Zane interrupted her, wearing a shameless smirk. "Ms. Simmons, you need evidence to back up claims like that. You say I hit you, and sure, you've got a mark on your face, but who's to say I did it? For all we know, you tripped and fell."
Sienna trembled violently, her lips quivering so much she couldn't form a word.
That despicable snake!
She finally realized she had walked right into a massive trap.
Zane worked for Lucian.
No, that wasn't right—she had paid Zane herself, but Lucian must have flipped him halfway through.
He was terrified of Lucian's ruthless methods, so he followed his orders instead.
She thought she was the hunter, completely oblivious to the fact that she was the prey all along.
Sienna's face was as pale as a sheet.
Her mind went totally blank.
Looking past the murmuring crowd, her eyes landed on Sebastian.
Her heart leaped with relief.
It was him.
He was finally here.
But Sebastian's handsome face was entirely devoid of emotion. He looked at her with the calm indifference of a stranger.
No, it was colder than that.
Panic seized Sienna's chest. He definitely misunderstood.
Sebastian gave her one fleeting, icy glance, then turned and walked away.
"Sebastian—!" Sienna practically screamed. "Sebastian, listen to me! I was set up! Seraphina did this to me! I have nothing to do with this man. Nothing happened between us!"
No one answered her.
The crowd in the hallway was already whispering, looking at Sienna with utter disgust.
"The Simmons girl always acted so elegant and dignified. Who knew she was such a tramp behind closed doors?"
"That guy looks like he's pushing fifty. Does she just take anyone?"
"The Simmons family is never going to live this down."
She looked down at the marks on her body.
These marks couldn't conclusively prove she was forced.
There were no cameras in the room.
She had inhaled the scent, blurring her memory of exactly what had happened.
But she did know one thing for certain: she hadn't slept with him.
Thank God.
Because they were discovered in time, the absolute worst hadn't happened.
Otherwise, her reputation, her purity, and everything she had painstakingly built would be completely destroyed.
She knew Sebastian misunderstood and was likely furious, but that was okay. She would explain everything to him later.
Right now, there were more pressing issues.
"Mom..." Sienna's voice broke, her eyes bloodshot. "Help me... I don't want to get arrested..."
Zelda clenched her jaw and lowered her voice to the officers. "Officer, can we settle this privately? I can pay. I'll give you a lot of money. Name your price."
