He Buried Me But I Painted My Own Resurrection novel Chapter 250

The family dinner was held in the side dining room. The large round table, meant to seat ten, felt entirely too empty with only five people around it, rendering the atmosphere increasingly stiff.

Sabrina Sullivan deliberately sat diagonally across from Sienna Sawyer, using the vantage point to scrutinize her with brazen hostility.

From the moment Sienna sat down, Sabrina hadn't spoken a word. She simply raked her gaze over Sienna from head to toe, employing the signature look of utter disdain popular among elite socialites.

Seeing her parents fuss over Sienna while treating her like invisible air, the flames of jealousy burned ever brighter in her chest.

Evelyn Sullivan had just placed a piece of garlic butter shrimp onto Sienna's plate when Sabrina dropped her silverware against her plate, producing a sharp, echoing clatter.

She scoffed, her tone dripping with passive-aggressive venom. "Lady K sure knows how to play the game. One minute you're turning a man's engagement upside down at the Gauthier family's art exhibition, and the next, you've latched onto the Sullivan family as my parents' guest of honor."

Her words caused an instant hush to fall over the table. The air grew suffocatingly tense.

Evelyn's warm smile froze, and she opened her mouth to reprimand her daughter.

But Sabrina didn't give her the chance. She barreled ahead, her words spilling out in a rapid-fire assault. "If people didn't know any better, they'd think you were an attention-seeking socialite instead of some genius artist."

"After all, in this circle, there are too many women desperate to climb the social ladder, and they'll use whatever dirty tricks they have to get there."

The accusation was incredibly vicious.

Not only was she labeling Sienna as a homewrecker, but she was flat-out degrading her as a gold digger who used her body and manipulation to get ahead.

Evelyn was shaking with rage. "Sabrina! What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"

Lucas Lowery's expression darkened instantly. He was about to speak, but a single, calm glance from Sienna stopped him.

Sienna didn't look the least bit angry. She didn't even raise an eyebrow.
