Sienna pulled out her phone and called Jessica. When Jessica heard that Halsey had waited for hours in the theater and came back drenched, she burst into laughter.

“This is too much! The Lincoln family’s darling, who? Who cares if she’s from a rich family? She’s just an uggo. Sienna, you’re amazing! Gilbert’s completely smitten by you now.”
Sienna smirked. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. There’s more to come tomorrow.”

“What are you doing here?“! Halsey asked, her voice a little shaky.
Gilbert looked at her with a dark expression. “Why did you send someone to hurt Sienna?”
Halsey was stunned. “Someone hurt–Sienna?”
“Yes!” Gilbert snapped. “They beat her up and warned her to never cross you again.”
Halsey was quick to respond. “I didn’t send anyone to hurt Sienna!”
