Half-Hearted: Mr. Sinclair, Stop the Act!-Chapter 212: Was It All Sienna Monroe’s Scheme?

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Was It All Sienna Monroe’s Scheme?

Sienna Monroe walked silently forward, her outline slightly tense.

Her expression showed no visible emotion.

As they approached the fork leading to the courthouse entrance, Sebastian Prescott suddenly reached out and stopped her.

"The entrance is swarmed with reporters and media right now. Going there would be like walking into the lion’s den."

"Reporters and media?"

Sienna Monroe paused, stopped in bewilderment, unable to process for a moment.

"It’s about the prostitution case at Radiance Beauty Spa."

Sienna Monroe suddenly understood, those reporters and media were all here for the case.

Of course.

After all, the prostitution scandal at the beauty spa had taken the entire internet by storm and involved half of Imperial City’s elite families.

This was unprecedented.

Today’s session marked the beginning of the trial, naturally drawing a lot of attention.

It’s likely that for the next couple of days, this case will dominate the hot search lists.

Sebastian Prescott said, "June Ewing’s defense lawyer is Oscar Chambers from Valiant Law Firm. He’s quite famous in the criminal defense circle, rumored to be specifically hired by Caleb Sinclair for June Ewing."

Sienna Monroe nodded, not making any comment.

This was understandable.

Leaving other matters aside, June Ewing was Caleb Sinclair’s mother, who had raised him with hardship, and it was only natural to put effort into such matters.

Besides, what June Ewing did was well-known and undeniable.

No matter how excellent the lawyer defending her is, could he manage to acquit her in court?

At most, the sentence might be reduced by a year or two.

But for June Ewing, who was already in her fifties, it hardly made a difference.

If the sentence was twenty years, she would be over seventy when she got out.

Sienna Monroe curled her lips and left towards the side door with Sebastian Prescott.

As Sienna Monroe ignored her, Vivian Nash stood dazed.

The impact of embarrassment, anger, grievance, and self-pity surged from all directions.

A huge wave slapped her hard against the reef.

She had lowered herself, seriously and sincerely apologized.

Unexpectedly, Sienna Monroe did not appreciate it!

She secretly gritted her teeth in frustration, fearing that others at the courthouse might notice, she clenched her fists and walked slowly forward.

The less than ten-meter-long corridor felt like an eternity.

When she reached the intersection of the civil and criminal courts, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

At that moment, Caleb Sinclair lacked his usual gentle elegance, his handsome and pale face resembling a rain-drenched day.

His eyes were red, as if he was hit by something.

Beside him was a middle-aged man in a suit, holding a briefcase.

Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be a lawyer.

Her eyes glittered, without thinking much, she felt delighted, instinctively wanting to call out to Caleb.

But, inappropriately, the New Year’s Eve filled with wind and snow flashed through her mind.

Caleb Sinclair was so ruthless and heartless.

A freshly boiling heart was instantly doused with a basin of icy water from the cold depths of winter.

Completely chilled.

No warmth could be felt anymore.

Her pale lips pressed tightly, swallowing the two words she almost uttered.

She watched helplessly as Caleb Sinclair walked away.

Finally vanishing entirely from her view.

After a long while, there was an unexpected "ding" from her Chanel bag.

It was a text notification.

She came back to reality, pulled out her phone, and read the text message.

It was from that mysterious stranger’s number, informing her on New Year’s Eve, that Sienna Monroe and Caleb Sinclair had divorced.

"All the scandalous reports about you and Caleb Sinclair before the New Year were orchestrated by Sienna Monroe. Sienna Monroe is much smarter than you think, with deep scheming, completely playing both you and Caleb Sinclair.

Previously, June Ewing was used by Sienna Monroe as a pawn to eliminate you and your unborn child, even the tarnishing of your reputation was part of her plan."

Vivian Nash paused, widening her eyes in shock.

Her heart raced uncontrollably.

This string of messages carried an undertone of contempt and mockery for her, even disdain.

She held her breath, overwhelmed by indescribable anger consuming her insides.

The eyes that were previously brimming with tears were now blurred as if pondering the past by gazing afar.

The explicit photos and intimate pictures sent to the art gallery, Cheryl Talbot "accidentally" dropping those photos on the ground. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Sienna Monroe, as mediator, kindly advised her to suspend her job and rest.

Then came the "taking a concubine for the husband" incident, her mother coming to Imperial City, Sienna Monroe’s miscarriage, June Ewing sent people to capture her, leading to her own miscarriage...

These fragments, thanks to the text reminder, seemed to be perfectly linked by an invisible thread.

Suddenly, she no longer cared about the contempt and ridicule expressed in the message.

Her mind focused on one thought.

All these things were Sienna Monroe’s doing?!

It truly was her!

She had suspected before that it was Sienna Monroe, but couldn’t be certain.

Alright then.

Knowing Sienna Monroe for so many years, she never imagined Sienna Monroe had such cunning and depth.

She bit her lower lip hard, recalling Sienna Monroe’s sarcastic and scornful comments earlier.

The anger she tried to suppress was now uncontrollable.

She was the one who brought her to this predicament, yet how dare Sienna Monroe speak those self-righteous words.

Judging and belittling her from on high.

What qualification did she have?!

What right did she have?!

Sienna! Monroe!

She gritted her teeth with deep-seated hatred, "I definitely won’t let you have it easy! You’ll see!"

Outside the courthouse, Caleb Sinclair and June Ewing’s proxy lawyer were practically surrounded by reporters.

Sienna Monroe and Sebastian Prescott left quietly through the side door.

By noon, the two of them randomly picked a restaurant on their way back.

After ordering, Sienna Monroe remembered to ask, "You said before, that the property retrieved from Vivian Nash because it belongs to the shared marital assets with Caleb Sinclair,

needs to be redistributed, what should we do now?"

Sebastian Prescott pushed the poured red tea towards her, saying leisurely, "Have some tea to smooth the throat."
