made a public appearance! There are pictures of her online now!"

The man in the wheelchair was exceptionally handsome, with exquisite features, but it seemed there was something wrong with his legs.

After hearing the butler’s report, the man picked up the phone beside him.

’His mother was very fond of G.Y.’s clothes and had always wanted to meet the head designer. Unfortunately, the designer was quite mysterious and never met with anyone.’

’Now, she had finally made a public appearance.’

The man found a photo of Kian online, but the next second, as he saw the dazzlingly beautiful girl in the picture, his pupils constricted. A faint look of confusion and astonishment crossed his face.

’This girl named Sienna Everett...’

’Her eyes and brows... they bear a slight resemblance to Mother’s...’

’He had a sister who went missing as a child. Could it be...?’

The man stared unblinkingly at Sienna’s photo for a long moment before saying to the butler in a low voice, "Send someone to Celestria to investigate this Kian’s background."

The butler stood with his hands respectfully at his sides. "Yes, Second Young Master."

But the man suddenly changed his mind, his gaze turning deep and dark. "Never mind. I’ll go to Celestria myself."
