Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 388

"I thought you'd actually bring a trump card." Sienna's expression was dismissive.

"And it's just using Director Barney Reed to pressure me? If I were scared of him, I wouldn't be Sienna Sloan."

Eleanor's face shifted abruptly. "Don't get cocky! I know plenty of people. If he won't work, there's always someone who can put you in your place!"

Sienna hadn't moved an inch the entire time. "Then I'll wait until you find them."

She slowly lifted her eyes, her dark pupils clear and biting cold, showing absolutely zero fear.

But that gaze was far too sharp. Just looking over casually like that.

It silently chopped Helena and Eleanor's imposing dominance right in half.

"Innocent and sweet?"

Sienna repeated softly, laughing coldly. "Two-faced, a gossip-monger, and deliberately framing public officials—that's what you call innocent and sweet?"

Helena screeched, "You made all that up! You set Celeste up!"

"If you want to call me a liar, you better bring evidence."

Sienna's eyes iced over, refusing to give them an inch.

"The admission process was perfectly legal. The diagnostic report is crystal clear, and the family consent forms are all signed.

If you have a problem with it, feel free to take legal action or hire a third-party medical team for an independent assessment.

But banging on my desk isn't going to solve a damn thing."

"Perfectly legal?" Helena's voice pitched up in rage. "Cut the act!

You think I don't know what you're up to? Aren't you just jealous because Celeste is close to Jarred?

Don't you just think she's an eyesore? Sienna, you're so young, how can your heart be this rotten!"

Eleanor chimed in, her voice low but every word meant to cut deep. "The Sterlings have treated you well.

I may not have been thrilled when Jarred married you, but I held my tongue.

And what do you do? You turn around and lock Celeste in a place like that.
