Chapter 39

“Grandma?” On the other end, Josiah was busy, “What’s the matter?”

“What’s the matter! You did a good job!” Miranda couldn’t hold back her anger and scolded, “You need to get over here–right now!” Then she hung

Sienna returned with the dirty laundry and noticed something was off with Miranda’s expression. “Miranda, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell!”

“Sienna. Miranda grabbed her hand, tears starting to flow. “How could you endure this kind of injustice and not tell me?”

She raised the phone in her hand, saying, “Gilbert has been pushing you to handle the maintenance and transfer paperwork!”

Hearing that. Sienna’s heart sank… She screwed up,

“Grandma, what’s so urgent!” Josiah rushed over, still unaware of what had happened.

When he saw that Miranda seemed fine, but noticed Sienna staying close to her, a wave of anxiety washed over him.

“You come here,” Miranda ordered, trying to suppress her anger. “Come here in front of me

“Oh, alright” Josiah didn’t know what was going on, but he couldn’t ignore Miranda’s command, so he immediately dropped everything and rushed

“Grandma… As soon as Josiah got dose, he opened his mouth, but before he could finish, he got slapped in the face. Naturally, it was Miranda who did it.

“Grandma“” Josiah was stunned, looking dazedly at Miranda. “Why d

did you hit mer

“Why?” Miranda scoffed, having not been this serious in many

any years, Josiah had an ominous feeling creeping in.

Josiah, do you think you don’t need to discuss anything with me anymore?” Miranda said.

“What’s the matter?” Josiah didn’t understand. Hadn’t Miranda stopped asking about the Flynn Group’s matters a long time ago? As for the family business, he had handed that over to Yvelle years ago.

“Grandma, be clear about what you mean. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked over at Sienna, who had been silent. Could it be. Sienna’s eyes dropped, avoiding his gaze. Josiah felt a rush of panic and blurted out, “Sienna, you…..”

“Shut up!” Miranda interrupted, “You dare to yell at Sienna? So you don’t want her anymore, or is it her fault?”

Just as he thought! Josiah’s brows furrowed tightly, irritation evident on his face. With a sudden force, he glared at Sienna, “What did we talk about! You promised me, and now you’re going back on your word! Running to Grandma to complain

Since Miranda already knew, he had no reason to hide it anymore,

Sienna opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words to explain. Even though she hadn’t been the one to complain, it was indeed because of her… She should have kept her phone put away. Bowing her head, she said softly. “I’m sorry”

“Im sorry?”

* Josiah’s anger fl

flared again, his cold laugh biting, “Grandma is this angry, and you think you can just take no responsibility?” “That’s enough!” Miranda couldn’t watch it any longer. “Josiah, even if I end up sick from being angry, the responsibility lies with you, not with

“Grandma..” Josiah felt helpless. Who was really her grandson, him or Sienna

“A divorce?” Miranda’s eyes turned red, her voice trembling. “How could you promise me that? Yes, Sienna made a mistake, but she’s been sent abroad for four years! Is that not enough?*

“Grandma,” Josiah rubbed his forehead, trying to argue, “You’re only considering her, What about me! Have you thought that I don’t like her?” “Then who do you like?” Miranda shot back, her gaze piercing into him.

“1” In that instant, Josiah found himself at a loss for words.

Chapter 39

“Hmph.” Miranda let out a faint cold laugh but still spared her grandson some dignity. “You say I forced you to marry Sienna. I ask you, didn’t you nod back then! You agreed to it!”

She definitely had been trying to matchmake Sienna and her grandson, but if Josiah hadn’t agreed, what could she, as his grandmother, have done

to force him?

Recalling the past, Josiah fell silent. He couldn’t deny this. With a defeated look, he nodded, “Yes, then quickly added, “It was my mistake; I shouldn’t..

“Josiah.” Miranda interrupted him, refusing to accept his apology. “You’re an adult, you need to take responsibility for any decision you make! Sienna is someone you chose to marry! Now you want to just back out? What do you think she is? Are you willing to exchange her lifelong happiness for your mistakes?

Josiah had no arguments against that. He just lowered his head and stayed silent.

Miranda continued. “As long as I’m alive, the Flynn family won’t allow such a childish marriage!”

Josiah tried to plead for himself. “Sienna and I really aren’t suited for each other..”

“How long have you even been together?” Miranda disagreed. It hasn’t even been two months since your wedding, and she’s already gone. You won’t know if you’re a match unless you try!”

口

Suddenly, Miranda clutched her chest. That was her heart’s location!

“Grandma!” Both Josiah and Sienna panicked, rushing over to support Miranda. “Quick, call a doctor!”

“Got it!” Sienna responded, immediately darting out.

“Josiah” Miranda grabbed her grandson’s hand tightly. “You can’t treat Sienna like this… I know Yvette lost her baby, and you blame her. I’m upset

but Sienna didn’t mean any harm; she has a good heart. Considering she saved my life, don’t treat her poorly! Promise me…”

100.

“Okay, okay!” In that situation, did Josiah have any other choice? He held. Miranda’s hand and nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, I promise! I’ll promise you anything!

The doctor arrived, gave Miranda an injection, and conducted some checks. “There’s nothing serious; it’s just emotional distress. However, it’s best to avoid situations like this.”

“Understood. Thank you, Doctor.”

After the injection, Miranda fell asleep. Josiah stepped out of the hospital room, and Sienna followed closely behind him.

“Josiah” Sienna gathered her courage and spoke first.

“Hmm!” Josiah gave her a cold glance, in his eyes, she was just a backstabber who reported to others. Just say what you want to say: no need to keep complaining to Grandma.”

Sienna’s heart tightened, and she didn’t argue back. “I admit today was my fault, but it won’t change our divorce. I’ll say it again: whenever you’re free, I’m always”

“Enough” Josiah didn’t want to hear more of her pretentious words. “You know you can’t back out now. Is it fun saying this on purpose!” Sienna opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words. It was indeed a convenient coincidence, leaving her speechless.

“Ha” Josiah let out a short, cold laugh, glancing at her with disdain. “I don’t really get you. Is it entertaining to keep hanging onto me like this?” Without waiting for Sienna to answer, he stepped away. Sienna stood there, baffled, and rubbed her temples in frustration. She couldn’t help but think how unlucky she felt.

That night, at Maze Josiah didn’t show up. After Sienna’s performance, she returned to the backstage, where the makeup room was piled with flower baskets at the door and unide.

“Sienna” Henry flailed his arms with excitement. “Did you see? All these, plus what’s inside… they’re all from Mr. Flynn!”
