Semua Bab The Wrong Woman: Bab 401 - Bab 410

At that moment, Mila's phone buzzed. With a heavy heart, she retrieved her phone and glanced at the screen.It was a money transfer notification from Sienna. Watching Sienna diligently repay her debts month after month, Mila couldn't shake off her unease.Despite leading a challenging and hard life, Sienna remained steadfast and diligent. Mila held a deep admiration for her resilience.Were it not for her identity as Suzanne, Mila would never have crossed paths with a friend like Sienna, who resided at the fringes of society.Sienna possessed an average education, held an ordinary job, lacked familial support, and had no influential connections to rely on. She depended solely on her own perseverance and hard work.Despite grappling with financial difficulties, her family remained determined to save her father from cancer.They were willing to liquidate all their assets and incur significant debt, owing hundreds of thousands of dollars, in pursuit of his treatment and recovery.

Mila was furious. The fact that Nathan seemed unaware of having such a superficial friend like Fenna by his side only intensified her rage further.What kind of sibling bond did he believe they shared? Was he blind to Fenna's obvious admiration for him?Shortly after Mila ended the call, Nathan immediately called her.Nonetheless, Mila declined the call, but her phone rang for the second time.Mila quickly sent a message explaining, "My phone ran out of battery."She then powered off her device.At that moment, the cab arrived at the riverside.A wide boulevard was adorned with an array of merchandise, drawing in numerous tourists leisurely strolling along the riverbank.Mila navigated through the lively crowd, scanning the stalls until she finally spotted Sienna at the far end.Sienna's booth showcased an assortment of affordable items, from basic handicrafts to trinkets, hair accessories, and jewelry."Wanda!" Sienna's face lit up with a smile as she noticed Mila, enthusias

Mila smiled, feeling happy that she could help Sienna. She had long set aside her worries about Fenna and Nathan.As Sienna was about to enjoy her pie, she asked, "Wanda, I read in the news that one of your paintings is valued at millions of dollars. Is that true?"Mila's gentle smile lingered as she placed her fork down, delicately dabbing her mouth with a napkin. "Yes, some of them are, but not all. The prices range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars for the more common pieces."Sienna was puzzled. "Why are they priced so high?"Mila let out a sigh. "Art certainly requires talent, but it's often driven by hype and the influence of fame."When I first began painting online for charity, my father secretly purchased one of my pieces for an astounding two million dollars."However, I donated the entire amount to schools in rural areas. That's when I suddenly gained overnight fame, and things just took off from there."Sienna chimed in, "That's why your pain

Fenna raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mila, taking on a self-righteous stance in defense of Nathan."What sort of couple are they? Would she even acknowledge it? What does she take Nate for? Clinging tightly to him on one hand, yet refusing to define their relationship in any way, not even as mere friends—doesn't that seem to be the situation?"Cole quickly stepped forward, pulling Fenna back and whispering, "Ms. Hudson, please don't cause trouble."Fenna brushed off Cole's hand, visibly irritated. "I pity you, Nate. Why should she be allowed to play with your feelings?"Mila remained silent as she looked at Nathan, her eyes brimming with tears as her heart weighed heavily with pain.Did Nathan truly agree with everything Fenna said? Was she really that intolerable?Feeling disheartened, Mila took Sienna's hand and turned away, her voice faltering, "Sienna, let's go.""Alright," Sienna said and followed her. Just as they were about to take a step forward, Nathan walked ahead,

Was he protecting Fenna?The thought ran through her head. Mila even suspected Nathan was merely harboring a regret of unrequited love for Mila from their youth. He didn't love her that much.He wouldn't even hurt Fenna for her.Mila took a deep breath, then forcefully shook off Nathan's hand. She trembled with anger as she felt bitter, her heart clenching uncomfortably. "Don't touch me!" she shouted. Her tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She took two steps back to distance herself from Nathan.She wiped away her tears desperately, but she felt wretchedly pitiful, like a helpless creature. No one understood, and there was no one to love her.Sienna couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Let's go," she said, grabbing Mila's hand and leading her away. Mila wiped away her tears while crying. She couldn't help but look back at him.Cole followed behind her.Nathan and Fenna didn't move from their spot. Her heart was broken and completely hopeless. She felt that any deci
