Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 524

Jarred cast a freezing glare at Celeste in the wheelchair, his brows pulling into a tight frown.

"Lock down all her tracks, block every outsider trying to investigate, and hide her well. Don't let a single media outlet get a picture."

Declan knew exactly who he meant and instantly responded, "Understood!"

Jarred didn't say another word. He turned and strode away, his tall, imposing figure exuding a chilling aura, pausing briefly as he passed Declan.

"Also, find out exactly what evidence was submitted, every single detail. I want it before we land."

"Yes, Boss."

Declan immediately followed, quickly exiting the cabin.

Inside the enclosed space, only Helena and Celeste remained.

Watching Jarred's retreating back, the heart that had been lodged in Celeste's throat finally dropped back to her chest.

She was fine.

She was safe for now.

Jarred stepping in to suppress the situation meant she wouldn't lose this hard-won new life.

The overwhelming rumors outside weren't entirely baseless after all.

Even if he was utterly disappointed in her, he would still protect her in the end.

Before she could fully calm her racing heart, Helena rushed forward to gently comfort her.

"Celeste, don't be afraid. Everything is going to be fine. With me and Grandma here, even if the sky falls, we'll hold it up for you.

We will absolutely never let anyone bully you, and we definitely won't let anything happen to you!"

As she spoke, she quickly pulled out her phone. "I'm going to call Grandma right now. The two of us will fight tooth and nail to make sure you stay perfectly safe."

Celeste's small face scrunched up slightly, her eyes turning red as she offered a choked, tearful nod.

But deep down, she didn't feel a single ounce of panic or fear.

She knew what kind of man Jarred was better than anyone.

He was honorable, clear about his debts, and valued loyalty above all else.

He owed her a life, and that emotional shackle was her eternal get-out-of-jail-free card.
