Chapter 70
“ Grandmal ” Josiah was more than worried .
Among the elite , marriage arrangements were quite common .
He had seen many marriages lacking affection , driven solely by family interests .
He was worried someone might marry Sienna merely for her position .
“ Enough ” Miranda remained calm .
“ Who is responsible for the namors and gossip she faced today ? ”
Josiah was momentarily speechless .
Miranda sighed .
“ What’s done is done , and this kind of gossip is unavoidable , ” She continued .
“ I can’t believe that in all of Jeiacrity , there’s not a single decent young man who genuinely cares for her and doesn’t mind her past ? ”
Miranda was very optimistic .
“ Let me tell you , matters of the hear are hard to predict
Sering Miranda was persistent .
Josiah couldn’t do anything about it .
Just then , Josiah looked around .
“ Where’s Siennal
“ Oh , I told her to wander around , ” Miranda said with a smile , “ I’ll make the big decisions , but she should make her own connections too .
Maybe fate will bring someone to her .
”
Despite Miranda’s kind intentions , Sienna couldn’t embrace it .
Miranda encouraged her to walk around and mingle with young people .
Having been away from Jeiacrity for so long , she wasn’t used to gatherings anymore .
Holding her plate , she found a quiet corner to sit in .
She was supposed to perform tonight , Josiah called Henry and said he was taking her out , and Henry agreed without hesitation .
Sienna looked down at the food on her plate , muttering softly , “ Eat more , practice more tonight .
Don’t worry about gaining weight .
”
A low chuckle came from beside her .
Suanded .
Sienna looked up .
“ Cedric ? ”
“ Yeah ” Cedric’s smile remained as he pointed to her plate , “ You’re rea the seat next to her .
“ Mind if I sit here ? ”
really skinny .
Eat more , don’t worry about gaining weight ,” He then pointed to
“ Not at all ”
Cedric sat down beside her , so close he could smell the subcle fragrance on her .
“ You- Cedric was a bit nervous , his Adam’s apple bobbing .
“ So you’re the adopted daughter of the Flynn family .
”
Sienna gave him a gentle smile and nodded .
“ Yes , when I was fifteen , I lost all my family , and Grandma adopted me ,” Curious , she asked , “ You didn’t
After all , back in the day , with her bad reputation , everyone in Jelacrity knew about her .
her name
they
seen her , they had definitely heard of
“ No ” Cedric shook his head and said honestly , I went abroad in middle school and just returned to Jriacrity not long ago
That
was why .
“I see , ” Sienna lowered her head and continued eating
“ Ahem , ” Cedric cleared his throat nervously , mustering up the courage .
“ You and Josiah – Are you two doing well ? ”
Sienna was surprised , wondering what he wanted to ask .
Cedric immediately realized that asking such a question to someone he had just met was quite abrupt .
“ Im sorry , I didn’t mean to pry into your personal life .
I’m just-
nina guessed he probably wanted to know her relationship with Josiah and whether she still had feelings for him .
Cedric blushed , unable to bring himself to ask .
“ Its fine .
” Sienna chackled softly , signaling him to relax .
“ Don’t worry , you’ve been abroad for years , so being curious is normal , ” She said .
“ Everyone in Jriarrity knows that he doesn’t like me .
Or rather , he hates me ,
teemed Cedric had heard a bit about them from Yosef .
So today’s birthday banquet was truly Miranda’s idea to find Sienna a match .
Cedric recalled , “ Did Mrs.
Flynn say that you just came back from studying overseas too ! Where did you study !”
“ Faraty
“ Krally ? ” Cedric was delighted .
“ Me , too .
Which school were you at Maybe we were classmates ! ”

Sienna chuckled , “ I don’t think so .
I majored in dance at Fliraty University of the Arts .
”
“ Oh , ” Cedric sounded a bit disappointed .
“ I went to another university .
Both schools are in Fliraty , but I never ran into you .”
“ Is that so ! ” Sienna ignored the latter part and gave him a thumbs – up .
“ Truly elite ! ”
Cedric smiled sheepishly .
“ It’s a great school , but I’m far from being an elite .
” “ Um , ” Cedric had another question .
“ Do you mind if I ask why are you dancing at Maze ? ”
With the Flynn family supporting her , she shouldn’t need to put herself out there like that .
His heart pounded as he asked , afraid she might be offended
But Sienna didn’t seem to mind .
She answered honestly , “ I need to work to support myself , I studied dance , so tell me , where else in Jeiserity can 1 cam more from dancing than at Maze ! Right !”
“ Right ” Cedric nodded with a smile .
She needed to earn money at Maze to support herself , which meant she wasn’t relying on Josiah anymore ,
“ You have a lot of questions .
Are you curious about me ? Did what they told you spark your curiosity ? ” Sienna squinted here slightly , and pointed to the bustling crowd .
Among them were many familiar faces .
reyes ,
lifted her chin
Back when she was “ notorious ,” she still knew quite a few of Jetacrity’s young talents .
“ What did they say about me ? ”
Uh Cedric froze , unsure of what to say
Sienna chuckled , shaking her head with indifference , “ Why are you nervous ? You don’t need to tell me , I already know .
They’re probably saying I’m arrogant , overbearing , acting all ferce – She took a deep breath , her smile widening .
“ It’s true ”
“ No.
you’re not Cedric interrupted her quickly before she could finish , his earnestness showing in his furrowed brow
“ Hmm ” Sienna was stunned , momentarily taken aback
“ I said , you’re not , Cedric’s honest face was filled with sincerity .
“ The Sienna I know is a girl who dances beautifully , shines on stage , smiles at strangers she passes , and hides in a quiet comer to eat at a crowded party .
”
This was how he saw Sienna .
No arrogance , no bossiness , and certainly not malicious
Sienna was taken aback , feeling a warm and misty sensation rising in her eyes .
After enduring long and unfair times , aside from Hannah , he was another person who gave her both praise and trust
Not far away , Josiah and Miranda stood side by side , watching them from a distance .
“ That kid ?” Miranda squinted , pondering “ He seems to be a Browne ? Is he Cedric ? Yes , it’s Cedric Miranda couldn’t stop praising him , “ Hmm , I think he’s quite nice , a good match for Sienna .
”
She pulled Josiah aside .
“ Look at them chatting away , let’s not interrupt them .
Give them some time .
Maybe they can get along ”
“ Alright ” Josiah turned around reluctantly , feeling like his chest was stuffed with cotton , making it hard to breathe .
