I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 428

She had checked the balance three times, just to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

Three million dollars. It was too massive a sum for her to hold onto personally, and she couldn't risk giving anyone a reason to gossip.

The best solution was to set up an educational fund under a corporate account.

She had informed Paxton Zane, asking to run the funds through Serenity Books.

Paxton's response over the phone was simple:

"Whatever you decide goes. You're the boss."

And so, she established the fund under the official account of Serenity Books.

The process was entirely transparent, with every expenditure recorded and the ledgers published regularly.

Her reasoning was simple: this money belonged to the Vance family. She was merely passing it along, refusing to take a penny more or keep a penny less.

"Who were you on the phone with?" Finn's voice came from behind her, carrying a hint of curiosity.

Sienna turned around, slipping her phone into her pocket.

In that moment, a lot ran through her mind.

Should she tell Finn about this or not?

Telling him meant revealing the origin of the three million dollars, which inevitably led back to Maeve.

Not telling him meant hiding something, which bordered on deception.

It was a difficult choice.

Meeting Finn's deep, striking eyes, Sienna pressed her lips together.

"I have a secret, and I can't tell you right now. Is that okay?"

Finn thought about it seriously for a moment. He didn't press her, simply nodding.

"Okay. If you're not telling me, you definitely have your reasons."

Sienna was stunned.

He believed her, no questions asked.

"What is it?" Finn noticed her dazed expression.

Snapping back to reality, Sienna lowered her eyes, her voice softening involuntarily.

"Is it possible for someone to be this good? Trusting me this much, without a single complaint?"

Finn took a half-step closer, looking down at her with an irrepressible smile in his eyes.
