Chapter 136: Sienna Bennett Observed the Unfolding Chaos Beside Vanessa Bennett

Sienna Bennett observed the unfolding chaos beside Vanessa Bennett when a new email notification flashed on her screen. She tapped it open immediately. The video attachment loaded instantly. Sienna subtly tugged at Vanessa’s sleeve. Noticing everyone was preoccupied with condemning Sienna, Vanessa discreetly glanced at the email. Her eyes widened in shock. Who could have sent this? Who was pulling the strings behind the scenes? Clearly, she wasn’t the only one who wanted Sienna destroyed. As long as Sienna faced conviction, the sender’s identity didn’t matter. Vanessa gave a nearly imperceptible nod.

Bianca Reyes stepped forward. “Everyone, quiet! An anonymous source just sent me a video. They claim it’s definitive proof!” She raised her phone high, pressing play. All eyes locked onto the screen. The video showed Sienna Bennett grabbing the top strawberry from the tower. It was clearly filmed by a staff member at close range. The quality was far superior to the grainy CCTV footage. As Sienna reached for the fruit, a fine powder visibly drifted from her palm. It dusted the strawberries beneath. The evidence was undeniable. The crowd erupted.

“This is it! She’s guilty!”

“Sienna Bennett! Confess! You’re caught red-handed!”

“No more lies! Admit your crime! Apologize to everyone!”

The screams of accusation filled the air. Vanessa knew the video was fabricated, but her performance was flawless. She stared at Sienna with feigned horror. “Sister… it really was you. I defended you. I trusted you. How could you be so wicked?” Her voice cracked with manufactured betrayal. Helena Bennett wrapped a comforting arm around her. “Vanessa, my dear, don’t upset yourself. I always warned you about her true nature. Sever all ties. She will only drag you down with her.”

Helena turned a venomous glare on Sienna. “Bringing you into the Bennett family was our greatest shame! Apologize now! Plead guilty!”

“Pay the compensation! Admit your guilt!”

“Sign the equity transfer! Stop disgracing the Bennett name!”

The mob closed in, their faces twisted with contempt. Just as Sienna drew a breath to respond, a new voice cut through the din.

“I have evidence to present!”

It was Miles Reed, dragging a frightened man toward the crowd. Confused murmurs rippled through the onlookers. Who were these men? Bianca’s face paled upon recognizing the man being dragged. Miles shoved the man forward into the clearing. His voice was hard, commanding. “Tell them the truth. Now.”
