Chapter 46: Sienna, Third Brother Was Wrong

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Sienna, Third Brother Was Wrong

Wyatt Everett remembered it very clearly. When he woke up in the hospital back then, Shannon Everett had told him she was the one who saved him, adding that Sienna Everett had run off by herself.

He already despised Sienna Everett at the time, so Shannon Everett’s words made his disgust for her reach a new level. For a solid month, he shut Sienna Everett out, refusing to even see her face.

’Thinking back now, during that month, was Sienna Everett trying to explain things to me? Was she trying to tell me the truth?’

’And I, because I believed Shannon Everett’s one-sided story, refused to see Sienna Everett. I even said the sight of her face was so nauseating it made me want to throw up.’

’How helpless and desperate must Sienna Everett have felt back then?’

’She risked her life to pull me out of danger, enduring such hardship to save me, only to be treated so unjustly afterward, without any regard for the facts. How utterly desolate and hurt must Sienna Everett have felt?’

All of this was because Shannon Everett had lied to him!

Shannon Everett had not only stolen Sienna Everett’s credit and painted herself as the good sister, but she had also turned around and slandered her!

"Shannon Everett, how can you be so venomous! You’re worse than an animal!"

Wyatt Everett’s face was ashen with rage as he glared at her, his eyes practically bursting from their sockets.

"Wyatt, I didn’t mean to lie. I was just so scared at the time..."

Tears streamed down Shannon Everett’s face as she stepped forward to grab Wyatt Everett’s sleeve.

"Wyatt, I know I was wrong. I know what I did wasn’t right... I was just afraid you’d be disappointed in me. I was so scared of losing you as my brother..."

In the past, hearing these words from Shannon Everett would have made Wyatt Everett’s heart ache, and he would have forgiven her in an instant.

But now.

"Shannon Everett!" Wyatt Everett cut her off, his rage boiling over. "You’re still making excuses! How can you even face Sienna Everett?!"

SLAP!

Wyatt Everett slapped her again.

A red, swollen mark appeared on the other side of Shannon Everett’s face, and she cried until her eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing this, none of the onlookers dared to step forward and intervene.

Although Shannon Everett had brought this crowd with her, her actions were so shocking they completely shattered everyone’s perception of her.

The crowd’s whispers didn’t cease, and they made no effort to hide them from Shannon Everett.

"Damn, how long has Wyatt Everett been kept in the dark about this?"

"I always thought Sienna Everett had selfishly run away back then. I can’t believe the one who actually fled was Shannon Everett!"

"Damn it, her ability to twist the truth is on another level! To paint herself as some great hero while slandering Sienna Everett like that... how shameless can you get!"

"If you ask me, Sienna Everett is the real victim here! What did she ever do to deserve this? She was the one who saved him, but she ended up having her name dragged through the mud!"

"Did no one in the Everett Family believe her? I mean, she’s the family’s true daughter, Wyatt Everett’s biological sister, isn’t she?"

"Holy shit, I’m suddenly starting to understand why Sienna Everett cut ties with the Everett Family..."

Hearing their discussion, Wyatt Everett was too ashamed to argue. They were right. He had been such an asshole back then, believing Shannon Everett’s lies without question.

’But... Sienna Everett is my real sister!’

’I have to find her.’

’I have to go find Sienna Everett!’

’I have to win back my real sister!’

Wyatt Everett immediately looked toward the lakeshore, only to see the backs of Sienna Everett and Keith Sterling as they stood up and walked away, their faces impassive.

A sharp pain pierced Wyatt Everett’s heart. Without a second thought, he started running after them.

"Wyatt!" Seeing this, Shannon Everett immediately reached out to block him.

’No, I can’t let Wyatt go to Sienna.’

’If Wyatt goes to Sienna, with how desperate she is for family affection, she’ll definitely forgive him after just a few words.’

’At that point, Wyatt will definitely bring Sienna back to the Everett Family.’

’If Sienna returns to the Everett Family, will there still be any place left for me?’

The thought made Shannon Everett’s scalp tingle with dread. She quickly cried out, "Wyatt, I’ll go apologize to her myself! I shouldn’t have done it! I’m the one who wronged her!"

However, Wyatt Everett had no patience for her nonsense. "Get the hell out of my way!"

Wyatt Everett cursed and shoved Shannon Everett aside.

Shannon Everett staggered back from the push, lost her balance, and fell to the ground with a THUD.

Shannon Everett froze, stunned. As she watched Wyatt Everett frantically run after Sienna Everett, tears began to stream down her face.

’Wyatt actually pushed me to the ground... He didn’t even spare me a glance.’

’Wyatt has never treated me like this before...’

「Meanwhile.」

Sienna Everett and Keith Sterling walked away from the lakeshore together.

Thinking of the video that had just played on the large screen, Sienna Everett was still deeply moved. The truth from all those years ago was finally out in the open.

It was just that she had looked for that video for a long time without any success.

’How did it suddenly get played?’

Moreover, Shannon Everett had tried to shut it off several times and failed, as if someone was forcing it to play.

Sienna Everett suddenly remembered what Keith Sterling had said a short while ago: "Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. My brother said he’s treating you to a good show today."

’Could it be...’

A sudden realization dawned on Sienna Everett, her eyes widening in surprise. "This video... was it Julian Forrester who found it?"

Keith Sterling raised an eyebrow smugly, eager to sing his brother’s praises. "That’s right! My brother spent days investigating before he finally found it! He even had to mobilize his intelligence division!"

"Now everything’s great. Your name is finally cleared, Sister-in-law! So, what do you think? Was today’s show a good one?"

Sienna Everett’s long, delicate eyelashes fluttered as a wave of emotion washed over her.

’So it was... Julian Forrester who found it for me.’

’It was Julian Forrester who helped clear my name.’

Back then, after rescuing Wyatt Everett, she had lost too much blood and fallen into a coma. When she finally woke up, Shannon Everett had already taken all the credit.

She had tried to tell Wyatt Everett the truth, but he refused to even see her.

She told the rest of the Everett Family the truth, but they chose to believe Shannon Everett, thinking Sienna was lying and trying to steal her sister’s thunder.

Not a single person believed Sienna Everett.

Sienna Everett had fallen into a deep despair. She remembered there might have been a security camera in the room where the kidnappers held them. She tried to find the footage, only to learn it had been utterly destroyed. Even the kidnappers had been silenced for good. All the evidence that could have proven her innocence was gone.

She never imagined that today, Julian Forrester would actually manage to find and restore the footage from that destroyed security camera.

Sienna Everett quickly put two and two together. "So, this trip to the resort... it was all planned in advance?"

Keith Sterling’s lips curved into a smile. "To tell you the truth, Sister-in-law, this resort is one of the Forresterer Group’s properties. So, the moment Shannon Everett and Wyatt Everett made plans to come here, the manager reported it to my brother."

"As for Shannon Everett, she was trying to get on Wyatt Everett’s good side, so she edited a ’heartwarming’ family video and asked the resort to provide a large screen to play it. Since the screen was already set up, it would have been a waste to just play one video, wouldn’t you agree, Sister-in-law?"

Sienna Everett: "..."

’So that’s how it was.’

Just as they were speaking, Wyatt Everett caught up, his face etched with grief. "Sienna!"
