I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 676

Facing Clara's fury, Sienna only wept.

Clara comforted her for a long time, swearing to go to the Thorne Manor and find Mrs. Nita Thorne on her behalf.

Sienna knew that only if Mrs. Nita Thorne stepped in would there be a glimmer of hope.

That old bat at the Thorne family didn't seem to care much about her son, Holden, lately.

In the past, Grandmother Beatrice Thorne was always nagging her to bring Holden to the estate.

But ever since that bitch Zoe gave birth to a son, her Holden had fallen out of favor.

Sienna couldn't understand why the old lady cared so much about a nursing infant.

It wasn't like Zoe was dead, whereas Holden's father was legitimately deceased.

After hanging up with her daughter, Clara pulled herself together. She spent her meager remaining funds on getting her hair done, bought a decent-looking outfit, and took a taxi to the Thorne Estate.

Nita Thorne had just returned from playing cards. Seeing Clara, the corners of her eyes twitched upward in annoyance.

She hadn't wanted to entertain her, but the servants had already let her in.

"In-law—" The moment Clara opened her mouth, the tears started flowing.

Nita frowned. Seeing Clara's weeping face put her in a foul mood.

Out of politeness—or rather, out of respect for Sienna and Holden—she remained cordial. She didn't offer tea, simply saying coldly, "Sit."

"In-law, please help Sienna."

Clara's tears flowed before she even finished her sentence. Lately, she had cried so much her eyes were swollen shut.

Nita replied, "Clara, put your tears away. No one died in my house. What will the servants think?"

She was being polite enough. Had it been anyone else, she would have kicked them out by now.

Clara was terrified Nita would wash her hands of the matter.

"Sienna is having a very hard time abroad."

Nita's face darkened instantly.

"Hard time? She has the nerve to say that?"

Nita only found out from the other society ladies during her card games that the company had filed for bankruptcy.

Sienna had fled so fast, leaving Hayden to clean up the entire mess alone.

Nita had always thought Sienna was highly capable, especially when she made the Global Chinese Rich List. Nita had been thrilled.

She boasted everywhere about her competent daughter-in-law, even dropping hints that she wanted Hayden to marry Sienna.

Looking back, it was completely humiliating.
