The Wrong Woman

Shelly glared at Sienna and snapped, "Are you dating someone?"

Sienna nervously gripped the hem of her clothes.

"He's from Phoenicia and works as an anti-drug officer?" Shelly asked.

"Mom, I-"

Shelly exploded with frustration, slamming the calculator in her hand onto the ground with a loud crash. The floor was now scattered with shattered pieces of the calculator.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Sienna stood frozen in fear, and Jane hurried in from outside. She pulled Sienna back and said anxiously, "Mrs. Lawson, let's talk calmly."

"What did I say? Have you forgotten everything?" Shelly demanded.

Sienna lowered her head, breathing heavily. Her heart hurt, and tears welled in her eyes. She replied sadly, "I haven't."

"Then you have to end things with him right now," Shelly ordered.

She stood with her hands on her hips, gritting her teeth. "Now I understand why you've been behaving strangely lately, being out all day and sometimes not coming home until late at night. "How dare you, Sienna? You could've kept your relationship a secret, but why choose a cop? Especially one fighting drugs! Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

"Mrs. Lawson, I've met Sienna's boyfriend. He's tall, handsome, has a great personality, and comes from a wealthy family," Jane hurriedly explained. Shelly snapped at Jane, "Just because he's rich doesn't mean he gets to enjoy his money. I don't care. Sienna can't date a police officer."

Sienna silently wiped tears from her eyes and gazed up at Shelly. Each word she uttered carried weight, "Mom, are you saying no one should marry cops?" "Anyone can marry them if they want, just not you," Shelly replied irrationally. Her face darkened with anger, her eyes blazing fiercely.

Sienna's heart burned with anguish, making it hard for her to breathe. "Mom, he's the only one I want to marry."

"Then, you're not my daughter anymore. We're done here. Leave and never return. Don't even call me 'mom' again."

Sienna couldn't contain her emotions any longer. She sank to the ground, wrapping her arms around her knees, and wept. Her heart ached unbearably.

Even though Shelly was fixated on wealth and favored Felix over Sienna, she always treated Sienna well when she raised them. She put in a lot of effort to earn money ensuring Sienna had access to education and a joyful childhood.

Shelly loved both Felix and Sienna dearly. She wanted the best for Sienna so she tried to arrange wealthy suitors for Sienna and opposed Sienna's wish to marry a police officer.

Meanwhile, Sienna deeply loved Daniel but felt torn between him and her family. She longed for a solution where she could have both her family and Daniel.

Sienna was too overwhelmed with agony to respond. The mere idea of parting ways with Daniel shattered her. She couldn't bring herself to do it.

Jane gently wrapped her arm around Sienna's shoulders to help her up. "Mrs. Lawson, let me take Sienna out for a while. I'll have a chat with her." Shelly sat still on the bench, staring at the wall. Tears flowed silently down her cheeks.
