I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 130

"Sienna, that jewelry collection you launched six months ago was absolutely stunning! My sister-in-law is so obsessed with it she wears it to every major gala just to show off. I don't care what it takes, considering how close we are, you have to promise me first dibs on your next release!"

Sienna sat elegantly in the center of the group, soaking in the praise with a serene, knowing smile.

"No way! I booked Sienna last year! The new designs belong to me!"

The women continued to playfully bicker until one of them finally raised a hand to quiet the group.

"Alright, alright, calm down! Today is Sienna's onboarding celebration. Don't forget why we're really here."

The chatter instantly died down.

Having absorbed enough flattery for the moment, Sienna took a delicate sip of her wine and spoke with perfect poise.

"I've saved exclusive pieces for all of you. It's just that the timeline was a bit tight, so the full sets aren't completely finished yet. Consider it a small token of my appreciation. If you see anything else you like at the auction in three months, just give the word, and I'll make sure you win the bid."

The socialites' eyes lit up with absolute delight.

Suddenly, one of the women glanced over and spotted Zoe quietly eating at the dessert table.

She froze.

"Is that... Zoe Lynd?"

The woman gasped, quickly lowering her voice. "The Zoe Lynd who crawled into Mr. Thorne's bed five years ago? Tell me I'm hallucinating."

"Sienna, isn't she your sister?" another woman chimed in, drowning out the first.

"What kind of sister steals her own sister's man? I'd disown her on the spot! She completely humiliated herself in front of high society. How does she even have the nerve to show her face in this city, let alone work at this company? Sienna, does her being here not bother you?"

Sienna nonchalantly set her wine glass down, maintaining her flawless, aristocratic facade. "The Lynd family fell on hard times. We share blood, so as her sister, the least I can do is make sure she doesn't starve."

A flicker of sharp resentment flashed through Sienna's eyes. She had assumed Zoe wouldn't dare show up today. Seeing her dressed in cheap office clothes that made her look like the waitstaff was a complete embarrassment.

Just then, Hayden Thorne approached the VIP section. The socialites immediately stood up, their faces flushed with eagerness.
