Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 430

Thea Stanton continued, "An hour before Celeste Carlyle's death, Silas Mercer took a phone call and left the room. It was a long time before he returned, and when he did, he was acting completely off."

Sienna Sloan frowned. "Someone was directing him?"

"Highly likely," Thea replied immediately. "I still managed to track down the address of Silas's hometown. His wife, child, and parents are all in Cloudport. This just happened, so we need to strike while the iron is hot. He couldn't have gone far."

Sienna closed her laptop and shut her eyes.

She wanted to head to Cloudport to investigate, but she had another lead on her hands.

The mastermind behind the money-laundering account Maloney Sterling had given her was located in Zurich.

She had originally planned to fly to Zurich first thing tomorrow morning, but with Celeste's incident suddenly interrupting, she had to choose one.

Ultimately, she decided to split her forces.

Her operative, Quincy, would take a team to Zurich, while she and Alister would stay in the country to track down Silas.

"Quincy," Sienna called him in overnight. "Once you get to Zurich, don't alert the enemy. There is definitely someone behind that account. It would be best if you can find them, but if you can't, it doesn't matter. Safety is the top priority."

"Yes, Ms. Sloan."

Quincy nodded and immediately got to work.

Sienna didn't waste any time either. At the crack of dawn, she led her people toward Cloudport.

Just as Thea had said, it was early, and they needed to strike while the iron was hot.

But to her surprise, when she opened the door, Jarred Sterling was standing right there.

He wore a dark gray trench coat and held a set of car keys, looking as if he was heading out on a long trip.

Seeing Sienna's backpack, he raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going?"

"None of your business."

"Cloudport?"

Sienna paused for a moment. She looked up and met his gaze with a cold stare. "Are you wiretapping me?"

"Dr. Mercer was the exclusive doctor assigned to Celeste by the detention center. He signed the death certificate, and he was the one treating Celeste's legs."
