Half-Hearted: Mr. Sinclair, Stop the Act!-Chapter 121: Signing the Name "Sienna Monroe
Sienna Monroe’s expression was slightly startled.
Sure enough, even after discovering the truth about Radiance Beauty Spa, Caleb Sinclair would still instinctively choose to conceal and shield June Ewing.
All of this was within her expectations.
After all, she was his biological mother. It’s impossible for him to act justly against his own kin.
Now that he’s willing to hand over this share transfer contract for her to sign, that’s enough. The rest doesn’t concern her.
To be honest, after scheming for so long, now that she’s finally gotten what she wanted, there’s an indescribable excitement and thrill in her heart.
It felt as if the blood throughout her body was boiling, and every nerve ending was screaming.
She didn’t show any of this on her face.
The hand resting on the quilt trembled slightly, hesitating to take the contract, and the chaos and confusion overflowed from her eyes.
Caleb Sinclair looked at her with urgency, grasping her hand and coaxing softly, "Honey, don’t be afraid. The share transfer is just a temporary measure. Trust me,
once this matter is resolved, I will definitely transfer the shares back to your name. This was from Mom to you; could I possibly compete with you for it?"
Sienna opened her mouth, her voice soft like a petal falling onto the lake of his heart.
"I don’t doubt you. It’s just... is this matter very serious now?"
Caleb gently stroked her fair cheek with his fingertip, his tone also softened, "Not serious, it’s just that the police are still investigating. I’m worried someone might intentionally use your name to lead the police to investigate Radiance Beauty Spa.
So the best solution now is for you to temporarily disassociate from Radiance Beauty Spa."
This reasoning seemed rather dignified.
Not very defendable, but it managed to grasp onto the depths of her desperate state.
Sienna wouldn’t doubt it.
At least, now she wouldn’t doubt it.
She pursed her lips, still a hint of unease in her eyes, "What about the art gallery? Will it be affected? I’m just afraid..."
Caleb held her hand tightly, his gaze and tone firm, "Of course not, the art gallery is a sanctuary of art. It won’t be easy for anyone to exploit it.
Plus, I’m keeping a close watch. I imagine, at most by tomorrow or the day after, the police’s investigation into the gallery will reach a conclusion. Don’t worry."
Upon hearing this, the anxiety and tension deep in Sienna’s eyes gradually faded, trusting his words fully, she took a gentle breath, "That’s good."
After speaking, she took the contract, flipped through a couple of pages, and asked, "Will signing this contract make it effective?"
"Yes. Mom’s personal stamp and Radiance Beauty Spa’s official stamp are on the back, without any complex procedures. You just need to sign your name."
Sienna paused.
Stamps?
Logically speaking, June Ewing was trying to think of ways to transfer shares to her just two days ago.
How could she agree to transfer the shares to Caleb Sinclair?
But when she flipped to the last page, her gaze fell onto the spot marked for the party A, where indeed there was Radiance Beauty Spa’s official stamp and June Ewing’s personal stamp.
And Caleb Sinclair’s signature.
Sienna’s gaze sank slightly.
A guess suddenly formed in her mind.
Could this be Caleb Sinclair secretly printing out the share transfer contract, and stealthily stamping it with June Ewing’s personal stamp?
Lost in thought, Caleb feared she might overthink, so he hurriedly added.
Testing the waters, he said, "Mom said, if you don’t believe it, once you’re out of the hospital, you can go check the doors again and transfer them to your name..."
"No need."
Sienna snapped back to reality, shaking her head to interrupt him, her initially lifeless eyes softening.
"Mom’s been so good to me, always considering me. How could I not trust her? I’ll sign the contract. Where’s the pen?"
Caleb watched the warmth and lack of hesitation in her eyes, feeling a mix of emotions.
The scene of Sienna crying in her mother’s arms a few days ago involuntarily replayed in his mind.
Mom was wrong, truly terribly wrong.
Sienna trusted her so much, genuinely treating her as her own mother.
Their initially peaceful and warm mother-in-law relationship now seemed to have an invisible mountain between them, also lodged in his heart.
The guilt and remorse at this moment seemed impossible to remedy.
This made him more certain he hadn’t made a mistake and didn’t regret it.
He retrieved a black fountain pen from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, and slowly handed it to her.
"Sign it, just put your name on the party B’s spot."
Sienna caught the glimpse of deep-seated obscurity in his eyes, her heart unperturbed as she lowered her head, swiftly clearing away the coldness and ridicule from her gaze.
Taking the pen, she placed the contract on the dining table.
Stroke by stroke, she signed the name "Sienna Monroe" in party B’s section of the contract.
She didn’t even use connected strokes, opting for neat block letters instead.
With the final stroke, the heart that had been tightly bound and tense finally found the chance to be freed.
Her heart thumped powerfully and robustly.
From this moment, she finally emerged from the swamp.
However... until June Ewing is down, she still cannot relax.
She intends to hold June Ewing down in this mire, ensuring she can never rise again for a lifetime!
