The moment those words dropped, Jarred's brow violently creased.
In the pitch-black depths of his eyes, pure hostility and freezing anger layered over one another.
He looked down at the trembling, dying woman on the bed.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the woman standing beside him, completely relaxed and utterly unbothered.
Sienna's expression was stunningly cold and detached, with that infuriating, almost imperceptible smirk still hanging on her lips.
Against the backdrop of the room's miserable, tragic atmosphere, her complete indifference was blindingly arrogant.
In an instant, a violent, chilling darkness overtook Jarred's eyes.
He looked up, shooting a lethal glare at the trembling maid cowering in the corner. His voice was as cold as frost.
"What exactly happened in this room? Tell me everything. Do not leave out a single word!"
Terrified by his glare, the maid violently flinched, nearly dropping the tray in her hands.
She stuttered, "I-I don't know the details... Mrs. Sterling shut the door.
"I was standing outside... I only heard Ms. Carlyle screaming inside. She was crying and screaming the entire time...
"It sounded so agonizing, absolutely heart-wrenching... B-but I was too scared to come upstairs and look..."
As she spoke, the maid cast a terrified, trembling glance at Sienna.
There were too many emotions buried in that look—raw fear, extreme caution, and deep reverence.
From the very second Sienna stepped foot onto the property, her dominant, suffocating aura had forced everyone to hold their breath without realizing it.
It felt as if the person standing before them wasn't just a woman, but an unsheathed blade—beautiful, highly dangerous, and ready to draw blood at any moment.
Jarred clearly understood what the maid's eyes were saying.
Sienna had come in mercilessly, and Celeste hadn't stood a chance.
Jarred frowned.
It was a microscopic shift, almost entirely unnoticeable.
But Celeste caught it instantly.
