Chapter 215: Sienna Arrived Expecting to Witness a Spectacle

Sienna arrived expecting to witness a spectacle, but Lucas’s sudden entrance with Noah disrupted everything. Their bold statements risked exposing their hidden relationship to her family. She shot a warning glance toward Noah, but the boy feigned innocence perfectly. “Did I say something wrong?” he pressed, widening his eyes. “Why is no one taking action? Does the Bennett family condone women like her?” He paused dramatically, turning toward Lucas with feigned urgency. “Daddy, you must never work with these people! They’re defending someone so vile. Families like this can’t be trusted.”

His words sent a chill through the room, particularly unsettling the Prescotts. The Harringtons' arrival had initially seemed like a promising opportunity, but now it threatened disaster. Would this scandal get them blacklisted? Margaret Prescott rushed forward, forcing a smile. “Young Master Harrington has such a sharp sense of humor! Of course we don’t support her. We fully agree with the decision! Helena, Henry, send Vanessa to Africa immediately. She shouldn’t remain in the country any longer.”

Henry Bennett understood the gravity of the situation. Vanessa’s reputation was irreparably damaged, and offending the Harringtons was not an option. He gestured grimly to his head of security. “Marcus, take her home and ensure she packs her belongings.”

“Yes, sir,” Marcus Donovan replied, stepping forward to forcibly remove Vanessa.

Pale with rage, Vanessa felt nothing but bitter hatred. This was all Sienna’s doing, yet everyone turned against her. Lucas’s interference had only made things worse. A woman like Sienna didn’t deserve such protection. She didn’t deserve Lucas Harrington! Her fury finally erupted. “Sienna Bennett! Everyone will learn the truth about what you did today! Karma will destroy you for framing me! I will never forgive you! Never!” Her hysterical screams echoed through the hall, dripping with venom.

The guests were stunned. No one had expected the gentle Vanessa to reveal such a vicious side. A few even wondered if Sienna might truly be at fault. But Sienna remained unbothered. The evidence she held was more than enough to ruin Vanessa completely. Her priority now was to leave, to put distance between herself and Lucas before their relationship was exposed.

She turned to Henry. “Grandfather, I’ll leave the rest to you. I need to be alone.” Without another word, she walked away, her white gown flowing behind her. Her departure painted a tragic picture, and sympathetic sighs followed her exit. Henry glanced at Reginald, signaling him to approach. “Mr. Harrington, thank you for supporting the Bennetts today. If you have time, would you care to stay for tea?”

“My apologies,” Lucas declined smoothly. “I came to discuss an urgent business matter with Sienna. I must excuse myself.” Taking Noah’s hand, he followed Sienna out.

Henry watched them leave, his expression deeply contemplative.
