I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 99

Sienna finally peeled her eyes away from the magazine.

A second later, she violently smashed her coffee cup onto the floor right at Zoe's feet.

Her expression was dark and venomous as she glared at Zoe.

"Are you talking to me?"

Zoe stood up, staring down at her.

There wasn't a trace of submission in her eyes. Instead, she radiated the same untouchable, aristocratic coldness Sienna remembered from the very first time they met.

"Who else?"

Sienna was stunned for a moment, then tossed the magazine aside.

A cold sneer curled on her lips.

"Asking me for money? Zoe, are you out of your mind?"

Zoe grabbed her wrist. Her reflection in Sienna's eyes looked exactly like the Zoe from years ago.

Completely fearless, looking at her with a hint of absolute disdain.

That look pierced Sienna to the core.

She had always despised Zoe's arrogant face, hating her from the very bottom of her soul.

"Are you paying me back, or are we going to court?"

Zoe's tone made it clear this wasn't an empty threat.

Sienna burst into laughter.

She violently yanked her hand back, her face twisted in utter revulsion and arrogance.

"You practically begged me to take that money, remember? Do you really think I care about a measly forty million dollars?"

Sienna spread her arms, standing framed against the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of her office.

With her red lips and stunning features, she tried to use her corporate-elite aura to suppress Zoe's natural beauty.

"The entire Thorne estate is mine. Do you think I care about your pocket change? If you hadn't begged me to take it, I wouldn't have even glanced at it."

Sienna looked at Zoe as if she were a pathetic clown.

Every word she spoke dripped with contempt.

As if taking Zoe's money was some grand act of charity.

Zoe picked up the cup of tea from the table and poured it directly over Sienna's head.

Sienna never expected Zoe to be so ruthless.

The scalding tea made her shriek in pain.

Her high-end designer suit and perfectly styled hair were instantly soaked in brown liquid.

Sienna's hand froze mid-air.

She didn't know what had gotten into Zoe lately. Even Hayden had suffered at her hands back at the estate.

But...

Zoe was supposed to be madly in love with Hayden.

Why was she acting like this?

Unless...

Sienna's eyes darkened in realization.

But Zoe wasn't going to let her stall.

"Give me a deadline for the money. Otherwise, don't blame me when I ruin you."

Sienna clenched her fists, pretending to casually brush her wet hair back.

She kept the smile on her face, but a deep sense of panic was setting in.

"What about Hayden? Do you not want him anymore? Because if you want me to let you have him—"

Zoe cut her off impatiently.

"Hayden is my husband. If you touch him, you're the other woman. Where do you get off saying you'll 'let me have him'? He crawls into my bed every single night. I'm already sick of him. If you want him, be my guest."
