After leaving her family's office, the gloom between Sienna's brows eased quite a bit.
But she didn't return to Goodwin Corp right away. Instead, she went to the mall to buy gifts, then brought them to the Goodwin residence.
Not long after, she met William, who looked quite displeased. She immediately wore a guilty expression.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Goodwin Senior. I… couldn't persuade Mr. Goodwin."
William looked at her slightly reddened eyes and wasn't the least bit surprised. He even found her rather useless.
With the friendship between the two families in mind, he kept his feelings to himself.
He waved a hand and said, "Forget it. I know Sam's temperament better than you. You don't need to apologize to me."
To show her virtuous side, Sienna once again took the initiative and offered, "I'll think of another way to persuade Mr. Goodwin."
"You're very considerate," William responded perfunctorily, then lifted the teacup from the table and took a sip.
Coming from a wealthy family herself, Sienna could easily tell this was a dismissal.
She hesitated, but then chose to ignore it. She pretended to be hesitant to speak as she looked at William.
He could tell at a glance that she had more to say. He set down his cup and asked, "Ms. Scott, do you have something else to say?"
"Mr. Goodwin Senior, I heard some rumors at the company, and I'm not sure if I should bring them up…"
"Oh? What rumors?" William arched a brow and looked over at her.
Sienna said, "Many people at the company think Ms. Quinn has an ill fate and that she brings misfortune to those around her. Logically, this is all feudal superstition, but the way they talk sounds convincing.
"Ms. Quinn's parents died protecting her. Later, after she came to Mr. Goodwin's side, things had been turbulent—time and again, she had dragged Mr. Goodwin into trouble."
"It's like that man she dated for several years before. I heard the police arrested him today."
William also knew Johnny had been arrested today.
