Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 393

Or did she enroll back in school in her twilight years to refine her writing skills?"

No one laughed, because this was certainly no joke.

Jarred's eyelids lifted slightly, his gaze lingering on Sienna's beautiful face for half a second.

Her aura was steady, showing absolutely no signs of panic.

Daisy's face had turned an awful shade of ugly.

Her lips quivered, and her eyes were rimmed red.

But for a moment, she couldn't stammer out a single word of rebuttal.

Those words really didn't seem like something her mom would write. She had felt they were awkward herself, but she had never thought about it from this angle.

But the moment she remembered that the woman standing before her was her mother's killer, all her doubts evaporated instantly.

"Stop making up excuses! You're just nitpicking to clear your own name!"

Completely losing control of her emotions, Daisy's eyes blazed red as her voice shook, desperately trying to salvage the situation.

"I wasn't finished."

Sienna cut her off coldly, her gaze instantly darkening as she swept her eyes over the crowd of guests who were mindlessly following the drama.

"The last point, and the most fatal flaw, is that for the days leading up to her death, Mrs. Bridges was staying right here in the Capital.

In fact, up until the very last minute of her life, she was practically within Jarred's sight the entire time."

As she spoke, she purposefully looked at Jarred. "And he likely never saw your mother mail out any letters."

Jarred remained stoic, his silence acting as tacit agreement with Sienna's statement.

Daisy's expression shifted, a clear flash of helpless panic crossing her face.

"You were previously studying abroad. Mail systems are highly efficient, and standard shipping takes three days at most to arrive."

Sienna paused for a half-second before casually tossing out the most unsolvable discrepancy.

She didn't throw out labels or assign guilt, yet she forced everyone present to come to their own conclusions.
