    Chapter 698


    Sayler was seriously ticked off Liam couldn’t care less about the Barlow family, yet he was generous


    and friendly with his ex–wife


    She counted herself lucky they were divorced. If not, Liam’s infatuation with that woman might run even


    more profound, shaking her position in the Reed family


    firight and early. Skyler showed up at the old house.


    She’d beenying low this month due to the drama at the birthday party, which had left Sienna pretty


    peeved at her. Apart from visiting the injured guests, she mainly came to the house to apologize

    But Sienna didn’t want to see her Every time Skyler came, she either got a closed door in her face, or


    Sienna wouldn’t say a word if they did meet


    Skyler had managed to marry into the Reed family not only because she was pregnant but also due to


    her tenacity.


    When she first got pregnant, Sienna disapproved of the mamage But Skyler had patience and


    persistence. She’de to the old house daily to serve tea and do chores


    Old Mr. Reed had a soft spot. After a while, he began to sympathize with a pregnant woman who, apart


    from her tarnished reputation, had a hard life. Plus, this stalemate wasn’t doing the Reed family’s


    reputation any good. After a few persuasions, Sienna finally agreed to the marriage.


    Fast forward thirty years, Skyler was still the same, offering to help around the house whenever she


    visited


    But back then, she was desperate to marry into the Reed family, so she didn’t mind getting her hands


    dirty or tired. Now after enjoying decades of privileged life with the Reeds, she naturally found such


    chores repugnant.


    She didn’t get why Sienna would work her fingers to the bone, tending to a massive vegetable garden


    and fertilizing and weeding it every week instead of living a life of ease Skyler imed she was there to


    help with the fertilizing, but as soon as she arrived at the vegetable garden, she had the house staff put


    on two masks and three pairs of gloves for her


    The garden was teeming with mosquitoes in the summer Skyler, swatting them away and frowning


    barely managed to spray a few nts with the fertilizer.


    Sienna, watching from afar, didn’t bother with Skyler. She went to another part of the garden to prune


    the tomatoes


    Seeing Sienna. Skyler hastily followed her with the spray bottle. “Mom, let the servants do this kind of


    work.”


    Dodging her hand, Sienna said calmly. “It’s my garden. I should tend to it myself. That way, I can spot


    any nt problem and deal with it right away”


    Even though Sienna was talking about nts. Skyler felt her words had some hidden meaning


    She looked embarrassed and said lowly. “Mom, I visited the injured guests from the birthday party


    again yesterday. They’re mostly recovered now.”


    Sienna didn’t respond


    Skyler continued, “Mom, some friends have introduced me to eligible girls. Liam’s been divorced for a


    while now. Don’t you think it’s time he had a girlfriend? The Reed family is small if he had a child


    sooner, you could rest easy”


    “Fine” Sienna replied without looking up, “As long as Liam agrees, I have no objection”


    Skyler


    She couldn’t convince Liam, so she turned to Sienna, hoping she could put pressure on him.


    But Sienna just tossed the ball back into her court.


    Skyler wanted Liam to marry a rich girl she could control, someone who could support Liam in his


    career and help her persuade Liam to protect the
