Chapter 96: A Complete Break with the Everett Family! Never Forgive

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: A Complete Break with the Everett Family! Never Forgive

When Shannon heard this, she was secretly stunned for a moment.

’Sienna’s biological mother really doesn’t love her at all.’

’To go so far as to dig up dirt on Sienna and lead others to cyberbully her.’

Upon hearing this, Mason Everett’s coolly detached expression didn’t flicker. He nodded calmly. "Alright, I’ll go look for it now."

Lucas Everett snorted coldly. "Hurry up and find something, Big Bro. I can’t wait to see that damned girl Sienna get flamed online. Let’s see if she dares to bully Shannon ever again!"

Miles Everett frowned, seeming to think this wasn’t right, but he didn’t object in the end.

They searched for a whole day and night.

Mason Everett was appalled. To his shock, he couldn’t find a single piece of dirt on Sienna!

After returning to the Everett family, every single thing she had done was to curry favor with the Everetts, humbly trying to earn a sliver of their affection.

Sheila Whitaker’s brow furrowed. "No, I don’t believe it. How could that wretched girl be so kind? She must have done something in secret; we just haven’t found it yet."

Morgan Everett let out a disdainful snort. "That damned girl really knows how to hide things, making it seem as if our family actually mistreated her."

Shannon bit her lip. ’Sienna... had no dirt on her whatsoever.’

’Then how were they supposed to get people online to attack Sienna?’

’How was she supposed to clear her own name?’

However, Shannon didn’t need to waste her energy coming up with a scheme.

Sheila Whitaker turned to Mason. "Mason," she began, "since we can’t find any dirt on that damned girl, can’t you just fabricate some?"

Shannon’s eyes widened in shock.

’Fabricate dirt...’

’A biological mother fabricating dirt on her own daughter, just so others would cyberbully her...’

After her initial shock, Shannon couldn’t help but smile.

’Oh, Sienna, Sienna... How can you possibly compete with me?’

’The mother you respect and admire most doesn’t have a single shred of love for you.’

Hearing such a bizarre request, Mason Everett’s expression remained unchanged. He felt not a shred of pity for his own sister, Sienna. He simply said, "No need to fabricate anything. There’s surveillance footage from the living room. I’ll have someone edit it; that’ll be enough to twist the truth."

In less than two hours, Mason Everett posted a video online, just over ten seconds long.

The video showed Sienna Everett in the Everett family living room, pushing her mother, Sheila Whitaker, with her own hands, mercilessly shoving her down onto the sofa.

At the same time, Mason Everett posted on X:

[Sienna Everett severing ties with the Everett family isn’t as simple as it seems.

Wyatt and Dustin did do things to wrong Sienna, but the rest of us in the Everett family did not!

And yet, Sienna pushed her own mother. Is someone like that even fit to be a daughter?]

The moment the video was released, public opinion erupted once more.

At first, people online were skeptical, believing Sienna wouldn’t do something so disrespectful.

But after some tech-savvy users analyzed it, they confirmed the video wasn’t spliced or faked—it was real.

With that, the entire internet was in an uproar.

Pushing your own mother, making her fall—such an act was simply unacceptable.

That’s your mother! The woman who carried you for nine months and went through the pain of childbirth, and you just pushed her over.

The users who had originally supported Sienna gradually began to waver.

「Veridian Gardens.」

Sienna was sitting on the living room sofa browsing online gossip when she came across the video. She froze for a second, then a look of irony flickered in her exquisite eyes.

’The video wasn’t fake, that much was true.’

’But it had been edited to remove all context!’

What had actually happened was that Morgan Everett had picked up an ashtray to throw at her. But with his failing eyesight, his aim was off, and he nearly hit Sheila Whitaker instead.

Sienna had pushed Sheila out of the way to protect her from being hit by the ashtray.

’She never thought Mason would twist even that into a weapon against her.’

’Trying to clear the Everett family’s name?’

’Trying to make the Everett Group’s stock price recover?’

A sarcastic smile touched Sienna’s lips. ’Mason, you’ll need more than that to pull it off.’

’If Mason were smart, he would have deleted the original video.’

’Still, it wouldn’t be hard for her to find the original.’

Just then, Julian Forrester came home from the office.

The man wore a crisp white shirt that outlined his elegant waist.

He raised a hand to loosen his tie, crossing to Sienna with long strides.

Sienna, still on the sofa, looked up at him with her bright eyes. "What is it?"

Julian Forrester lowered his gaze, extending his right hand toward her. His long, pale fingers held a black flash drive.

Sienna blinked. "What’s this?"

The man’s voice was cool and clear. "The original video."

Sienna was speechless.

’It’s not like I asked for his help.’

Julian Forrester pressed the flash drive into her soft palm, his voice low and husky. "Just let me help you this once, hmm?"

Sienna was speechless.

Sienna pursed her crimson lips, shot him a haughty glance, and took the flash drive.

Then she grabbed a laptop and plugged in the drive.

She clicked play on the original video file.

It was the surveillance footage from the living room, showing the full sequence of events—

Morgan Everett grabbed the ashtray to hit Sienna’s head but missed. The ashtray went flying toward Sheila Whitaker, and Sienna, in a rush to protect her, shoved her out of the way.

The video showed the whole truth.

Sienna’s lips curled into a smile. ’Let’s see how Mason tries to twist the truth now.’

Sienna didn’t immediately release the truth. First, she went online to check the situation.

In that short time, Sheila Whitaker had already given an interview to reporters.

In the interview, Sheila Whitaker tearfully wiped her eyes. "After we brought Sienna back to the family, I always wanted to make up for the affection she lacked growing up. I never expected that Sienna would..."

"Perhaps I didn’t do enough, which is why she grew to resent me and pushed me down..."

"Shannon may not be my biological daughter, but I watched her grow up. I know the kind of person she is."

"Shannon may have done some things to wrong Sienna, but she has always been so sensible and so dutiful to me. More dutiful, even, than my own biological daughter..."

After watching Sheila’s interview, Sienna quietly lowered her gaze and hugged her knees.

She closed her eyes, her long lashes trembling uncontrollably.

’So, it wasn’t just Mason who wanted to frame her. Her own biological mother was in on it, too.’

’Her own mother, lying in public, pinning undeserved blame on her.’

’Her own mother, leading the public to cyberbully and insult her.’

’Her own mother, putting her down while praising Shannon.’

’She had promised herself not to expect anything from the Everetts anymore.’

’But her heart still felt a sharp sting.’

’She had thought... her mother, the woman who gave birth to her, would be different...’

’She had thought that even if her mother didn’t like her, even if she hated her, she would never be so cruel to her own flesh and blood.’

’It turned out she was wrong.’

’Nothing was different at all...’

Sienna gripped the flash drive in her hand. ’Since this is how it is, then she would break ties with the Everett family. Completely and forever!’
