The Wrong Woman

Brimming with tears, Sienna got to her feet and directed a sharp reprimand at Felix. "I want you to stand on your own two feet, not constantly lean on others or try to exploit them! "Can't you be a little more responsible?"

Felix was deeply wounded by her words, his expression clouded with the threat of tears.

Shelly couldn't bear it any longer. She felt sympathy for Felix. Paying no mind to Daniel's presence, she launched into a tirade against Sienna, "How could you speak to Felix like that? "Is it wrong for him to want a good job? Plus, Daniel isn't just anybody. He's Felix's future brother-in-law. Why shouldn't he receive a little help from Daniel?"

Daniel was stunned by Shelly's words.

Sienna was immediately enraged and embarrassed. "Mom, what on earth are you saying? Our relationship isn't what you're imagining."

Unable to contain herself longer, Sienna said tearfully, "I've lost my appetite."

With that, she stormed away from the table, retreated to her room, and slammed the door shut.

Shelly finally grasped the gravity of the situation and glanced awkwardly at Daniel.

Daniel's emotions were anything but composed at that moment.
