Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 449

He marched onto the stage, reaching out to grab the emotionally shattered, wildly accusing Daisy in a desperate attempt to stabilize the spiraling situation.

He knew Sienna's character far too well.

Even though she was cold, aloof, and stubbornly unyielding, there was absolutely no way she was capable of something as vicious as murder.

Seeing her trapped in this hopeless nightmare filled him with intense anxiety and an overwhelming ache in his chest.

But bound by the chaos, he had to take control of the crowd first.

Yet, the very second Jarred raised his hand...

Sitting in the front row, Celeste—who appeared to be panicking and trying to stand up to stop Daisy—perfectly faked a clumsy stumble.

Clatter—

A phone slipped effortlessly out of the bag resting on her lap, crashing onto the polished marble floor.

The screen lit up instantly. A deeply exhausted, agonizingly weak middle-aged man's voice echoed out. He sounded like a man pushed to the very edge of sanity after being locked in a cage for an eternity.

With crystal clarity, the audio blasted through the phone's speakers, echoing through the dead-silent banquet hall.

"...I don't know why she locked me in here... I'm so scared. Somebody, please save me...

My wife has already been killed by her... My Daisy... Where is my Daisy..."

Every word wept blood; every sentence was laced with pure terror.

Sienna recognized that voice instantly.

It was Daisy's paralyzed father, Albert Bridges!

The entire venue fell into a graveyard silence.

The blood drained from everyone's faces, replaced by horror and deep gravity.

The way they looked at Sienna instantly shifted from shock to absolute certainty, dripping with fear and disgust.

Killing a mother? Imprisoning a father? This was no longer a simple dispute; these were monstrous felonies!

Hearing the voice, Daisy froze as if struck by lightning, her tears breaking like a dam.
