Chapter 1069: On Guard

“You know it, so be more smart!" Page snorted lightly.

"And what? Who's going to believe you?" Sienna was unafraid, devoidof any sense of fear, with a face that wore a cold, disdainful smile. "Thisis just your usual strategy. Do you think anyone would believe thesebaseless rumors? Not everyone is as gullible as you. Your talent andabilities are not that impressive; no one really respects you."

Sienna, indifferent to Page's reaction, picked up a damp towel, wipingher hands, looking at Page with icy detachment.

This angered Page beyond measure. She raised her hand, ready toslam it down on the table, but then she remembered they weren't at theArmstrong family home or any familiar location, but instead were at theSimpson's mansion.

Page didn't want to upset the Simpson family or let Talia, or any of theSimpson family's servants, witness her aggression. So, she softlylowered her hand onto the table, her voice laden with suppressed fury."Sienna, having friends like you is Camille's misfortune. You don'trealize you're harming her. We're family, and you're just an outsider. I'mtelling you, as Camille's mother, stay away from her."

Page sternly ordered Sienna to stop interacting with Camille. It mighthave been very hurtful for a daughter's friend if spoken by a normalmother. But coming from Page, Sienna was not moved.

Not only was she unaffected, but she even showed a smile and replied,"Sorry, Mrs. Armstrong, you have no authority over this. You can'tcontrol Camille's friendships. If you want to control who Camillebefriends, maybe you shouldn't have sent her away in the first place.Then you could control her, just like you control Grace."

Sienna knew Grace's character and had interactions with her. Shecouldn't help but speak up for Grace.

However, this casual remark sparked Page's attention.

Page disregarded whether Sienna was merely defending Grace or hadinformation about Grace's whereabouts. She believed Sienna knewwhere Grace was based on her knowledge of Grace's current location.Page abruptly stood from her chair, towering over Sienna, demanding,"Do you know where Grace is? Did she contact you? Did you instructher not to contact us? Tell me! Is it you?"

Page was highly agitated, making Sienna slightly startled.

Page, interpreting Sienna's silence as confirmation, moved closer andstared at her inquisition, saying, "Sienna, did you abduct Grace? Didyou tell her not to contact me? Tell me, where are you hiding her?"Page blocked Sienna's way, questioning her like an enraged lion. Thismomentarily left Sienna somewhat unresponsive, but she had nointention of arguing with Page. She simply said, “I don't know whatyou're talking about. If your daughter isn't contacting you, maybe youshould reflect on whether you have a reason for it."

Sienna didn't want to continue wasting her time on this person. Shehad realized that Page was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explodeat any moment. It was almost as if she were crazy.

Sienna rose to leave, but Page blocked her path, making it impossiblefor her to exit.

Sienna expressed her frustration, saying, "Could you please moveaside?"

Page, of course, refused to budge. Her tone became even moreagitated and louder as she interrogated, "Tell me, where is Grace?Where are you hiding Grace?"

Page's emotions were extremely intense, and her eyes bore intoSienna as if she wanted to devour her.

Page's loud voice immediately drew the attention of the maid at theSimpson's mansion. She, witnessing the commotion, hurried outside tocall Talia and Camille.

After Camille left the dining room and returned to the living room, Taliafollowed. Talia offered soothing words and tried to reassure Camille,urging her not to worry and reminding her that Timmy was safe at theSimpson's mansion, out of reach of anyone with ill intentions.

Camille understood and trusted Talia, so she nodded in agreement andsaid, "Mom, I was just being angry with her."

Talia replied, "I know, that's why I invited her here today. I wanted toshow her that even without her presence, you and Timmy are doing justfine, and you don't need her forced or reluctant attention.”

Camille felt touched and gazed at Talia with a grateful expression. Shewas about to say something when the maid rushed back and informedthem, "Ladies, there's an argument inside. Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs.Ward are having a heated dispute.”

Camille and Talia both paused, quickly grasping the situation.

Camille immediately got up from the couch, and Talia asked, "What'sgoing on?"

Talia and Camille walked toward the dining room while thehousekeeper followed, speaking in hushed tones, "Mrs. Armstrong isextremely agitated, and she keeps pressing Mrs. Ward about MissGrace Armstrong's whereabouts."

As they neared the dining room, Camille hurried her steps.

The living room was separated from the dining room by a long corridor.When Camille reached the entrance to the dining room, she couldalready hear Page's questioning. Page's voice was loud anddemanding, "Why won't you speak? Did you conspire with Camille tohide Grace? Tell me, where is Grace?"

Sienna remained composed, a cold expression on her face. Sheresponded, "It's your daughter, so you should ask yourself where sheis. I'm not your family's housekeeper tasked with keeping an eye onyour people.”

Sienna attempted to push past Page, but Page retaliated, saying,"What's this? Do you want to get physical with me? You've hidden mydaughter, and now you're laying hands on your elder?"

Page's insolent tone prompted Camille to chime in. She said, "Who'sthe one being physical now? You're clearly blocking someone's pathand then accuse them of getting physical with you?"

Camille reached out, firmly grasping Page's wrist, pulling her to theside. Page was caught off guard and took several steps back, notexpecting Camille's sudden intervention. It was only with a maid's helpthat Page avoided crashing into the wall behind her.

Page roughly shook off the maid's hand and fixed her piercing gaze onCamille. She accused, "So, you're attacking your mother over anoutsider now?"

Camille looked at Page with indifference. There was no warmth in hereyes, and her face remained expressionless. She responded with acold, deliberate tone, "What's an outsider? Do you think everyone otherthan the Armstrong family is considered an outsider? Yet, you nevertreat me as if I were one of your own. Based on your definition, theseso-called outsiders, who offered me help and support when I needed itthe most, are more like family to me than you, my so-called families."After Camille finished speaking, Page's complexion grew even darker.She took a couple of steps forward, her eyes filled with displeasure.She glared at Camille and said, "You have no idea what's going on, andyou trust Sienna so readily? She was the one who disrespected mefirst. She's been provoking me all along, knowing where Grace is butrefusing to tell me. Camille, Grace is your sister. Don't you want toknow where she is? Or are you implying that she's cut ties with thefamily, and we can't replace her because of your involvement?"
