Chapter 45: Helena Bennett's Eyes Burned with Pure Hatred

“Why are you still standing there? Get out!”

Helena Bennett’s eyes burned with pure hatred as she glared at Sienna Bennett. “Leave this instant! The Bennett family has no room for a disgraceful homewrecker like you!” No matter how loudly they shouted, Sienna didn’t flinch. Her expression remained unreadable, as though she were watching a pitiful circus act. Realizing Sienna wouldn’t budge, Sophia Carlisle turned sharply to the sales manager. “What are you waiting for? Remove this shameless woman immediately! If she stays, we’re not buying a single thing from Aurelia Gems.”

The store’s general manager, Beatrice Worthington, had heard about the pigeon-blood ruby purchase. Her eyes lit up with greed. She stepped forward, scowling at Sienna. “Madam, you need to leave. Aurelia Gems is an exclusive establishment. We don’t just allow anyone inside.”

“Madam Worthington, store policy clearly states that every customer deserves—”

“Enough! She’s nothing but a despised outsider. Why show her respect? She clearly has none for herself, especially trying to ruin Miss Vanessa’s special day. I can’t stand people like her.” She snapped her fingers. “Security! Escort her out immediately.”

Several guards moved to obey. Just then, the driver from the vehicle outside stepped in. He was a tall American dressed in a sharp black suit that screamed professional agent. His presence commanded immediate attention. The crowd stared, mesmerized. Even a delivery guard was this strikingly handsome? Vanessa Bennett straightened her posture, feeling a surge of superiority. “Since the ring has arrived, bring it to me,” she said, her voice dripping with false elegance. The man didn’t even glance her way. He walked straight past her, a white box held securely in his hands.

Vanessa’s excitement grew with each of his steps. This rare gem was about to be hers, right in front of Sienna! No matter how much Sienna pretended not to care, she had to be seething inside. But then the man walked right past her without stopping. Vanessa’s eyes widened in shock. What was happening? He stopped directly in front of Sienna. “Boss Bennett, please inspect and sign for this delivery.” Silence. Everyone froze in disbelief. What did he just say? Boss Bennett? He was asking her to sign?

As the onlookers stood stunned, Sienna calmly opened the box. Inside lay nine exquisite diamond rings. The centerpiece was a stunning 3-carat heart-shaped pigeon-blood ruby, deep red like true passion and genuine love.

“Boss Bennett, if everything meets your approval, please sign here,” the man said professionally, handing her an invoice.

Sienna glanced over the rings, took the pen, and signed her name with swift precision.

“Thank you, Boss Bennett. It appears there’s some trouble here. Would you like assistance?” The man’s gaze swept coldly over the crowd.

Sienna handed the pen back. “Not necessary. You may go.”

“Understood.” He left, followed by the guards.

No one moved or spoke for a long moment. He had asked for Sienna’s signature? And with such deference? Could it really be…?
