Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 322

"I'll go explain things for Luna. I'll tell them I authorized her actions. She won't be in any trouble. Right now, you just need to come home and get some rest."

Sienna slowly turned her head, staring at the handsome face before her.

Her gaze locked onto his eyes—eyes that almost always seemed detached and unbothered.

The man possessed the kind of striking features that made it hard for anyone to hate him, but looking at him now, she felt nothing but pure revulsion.

"Jarred."

She curled her lips into a smile that never reached her eyes. "Before you showed up, I couldn't wrap my head around it."

Watching her tremble with exhaustion, Jarred's gaze grew visibly somber.

His mind was entirely focused on her pale, drained complexion, barely registering the words she was saying.

Sienna didn't care about his silence and simply carried on.

"Every single member of the Sterling family, including the extended relatives, is entirely under my watch. Nobody could have pulled any strings in the shadows.

All this time, your mother and grandmother have relentlessly favored Celeste Carlyle, bending over backward to pave the way for her.

Yet, they haven't even managed to secure a seven-star hotel reservation for her.

Celeste has always been fiercely calculating and petty, yet she stayed completely silent about this. I should have realized something was wrong."

Jarred kept his eyes fixed on her, his lips pressed into a tight line as he remained silent.

Sienna’s smile deepened with bitter irony. "I actually forgot that in the entire Sterling household, the only person outside of my jurisdiction—the only one operating independently—is our dedicated public servant right here.

Every asset you parked under Weston Wade’s name has already been frozen by me.

Your remaining salary and that one apartment are nowhere near enough to fund Celeste's lavish demands."

She paused, her voice quiet but laced with an icy edge. "The only logical explanation is that you have a hidden stash of wealth.
