Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 384

384 /580

The news reached Jarred quickly.

Declan ran over, looking grim, and relayed the orders from the higher-ups word for word.

"Visitation is restricted? Medical parole requires a re-evaluation?" Jarred's voice was devoid of emotion.

"Who did it?"

Declan swallowed hard. "It has to be... Madam. She has connections in the detention center.

And the application for re-evaluation was filed by her through the Justice Bureau."

Jarred stood there, the temperature around him plummeting to freezing.

His previously restrained emotions shattered completely, a torrential rage swelling in his pitch-black eyes.

She really wasn't going to take things lying down.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

Before Declan even finished speaking, a staff member from the detention center walked briskly toward them.

Bowing respectfully, he informed a stony-faced Jarred, "Captain Sterling, according to the judicial review process, the suspect's mental evaluation must be conducted by an officially appointed specialist.

Dr. Sloan is the appointed assessor for this case.

She will be going inside shortly to conduct a full psychiatric evaluation on Celeste.

The evaluation report will directly determine the final approval for medical parole."

As those words fell, a heavy silence blanketed the room.

Jarred stiffened, his dark eyes locked onto the slender, aloof figure standing ahead of him.

So, after all the maneuvering, Celeste's final shot at freedom and escape rested entirely in Sienna's hands.

The fiercely arrogant man, who never bowed to anyone, felt his throat bob nervously.

All his pride crumbled in that very second.

He knew Sienna too well.

She drew clear lines between right and wrong, always paid back grudges, never accepted the short end of the stick, and absolutely refused to let mistakes slide.

He knew that, given the bad blood between her and Celeste, there was zero chance of getting even a sliver of mercy from her.
