Five Years Gone, She Returned a Billionaire

Chapter 396: Mckenzie's Inaction and Owen's Failed Plan Were Insignificant Now

McKenzie's inaction and Owen's failed plan were insignificant now. She would project photos of Sienna with Lucas on a massive screen for the world to see their relationship! While everyone currently pitied Sienna, how would the public react upon discovering her involvement with Lucas all along? What would they say? Moreover, McKenzie and the Bennetts would undoubtedly take action once this news dominated the headlines! Vanessa envisioned it clearly: Sienna and Lucas's intimate photos displayed for all guests during her wedding ceremony.

The public would abandon Sienna entirely by then, and the Bennetts would never forgive her! Sienna's happiness would be permanently destroyed when that moment arrived! Time flew by swiftly until the wedding day arrived. Both the Bennett and Prescott families bustled with unprecedented activity. This ceremony far surpassed the grandeur of Derek's previous wedding with Sienna. They had invited nearly every influential figure, and all had accepted. Derek also enlisted numerous celebrities and supermodels, striving to make the event unforgettable. So what if online critics condemned their union?

In their elite circles, wealth and influence always trumped public opinion. The Prescotts and Bennetts ranked among the top ten wealthiest families. Who would dare offend both powerful dynasties? Their alliance only strengthened their positions. Although everyone privately scorned the heartless man and his deceitful bride, attendance remained mandatory. The wedding atmosphere radiated luxury and sophistication.

Inside the bridal suite...

Vanessa had completed her makeup. Eight bridesmaids surrounded her, all her female cousins. Some appeared charming, others exuded sex appeal, while several maintained elegance. Their dresses and hairstyles remained deliberately subdued and unremarkable. This ensured none could overshadow Vanessa's radiance. She stood out brilliantly like the fairest of them all. This arrangement was orchestrated by the Bennett family. They intended to demonstrate their unwavering support for Vanessa despite her past mistakes. They wanted the world to witness their familial loyalty. Vanessa's lips curved into a smirk as she eyed the solitary dress hanging aside.

Sienna would play nothing but a minor role in her wedding! The smoke-gray dress looked utterly drab. Anyone wearing it would appear frumpy and unattractive. Furthermore, all eight bridesmaids possessed their own distinct allure. How could Sienna possibly outshine them collectively? The thought of Sienna being ignored filled Vanessa with immense satisfaction. Most importantly, Sienna's secret relationship with Lucas would soon explode into public scrutiny. She would face the internet's furious wrath! Speaking of Sienna... She arrived at the hotel precisely then.

She hesitated momentarily, recalling this was where she had been pushed down the staircase years ago. This was where her reputation had been destroyed. Yet she proceeded inside. Since Vanessa had planned such dramatic entertainment, how could she miss it? Besides, exchanging gifts was only polite. She had prepared an exceptionally generous return present for Vanessa! She opened the car door, preparing to exit when Lucas asked, "Are you certain you don't want me accompanying you?"

"Positive. I can handle this alone. Just focus on caring for Noah." Sienna waved at Noah before walking away.

She understood Lucas's protective instincts. She needed to resolve matters with Vanessa quickly to assist his investigation into the five-year-old incident. Additionally, Lucas's men had found no traces of the Nightfall Syndicate. Numerous urgent matters demanded her attention. Sienna's sharp gaze fixed upon the magnificent Grand Meridian Hotel. Ironically, Tiffany and the Nightfall Syndicate had orchestrated the tragedy here five years earlier. Now, five years later, none of them would escape consequences. Vanessa had destroyed her happiness and continued plotting against her even during her own wedding!

It was only fitting that Vanessa prepared to have her reputation utterly shredded. Vanessa should ready herself to experience every suffering she had inflicted.
