Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 485

Their voices were brimming with excitement.

"Sienna, the post is trending even higher, and the Sterlings have already stepped in."

"And the best part is, Jarred's suspension and investigation have been officially announced! He might actually get fired this time."

Compared to their thrill, Sienna's voice was remarkably calm. "I know."

Luna immediately picked up on her tone. "Did that scumbag come looking for you already?"

"Yeah," Sienna nodded. "We've already agreed. Tomorrow at 9 AM, we're going to the Civil Registry Office to finalize it."

Thea was the first to recover. "Proving he's single is the only way those rumors will slowly die down.

The punishment probably won't be too severe. He won't get fired, but he'll definitely be suspended for an observation period."

Sienna replied flatly, "None of that has anything to do with me. All I want is the divorce certificate."

The two women on the other end immediately cheered. "Exactly! Our girl is going to thrive on her own. The Sterling family can rot for all we care!"

Sienna felt a sudden warmth in her eyes.

For so many long years, she had been trapped in a toxic, exhausting relationship, suffering alone with no one to have her back.

But now, she was breaking free from the wrong person, surrounded by loyal, fiercely protective best friends.

The road ahead was wide open. She never had to compromise her self-worth again.

This was Sienna's third trip to the Civil Registry Office, but her state of mind was entirely different.

The first two times were mixed with reluctance, inner turmoil, and a complicated sense of attachment.

But this time, her mind was more peaceful than ever, as if she were simply welcoming an ordinary Monday.

She slept soundly through the night, undisturbed by any dreams.

Sienna had just arrived at the entrance of the Civil Registry Office when Jarred's car pulled up.

The car came to a stop, the back door was pushed open, and Jarred stepped out.

He wasn't wearing a tie today. His black coat hung open, revealing a dark gray turtleneck sweater underneath.

He looked less intimidating than usual, carrying a more distant, detached vibe.
