I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 359

Sylvia scoffed internally. *Did it sound like I was complimenting you?*

"It seems Mrs. Thorne is quite the visionary," Sylvia said smoothly. "It just so happens I have a close friend in the state sector—a top-tier government contractor. Since you're so incredibly capable, I wonder if you'd be interested in meeting him?"

Sylvia offered a warm, maternal smile. "This man operates in the absolute inner circle of government development. I'd love to introduce you. My son has been a total disappointment lately. I heard Mr. Thorne canceled the partnership with Sterling Group, and I want Garrett to realize the massive mistake he's made before it's too late."

Sienna's heart practically exploded with triumph.

Sylvia wanted to teach Garrett a lesson! She wanted to show him how much he was losing by dropping Easton Group.

This confirmed everything. Sylvia had definitely seen the photos in the box. Zoe was purposely excluded tonight because the Kendalls were actively trying to sever ties with her and Garrett.

And if Sienna could land a state-backed contract with a government official, the profits would completely dwarf whatever they would have made with Sterling Group.

She forced down the hysterical laugh bubbling in her throat and nodded gracefully. But despite her best efforts, Sylvia easily caught the naked, greedy thrill in Sienna's eyes.

Sylvia didn't have hard proof that Sienna was the one who sent the lockbox, but she knew exactly how toxic the history between Zoe and her stepsister was. The explosive scandal from five years ago was still crystal clear in Sylvia's memory.

"Shall I introduce you?"

Sylvia's tone filled Sienna with blinding arrogance.

Once the Kendall family realized that *she* was the brilliant, capable sister, maybe they would adopt her instead.

With Hayden Thorne ruling the business world and the Kendall dynasty backing her in the political arena, her status would be utterly untouchable.

Sylvia linked arms with Sienna, making her feel incredibly special.

Sienna leaned in close, playing the part of the perfect, devoted daughter.

Sylvia guided her across the room toward a balding, heavily overweight man.

"Director Young, I have someone I'd like you to meet," Sylvia greeted him.

Justin Young, a mid-level government director, was absolutely floored that a titan like Sylvia Kendall would stoop to speak to him. He was practically vibrating with excitement.

"This is a niece of mine, Sienna Winters," Sylvia introduced.
