Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 313

313 /570

Dr. Clayton and Dominic Palmer sat across from her.

One of her subordinates was quietly reporting the progress of their investigation. "Ms. Sloan, we've tracked down a few leads, but it's incredibly difficult.

There were over fifty garbage trucks and more than a hundred dump trucks. They scattered the loads to different waste sites. We can't lock down the target vehicles on such short notice."

Sienna's expression remained perfectly cool, not a single ripple in her eyes. "If you can't lock them down, then don't. Send more men and search every single truck. Do not let a single one slip by.

Even if they've pulverized everything into sawdust, I want you to dig the evidence out of that pile."

"Yes, ma'am."

Sienna looked at the man, her tone hardening. "The more desperate she is to cover her tracks at Sweetbriar Woods, the more it proves she's hiding a damning secret there.

Pick up the pace and act with absolute caution. We cannot let her slip through the cracks again."

The subordinate nodded respectfully.

Sienna pointed to Mr. Palmer, adding a strict instruction.

"Make sure Mr. Palmer's team is present for the entire evidence collection process.

Keep every legal receipt and document. We cannot leave them a single loophole to exploit.

Once you secure concrete proof, hand it over to the police immediately."

"Understood."

Sienna reined in her intense gaze. "What about Celeste?"

The subordinate gave an honest report. "Ms. Carlyle went to the Boss's apartment, only to find the place completely trashed. It's basically a ruin. She flat-out refused to stay there.

Now she's pestering Helena and Grandma, crying about wanting to book a long-term suite at a seven-star hotel."

A faint smile ghosted across Sienna's lips.

Noting her expression, the subordinate added, "We already gave Grandma and Helena a subtle warning. If they secretly funnel cash to Ms. Carlyle, they won't be allowed back into the Manor tonight.
