Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Are You Feeling Jealous?

Keith Sterling saw the photo and tsked. "Isn’t that Miles Everett?"

He was Sienna Everett’s second older brother in the Everett Family. To think he knew Ophelia Warren.

Sienna glanced at it, then looked away, her expression blank.

"Sierra, are you okay?" Keith Sterling asked cautiously, studying her expression.

Sienna let out a soft laugh. "I’m not that fragile. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine."

’If I got upset every time I saw one of the Everetts, I’d just be torturing myself for no reason.’

"That’s good!" Keith Sterling patted his chest, about to say more when he suddenly saw his brother striding hastily into the living room, even running all the way to Sienna without a care for his image.

Keith Sterling froze for a moment. "Bro, why are you in such a hurry? What’s wrong?"

Before Sienna could even react, Julian Forrester was right in front of her.

Seeing the phone in her hand, Julian Forrester’s brows furrowed. A rare hint of panic flickered in his eyes as he said in a low voice, "It’s fake. That’s not me."

It took Sienna a moment to realize he was explaining himself to her.

Explaining that the scandal had nothing to do with him, that the man in the photo wasn’t him.

"I know." Sienna’s glistening eyes blinked, and her tone was soft. "I know it’s not you."

At her words, Julian Forrester’s expression relaxed slightly. Thank goodness she hadn’t misunderstood.

Off to the side, Keith Sterling suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Sienna looked at him, confused.

"Sierra," Keith Sterling said with a knowing grin, "aside from that time you were taken by Simon Sinclair, I’ve never seen my brother in such a panic. He was so scared you’d misunderstand. Tsk, tsk, everything my brother panics about has to do with you."

Sienna: "..."

She did seem to recall seeing Julian Forrester actually run.

Truly a rare sight.

Sienna’s heart skipped a beat. She pressed her rosy lips together. "You didn’t have to be in such a hurry. I knew it wasn’t you."

"Yeah, Bro!" Keith Sterling immediately recounted the earlier conversation with gusto. "Sierra could tell it wasn’t you right away. She even said you have a better body!"

’That’s right. His good body is the most important part. I had to mention it!’

Sienna: "..."

’That’s enough!’

She shot a threatening glare at Keith Sterling.

Keith Sterling scratched his head, looking completely baffled. "I wasn’t wrong, was I? You literally just said my brother has a better body!"

At this point, Sienna felt the urge to beat him up.

She turned her head and met Julian Forrester’s lazy, teasing gaze.

Sienna immediately clenched her fists and glared at Keith Sterling again.

Seeing that Sierra was about to blow a fuse, Keith Sterling immediately made a run for it. "Well, what do you know, it’s getting late! I’ve gotta head home! Don’t see me out, don’t see me out!"

His voice trailed off as he vanished in a matter of seconds.

Now, only Sienna and Julian Forrester were left in the living room.

Sienna recalled his panicked expression and cleared her throat. "You really didn’t need to rush. Besides, Ophelia Warren just posted a clarification on X."

Julian Forrester raised a hand to loosen his tie, his voice low and magnetic. "I didn’t want you to misunderstand."

He had been at the office when he saw the rumor. He immediately dropped everything he was working on and rushed back, all because he didn’t want Sienna to misunderstand and think he was involved with another woman.

"When did you see it?" he asked.

"About half an hour ago," Sienna replied casually, walking over to sit on the sofa. "Keith Sterling said he saw a rumor about you online, so I took a look."

The man walked over to her, bent down slightly, and placed one arm on the sofa beside her, his dark eyes fixed on her without blinking.

"Seeing a rumor about me... were you... even a little bit jealous?"
