Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 414

Jarred remained silent.

Looking at this nineteen-year-old girl, the image of Mrs. Bridges flashed through his mind.

Mrs. Bridges had always treated him with genuine warmth, only to toil away half her life and meet such a tragic end.

Seeing the girl grieving her closest family member in such a pathetic state made it incredibly difficult for him to harden his heart.

He stayed quiet for a few seconds before letting out a heavy, solemn breath. “Forget it,” he said, his voice flat and detached.

The driver immediately caught his drift and swiftly turned the steering wheel.

Barrett had served Jarred for many years; he knew exactly what those two words meant.

Accelerating the engine, the car slowly rolled out of the hospital parking lot and merged into traffic.

Daisy's shoulders finally relaxed.

She lifted her head, stealing a cautious glance at the man beside her.

Jarred leaned back against his seat, the shifting streetlights painting his profile in alternating flashes of brilliance and shadow.

He sat there like a sheathed blade—his deadly edge concealed, yet unable to fully hide his raw, terrifying power.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly averted her gaze.

Jarred threw a sideways glance her way, his dark eyes completely devoid of warmth.

“Sienna is not the one who murdered your mother.”

His tone was as level as ever, yet every word demanded absolute compliance.

“Unless you have concrete evidence, you are never to cause an impulsive scene like that again.”

Daisy's fingers intertwined nervously once more.

“I will give you an explanation for what happened to your mother.”

Jarred continued without looking at her, his eyes fixed on the neon lights blurring past the window.

“Before then, if you provoke Sienna again, I'll ship you back to school, and you'll never set foot here again.”

Panic seized Daisy's heart. She bit her lip as fresh tears welled up in her eyes.

“Jarred, I...” she stammered through a sob, looking at him pitifully.
