Sienna Johnson is the Briggs family’s grandchild, and now she’s the young and promising Boss of Eastminster Group. The Briggs family knows quite a bit about her.
Second Sister-in-law continued, "...Originally, that adopted daughter went to Amwan with Sienna and her future brother-in-law. But then Sienna was said to have died, and the adopted daughter married into the Stewart family in her place, becoming the young madam. ...Looking back now, the whole thing is really quite strange."
Sister-in-law sighed. "That Sabrina Johnson isn’t as kind-hearted as she appears. She can only fool our naive little sister-in-law."
"Exactly. It’s her own fault for being so naive," Second Sister-in-law said.
"Shh... Don’t talk nonsense. If soone in the family hears you, they’ll scold you again," Sister-in-law cautioned.
Second Sister-in-law chuckled. "Sister-in-law, you know . Am I the type to have a loose tongue? I only dare say this kind of thing to you. If my husband found out I was badmouthing his silly sister behind his back, he’d be furious with ."
Sister-in-law also laughed. "My husband is the sa."
Second Sister-in-law sighed again. "Actually, no one in our Briggs family is truly foolish. Our sister-in-law is the way she is because she was spoiled by the Briggs family, and then she ended up marrying such a good man, Dexter Johnson. Even though she’s not young anymore, her ntality is still that of a young girl. She’s only grown older in years, not wiser."
"She’s not planning on staying long this ti, is she?" Sister-in-law asked, worried about this.
Second Sister-in-law burst into laughter. "Are you also afraid of living with our little sister-in-law?"
"I really can’t stand her princess syndro."
" neither. But there’s nothing to worry about. After all, our sister-in-law doesn’t have any bad intentions; she’s just a bit naive," Second Sister-in-law said optimistically.

At the Dragon Court Residence Complex, Sienna Johnson woke up to the aroma of delicious food. She stretched languidly, feeling very relaxed.
She got up, dressed, and went out to find Rose Collins and Kiki busy in the kitchen.
"Auntie Rose, it slls so good! What are you making?"
"This is our old Collins family’s secret recipe; it can’t be shared. Unless... you marry into our Collins family. Then I’ll tell you."
Kiki touched her nose but didn’t say anything.
"How are things going with you and Lucas Robertson? When are you planning the wedding?" Rose Collins asked with concern.
Rose Collins was now worried about the younger generation’s marriages. Her eldest son had been busy with work for years and still wasn’t married, and Kiki, such a wonderful girl, was in the sa situation.
"Auntie Rose, please don’t say such things. Lucas and I are just friends right now. He has soone else in his heart. Auntie Rose, I beg you, please don’t ntion this again. Lucas will misunderstand."
"Hasn’t his fiancee been gone for many years? Does he still miss her?" Rose Collins asked.
"Mhm. Lucas told he doesn’t plan to marry in this lifeti. So, Auntie Rose, please stop saying such things. If Lucas misunderstands, I’ll be too embarrassed to face him anymore."
"Alright, alright, I know. By the way, I recently got to know a young man who’s quite nice. I’d like to introduce you."
Kiki said shyly, "Oh, no need, thank you."
"You mustn’t be like my foolish son. Won and n are different. When n get older, they can find soone younger. When won get older, they can only find soone older than themselves..."
Seeing Rose Collins’s determined expression, as if she wouldn’t rest until Kiki was married off, Kiki reluctantly revealed, "Actually, I have soone I like."
"Who?"
"Oh, Auntie Rose, please don’t ask," Kiki said shyly.
"Really? You’re not trying to fool your Auntie Rose, are you?"
"It’s true. We have mutual feelings for each other, but the relationship isn’t official yet. I haven’t even told Sienna about it." Kiki’s voice was gentle, and a blush spread across her fair face; she looked exactly like a woman in love.
Lucas, standing outside the kitchen, felt his heart grow cold. Kiki has soone she likes? Who is it? How could I not know?
"What does he do?" Rose Collins asked.
"He runs a flower shop. He’s from Abyanabad too. And what a coincidence, we actually graduated from the sa university, but he was three years ahead of ."
Lucas, who had always been vigilant, hadn’t realized that Sienna had already walked up behind him.
Sienna said with schadenfreude, "Ah, Lucas, my jinxing mouth strikes again! I called it. You’re one step too late!"
This is so satisfying! Sienna thought. Back then, Kiki confessed to him and got rejected. She cried for so many nights. Hmph! Serves you right, you rascal!
"Can you help find out who that man is?" Lucas asked.
"Didn’t she just say? Runs a flower shop, sa university, from Abyanabad," Sienna said, deliberately provoking Lucas in a rather unkind way.
"Which flower shop? What’s its na?"
"Oh, co on, Lucas. Who are you? Aren’t you the expert at finding things out? You still need for this?"
"Kiki, you have a boyfriend? Who is he? Introduce him to !" Sienna suddenly called out. Startled, Kiki dropped the bowl she was holding. It shattered on the floor. She quickly squatted to pick up the pieces, but being distracted, she cut her hand.
"Ouch!"
"You’re a single, unmarried woman. Why are you so nervous about having a boyfriend? You’re acting like you’re soone’s mistress or sothing. What are you so flustered about?" Sienna said, pulling Kiki up and examining her hand. The cut wasn’t deep.
"I’ll get the dical kit," Rose Collins said, going to find it.
"Our relationship isn’t official yet. I wouldn’t have said anything if Auntie Rose hadn’t been pushing to go on a blind date," Kiki said shyly.
"Aha! So it’s true. Once a woman gets a man, her focus shifts elsewhere. You even tried to hide it from !"
"No, that’s not it! We just have mutual feelings, but the relationship isn’t official yet," Kiki said, her face flushing.
"What’s his na?" Lucas asked suddenly.
Kiki answered automatically, "Samuel Palr."
"Samuel Palr? That’s a nice na," Sienna remarked.
"He’s a very nice person," Kiki said shyly.
Sienna turned, saw Lucas’s livid face, and deliberately grinned at him. "Lucas, did you hear? Kiki said he’s a very nice person."
"She’s so naive. How would she know if a man is genuinely interested in her or just thinks she’s pretty and wants to toy with her?"
"Lucas, that’s too much!" Sienna warned.
"I’m going to cook noodles!" Kiki said, turning to go into the kitchen. Sienna pulled her back. "What are you doing? You can’t cook with an injured hand."
"Here it is, here it is!" Rose Collins ca over with a first-aid kit. Sienna took it and led Kiki out of the kitchen area.
"Don’t you have things to do today?" Kiki said to Sienna. "I’m fine. You go ahead with your work."
