Chapter 295
The crowd began to murmur and cast judgmental looks at Sienna, their eyes taking on a more lecherous edge.
Sienna hadn’t expected Halsey to get over it so quickly, let alone strike back like that. Flustered, she pushed through the crowd and ran off.
“Sienna!” Gilbert called out, chasing after her.
He grabbed her by the arm. “Sienna, are you mad at me?”
Sienna looked upset, her face flushed with embarrassment. She tried to pull away from him. “Gilbert, we can’t keep doing this. People are already talking about us.”
But Gilbert didn’t let go. Instead, he pulled her into a hug. “No, we don’t have to care about what others think. Sienna, tell me the truth–do you have feelings for me?”
Sienna, who had been pretending to be a fragile little flower all this time, blushed and nodded shyly. “Yes, I do.”
“Then let’s be together,” Gilbert said, his voice filled with excitement. “Tomorrow, in front of everyone, I’ll profess my love for you.”
Sienna’s eyes brightened. She knew she had won him over.
The Greenwood family was one of the wealthiest and most prestigious families in Hovendale. Marrying into that family would allow her to make a huge leap in status.
“Don’t you think we’re being a little unfair to Halsey?” she asked, her voice soft.
Just hearing Halsey’s name frustrated Gilbert.
How dare that ugly woman call off their engagement in front of everyone! Tomorrow, he would profess his love to Sienna and make sure Halsey saw it–he wanted to watch her cry and regret her decision.
But wait… Why was he still thinking about that ugly girl?
He didn’t want to think about her.
Gilbert reached up and cupped Sienna’s delicate face, a smile crossing his lips. What man could resist a beautiful woman? This face was what he liked. Halsey, with that hideous birthmark on her face, was far too unattractive.
“Don’t mention her. It ruins the mood,” he said, and then leaned in to kiss Sienna.
Sienna hesitated for just a moment before melting into the kiss, teasing him as he grew more desperate.
Gilbert, the typical 6’1” athlete with a good family background and a charming appearance, pushed Sienna up against the wall. His hands slid under her clothes, desperate to feel more.
Gilbert bit her earlobe and grinned wickedly. “Can’t even hold onto you with one hand.”
Sienna playfully punched him in the chest.

Half an hour later, Sienna and Gilbert pulled away from each other, their smiles sweet and satisfied. Sienna then took out her phone and called Jessica.
“What? Gilbert’s going to profess his love to you in front of everyone tomorrow?” Jessica answered, excited. “I have to be there. I want to see that uggo burst into tears!”
Jessica had never forgotten the humiliation Halsey had put her through at the Lincolns‘. Tomorrow, she would personally be there to watch Halsey squirm and make fun of her.

Sienna, still basking in the glow of her newfound happiness, smiled. “I’ll be waiting for you, Jessica. And tomorrow, it won’t just be Halsey crying, but Wendy too!”
Right, Wendy!
Wendy was her real target.
“Sienna, you’re so happy with Gilbert now, huh?” Jessica teased.
Sienna felt giddy, especially recalling the way Gilbert had pinned her against the wall earlier. The bad–boy athlete in him made her weak in the knees. “Thank goodness I listened to you, Jessica. You’re the best.”
Jessica laughed. “You’re going to be Mrs. Greenwood soon. can’t wait for the show tomorrow.”
Watching Halsey fight back so bravely made Wendy feel really proud. Halsey wasn’t letting her birthmark hold her back; in fact, she radiated warmth, like a little sun, with an endless source of energy.
Wendy went to get some hot water when she overheard two girls talking.
“Did you hear? Tomorrow, Gilbert’s going to profess his love to Sienna in front of everyone!”
“Halsey is so pathetic! Even though she was his fiancée, Gilbert obviously didn’t have feelings for her. Look at how he’s pampering Sienna.”
“I have to admit, Gilbert and Sienna really do make a perfect couple.”
