Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 510

Before Celeste could even formulate an answer, Sienna raised her right hand, pointing vaguely toward the screen.

"Look here," she said calmly. "There's even purple surgical dye smeared on the inner left wrist. The mark is faint, but it's unmistakable."

The crowd followed her instruction and indeed saw that the skin around the inner left wrist of the surgeon was tinted with a faint layer of purple.

It was the residual stain left behind after applying purple surgical dye during pre-op sterilization. Under the high-definition lens, it was impossible to hide.

Yet, when looking back at Celeste's hands, they were pale, slender, and immaculately clean. There was absolutely no trace of any mark.

"The entire surgery maintained strict sterile protocols. The operating surgeon's arm clearly bears the residue of purple surgical dye, along with an old scratch."

Sienna's cold, indifferent gaze swept over Celeste, who was frozen stiff beside her.

"Obviously, this surgery was completely transparent and seemingly flawless, but the person wielding the scalpel was never you!"

That single sentence was earth-shattering.

The previously noisy banquet hall instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shock and heavy suspicion were written across everyone's faces.

The sharp-nosed media reporters instantly went into a frenzy.

Cameras that had merely been rolling for standard coverage aggressively pivoted to focus on Celeste's deathly pale face, their shutters firing rapidly.

Several major entertainment and industry outlets even initiated live streams directly to the web.

This was a globally recognized, high-stakes international medical exchange summit.

Factor in Celeste's soaring popularity, her freshly awarded rising star trophy, her 'genius doctor' halo, and her highly publicized romantic ties to Jarred Sterling.

Such a sensational fraud scandal was a goldmine for every media outlet present. No one was going to miss out on breaking this headline.

The smile on Celeste's face completely shattered. The blood drained from her features drop by drop until a sickly pallor spread all the way to her ears.

She looked up at Sienna, her chest heaving violently.
