Headlines like these were popping up everywhere.

As the buzz grew, Sienna Everett’s follower count on X swelled to several hundred thousand.

Sienna’s fans were ecstatic, celebrating with great fanfare.

The hashtag #SiennaEverettSignsSovereignEntertainment# quickly shot to the top of the trending charts.

The Everett also saw this sensational news.

Wyatt Everett’s expression turned grave. He had been trying to contact Sienna Everett for the past two days, but she’d blocked his number. He didn’t know where she was living and had no way of finding her.

A belated sense of worry crept over Wyatt Everett. ’Where has Sienna been since she left the Everett family? Does she even have a place to stay?’

Shannon Everett bit her lip, her voice gentle and sweet. "Sienna actually signed with Sovereign Entertainment... I’m so happy for her. She’ll definitely have a great career ahead of her."

Wyatt Everett nodded thoughtfully. "Perhaps."

He suddenly realized that ever since leaving the Everett family, it was as if Sienna had been reborn. She was showing her true brilliance, and her life was getting better and better.

’But the Everett family has an entertainment company. Why wouldn’t Sienna sign with her own family’s company, and instead sign with an outsider like Sovereign Entertainment?’

’Had the Everett family... really treated Sienna so poorly...?’

Shannon Everett’s heart dropped when she heard Wyatt’s reply.

’Before, Wyatt would have surely comforted her and torn into Sienna.’

’But now, he just gave a noncommittal nod and agreed that Sienna would have a good career.’

Shannon’s sense of alarm grew stronger.

Fortunately, just then, a call came in from Mason Everett.

Mason Everett was at the office handling work when he saw the news about Sienna Everett signing with Sovereign Entertainment. He immediately called Shannon.

"Shannon, don’t read too much into it. Even though our family’s entertainment company isn’t as successful as Sovereign Entertainment, your fifth brother is one of our own artists and a huge star. I’ll have him help you out in the future; it’ll be just as good."

Shannon replied obediently, "Brother, thank you all for supporting me."

Mason Everett gave a faint smile. "Silly girl, we’re family, no need to thank us. I can tell that our Shannon was born to be a superstar. You’re going to be a huge hit one day. That Sienna Everett... how could she possibly compare to you?"

Shannon was secretly overjoyed, but she put on a modest expression. "Brother, please don’t say that. Sienna is much better than I am."

At the mention of Sienna Everett, Mason’s tone turned cold and indifferent. "Shannon, you’re just too lenient with her. You let her become this spoiled and arrogant, throwing a tantrum and running away from home. And now she’s publicly severing ties with the Everett family online, which has directly impacted the Everett Group’s stock price."

Mason Everett was a businessman in charge of the Everett Group, and he valued profit above all else.

With Sienna Everett publicly severing ties with the family and causing the Everett Group’s stock to drop, how could he possibly be happy?

"Brother, please don’t be angry. I’m sure Sienna didn’t mean it. She’s just throwing a little fit."

"I’ll talk to her again later. I’ll definitely convince her to come back to the Everett family of her own accord..."

Hearing Shannon say this, Wyatt Everett’s brow furrowed unconsciously.

’Something about Shannon’s words felt strange to him. It was as if she were subtly accusing Sienna of being nothing but a brat throwing a tantrum, just to make herself look magnanimous and mature...’

’Was he just overthinking it?’

Shannon hung up with Mason and, noticing Wyatt staring at her, immediately broke into a cute smile. "What are you looking at, Third Brother?"

"Nothing..." Wyatt Everett shook his head, unwilling to say more.

...

After the press conference, Sienna Everett returned to Veridian Gardens and received a congratulatory message from Isabelle Sutton.

"Congratulations, Sienna! Signing with Sovereign Entertainment is amazing! You’re definitely going to be a huge star!"

Sienna Everett smiled warmly and replied sincerely, "Thank you, Isabelle."

’She and Isabelle Sutton had only met during the "Dancing National Style" competition, but the younger girl had a great personality and was very loyal.’

Sienna was naturally happy to have a friend like her.

Just as she finished replying to Isabelle Sutton’s message, her phone rang.

It was a call from an unknown number.

Sienna was puzzled for a moment, but she swiped to answer. "Hello?"

The other end was silent for a few seconds before Wyatt Everett’s strained voice came through. "Sienna Everett, it’s me. When are you going to unblock my number!"

Sienna was speechless. She pulled the phone away from her ear to glance at the screen.

’Unbelievable. Wyatt had actually gotten a new number just to call her.’

"Sienna, I saw the news today. You signed with Sovereign Entertainment? Where are you living? Did you find a place to stay after leaving the Everett family? Or are you really with the Forresters..."

Sienna couldn’t be bothered to listen and hung up.

’What is wrong with Wyatt? Has he lost his mind?’

’He even resorted to calling her from a new number.’

Sienna blocked the new number without a second thought.

’Nothing good ever comes from getting involved with The Everett.’

Seeing his number blocked again, Wyatt Everett was so angry he nearly smashed his phone.

’She blocked me again?’

’Couldn’t she even let me finish a sentence?!’

「A few days later.」

To celebrate Sienna Everett signing with Sovereign Entertainment, Keith Sterling took her to a resort, with the company covering all expenses.

The moment Sienna Everett heard the company was footing the bill, she readily agreed.

Keith Sterling lifted his chin, a wide grin on his face as he winked at her. "Sister-in-law, I forgot to tell you—my brother is going to the resort, too. After all, he’s the big boss. We couldn’t possibly go without him!"

Sienna Everett: "..."

「At the resort.」

Keith Sterling first led Sienna Everett to her accommodations, swiping a key card to open the door. "My brother is still at the office; he’ll be here later. So, check out the room. You and my brother will be staying here tonight."

Sienna Everett: "???"

’What? She was supposed to sleep with Julian Forrester tonight?’
