Chapter 97: Making Sure the Everett Family Can Never Make a Comeback

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Making Sure the Everett Family Can Never Make a Comeback

Sienna Everett shut off the video of Sheila Whitaker’s interview, her face expressionless.

Suddenly, a warm hand wrapped around her shoulder, pulling her into a tender embrace.

Julian Forrester held her slender frame, his eyes overflowing with tenderness. "Sienna..."

Sienna Everett froze. She felt his warm, comforting embrace and listened to his strong, steady heartbeat, finding herself momentarily lost in his tenderness.

She had been separated from her family as a child and raised by her grandparents, and she had fantasized countless times about what it would be like to have parents.

When she saw other children with their parents, she would be secretly envious.

But after returning to the Everett family, she discovered that not all parents are the same.

Julian Forrester had grown up with Sienna Everett, so he knew just how much she had always yearned for her parents’ affection.

But the Everetts had trampled and crushed all her hopes...

A sinister glint appeared in the man’s eyes, and his arms tightened around Sienna Everett.

Sienna Everett paused, then hugged him back. A small smile touched her lips. "Julian Forrester, I’m fine."

’Right now, I just want to live my own life.’

’Whether the Everett family flourished or crumbled, she wouldn’t give them a second glance.’

A moment later, her phone rang. It was a call from Stella Shaw.

Sienna Everett swiped to answer. "Hello, Ophelia."

Stella Shaw was usually composed, but now she couldn’t hide her anxiety. "Sienna, have you seen what’s online? Mason Everett posted a video saying you personally pushed down your mo— pushed down Sheila Whitaker."

In the end, Stella Shaw couldn’t bring herself to say the word "mother."

First, Sienna Everett had already cut ties with the Everett family.

Second, she felt that someone like Sheila Whitaker didn’t deserve to be called a mother.

"I saw it," Sienna Everett replied.

Stella Shaw said decisively, "Sienna, I believe you would never do something like that. There must be more to this story."

Sienna Everett’s heart warmed at her words. She smiled. "Thanks, Ophelia, but I really did push Sheila Whitaker."

Stella Shaw: "?"

Sienna Everett explained succinctly, "There was a reason. I pushed Sheila Whitaker because an ashtray was flying at her. I quickly pushed her out of the way so she wouldn’t get hit."

Stella Shaw understood instantly. "So the video Mason Everett released was edited to remove the context?"

"Sienna, public opinion online has been completely skewed. Mason Everett must have hired trolls to control the narrative. Now everyone is saying that the reason you cut ties with the Everett family and why they don’t like you is all your own fault."

"Mason Everett’s move is an attempt to clear the Everett family’s name and whitewash Shannon Everett in the process. But don’t worry, Sienna. I’ll find a way to get the original video and vindicate you."

Sienna Everett’s eyes curved into a smile. "Ophelia, I’ve already found the original video."

Stella Shaw: "?"

What?

Stella Shaw thought she must have misheard. She took a deep breath and asked, "You’ve already found it?"

Sienna Everett glanced at Julian Forrester beside her and answered vaguely, "Yes. A friend helped me find it."

Stella Shaw pressed a hand to her forehead.

’Why does it feel like she’s completely useless as a manager?’

’Sienna Everett can handle everything herself.’

’What’s the point of even having a manager?’

Now that the truth was in hand, Stella Shaw relaxed. "So, should we post the original video online and clear your name?"

Sienna Everett’s gaze turned cold. "Ophelia, let’s not rush to post it online. We’ll hold a formal press conference tomorrow."

’Mason Everett wants to sling mud at me and whitewash the Everett family, doesn’t he?’

’Well, this time, I’ll make sure the Everett family and Mason Everett can never be whitewashed again.’

Seeing that Sienna had a plan, Stella Shaw agreed. "Alright. You have my full support."

After a two-second pause, Stella Shaw added in a slightly helpless tone:

"Sienna, those two brothers of yours, Wyatt Everett and Dustin Everett... they’ve been camping out at the entrance of Sovereign Entertainment since yesterday. It looks like they want to see you."

Wyatt Everett and Dustin Everett didn’t know where Sienna Everett lived, and since she had blocked their numbers, they had no way to contact her.

The only way the two could find Sienna was to wait pathetically outside her agency’s entrance.

They hoped they might be able to see her when she eventually came to the office.

Stella Shaw was at a loss for words. She had never seen such a tactic before.

Two grown men, camping out at the company entrance like a pair of homeless beggars.

The whole thing was giving Stella Shaw a headache. "Sienna, your brothers are still camping out by the entrance. If this goes on, it’ll look bad. Should I have someone get rid of them?"

Sienna Everett’s expression was cold. "They’re not my brothers. Get rid of them."

Stella Shaw was slightly taken aback.

She had thought Sienna Everett’s stance might soften after Wyatt Everett and Dustin Everett showed their remorse.

Apparently not.

It seemed that no matter what, Sienna Everett would never forgive the Everetts.

Stella Shaw nodded, then, remembering Sienna Everett couldn’t see her over the phone, said aloud, "Okay, I’ll have them removed."

After hanging up, Stella Shaw called security and told them to remove Wyatt Everett and Dustin Everett from the entrance.

Then, she posted an announcement online stating that a press conference would be held the next day to address the incident involving Sienna Everett and Sheila Whitaker.

「At the Everett residence.」

When Mason Everett saw the announcement about the press conference, he sneered inwardly.

’He could guess what Sienna Everett was up to. The press conference was just a stage for her to deny pushing Sheila Whitaker.’

’But no matter how much she denies it, she can’t produce any evidence.’

’The original video has been completely destroyed. Not a single other copy exists in this world.’

In high spirits, Mason Everett poured himself a glass of red wine.

’Sienna Everett, your reputation is finished for good this time.’

’The Everett family and the Everett Group, on the other hand, will only become more and more successful.’

Mason Everett took a pleased sip of wine, monitoring the public reaction on his tablet. He had his PR department deploy their trolls to control the narrative, and unsuspecting netizens were already being swayed.

Online opinion was rapidly turning against Sienna Everett.

[See? I told you so. The fact that Sienna Everett cut ties with the Everett family and that they don’t like her—it must be her own fault!]

[Sheila Whitaker said in her interview that Shannon Everett is more filial than her own biological daughter. No wonder the Everetts prefer the fake heiress! If it were me, I’d also prefer a sweet and considerate daughter who looks after me!]

[My mom passed away two years ago, and I just can’t stand to see people be so unfilial. @SiennaEverett, how could you be so heartless! I can’t believe I used to like you just because you’re SG. I was so blind!]

Sienna Everett’s fans naturally came to her defense.

But there were too many hateful comments to fight back against.

The few users who urged for calm were immediately swarmed by Mason Everett’s trolls and attacked until they went silent.

Mason Everett watched the online drama unfold, then rose and walked out onto the balcony. "Mom, Shannon, look. Everything is proceeding just as I predicted."

Watching Sienna Everett get cyberbullied and insulted online, Sheila Whitaker felt not a shred of sadness.

"This is wonderful. Our Everett family’s reputation, and Shannon’s, will gradually improve. The Everett Group’s stock price will also start to recover."
