Not A Small-Town Girl
Chapter 88-2

was forced by my sister back then. I really am a victim. This has always been a pain in my heart."

"Tell us then," Vivian said, "How did your sister force you?" She was speechless, thinking, ’Does she really think the Darling family is a bunch of fools?’

Sienna said, "My mom married into the Dixon family, and Ruby has always looked down on us, mocking me openly and secretly, even framing me repeatedly. Each time, I was terrified.

"It wasn’t until I met Joseph that I found him the ray of light in my dark life, but I could only secretly have a crush on him, knowing that I wasn’t worthy of him.

"At that time, Ruby called me and asked me to go over. I initially refused, but she threatened me, saying that if I didn’t go, she would chase me and my mom out of the house. I really had no choice, Joseph."

Sienna spoke with tears all over her face.

Vivian shot Sienna a glare coldly, thinking, ’If our family hadn’t known the truth in advance, we would really have been fooled by her words. Just look at how deeply emotional and sincere she is as she speaks.

"Why did your sister frame Joseph then?" Vivian said coldly. "Why did she ask you to go over? As far as I know, she doesn’t have any grudges against our family, right?"

Sienna looked at Joseph with a face full of grievance and said, "I-I really don’t know why Ruby framed Joseph. After that, I felt like I had a lot to make up for Joseph. After all, it was Ruby’s fault.

"As a member of the Dixon family, I’m willing to atone for her sins. I’m willing to spend the rest of my life loving Joseph."

"What?" Joseph said. "Just because she’s not here, you think you can hurl mud at her as you please, huh?"

When Joseph heard Sienna’s quibbling words, his entire body emitted a chill, causing the atmosphere of the room to become tense. Robert and the others could not help but feel a great sense of fear.

Sienna stepped forward and grabbed Joseph’s sleeve, her face full of grievance as she said, "I didn’t hurl mud at her. Joseph, you’ve really wronged me."

Joseph pulled his clothes out of Sienna’s hands without any pity and said, "Sienna, if you had admitted it decisively, I would have thought there was still hope for you. But with your current expression..."

Sienna looked at the undisguised mockery and disgust in Joseph’s eyes, which pierced her heart deeply. She said with difficulty, "I know it’s my fault for making you misunderstand me. Please give me a chance, okay? I really love you."

Emily gently spoke up to defend Sienna, saying, "Joseph, you’ve really misunderstood Sienna. I only found out about this after the incident. It was indeed Ruby who threatened Sienna. Sienna was afraid that you would misunderstand her, so she chose to remain silent." Vivian said, "Emily, do you think that the Darling family doesn’t know about the Dixon family’s matters? You’re still twisting the truth in front of us. Do you think you married into the Dixon family in an honorable way? Or have you forgotten how you married into the family?

"If Ruby could bully you two, why would a young lady from a wealthy family like her go work at a hotel?

"As far as I know, you’ve been mistreating the daughter of the first wife since you married into the Dixon family. This has nothing to do with us. I just can’t stand the way you distort the truth and hurl mud at others.

"I don’t like Sienna’s pretentious look to begin with, but since she is Joseph’s girlfriend, I tolerated it. However, she secretly has lots of schemes. My family will never accept such a scheming woman.

"In the future, don’t use the Darling family’s name to negotiate any business deals. If we find out about it, there’s no need for the Dixon family to exist. And as for Sienna, stay away from us from now on." Vivian usually looked gentle, but if she was really angry, she would go all out.
