Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 481 - 459: Have You Ever Looked in the Mirror? (21 Updates)
Ian Grant, upon hearing this, took advantage of Quentin Thorne’s unawareness and pushed him aside.
She looked at Quentin Thorne, who was about to be out of options in this situation, and then at Sienna Thornton, who was almost yielding to her. Suddenly, she showed a strange smile: "At the return banquet, I will appear as the hostess! I’ll greet the guests with Thornton! This is my right as Mrs. Thorne!"
Sienna Thornton laughed after hearing this, at first she just smiled faintly, but eventually laughed lightly. She raised her eyebrows at Ian Grant and asked with a smile: "Then the guests will misunderstand that I am your daughter. You don’t mind?"
Ian Grant hadn’t expected this angle; she simply didn’t want Melinda Linton and Quentin Thorne to sit together and receive everyone’s blessings, nor even if the blessings were for their daughter.
Therefore, Sienna Thornton’s question suddenly made her realize that she also hated this girl, wishing this girl would disappear from the world, let alone take her as a daughter?
Ian Grant sat up straight, looked at Sienna Thornton with her chin raised, and snorted: "Considering you’re Thorne family blood, as the daughter-in-law of the Thorne family, I can tolerate such a misunderstanding!"
Seeing Sienna Thornton just smiling at her without saying a word, she thought Sienna also didn’t reject the idea, and suddenly felt superior: "I’m the eldest daughter of the Grant Family, hosting your return banquet as the hostess, those who don’t know the inside story might think you’re the Grant family’s grandson. Such glory, such advantage you take for free! Even those who know the inside story and know you’re not my biological daughter will see me willing to step up to host your return banquet, thinking the Grant family accepts you, they’ll at least give you some face!..."
She wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Quentin Thorne’s roar.
Quentin Thorne couldn’t stand it any longer and cursed: "Ian, are you out of your mind?"
Ian Grant was stupefied, looked at Quentin Thorne, and then at the smile on Sienna Thornton’s face, which was gradually freezing.
Sienna Thornton’s face was full of sarcasm, coldly looking at her for a few seconds, and asked: "You’ve lived for decades, haven’t you ever looked in a mirror?"
Ian Grant didn’t understand this sentence for a moment.
Sienna Thornton chuckled and then asked: "Who gave you the confidence to think you could give birth to a daughter like me?"
When she said this, she slowly stood up.
The high-waisted skirt in maroon was matched with a white turtleneck sweater. The sweater was light and fitted, almost outlined her upper body’s curves without any concealment.
The waist was slender and soft, the abdomen was flat, the arms’ curves were proportionate and slender. Her most beautiful feature, her neck, long and swan-like white, although now covered by the turned-up collar, still showed her elegant and beautiful neck curve.
Sienna Thornton placed her hand on the table, slightly leaned over, and looked down at Ian Grant.
She sneered aloud, one exquisite corner of her lips curving upward in a pleasant arc: "Please take a closer look at me, are you sure you could give birth to a daughter like me?"
Ian Grant stared blankly at her, finally understanding she was mocking her poor genes, mocking Mina Thorne as ugly.
Mina Thorne naturally heard it too, quietly putting down the chopsticks in her hand and went upstairs in silence.
Sienna Thornton looked emotionlessly at the figure, wiped off the smile from her face, slowly stood up straight, crossed her arms over her chest, and returned her gaze to Ian Grant, saying coldly: "I suggest you accumulate some virtue for your daughter, and for yourself as well. You needn’t worry about my return banquet, focus more on your own affairs!"
After speaking, she went upstairs without looking back. Before entering the room, she heard Quentin Thorne’s roars, Ian Grant’s cries and chaos coming from downstairs.
Sienna Thornton shook her head, locked the room door securely.
When she went to work the next day, she didn’t see Ian Grant nor Quentin Thorne; the two were nowhere to be found early in the morning. She couldn’t be bothered to ask, planned to tell Quentin Thorne tonight that she’d move back to Melinda Linton’s place tomorrow, never wanting to see Ian Grant again.
But Quentin didn’t come home that night; she waited until very late and didn’t see him. When she was about to sleep and called Simon Forrester, she heard from him that Quentin Thorne and Ian Grant spent the whole day at the Grant family’s old residence, seeming to really reach the point of divorce.
Hearing these things, Sienna Thornton felt quite troubled inside. Honestly, she never intended to ruin Quentin Thorne’s family; yesterday’s rebellion was indeed Ian Grant’s excessive bullying, unreasonable making trouble and harassment.
But if Ian Grant really divorced Quentin Thorne, outsiders wouldn’t know the reason for the divorce was Ian provoked Quentin repeatedly, disregarding the good life, forcing Quentin to the brink. Outsiders will only remember it was after Sienna moved into the Thorne family, Quentin Thorne and his wife divorced.
That way, Sienna truly becomes a sinner.
She couldn’t sleep all night, tossing and turning, so she simply got up to pack her luggage, packed until midnight, and heard the sound of a car entering the courtyard. She ran to the window to take a peek.
Seeing Quentin Thorne return alone, she threw on a coat and headed downstairs.
Quentin Thorne had just changed into his slippers and was about to enter the house, when he saw her appear, he was surprised: "Why aren’t you asleep so late?"
He looked exhausted, seemingly thinner than before.
Sienna felt distressed, asked: "Are you hungry? Shall I make you a late-night snack?"
Quentin Thorne, upon hearing this, smiled: "I wasn’t hungry until you mentioned it." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Then go take a shower first, I’ll quickly whip something up for you."
"Alright."
Sienna entered the kitchen, opened the fridge, not finding many ingredients, so she took an egg, half a piece of seaweed, and a portion of frozen dumplings.
She made seaweed egg soup and steamed dumplings, and when she took it into the study, Quentin Thorne had already showered, sitting at the desk reading.
Sienna placed the snack in front of him on the desk, smiled: "Dad, eat it while it’s hot."
"Thank you."
Quentin Thorne ate while chatting with her, without waiting for her to ask, he briefly mentioned not going to the office today, taking Ian Grant back to the Grant family, and asking Old Master Grant to preside over justice.
Learning that Old Master Grant ordered Ian Grant not to meddle with Sienna’s marriage with the Forrester family, Sienna felt relieved.
But later, thinking again, if it were just for this, it wouldn’t have needed a whole morning discussion, only to return late at night.
She hesitated whether to ask Quentin Thorne, and Quentin, seeing her hesitating thoughts, guessed her concerns, then told her that this time, he was determined to divorce Ian Grant, so he spent the entire day negotiating with The Grant Family about this issue.
The Grant Family naturally disagreed, which caused it to drag on until so late.
"Then the result?" Sienna Thornton asked. "What was the final result?"
Quentin Thorne finished eating, wiped his mouth with a napkin, then said: "Mainly considering that Mina hasn’t married yet, if this marriage can be preserved, I still want to preserve it. But as you saw, Mina’s mom has become too crazy now, if I continue living with her, I’ll either go insane or suffer from a nervous breakdown."
