Chapter 467: Zachary and Pam Stared in Disbelief

Zachary and Pam stared in disbelief. They couldn't comprehend such audacity from an adopted daughter. She had transformed into someone entirely unrecognizable from five years ago... Pam clutched her chest, stumbling backward. "Oh heavens! Oh heavens! Why did Helena bring home this wretched girl? How could she be so utterly ungrateful?!"

"Grandpa! Grandma!" A honeyed voice cut through the tension.

Vanessa had heard the commotion outside. Seeing them berating Sienna, she rushed forward. She gently supported Pam, her voice dripping with feigned concern. "Please don't upset yourself, Grandma. Don't harm your health. Sienna didn't mean to provoke you... She's still immature... speaks without filtering her thoughts..."

"Immature? You share the same birthday! How are you so compassionate while she's so vile?" Pam's fury intensified at the reminder of Sienna's defiance.

Zachary snorted in contempt. "What was Senior Henry thinking? They clothed and fed this foundling for years. He even gifted her substantial family shares. She not only framed you but attempted to murder Caleb! A despicable creature! I must confront Senior Henry immediately!"

"Grandpa, no! Sienna is still family. She carries our name. We can't do this to her..." Vanessa hastily intervened, her voice trembling.

"Look at you! Too kind-hearted! That's why that wicked Sienna set you up! Don't stop me. I'll handle this. She doesn't deserve our surname!"

Pam grasped Vanessa's hand, her face etched with worry. "Instead of defending that ingrate, focus on yourself. Look at you! Only two months and you've withered away!"

"No, Grandma, really... I'm perfectly fine..." Vanessa's eyes welled up. Her voice cracked, thick with emotion. Her tear-filled gaze made her appear profoundly wronged and pitiable.

It shattered Pam's heart. "Oh, my precious granddaughter..." She soothingly stroked Vanessa's hand. "Don't pretend with me. I know you've suffered. But rest assured, we all believe you. Since Sienna harmed Caleb, it proves she wants you both dead to seize all Bennett shares. We won't allow it."

"Ah, yes! We bought you a magnificent gift on our vacation. Come with us later. I'll show you."

A dark glint flashed in Vanessa's eyes. Pam and Zachary lived independently. They owned over a dozen mansions. Countless priceless treasures filled their homes. Zachary was a renowned antique collector and appraiser. Their collection contained immensely valuable artifacts. Selling it all would net Vanessa a colossal fortune! Her departure was in two days. She never anticipated another massive windfall! Once she left Kingsport, the Bennett family would plunge into chaos. These two elders would be left destitute. She wanted Sienna to return to a shattered, bankrupt family!

The thought made her expression sweeter, more docile. "Thank you, Grandma."

"Oh, darling, no need for formalities! So polite! I'll check on Caleb and speak with your parents. Wait for me." Pam patted her hand and entered the hospital room.

After they left, Vanessa slipped into an empty hallway. She retrieved her phone. A text message flew to Rex:
