Chapter 3. Threatening

Sienna's expression suddenly changed drastically. She instantly sat up straight. She said in surprise: "Father, what do you mean?"

Brian said coldly, "Sienna, the Millar family has been raising you for eighteen years. It's time for you to repay us!"

When Madam Millar saw that Brian was angry, she immediately turned around and begged Sienna, "Sienna, if you don't marry into the Reynolds Family, they will take back the money they lent us. That way, when that happens, the villa, our cars, our jewelry and our shares will all be gone! The Millar family will be bankrupt! No one will have the money to treat Steven!"

Sienna was very shocked.

That's right. If the Millar family went bankrupt, what about her brother?

If she had one only family member left in the world, then it was her brother, Steven.

But how could she marry someone else?

She wanted to be with Leon for the rest of her life!

Sienna left the living room in a daze. The moment Sienna left, a very coquettishly dressed girl slowly walked down the stairs.

She immediately wrapped her arms around Madam Millar's neck and said, "Mom, I don't want to marry that Reynolds Family’s son. He's just an adopted child. He doesn't even have the right of inheritance now. He's a useless person!"

Mrs. Millar's heart ached as she hugged the young girl, "Alright, you won't have to marry that man. Amelia, you are so beautiful, of course you will marry the best man. Since you do not want to marry him, let your elder sister marry him!"

"She is not my elder sister. She does not have the bloodline of the Millar family." Amelia said in disdain. Then, she changed her tone and said, "Even if I want to marry, I have to marry Ezekiel. He is the future leader of the Reynolds family."

Sienna went back to her room in a daze. The door closed and she leaned against the door. She slowly slid down and sat on the carpet all of a sudden.

She hugged her knees as tears streamed down her face.

She didn't even know whether Leon was alive or not, but her family actually let her replace Amelia and get married.

If she didn't marry off, the Millar family would cut off her brother's treatment fees.

But if she married...

What about Leon?

Why would God do this to her?

There was a knock on the door. "Sienna, I know you're in the room. Can Mom talk to you?"

Sienna's body stiffened and her fingers tightened.

After a moment of silence, she still opened the door.

Mrs. Millar did not care if her daughter had changed off her wet clothes as she walked in and said, "Sienna, I know you hate me. But I have no choice! Back then, I brought Steven and you to marry into the Millar family. You don't know how much suffering I've suffered. The Millar family also treated the two of you as their own. They gave you two the surname of the Millar family. They even provided you with books and treated your brother's illness. As you know, your brother's illness is probably not going to be cured in this lifetime. If there is no good hospital, he won't be able to live for long."

Sienna's lowered eyes hid endless sorrow.

"Every time I think that because of us, the Millar family would be forced into debt by the Reynolds family, I feel very guilty. If we don't have everything in front of us, what will you and Steven do?"

Mrs. Millar pretentiously wiped the corners of her eyes. "I am doing it for your own good. Although that person is just the adopted son of Reynolds family, he is still the eldest son of the Reynolds family. If you marry him, you will be Eldest Young Madam! Even if he is not the leader of the Reynolds family, Ezekiel would still care about his brother. He will let you live a life of wealth and glory."

Seeing Sienna remain unmoved, Mrs. Millar finally used her ultimate killing move. She turned around and burst into tears, "My life is so tough! I have three children in my life. One is a fool from a young age. One is not filial and wants to force me, this mother, to death! The poor Amelia is still so young and is a child without a mother. I might as well die now! What's the point of me living?"

Every time Mrs. Millar was like this, Sienna would compromise.

But this time, Sienna only lightly asked, “Mom, Leon has been filial to you since he was young. He would bring gifts to visit during festivals. He is in trouble now. Have you ever asked me about his situation?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Sienna's eyes instantly turned red and she almost burst into tears again.

"Isn't he already dead? He is just a dead person. What is there for me to ask?" Mrs. Millar blurted out, "If I didn't see some power in Leon's family, why would I agree to your relationship?"

Sienna closed her eyes hard and tears fell down.

She really did not want to admit that the person who said this was her mother.

In her eyes, other than Amelia and herself, who else did she care about?

"Besides, didn't I find you a better fiancé now? Sienna, don't be ungrateful. Compared to the Reynolds family, Leon’s family is nothing. Let me warn you. If you dare to refuse to marry him, I will immediately stop Steven's treatment!"

Mrs. Millar's patience ran out. She stood up straight and left the room without even looking at Sienna.

Listen to what she said? That was her son! She actually wanted to use her own son to threaten her daughter!

Listening to the door being closed, Sienna could no longer control her emotions. She hugged her knees and wailed.

A figure timidly stood in front of Sienna and timidly said, "Anna, your clothes are wet."

Sienna heard this voice and slowly raised her head.

Steven's charming face instantly entered Sienna's eyes.

Sienna immediately stood up and threw herself into Steven's arms, venting all of her grievances with tears.

No one in the Millar Family noticed her drenched in rain. Only her autistic brother noticed her.

"Brother..." Sienna tightly hugged Steven's waist and sobbed.

"Don't cry, Anna, don't cry." Steven's body stiffened, but he still mechanically stroked Sienna's head.

Sienna coaxed Steven to sleep and sat at the side in a daze.

From the moment she remembered, taking care of her brother became her responsibility.

She did not know when her brother had been diagnosed with autism. From then on, he would never communicate with anyone.

Other than Sienna who could approach him, no one else could approach him.

Sienna reached out her hand to gently stroke her brother's cheek and her heart became soft.
