Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 383

Jarred leaned down and carefully placed her back on the bed.

Exiting the room, Jarred immediately summoned Declan and the lawyers, ordering them to prepare the paperwork for medical parole.

The lawyer cautiously advised him, "Mr. Sterling, filing for medical parole is incredibly risky.

Ms. Carlyle has already been released on bail once, and the conclusion then was that she was innocent.

But with the latest twist in the case, she can't escape the charges, and you were the one who personally signed as her guarantor.

According to legal regulations, with a tainted bail record on file, a second application is nearly impossible to get approved. The department will most likely reject it outright."

Rules were rigid, but human influence was flexible.

Jarred pressed his lips together, his dark eyes swirling with a reckless stubbornness.

"Submit the paperwork as usual. Whether it gets approved is up to the rules, but whether it gets done is up to me. I will bear the consequences."

Just as he said that, the sharp click of high heels echoed from the end of the hallway.

Sienna and Thea walked over side by side.

They had seen the entire scene perfectly and heard every single word.

Eyes met from across the room; over a distance of several feet, their gazes clashed.

A flash of surprise crossed Jarred's eyes.

But the surprise vanished in an instant, replaced by a look Sienna knew all too well.

The kind of look he only ever wore during an operation when sizing up an opponent.

He glanced at her, then turned his head back, telling Declan, "Expedite the paperwork."

Sienna's eyes drifted lightly over his features, so calm there wasn't a ripple of emotion, as if she were looking at a complete stranger.

Before Jarred could take a single step, she had already looked away.

Moving briskly, she brushed right past him.

Thea paused for a second before hurrying after her, leaving Jarred standing alone in the corridor.
