The near-paralysis she had suffered remained a deep, lingering trauma for Sienna Darwin.
If Lillian Cole and Leon Byron didn't end up behind bars, she would never be able to move on.
"Congratulations, Sienna, but do you think Leon's girlfriend will actually testify?" Claire asked.
If she stepped up to take some of the heat, Leon's sentence might be significantly reduced.
Sienna only found it amusing when Claire brought up the D-list celebrity.
"His girlfriend is way too busy social climbing."
Whenever Leon's girlfriend was mentioned, Sienna felt nothing but pure disgust.
However, the girl wasn't exactly living the dream right now, having just been dumped by her sugar daddy.
It gave Sienna a profound sense of vindication.
"How did she get dumped?" Claire suddenly remembered that Leon's girlfriend had been tangled up in a messy affair with Larkin, Regina's husband.
It was only because Regina had such a tolerant temper; anyone else would have destroyed that little starlet by now.
But Regina was pragmatic and easygoing, which was probably a good thing.
The couple had an open marriage, doing their own things while staying united on one front-their children, pouring all their efforts into securing the family's future.
It was the best dynamic they could find, and it wasn't anyone else's place to judge.
Claire had heard Victoria mention that they had tried to advise Regina to keep her husband on a tighter leash in the past.
But Regina's philosophy was that obsessing over a man's fidelity would only turn them into a bitter, resentful couple.
It was far better to control his finances.
As long as she held the purse strings, why should she care whose bed he crawled into?
Did anyone genuinely find that overweight, greasy-faced man attractive anyway?
He was no spring chicken anymore, and it wasn't just his physique failing him-his stamina in the bedroom was practically nonexistent.
What was there to be jealous of?
Regina's carefree attitude was something most women could never replicate.
Especially her iron grip on the family's wealth.
That kind of lifestyle certainly wasn't for everyone.
"Because her sugar daddy found a shiny new toy," Sienna said, finding the answer glaringly obvious.
She didn't bother hiding her schadenfreude.
It was truly something to celebrate.
Claire recalled the last time she saw Larkin cozying up to Jocelyn Thorne, the sister of Owen's ex-girlfriend.
What was her name again? Jocelyn Thorne, right?
With someone as ambitious as Jocelyn Thorne in the picture, it made perfect sense that Larkin would toss Jocelyn Hunter aside.
Out with the old, in with the new.
Men who operated purely on lust instead of love were never going to stay loyal to just one mistress.
It wasn't as if they were chasing true romance!
"Owen is hosting a success party tonight, and he invited me," Sienna said, entirely done talking about the people who had nearly ruined her Career.
She was focused on moving forward.
Her mind was now on a completely different matter.
"Do
you
think I should go?"
Sienna initially hadn't planned to attend; her recovery was still ongoing, and she had zero desire to leave the house.
But since Claire was a partner in this venture, skipping it felt wrong.
She genuinely wanted to show up and support Claire.
Her gratitude toward the younger girl was boundless.
Karla had told her that when the accident happened, it was entirely thanks to Claire's connections at the hospital that they managed to

Even the emergency surgeon who saved her life was an acquaintance of Claire's.
And then there was Claire's personal

therapy her techniques were,
undeniably superior to those of seasoned medical experts,
Claire wasn't the only medical professional assigned to her recovery.
There was also a female physician from the rehab clinic responsible for her daily massage therapy.
That physician was the one who handled her routine exercises.
Before meeting Claire, the physician had assumed the brilliant specialist overseeing
Sienna's core treatment was an elderly, distinguished doctor.
It wasn't until she finally met Claire that she realized the mastermind was just a
young girl.
After that, things spiraled out of control in the best way possible.
Whenever Claire was scheduled to visit, the physician would show up early just to observe and learn.
Even the brief pointers Claire casually threw her way were enough to benefit the physician immensely.
