Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 355

Jarred cast a glance at Declan.

Understanding the assignment, Declan immediately stepped out to make the call.

Within half an hour, the bodyguard arrived with the device.

Jarred took the phone, reviewing its contents piece by piece alongside his lawyer.

The digital trail was flawless, corroborating every word of Celeste's story.

The harsh edge in Jarred's eyes softened a fraction. He snapped his laptop shut and turned to the attorney. "Compile this evidence and submit it immediately."

The lawyer took the hard drive with a nod. "Understood."

Jarred looked out the window. Night had fully descended.

The Capital's sky was devoid of stars, glowing instead with sprawling grids of city lights, like a second galaxy fallen to earth.

Something felt off.

It had all gone far too smoothly.

From acquiring the evidence to prepping the submission, every single step had fallen into place effortlessly.

But knowing Sienna, she wouldn't just sit back and let Celeste walk free.

Unless...

The hostile aura surrounding him vanished, replaced by the eerie calm before a catastrophic storm.

He wasn't angry or anxious, and he wasn't in a hurry to expose the lie.

First thing the next morning, the lawyer submitted the compiled evidence to the police department.

Everything seemed to be tipping in Celeste's favor.

Until 10:00 a.m.

Declan practically burst through the door, his face completely bloodless. He had his phone pressed to his ear, his voice trembling.

"Boss... we have a problem."

Jarred looked up, his dark eyes locked onto Declan.

Declan handed over his phone. The screen displayed a live trending news feed.

The entire internet had erupted.
