Chapter 227: Chapter 227
"Miss Quinn, I really don’t know how to thank you. Not only did you help me get revenge, but you also solved my family’s livelihood issues. You are truly my benefactor. Don’t worry, I will do my best to help you with this matter! I will definitely help you get rid of Vera Yates, that scourge!"
Sienna Quinn’s lips curled into a smile, as if everything was under her control. She was very satisfied with Assistant Vance’s response. This time, she would definitely not show any mercy. Sienna absolutely would not allow anyone to bully Evan Quinn. To Sienna, Evan was not just blood and kin but also the pillar of her life. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel-fire.ɴet
Sienna appeared calm. "You can go back now. If there are any developments, just contact me. I trust you."
The assistant’s eyes were filled with admiration, as if Sienna was her savior who led her out of hardship and away from troubled times.
"Okay, Miss Quinn." The assistant left full of gratitude, wiping away the tears that had been in her eyes just moments before.
Once outside the building, the assistant felt overwhelmed with relief, as if everything had been lifted off her shoulders. Just completing this task would grant her newfound freedom.
The assistant took out her phone and dialed a long-missed number, "Mom, you and Dad stay well at home. I’ll come visit you in a couple of days. I’ve also found a job for Dad here, and I’ll bring you over to live with me in a couple of days."
"Okay, everything’s fine at home, don’t worry about it. You just work well over there and help out your boss." A gentle, caring voice of an elderly mother came from the other end of the call.
"Being alone out there is not easy. Everything costs money, so don’t worry about us at home."
The mother’s gentle words continued to advise her daughter, fearing she might be suffering there, but Assistant Vance was already moved to tears.
"I know, Mom. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself here."
The assistant’s tears rolled down, one after another, but she controlled herself, speaking to her mother in the best tone possible to avoid causing any concern.
Sienna Quinn observed all of this, knowing she had accurately seized something to leverage against the assistant. She was certain the assistant would work earnestly for her, and this time, Sienna would make sure Vera Yates paid for what she’d done.
The assistant anxiously returned to the filming location, her psychological stamina was decent, otherwise, others would have figured it out long ago. She tried hard to conceal her unease.
At that moment, Vera Yates was applying makeup, opening her eyes to see the assistant, who had disappeared somewhere, and sneered, "Come in for a moment."
Vera Yates was already upset; her plan had failed, having not dealt with Sienna Quinn, there was still some displeasure lingering in her heart. Moreover, at work, one can’t vent on anyone but their own subordinates.
The assistant had just calmed her nerves, and with a single sentence, her anxiety spiked, fearing she had been discovered for something she’d done.
But she reassured herself it couldn’t be; she had just returned, so Vera Yates couldn’t have received the news so quickly.
No matter the reason, it was better to go inside now to avoid any suspicion from others who might think she was up to something.
On the surface, the assistant remained composed, but in truth, she was very scared. Yet, for her family’s safety, she would whole-heartedly play her part in this act.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
After taking a deep breath, the assistant entered.
"Where did you go just now? You were gone for so long, and didn’t even answer the phone calls."
Vera Yates’ gaze was sharp, dressed in a white suit that highlighted her sensuous calf lines below the knee, making one imaginative, as she picked up the coffee cup next to her with her online hand and took a sip. Her demeanor was calm and collected, and her eyes were piercing, with a presence that invoked fear.
"The last sponsor asked me to return the clothes quickly, so I went in a rush to send them back. My phone was almost dead, so I put it on silent mode."
The assistant didn’t know who gave her the courage to fabricate such a grand lie in front of Vera Yates.
Vera Yates, however, was not at all suspicious, as she felt such a thing couldn’t be possible, given that the lives of the assistant’s entire family were in her hands,
and the assistant could not possibly do something so foolish. Observing the assistant’s demeanor, she felt it seemed genuine enough. At such a moment, she thought it wouldn’t be good to be paranoid, as it might cause division among her staff.
Vera Yates said, "Alright, let me know next time if you have something to do, or I’ll consider it as neglecting your duties."
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief and said shakily, "Um, okay, then President Vance, I’ll get back to work now."
Vera Yates snorted coldly and said, "Hm."
Once outside, the assistant felt the only path available to her might be through Sienna Quinn. If she wanted to protect her family and have a stable life, this was a crucial choice that would determine her future.
She thought she couldn’t continue allowing Vera Yates to use her for wrongdoing; otherwise, she would eventually face retribution, as even kidnapping had been on the table. What else could she not be capable of?
The young assistant had just left Vera Yates’ makeup room when she turned to say to a girl, "Tina, Miss Vance wants to see you."
Suddenly, a woman emerged from Vera Yates’ makeup room.
The young assistant found it very strange to see Tina with a terrified expression, unsure of what had transpired during that time.
As she returned to her small chair, just as she sat down, she heard scolding and hitting noises coming from the makeup rest area behind her, "Are you blind? Can’t even handle such a small task? If you don’t come back to do the makeup, then just quit and get lost."
The attitude Vera Yates displayed while speaking to the young assistant was completely different. Now she resembled a shrew, her previously appealing legs now seemed like weapons, kicking at Tina, who didn’t dare speak a word.
Tina felt immense pain and stood with difficulty, likely having a bruise forming on her calf already, but she still didn’t dare utter a word. Everyone in the company knew that when Vera Yates was angry, no one dared to cross her.
Who could blame her? Not only was she Landon Lawson’s girlfriend, but she was also a popular actress, becoming the center of attention wherever she went.
The young assistant thought this was a great opportunity. Previously, she didn’t know how to bring down Vera Yates, to ruin her reputation.
Now she finally found a way, capturing photos of her verbally abusing the staff.
