Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 337

"Mrs. Sterling is standing right here. Who the hell are you calling Madam?" Declan's voice was like a blade. "Can't even recognize the real boss of the house? Are you out of your mind?"

The maid was knocked dizzy, clutching her face as she froze in place.

She instinctively looked toward Jarred, her eyes wide with desperation and sheer panic.

Jarred's gaze fell coldly upon her. There was zero warmth in his eyes, only an invisible, piercing lethality. "When did I ever call her my wife?"

The maid completely froze, a violent chill running through her veins.

Since the day she started working here, everyone in the villa had treated Celeste as the lady of the house.

The very first day she met Celeste, she respectfully called her Madam. The woman hadn't corrected her; in fact, she had smiled and accepted it.

She genuinely thought...

Only now did it brutally dawn on her how astronomically wrong she had been.

The woman standing on the stairs was the real master of this house!

Sienna remained leaning against the banister, her posture entirely relaxed.

She watched the entire scene unfold with a faint, indifferent smile, as if she were simply watching a play that had absolutely nothing to do with her.

It wasn't until the maid's terrified gaze shifted to her that she finally reacted.

She tilted her head slightly, her tone smoothly detached. "Why did you stop? Weren't you about to tell your boss how his sweetheart's legs are doing?"

Jarred's eyes snapped up, his dark, complicated gaze locking onto Sienna's face.

Seeing her freezing, unapproachable demeanor, his brow furrowed deeply.

The maid was shaking violently, her lips trembling so much her words came out in broken pieces. "I... I don't know what happened.

"When I went in... I saw Ms. Carlyle collapsed on the floor, saying she was in agony.

"I asked her where it hurt, but she couldn't speak... Her legs wouldn't stop shaking... It looked absolutely terrifying."
