Ford's face turned completely pale.
Sienna stood there, her fingers tightly gripping the cuff of her lab coat. She had expected Silas to be fair, but she hadn't expected him to be so intimately familiar with her past.
Silas's words made her eyes burn and a lump form in her throat.
She had never experienced this feeling of truly being seen.
Finn watched the scene unfold.
From the bottom of his heart, he was happy for Sienna.
Silas could give her a platform, give her trust, and use a simple "I naturally know my own doctors far better than you do" to shield her from all the mudslinging when she was framed.
Ford's pride was entirely shattered.
If The Fletcher Group didn't desperately need the Hayes family right now, he would never have swallowed this humiliation!
A dark, sinister look surfaced in his eyes as his gaze swept back and forth between Silas and Sienna.
He suddenly realized something.
But he didn't dare say it out loud; instead, he let the thought twist into a filthy, malicious plan.
He would bide his time to exact a brutal revenge and deliver a fatal blow to Sienna later.
Just then, Ford's executive assistant, Liam Lowen, rushed in and whispered something in his ear.
Ford's expression changed dramatically, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Director Hayes, my deepest apologies for today. I'll take my leave now."
With that, he hurried away.
His retreating figure looked both wretched and panicked.
Angeline Ashford scrambled up from the corner and rushed out with her head down.
Sienna happened to be standing by the door and couldn't dodge in time.
Finn reacted quickly, reaching out to pull her back.
His large hand gripped her arm, yanking her to the side.
Sienna felt her entire body being pulled by a strong force, her shoulder crashing into Finn's solid chest.
His scent instantly washed over her—crisp, clean, with a hint of woody notes.
She was far too familiar with it.
As their eyes met, Sienna was drawn into his deep, stormy gaze, momentarily losing herself.
"Dr. Sterling, it's almost noon. Shall we get lunch together?"
Silas's voice rang out right on cue.
