Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 521

Why is it that when I just try to be kind to someone else, everyone twists my intentions? Why is even Jarred being so incredibly cruel to me...?"

Celeste stammered brokenly, letting out a few pathetic sniffles.

She had cried so much that her eyes were swollen like peaches and her nose was cherry red.

Curled up in her oversized wheelchair, she looked incredibly fragile and pitiful.

Helena's heart broke, and she wrapped her arms tightly around the girl's shoulders.

"Jarred! Shut your mouth right now! Celeste has the purest, kindest heart. You're the one being incredibly cold-blooded and ruthless here.

She sacrificed her own safety to save your life. You could never repay that debt in a hundred lifetimes.

And now she's lost her entire identity, completely destroyed by that vicious bitch Sienna!

Your grandmother and I have done everything in our power to help her step out of the shadows and give her a new life.

We just wanted her to be able to stand in the light and be happy again. Is that such a crime?!

If you don't feel sorry for her, fine, but you have absolutely no right to back her into a corner and twist the knife into her chest!"

Right on cue, Celeste slowly lifted her head.

Her eyes were swimming with fresh tears, her voice incredibly soft and delicate. "Helena... please don't fight with Jarred over me...

He's right. I chose this path myself... I'll take responsibility for it. I'll call Grandma right now and ask her to have someone pack my bags."

As she spoke, she placed her hands on the armrests of her wheelchair, trying to reach for the purse hanging off the side.

But after struggling for a few seconds, her body betrayed her, and she collapsed heavily back into the seat.

Celeste lowered her head, staring at her paralyzed legs as massive tears splattered onto her thighs.

Seeing her trembling shoulders, Helena felt as though her own heart was being crushed in a vice.

She crouched down and gently held Celeste's knees. "Celeste, you aren't going anywhere. I still have a say in this family."

Helena stood up and glared fiercely at Jarred. "Jarred, if you want to send her away, you better show me the proof first.

You claim her identity is fake. Do you have any evidence? If you have the guts to investigate her and you actually find proof, you can send her away and I won't say another word!"
