Chapter 226: Chapter 226
Early the next morning, when Sienna Quinn woke up, Landon Lawson had already left.
Sienna gently smoothed her hair, puckered her lips, and muttered, "Every time, he just leaves after getting what he wants. Does he really think my place is his hotel?"
Feeling a bit upset, Sienna turned around and put on a very sharp little suit and paired it with a very exquisite makeup. She had arranged to meet someone at Osterler Cafe, silently waiting for her arrival. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel~fire~net
The person Sienna was meeting was none other than Vera Yates’ assistant. Ordinarily, an assistant to a boss should be the person closest to them, unlikely to be easily swayed by others.
However, Sienna had learned from Felix Orwell that Vera Yates was a very arrogant and domineering woman who never treated her subordinates well.
This assistant worked diligently for Vera Yates, yet Vera never showed her a single day of good face and constantly oppressed and targeted her, making her life unbearable.
The cold does not get three feet thick in a day.
Due to long-term oppression by Vera Yates, this assistant had long harbored resentment towards her.
Yet, under the coercion of Vera Yates’ influence, and being just a mere assistant, she could only endure silently in this pressure.
But Sienna thought she could seize this opportunity, use Vera Yates’ assistant to completely bring Vera Yates down.
At precisely two in the afternoon, a woman dressed in white with a light makeup gracefully sat in front of Sienna.
The assistant picked up the latte Sienna ordered for her, took a small sip, her brows furrowing tightly.
Ever since the woman entered, Sienna had been sizing up the assistant.
Even though she appeared normal, Sienna still noticed her flaws.
The assistant’s hand holding the coffee cup trembled incessantly.
Although she had never met Sienna, this woman still knew about her.
Every day Vera Yates complained, her temper lately even more severe than before, and the cause of her anger was all because of this woman named Sienna Quinn before her.
Sienna had suddenly called her yesterday, and though they didn’t know each other, it was easy for Sienna to get her phone number if she wanted.
Clearly, Sienna was looking for her because of Vera Yates; their connection revolved only around Vera Yates.
But if Vera Yates found out, she would definitely face dire consequences. How could she not be afraid?
"I wonder, Miss Quinn, what brings you to me today?"
The woman’s voice shivered.
Sienna smiled, clapped her hands, and said to the assistant, "Then I’ll be direct and honest."
Sienna picked up the Blue Mountain coffee in her hand, took a sip, "I hear you’ve worked for Vera Yates for years without much success! Vera Yates has given you quite a hard time openly and in secret, hasn’t she? Don’t you want to leave her?"
Upon hearing Sienna’s words, the assistant fiercely dropped the coffee cup onto the table.
She quickly lowered her head and said, "I think, Miss Quinn, you might have heard wrong. How could I be dissatisfied with Miss Vance as a mere assistant?"
"I know exactly what kind of person she is, so you don’t need to speak well for her."
The assistant kept her head lowered, dared not speak for a long time, her body trembling non-stop, allowing Sienna to have a complete hold on her.
This assistant surely harbors discontent towards Vera Yates, just has never dared to show it over the years.
"You’ve heard something about the issues between Vera Yates and me. This woman is unscrupulous, manipulative. If you could help me, I won’t betray you, and will help you vent the grievance."
Sienna spoke softly, not worried at all that the woman might disagree, her willingness to meet today already revealed her mindset.
The woman kept her head down, remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly a sinister laugh broke out.
"Hmph, it seems good things don’t go far, bad news spreads miles away! I’m living very oppressed, but I have neither money nor connections; what can I do? Do I have the capital to retaliate? I can only let myself be bullied!"
The assistant spoke these words for the first time over the years, murmuring with a difficult expression.
The years of suppression, the humiliation received beside Vera Yates, with each day stimulating her brain.
The assistant suddenly extended her arm, reached it out in front of Sienna, "These are the marks Vera Yates left on me."
Looking at the young assistant who wasn’t very old, her originally smooth arms were now covered with gruesome burn scars.
"This was a play orchestrated by Vera Yates to gain President Lawson’s sympathy."
The assistant coldly laughed.
Sienna’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; this Sienna was demanding but also found a usable tactic.
Sienna’s eyebrows arched higher, her lips forming a terrifying curve.
"Do you want to take down Vera Yates? While you might not have the capital for a counterstrike, I do."
"What do you plan to do?" The assistant asked with a face full of confusion.
"We can join forces, you collect evidence of Vera Yates’ domineering and bullying behavior, and I’ll spread your evidence, thus destroying Vera Yates’ gentle and charming image, and by then, her sweet-girl image will vanish."
At this moment, Assistant Vance frowned, shook her head, and said to the Sienna before her, "Miss Quinn, it’s not that I don’t wish to help you, but the fact is Vera Yates’ power is too strong. I’m just a child from a common family, if this gets exposed, she definitely won’t spare me, so what should I do about my family? I might not matter, but I cannot involve my family, this please understand me!"
Sienna stood up with a smile, gently patted Assistant Vance’s shoulder, and said, "Don’t worry about that, since I want you to help me, I’ll naturally consider all the implications very thoroughly. Once this is done, I’ll help you find a better job."
"I know Vera Yates is a ruthless woman, so I’ll send people to protect your whole family’s safety. As far as I know, your father is also facing layoff crisis soon; I can have your father transferred to Yates Group too, although not an important position, the salary isn’t high either, but it can relieve some of your family’s burden. How does that sound?"
What Sienna said shot into the assistant’s heart like sunlight in winter, one bit at a time; the assistant tightly grasped Sienna’s hand, her eyes filled with gratitude, and said to Sienna, "Miss Quinn, then this matter depends on you."
