My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 219

Meanwhile, Sebastian Sullivan stared at the text from Sienna, a deep scowl etching into his forehead.

Melody Monroe. He was well aware of who she was.

The Monroe family might not have the absolute supremacy of the Langfords, but they were unquestionably second in command within the capital's hierarchy.

The problem was, why on earth would Melody Monroe go out of her way to help him?

Sienna claimed it was because Melody detested Seraphina's behavior.

It was a plausible excuse, sure, but it still felt flimsy.

A woman of Melody's caliber didn't need to lower herself into this kind of petty mudslinging.

Unable to shake his doubts, Sebastian dialed Sienna's number.

She picked up on the first ring. "Sebastian."

His tone was guarded. "Yeah."

"Are you absolutely certain Melody is serious about this?"

Sienna's voice radiated confidence. "Of course I'm certain!"

"She told me to my face! The Monroes are pushing into the new energy sector, and their goals align perfectly with yours. It's a win-win for everyone."

Sebastian paused. "Did she say anything else?"

There was a brief hesitation on the line before Sienna continued. "Sebastian, you know the Monroes and Langfords go way back. Melody and Lucian grew up together. Isn't it totally normal that she'd be disgusted by Seraphina making a public spectacle of herself at the expo?"

Sebastian didn't argue with that logic.

Sienna pressed her advantage. "Sebastian, the Monroe family is offering us a lifeline. Don't overthink this! This is our best shot at turning everything around."

Sebastian finally interrupted her.

"Sienna."

"Yes?" she asked eagerly.

"Set up the meeting. I'll hear what she has to say."

He could hear the sharp exhale of relief on the other end. "I'll text her right now!"

After hanging up, Sebastian still felt a nagging sense of unease, though he couldn't pinpoint the source.

Whatever.

He'd just have to play it by ear.

"Do you need me to intervene?"

Seraphina thought it over for a second before typing her reply. "No. Let's wait and see what they're actually planning."

"Understood. I'll keep an eye on them."

Seraphina locked her phone and leaned back into her chair.

Little Bean's voice echoed curiously in her mind. "Mom, is this Melody person super powerful?"

Seraphina's tone was calm and detached. "She's your father's childhood friend and the heiress to the Monroe family. In this city's social circles, her word carries a lot of weight."

Little Bean sounded confused. "Then why is she helping Sienna?"

"Doesn't she know how awful Sienna is?"

The corners of Seraphina's mouth curled up in a knowing smile. "She knows exactly what Sienna is. That's precisely why she's using her."

Little Bean was even more lost. "What do you mean?"

"Sienna's reputation is in the gutter, making her incredibly easy to manipulate. Plus, she hates my guts."

Seraphina's voice was steady and analytical. "I've noticed Melody's hostility toward me for a while now. She wants to take me down, but she doesn't want to get her own hands dirty. Sienna is the perfect weapon for her to aim and fire."
