Five Years Gone, She Returned a Billionaire
Chapter 475: The Family Turns on Sienna
Sienna was yanked back by Lucas’s firm grip, halting her exit. She turned to face him, her expression cool.
“What is it?”
Lucas’s gaze locked onto hers.
“Say the word, Sienna, and I’ll handle everything for you.”
Whether it was Vanessa or the entire Bennett clan. Why should she endure their daily accusations? A faint smile touched her crimson lips as she freed her arm.
“No need. I can manage my own affairs.”
“It will all be over soon.”
The more they despised her, the more thrilling tonight would become. Her dark eyes shimmered with anticipation and dark amusement. Sienna slept soundly through the night while the Bennetts descended into chaos. Henry Bennett exhausted his top connections searching for specialists. Every expert reported the same grim news: reviving Caleb was impossible. The family was crushed. Joey and Philip were tormented by nightmares of giant snakes coiling around them in their car. They worked tirelessly into the late evening, yet received no hopeful updates.
Lily, Felix, Sophia, along with distant relatives and close friends, crowded the hospital room. Henry believed more visitors might stimulate Caleb’s awakening. He remained unaware that Sienna had been disowned and her shares seized. Sophia, recently released from detention, sneered at Caleb’s unconscious form.
“This is Sienna’s evil work! She framed me, then Vanessa, and now she’s harmed Caleb!”
“She’s plotting to seize the entire Bennett fortune! How vile!”
“Helena never should have brought that witch into our home.”
“She’s ruined everything and got our Sophia imprisoned!” Lily complained bitterly.
The room erupted into accusations against Sienna. A soft voice spoke up timidly, “We can’t blame Sienna for what happened to Sophia.”
“Sophia harmed her first…”
“Silence!” Sophia glared furiously at the young woman.
“How dare you defend Sienna now? Do you want to end up in a hospital bed too?”
The speaker was Lillian Bennett, Henry’s brother’s granddaughter. A twenty-year-old music student, she lowered her head and fell silent under Sophia’s wrath. From the crowd, Logan scoffed.
“No one knows if Sienna actually harmed Caleb.”
“Don’t be too surprised when the truth emerges.”
“Who else could it be? She benefits the most if something happens to Caleb!”
“She wants the Bennett assets! You work for her—get out of this room!”
“Don’t upset Caleb!” Sophia shouted.
The ward descended into noisy arguments. Henry stared at Caleb’s still form, his heart aching with panic and grief.
“Oh, Caleb, what happened? Wake up and tell us the truth.”
“Everyone is condemning Sienna. If she’s innocent, do you want her blamed?”
Seeing Henry’s silence, the family grew louder.
Some took out their phones to post:
[You’re too young to leave us! Wake up! We’ve avenged you—wake up and confront her!]
Nearly every Bennett reposted the post, further destroying Sienna’s reputation.
#BennettsHarmed trended as the hottest topic online.
The entire family despised their ungrateful adopted daughter. Amid the chaos, Lillian asked again, “By the way, where’s Vanessa? Why hasn’t she come today?”
