My eldest daughter , Sienna Hart . " Aiden announced , dead serious . The moment the news broke , the room erupted in chaos . Hart Corporation's old shareholders leaped to their feet , stunned beyond belief . One of them couldn't hold back , exclaiming , " Sienna ? You mean your eldest daughter Sienna ? " They were over the moon to hear that Miss Sienna was still alive and kicking . Aiden's face went rigid . These old - timers had always given him a hard time , but now they were practically grinning from ear to ear . He gave a tight nod . " That's right . She's been studying abroad all these years . Now she's back . " " Sienna ? Never heard of her . " one skeptic scoffed . " Mr. Hart , you're not getting played , are you ? Your eldest daughter died in that plane crash . No way anyone walked away from that . " " Exactly . " Another chimed in . " We can't just hand the company over to some stranger . " " Hart Corporation isn't some joke . Mr. Hart , think carefully . " " Even if she's your daughter , that doesn't automatically give her a seat at the table . What's her track record ? " another challenged . " The fact that I'm the largest shareholder of Hart Corporation . " A cool , sharp voice cut through the chaos . Before anyone saw her , the words alone sent an icy ripple down every spine in the room . The door swung open . A statuesque woman strode in , her gold - trimmed black dress catching the light with every measured step . She moved with the regal grace of a monarch commanding attention . Though Aiden stood a solid six feet tall , her heels brought them nearly nose to nose . The entire room seemed to hold its breath under the weight of her presence , " Miss Sienna , it really is you ! " someone blurted out , eyes lighting up with surprise and joy . Sienna gave a slight nod . Just then , Reno burst in . " Gentlemen , Hart Corporation belongs to Miss Enna . If you don't believe it , check the files . Mr. Hart was only managing it on her behalf . " Aiden's face clouded over at that . One of the objectors scoffed , " Who cares if the company's yours ? Mr. Hart has been running Hart Corporation all these years , and now you just waltz in and kick him out ? What kind of daughter does that ? " " Exactly ! Forget whether you're capable of running this company . What right has a young woman like you got to sit in that chair ? " another one chimed in . " We won't stand for her . Mr. Hart , you're our only boss . If you don't come back , we quit ! Several others jumped in with the threat . Aiden was touched by their loyalty . But Sienna didn't bat an eyelid . She already knew these were Linda's people , cramped into the company over the years but doing nothing useful . She had been trying to figure out how to get rid of them , and now they handed her the perfect chance . " Fine . " Her voice was ice . The objectors smirked , figuring a few threats would intimidate Sienna . But their smugness didn't last a second . " Everyone who just said ' we quit , head straight to HR and hand in your resignations . No negotiating " Sienna went on , leaving those objectors stunned . They couldn't believe what they were hearing . Sienna's sharp gaze cut across the room . " You wanted to quit ? Then quit . " Those men froze , suddenly realizing she meant every word . Panic set in as they scrambled for excuses . Aiden opened his mouth to speak , but then his eyes fell on the name Selina Bayer written on the documents in front of him . His mind went blank . " Mr. Hart , we've been with you for years . Now she's actually firing us . How can you just stand there? Say something ! " they begged Aiden desperately Aiden took a deep breath , ready to plead for them . But Sienna cut him off with a cold look . " Father , you got something to say ? " me hesitated , the started , " Sienna , they've worked at the company for a long time . Maybe you can take that into account . " 172 Chapter 34 Father , did you not hear them? " She tilted her head . " They said they quit . Loud and clear . Everyone here heard it . " Aiden had to shut his mouth . Reno , meantime , was counting how many of them just quit . " Miss Enna , twelve people in total . " " You're going too far . Firing us the second you walk in ? You're not here to run the company . You're here to ruin it . " " Go ahead , fire us . Let's see how this place keeps running without us . You'll be begging us to come back . " They were all shouting now , hurling threats like punches . Sienna didn't even blink . She leaned back in her chair , fingers steepled , her icy gaze sweeping over them . " Don't let the door hit you on the way out . " Fuming but stuck for words , the twelve stormed out , muttering curses under their breath . They were still dead sure the company would fall apart without them and that Sienna would end up begging them to come back . The conference room was nearly empty now , with just a few old - timers left . These loyalists from Selina's time had stayed on , waiting for Sienna to come back . Now that she really was here , their eyes misted over . " Miss Sienna , " they murmured softly , voices choked with emotion . Sienna's expression softened slightly . " I'm grateful you stayed all these years , uncles . This means everything to my mother and to me . " The old - timers reaffirmed their loyalty to Sienna , saying they truly trusted she would lead Hart Corporation back to success . Seeing how deeply they believed in her , Sienna felt a swell of warm emotions . She silently vowed not to let them down . Word of the leadership change spread like wildfire . While other employees huddled in hushed conversations , Reno buzzed around the workspace , arranging fresh flower bouquets and polishing every surface to a mirror shine . Satisfied with her handiwork , she finally approached Sienna with a stack of documents . " Miss Enna , the resignation paperwork is prepared for your approval , " she announced and then hesitated .
