Although Simon Forrester organized a team of hackers to deal with the negative content about Sienna Thornton surfacing online, posts accusing Sienna of being responsible for Nina Sinclair’s death continued to erge like ghosts from all corners of the internet.
So people even made videos, not only showing the engagent ceremony held by the Forrester Family for Nina and a certain Forrester at The Imperial Court Club, but also featuring photos of a certain Forrester entering and exiting apartnts with Sienna together.
The video directly accused Sienna Thornton of being a low-born howrecker with great ambitions, not only seducing a married partner at Vantage, ultimately leading to his divorce and his wife’s imprisonnt, but also of going after Nina’s fiancé, a certain Forrester, when the married partner refused to marry her, and even harboring desires to enter the entertainnt industry after taking him.
The video included edited footage of Sienna’s past appearances on the show "Lawyer Speaks," even incorporating clips of her returning to Brimfield and participating in the show to search for her biological father.
When the video first surfaced, Simon Forrester’s team attempted to hack into the website, but due to the website’s strong defenses, even after they finally took down the video, it had already been downloaded thousands of tis.
Those thousands of people spread and reposted the video on various platforms, and in the end, even an entire team of hackers working overnight couldn’t completely erase it.

"Can Lawyer Thornton tell us more about your father? Our show has viewers from all over the country, and maybe soone actually knows sothing about your father."
"I’m Sienna Thornton, born in April 1991. My mother’s na is linda Linton, from Linton Village in Wrayhaven."
"Is there anything else you’d like to add, like more specific information about your father?"
"No need. If he’s still alive and wants to reunite with , he would understand just from this information."
On screen, Sienna Thornton’s eyes glistened with tears, that pitiable yet stubborn appearance was exactly the sa as when she was at the police station, aware she was not a suspect.
Seth Sutton watched with growing irritation, slamming his palm on the keyboard’s space bar, freezing the image of Sienna’s almost tearful but incredibly beautiful face.
Feeling as if bugs were crawling under his skin, Seth switched off the computer screen, propping his police boots on the desk.
After pondering for a while, he eventually called Mina Thorne.
When Mina Thorne answered, she thought Seth calling ant he was reconsidering their breakup, and though she feigned anger, she couldn’t hide her happiness: "Didn’t we break up? Why are you calling now?"
Seth, aware of her thoughts, played dumb and simply demanded, "Send Uncle Thorne’s phone number."
"Why?" Mina raised her voice, "Are you going to tell my dad we’re breaking up?"
Tired of her paranoia, Seth snapped, "Work-related, just send the number!"
With that, he hung up the phone.
Shortly after, Mina’s ssage arrived. Seth imdiately called the number from the ssage, and Quentin Thorne soon answered.
Quentin Thorne’s single greeting of "Hello" was enough for Seth to sense his cheerful deanor, reminiscent of Sienna Thornton’s poised smile during his repeated inquiries over the past two days.
Seth cleared his throat: "Uncle Thorne, it’s Sutton."
"Oh, Sutton, hello, hello."
Without wasting words, Seth bluntly asked, "Did you ever visit Linton Village in Wrayhaven in July 1990?"
Silence stretched over the phone after his question.
Seth understood and was about to hang up when Quentin Thorne’s restrained voice ca through: "Sutton, why are you asking this?"
Seth, straightforward by nature, knew about the Thorne family’s strained relationships through Mina over the years. He wasn’t one to beat around the bush; he just wanted the truth!
Clutching his phone tightly, he enunciated clearly, "Because I find that the past suspect in the ’western suburbs case,’ Sienna Thornton, resembles Mina a lot, and she’s searching for her birth father. The girl is from a small place, and it’s not easy for her, especially now amidst all this, could you offer so help or clues..."
After his words, dead silence fell over the line again.
Just as Seth was about to end the call, Quentin Thorne suddenly spoke in a low voice, asking, "Have you discussed this with Mina?"
"No. Mina and I have broken up."
Quentin Thorne sounded shocked: "Why? After all these years, why break up now?"
Seth gave a cold laugh: "I’m too busy with work to cater to your dear daughter. Alright, I understand what you an, hanging up now."
Though blunt, Seth was not unwise. Quentin Thorne’s question, "Have you discussed this with Mina?" clearly implied acknowledgnt of his connection to Sienna Thornton.
This revelation left Seth thrilled.
Firstly, the long-standing mystery was finally solved, and secondly, who would’ve thought his ex-girlfriend has a high-profile sister.
Seth reopened his computer screen.
In the dim office late at night, light from the computer illuminated his rugged yet handso face.
Half-squinting, he looked at Sienna Thornton’s exquisite face on the screen, clicking his tongue: "Harvard Law JD, Brimfield’s ’Gentle Knife’ in the legal circles, bed-and-breakfast owner, Forrester Group’s Chief Legal Officer, law firm partner, the illegitimate daughter of the Court G dean... truly remarkable!"

"The case discussed last Friday is off again..." Aurora Buckley added milk and sugar to her coffee, turned around, leaning against the tea table, took a sip of the hot coffee, and asked Rhonda Wagner, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, "Does it affect your side?"
Rhonda chuckled, "On the contrary, I’ve even taken on more murder defense cases these past few days... Interestingly, the public believes Lawyer Thornton is guilty, while I can get her out, making them think we have our ways, so they all co to ..."
Aurora sighed, placing her coffee cup on the tea table, crossing her arms, and pondered, "I can’t tell if this is good or bad in the long run."
"Let’s take it one step at a ti, don’t overthink it..."
Rhonda was speaking when she noticed soone standing at the tea room entrance and instinctively paused, turning her head to see it was Sienna Thornton, quickly motioning her over: "Lawyer Thornton, co in and have so tea."
Sienna gave them a smile and walked in, just about to make herself a cup of coffee when Rochelle Linwood suddenly approached, "Lawyer Thornton, there’s a Mr. Sutton who wants to see you."
Sienna didn’t turn around, pressing the coffee machine, and asked, "Which Mr. Sutton?"
