Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 488

Inside Thea's office.

The three women sat casually on the sofa.

Having just listened to Sienna's breakdown of the situation, the other two gradually grew more serious.

Luna frowned, her tone grave. "Sienna, this doesn't feel right.

Jarred's style has always been one shot, one kill. He never wastes his time on pointless moves.

His retaliation against those peripheral agencies was way too soft. It's completely unlike him."

"Exactly," Thea nodded in agreement. "All our backup plans were designed for his corporate suppression, networking blacklists, and career sabotage—and we dodged all of them perfectly.

He watched us counter his moves step by step, and instead of escalating, he just stopped completely."

"He gave up on targeting the outsiders," Sienna stated, hitting the nail on the head.

"Because he realized I was fully prepared. Going after other people wouldn't hurt me at all. It was just a waste of time."

After seven years of marriage, she understood his ruthlessness.

And he understood her calculated, step-by-step nature.

"Then what is his next move?" Thea looked up, her eyes laced with worry. "He won't just let this go. He definitely has a backup plan."

Luna remained silent for a few seconds before deducing grimly, "Knowing his personality, if he can't break through the perimeter, he'll strike directly at your weak spot."

A weak spot.

Sienna lowered her eyes, her fingertips gently and rhythmically tapping against the desk as her mind raced through the possibilities.

She had no attachments in this world. Her only weak spot... was Owen.

Sienna's expression shifted.

The two women beside her seemed to notice the change in her demeanor.

They had both already guessed it, but neither dared to say it out loud.

The air in the conference room instantly froze.

The unwavering composure in Sienna's eyes finally cracked, and her pale fingers curled inward.

No.

She had already paved every possible road for Owen.
