Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 519

At the top of the stairs, a young nurse from Sienna's team watched the chaotic scene below. Glancing at Sienna's entirely unfazed profile, she couldn't help but mutter in disbelief.

"Mr. Sterling is so foolish. Why is he still protecting her at a time like this? Who knows what kind of garbage the tabloids back home will spin from this."

Sienna simply raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the man's silent back below, her eyes clear and unbothered.

She offered a faint, graceful smile, her tone light and casual. "If he wants to protect her, let him. It makes no difference to me."

Other people's biases and choices could never dictate her life, nor could they ever diminish her brilliance.

At that moment, an assistant hurried over and spoke in a low voice. "Ms. Sloan, the car is ready. We can head to the airport whenever you're ready."

"Mhm." Sienna gave a slight nod, turning to walk toward the vehicle.

The assistant hesitated for a split second before asking, "Are you not waiting for Mr. Sterling? He was just looking up here..."

Before the sentence could even finish, Sienna let out a soft laugh. "Didn't you see how busy he was playing bodyguard? I can catch my flight perfectly fine without him."

Just as the words left her lips, her phone rang in her purse.

It was Thea Stanton.

Sienna answered, and Thea's cheerful voice practically bounced through the speaker.

"We saw the news. Are Helena and Celeste already on their way back?"

"Why would they stay here and continue to humiliate themselves?" Sienna smirked, a look of total, calculated certainty in her eyes.

"This isn't over yet. Contact Silas Draken."

Thea let out a light laugh. "Don't worry. Everything is locked and loaded. The real show is about to begin."

Sienna smiled softly, highly satisfied as she hung up the phone.

Down below, Jarred had finally managed to shove the two battered women into the car, thoroughly blocking out the mob's harassment.

Almost immediately, he lifted his gaze to the top of the grand staircase, desperately searching for the silhouette that had completely consumed his thoughts.

But in the cool night breeze, the steps were entirely empty.
