"Curly, people should be content. You’ve inherited your dad’s looks, so many boys like you, what else could you want?" Sienna Johnson poked her on the forehead, scolding.
Curly spread her hands, looking troubled, and said, "So many boys like , what’s there to be proud of? They all like just because of my face."
"..."
"Mom, just because of my face, I have to figure out if people truly love ...
Tell , what’s there to be happy about?"
"..."
"Not as fortunate as Cindy, those who fall for Cindy, it’s real love."
Olivia Ford is Curly’s best friend, not pretty, quite chubby, but with a good temper. After being bullied several tis and saved by Curly, she beca Curly’s little sidekick.
"Jayce Johnson, you’re just taking advantage and playing innocent." Sienna Johnson went to poke Curly’s forehead again, Curly dodged into her father’s embrace, "Don’t poke, don’t poke, it hurts."
"Stop poking her forehead, it’s so small, what if you damage it?" Adrian Desmond protected his daughter.
Sienna Johnson gave Adrian a hard poke and shot him a glare, Adrian chuckled, not bothered.
"Here cos the Hopper Family."
Adrian saw the Hopper family of five walking towards the pavilion, gestured with his chin towards them, and Sienna looked over too.
The Hopper family looked around with eyes glinting with greed. Sienna sotis had to admit, one’s nature is really hard to change.
Sienna sat by the stone table, while Adrian held their daughter sitting on the pavilion rail, Curly silently watching the Hopper family approach, without saying much.
"Sienna Johnson, where’s Marvin? Where did you hide Marvin?" Ashley Hopper was the first to speak.
Sienna Johnson chuckled lightly, "Marvin Rafael, such a big man, why would I hide him? Besides, why should I tell you?
Ashley Hopper, who are you to Marvin Rafael anyway?"
"I am his wife!"
"Ex-wife, that’s all!" Sienna Johnson emphasized.
Ashley Hopper stared at Sienna Johnson, suddenly tearing up, "Aunt, please tell where Marvin is, I want to see him."
Sienna Johnson remained unmoved, glancing at the Hopper family. If they were sensible, they shouldn’t have co knocking.
"Sienna Johnson, is this big house yours?" Milton Hopper asked with a grin.
"It’s the Johnson Family’s."
"Your Johnson Family doesn’t have any sons, won’t it eventually be yours?" Milton Hopper said.
"I don’t know what you ca to find for. If you’re asking about Marvin’s whereabouts, then I can’t tell you," Sienna Johnson wasn’t interested in dealing with these people.
"Haha, no matter what, we’re relatives. We ca from Blackwood, unfamiliar with this place. Can we stay at your house for a few days?" Milton Hopper asked.
Jenny interjected, "Sienna Johnson, your house is so big, there must be a place for us to stay. If you don’t let us stay, that’s too much."
"******’s White House is also big, with plenty of empty rooms. Why don’t you go stay at the White House?" Sienna Johnson said sarcastically.
"Sienna Johnson, do you really have to carry this through to the end?" Jenny looked at Sienna Johnson with hatred, her purpose unt, she imdiately changed face.
Sienna Johnson maintained a smiling deanor, "Tell , what exactly do you want?
If you want to stay at my house, I’m telling you, it’s absolutely impossible!
I’m the kind of person who holds grudges.
I rember your Hopper family brought a group of people to storm my adoptive mother’s house. If Sally hadn’t been there, I would’ve been beaten up by you."
"..."
"Don’t talk to about old ties, a woman who even hits her own mother-in-law, we have no old ties."
Sienna Johnson made her stance clear. Those who were sensible and still valuing their dignity should now leave with their tails between their legs.
Milton Hopper said, "Sienna Johnson, I know you plotted against us."
"Oh?"
"Back then, I t that man in the detention center, it was your arrangent, wasn’t it? All that nonsense about demolition, there never was such a thing?
Do you know how miserably you tricked us?
My sister divorced Marvin Rafael without getting a penny, and that’s just the start.
To get more houses during the supposed demolition, we borrowed high-interest loans to build houses back ho. Now there’s no demolition at all.
The high-interest loans are forcing us to repay, and we can only co to Sileria City to turn to you. No matter what, it’s because of you, or else our Hopper family would still be living comfortably in the small villa, instead of now being chased by high-interest loans, hiding everywhere?"
"You actually borrowed high-interest loans? Haha..."
Sienna Johnson knew the Hopper family’s greed but didn’t expect their guts. High-interest loans are sothing any sane person should avoid.
Father Hopper spoke from the side, "The young ones were naive, Sienna, don’t take it to heart with them. We’ve co to you out of desperation.
Can you offer us a place to stay, and maybe help us find jobs? We’ll slowly repay the high-interest loans..."
Sienna Johnson laughed, "Haha..."
Curly interjected, "Mom, didn’t you say a high-interest loan is like piling interest that can never be fully repaid?
The Sileria City’s salary levels aren’t high, their wages likely can’t even cover the interest on the loans."
"You understand more than a five-year-old." Sienna Johnson dropped her smile, looking at the Johnson family, exposing their little sche.
"Once you move into my house, were you planning to tell the loans that you’re related to our Johnson Family, and our Johnson Family can help repay your high-interest loans?"
"How could that be? Haha..." Father Hopper’s face turned red and then white, he said.
"Though I’ve never borrowed high-interest loans, having spent a long ti in the business world, I know the loan’s debt collection tactics.
Once they know you can’t repay, they’ll target anyone with ties to you."
"..."
"Don’t treat like an idiot. I’ll only tell you this: you reap what you sow! You’ll have to taste the bitter fruit yourself."
"..."
"Don’t linger at my Johnson Family’s door, I’m not a Rafael, you won’t get any benefits from . Those with sense, scram! Or else, I’ll show you what I’m capable of!"
Sienna Johnson squinted her eyes, sharp gaze fixed on these Rafael people, leaving them no room.
Milton Hopper raged, "Sienna Johnson, how can you ignore us? If you hadn’t set us up, would we be in this position?"
"..."
"You’re such a vicious woman, can’t stand to see us doing well?
Do you like the Rafael Family, actually trying to split up my sister and Marvin Rafael..."
"..."
"You do these cruel things, aren’t you afraid of having a son with no rear-end?"
