Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 391

A portrait of Mrs. Bridges hung front and center, the elderly woman in the photo smiling with a kind, gentle expression.

Dressed in a simple, solid black outfit, Sienna shed her usual clinical elegance, bearing no traces of overly dramatic mourning attire.

She sat completely alone, quietly occupying the very edge of the back row.

She neither purposely hid herself to avoid suspicion nor took the initiative to step forward and comfort the family.

She just lowered her eyes quietly, like any ordinary guest at a funeral.

Guarding her isolated corner, she calmly bid farewell to the elderly woman she had once known.

In the front row, Mrs. Bridges' daughter, Daisy Bridges, was collapsed by the casket.

She sobbed until her heart broke, crying herself hoarse.

Because Mrs. Bridges' husband was bedridden, the young woman was the only family member present.

Her miserable state drew frequent sighs of pity and sympathy from the surrounding relatives and friends.

But through her agonizing tears, her peripheral vision kept darting back, shooting venomous glares at Sienna in the back row.

Daisy had noticed Sienna the moment she stepped into the room.

Daisy's eyes burned with intense hatred.

The malice hidden beneath her facade of grief was barely concealed at all.

Meeting her gaze, Sienna's cool eyes behind her sunglasses grew even sharper.

Sensing Daisy's hostility, the bodyguard standing behind her stepped forward and asked, "Ms. Sloan, should I arrange for two more men to come inside?"

Sienna waved her hand, signaling him to stand down.

Standing tall and rigid near the family section at the front of the crowd was Jarred Sterling.

His solemn black suit accentuated his strikingly sharp features and icy demeanor.

As the captain of the Special Ops Unit, he was well accustomed to keeping his emotions in check.

Today, facing the death of the nanny who had raised him for years, a heavy veil of sorrow covered his eyes, yet he remained perfectly composed and restrained.

But from beginning to end, his piercing, frosty gaze remained firmly locked onto Sienna in the back row.

Hadn't he ordered the news to be blocked? How did she still manage to show up?
