Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 284

Sienna walked out of the manor, her hands still trembling slightly.

Refusing to waste a single second, she hailed a cab straight to the Metropolitan Forensic Center.

She contacted a trusted friend who worked in the labs and handed over the coagulated blood sample for immediate testing.

Once she had the intake receipt safely in her bag, Sienna dialed Luna Lennox's number, asking her to meet at their usual coffee shop.

By the time Luna arrived, Sienna had already ordered her favorite coffee, her face etched with heavy tension.

Luna immediately picked up on the dark mood.

"You practically dragged me here on fire. What's going on?" Luna asked, studying her cautiously.

She had never seen Sienna look this deeply unsettled.

Sienna frowned hard. "...Grandpa Sterling fell. It's really bad this time. And I think Celeste is behind it."

Luna's eyebrows shot up in shock.

Lowering her voice, Sienna laid out every single bizarre detail and piece of evidence she had uncovered at the manor.

Luna's grip on her coffee cup tightened.

"I'm convinced she deliberately staged a secondary crime scene," Sienna explained. "He didn't fall down those stairs. The real incident happened somewhere else, was scrubbed clean, and then they moved him to make it look like a terrible accident.

The problem is, I can't figure out where it actually happened."

Luna listened, sheer disbelief washing over her face.

Through her line of work, she had seen plenty of dark, twisted cases.

But hearing that there was foul play behind the Sterling patriarch's accident—and that Celeste was the mastermind—was staggering.

The Sterlings practically owned the Capital.
