I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 473

Sienna didn't need him right now anyway.

She had a much bigger plan.

Terrence Winters had secured bail and was permitted to stay under house arrest for the next two weeks.

Upon learning everything that had transpired while he was locked up, Terrence was utterly stunned that his daughter had skyrocketed to such incredible heights of power in a matter of days.

Sienna ordered a car and hurried from Blackwood Manor back to the Winters estate.

She marched through the front doors with a frosty expression. Clara Winters was shocked to see her daughter so early in the morning.

"Sienna, sweetie, you're alone? Where's Hayden?"

Clara hurried over, surprised. It was rare to see Sienna without her usual entourage or Hayden.

Sienna completely ignored the question.

"Where's Dad?"

She needed to speak with Terrence immediately.

Clara's lips curved into a soft smile.

"He's still asleep. It's so early, is something wrong?"

Since dawn had barely broken and Clara was the only early riser in the house, she couldn't help but ask, noting her daughter's foul mood.

"Wake him up. I'll be waiting in the study."

Sienna was in no mood to endure even the slightest inconvenience.

She had successfully commandeered Easton Group—was there a more powerful or capable woman in all of New York, or even the world?

Why was Hayden still hung up on Zoe?

She didn't dwell on it; she simply didn't have the time.

Terrence was furious at being woken up.

Clara coaxed him into the study to meet Sienna. While in prison, he had been subjected to strict sleep schedules without a second of extra rest.

Now that he was finally out on bail, all he wanted was to sleep in, but Sienna had ruined it.

"What is so urgent?"

Shut out by Hayden, Sienna felt deeply insecure.

All the revenue Easton generated meant absolutely nothing to her personally.

The finance hawks scrutinized every transaction, making embezzlement impossible.

Only by securing absolute control over Winters Group could she siphon Easton's contracts over to her family's firm.

By using Winters Group as a shell, she could funnel massive profits directly into her own pockets.

Winters Group was about to become her personal, untraceable money-laundering haven.

Moving forward, the company would abandon all its traditional, low-margin operations. She planned to gut the staff, hiring only forensic accountants and loophole lawyers to keep the IRS at bay while she washed Easton's capital.

Terrence adamantly refused, but Sienna left him no room to negotiate.

"I got you out, which means I can put you right back in. Hayden pulled strings to reduce your sentence from ten years to three. I can just as easily have it bumped right back up to ten."

Sienna's threat was vicious. Terrence trembled with rage.

"You ungrateful little bitch! I'm your father! You're extorting me?"
