Chapter 38 Miles shook his head sharply . " That bitch almost cost us the SIE deal . I had to swallow a 20 % loss to salvage it . She should've been buried already . " His eyes darkened . " I'm just curious who the hell has the power to bankrupt a company in hours ? " His assistant gave a quick nod and rushed out to investigate . Miles barely had time to light a cigarette before his assistant came bursting back in . " Got it , " he panted , " It's Hart Corporation . " Miles's chair screeched as he shot to his feet . " What did you just say ? " Hart Corporation was the last name he expected to hear . ' That useless old peacock Aiden , all vanity and no brains , couldn't possibly have pulled this off . " " Hart Corporation has taken over Junior Quinn Group . The new CEO is not Aiden , " the assistant said . " It is someone called Miss Enna . No one has seen her yet . She just started this morning . But her assistant is Reno . " He swallowed hard after saying the name . Miles slammed his palm on the desk , eyes narrowing . " Reno ? That Reno we met abroad ? " " The same one , " his assistant confirmed . " I've only met her once , but that face isn't something you forget ." Memories came rushing back . Back then , they had expected some tough - as - nails male executive . Then appeared a pigtailed girl , lollipop twirling between her fingers . " Hi , I'm Reno . " Her grin matched the playful bounce of her twin tails . Miles took a deep breath and slowly lowered himself into the chair , his expression grim . He pressed his fingers to his temples . " Listen carefully . No one from the Quinn family is to help Sophie . Is that clear ? " Miles knew exactly what Reno's name meant . The business world was well aware of SIE Corporation's three most formidable assistants - Lana , Reno , and Fay Santos . He had dealt with Lana and Reno personally , though never Fay or their elusive boss , Miss Noir . Now Reno was taking charge at Hart Corporation . SIE must be behind this . Miles didn't know what went down at Hart Corporation , but one thing was clear . With SIE behind them , Hart Corporation wouldn't just bounce back . They would storm the market quicker than anyone expected . Meanwhile , companies that had ditched Hart Corporation were drowning in regret . Those begging to reconnect got flat - out rejections . As for Sophie , she had become public enemy number one overnight . With her mansion gone , the whole family was now crammed into a shabby apartment . Vivian stared at her phone in shock , then launched herself at Sienna like an excited puppy . " Sienna , is this true ? Did SIE really just partner with us ? You did this , didn't you ? " She had never doubted her sister was this capable . Sienna reached out and ruffled Vivian's hair with a chuckle , her eyes sparkling with quiet satisfaction . " Happy now ? " she asked , smiling at her sister's beaming face . " Of course ! " Vivian pouted , eyes sparkling . " Hart Corporation was Mom's legacy to you . That useless man ran it into the ground . Now it's rising again ! " They both knew that useless man was Aiden . Hart Corporation had always been Sienna's , never his . " It's our company , " Sienna said softly . They both held shares , but when their mother passed away ten years back , they were just kids . Everything went to Sienna by default . Vivian shook her head hard . " No way . It's yours . " She grabbed Sienna's hand . " I just want you . " Sienna smiled and gave her little sister's cheek a playful pinch . Vivian couldn't hold back her curiosity . " Sienna , be honest with me . Do you really know SIE's top boss ? What made them want to work with us ? " From the front seat , Lana bit back a laugh . ' If only you knew your sister is SIE's real boss , your jaw would hit the floor .' But Sienna kept up the act . Being SIE's boss meant not only power , but also hidden dangers . She would help Vivian grow step by step , only sharing the full truth when her sister was ready . " We're not that close . She owed me a favor , that's all ." " You're amazing ! " Vivian buzzed with excitement . " That's the CEO of SIE ! No one's ever met her in person . Her three famous assistants handle 1/2 Chapter 38 everything . And I've heard they're all stunning . " Lana couldn't help smiling at the compliment . " That's nothing special . Anyway , how's your work going , Vivian ? " Sienna smoothly changed the topic . " Don't even bring it up . " Vivian visibly sagged at the question , slumping against Sienna's shoulder like a Sienna frowned with concern . " What's wrong ? " She wondered if Anya Yeast had been too strict . As SIE's i highly capable at her job . lted flower . investment VP , Anya was known to be tough yet " She's a total demon ! " Vivian ranted , flailing her arms for emphasis . " She picks on me every single day . My report had just one tiny mistake . Just this small . " Vivian insisted , pinching her fingers together to show how minor it was . Lana hid a smirk . ' Finally , someone was speaking up about Anya's harsh ways !' Sienna chuckled and patted Vivian's head like she was soothing a grumpy kitten . " One tiny mistake , " Vivian whined , " and she lectured me for 30 minutes . Everything has to be perfect . It's exhausting . " " Do you really dislike her ? " Sienna asked gently , her voice warm with concern as she carefully tucked a stray hair behind Vivian's ear . Vivian hesitated , then shook her head . " No , she is harsh but incredible . All my coworkers call her a legend . I feel lucky to be trained by her . " Her eyes shone with determination . " One day I want to become just like her , a true business leader . " Lana's eyebrows lifted slightly , surprised that Vivian had such sharp insight into people's true characters . " You'll get there , " Sienna said warmly , giving her sister's shoulder an affectionate squeeze . Vivian kept staring at her phone . Then she gasped as the screen lit up with unbelievable news . " Sienna , pinch me . Is this real ? Did Junior Quinn Group really go bankrupt ? And we got it ? " " Don't bother with pinching , " Sienna said with a quiet smile , gently patting Vivian's back . " It's absolutely real . " Vivian's wide eyes locked onto her sister . " You did this , didn't you ? " No one else could have crushed the Quinns so thoroughly , and definitely no one would do it purely for her sake . At Sienna's confirming nod , Vivian's face softened . When she hesitantly asked if this was for her , another " yes " made her face light up . She hugged Sienna's arm tightly , pressing close with a happy smile . Linda had fainted after being locked up for a full day . The butler informed the sisters as soon as they got back , Aiden begged for mercy , and Sienna agreed but set clear rules . Linda would stay locked up until she wrote a thorough apology letter and promised never to do this again . Aiden winced , knowing Linda would never agree to do that . " Sienna , she's still your stepmom . Making her write an apology letter is going too far , don't you think ? " Sienna's chopsticks hit the table with a sharp crack . " Father ," her voice turned icy , " call her my ' stepmother ' one more time , and you can get out too . Selina was my only mother . "
