Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 307

She had calculated every angle, exhausted every scheme, and painstakingly orchestrated a flawless frame-up just to destroy everything Sienna had.

Yet, the patriarch's preemptive move completely annihilated all her carefully laid plans.

She ground her back teeth together, forcefully burying all her bitter resentment deep down, not daring to let a single trace slip, outwardly maintaining her meek and harmless facade.

In the shadows, Jarred stood beside Maloney.

His striking, sharp features were clouded with dark hostility, the air pressure around him dropping to an absolute freezing point.

His dark eyes remained heavily locked onto Sienna in the distance, a chaotic storm of indescribable emotions churning in his chest.

Tearing his gaze away from Sienna, he looked at Maloney, a layer of profound scrutiny appearing in his eyes.

Mr. Palmer had just said that when their grandfather wrote this proxy, his older brother was present.

That meant his brother had known about this all along.

Even if he didn't know the exact details, he at least knew their grandfather had drafted such a document.

And he, as Sienna's husband, had been kept entirely in the dark.

Jarred's eyes instantly darkened with profound displeasure and heavy gloom.

Maloney sharply caught every emotional shift from his younger brother beside him, but he didn't turn his head.

He merely tilted his face slightly, lowering his voice to say, "I only knew Grandfather wrote an authorization letter. I didn't know the contents."

Jarred's gaze grew even darker, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his latent fury far from dissipating.

Maloney gave him a calm, indifferent glance, meeting his eyes with a subtle, yet piercing sharpness.

"Even if I had known the contents from the start, Jarred, you should take a good look at yourself.

Grandfather was an excellent judge of character and always acted with purpose. He trusted me and didn't trust you, and there's a reason for that.

What happened in the backyard tonight—your hesitation, your lack of faith in her—that is the very best answer."
