I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 478

Terrence had always believed his secret was perfectly hidden. Being completely exposed by Sienna should have made him furious out of humiliation.

But his biggest bargaining chip—his shares in the Winters Group—had already been signed over in a legally binding transfer agreement right in front of a lawyer. Losing control of the company meant he had lost everything.

"Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret from Mom. But as for the cash transfers, the mansions, the commercial properties, and the luxury goods you bought that woman? You'd better calculate it all and have her return it immediately. I'll leave one house for your mistress and her kid. I won't drive them to the brink. After all, you are my dad, and strictly speaking, that boy is my brother. I'll leave him a way to survive."

Sienna had dug up his entire history. If this made its way to Mrs. Winters, she would definitely divorce him.

For the first time, Terrence regretted marrying Sienna into the Thorne family. He had originally hoped to ride her coattails, leaning on the massive Thorne tree to secure endless wealth.

Instead, his own daughter had schemed against him until he was left with absolutely nothing, and he was forced to swallow his suffering in silence.

Terrence's spirit was completely broken. The arrogant aura of a successful businessman vanished, leaving him staring at the floor. Even going to prison hadn't reduced him to this pathetic state.

In front of Sienna, he had no fight left in him.

Hearing that she wouldn't tell Mrs. Winters actually brought him a wave of relief.

If Mrs. Winters filed for divorce now, his assets would be split down the middle. His wealth would plummet, and his pride would be shattered.

Now that Sienna was appointed Vice Chairwoman, he technically remained the Chairman. On the surface, his dignity was preserved for now.

"Sienna, I'll make her return everything that rightfully belongs to your mother."

He had caved. He didn't dare cross her.

Sienna's expression remained perfectly calm. "No need. How are you going to explain suddenly handing Mom all those things?"

Terrence was frantic, his mind a chaotic mess. He just wanted to follow Sienna's orders to protect his mistress and son.

Sienna sat on the sofa in the living room of Blackwood Manor, sipping her tea while scrolling through her text messages.

Mrs. Winters had moved into Blackwood Manor with her. They had given their previous home to Julian Winters and his family of four to live in—a calculated move to buy their loyalty.

Once Megan Winters found out Julian was pulling in a massive salary at Easton Group, her jealousy toward Sienna faded, quickly replaced by blatant sycophancy.

She practically lived at Blackwood Manor, dropping by constantly.

As she stepped into the estate, the envy in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Blackwood Manor was three times the size of the Winters estate. It featured a stunning modern courtyard with a massive koi pond. Every golden koi swimming in the water was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Beneath the sunlight, the water shimmered with a blinding, luxurious brilliance.

"Sienna, Hayden is so generous to you. He really loves you. This house is massive and so grand. Your cousin used to dabble in antiques, so I know a thing or two about this stuff.
