Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 526

Outside the room, Helena and Celeste had held their breath the entire time, hearing every single word crystal clear.

An icy chill instantly washed over them, throwing them into complete panic.

Up until now, Celeste still clung to a sliver of luck.

She thought Sienna was just bluffing, intentionally applying pressure.

That she was just using some ambiguous clues to stir up trouble and seek revenge.

But after hearing Declan's report, every last trace of hope in her heart violently collapsed.

Her fingertips were freezing cold, her eyes filled with frantic, blinding dread.

Helena was entirely out of her depth, flustered and trembling.

She was naturally naive, completely lacking the cunning to handle a crisis.

When she helped Celeste fake her death, she had simply followed the instructions of a mastermind behind the scenes, operating in a total blur.

She never imagined a day would come when the truth would be dragged into the light.

Even less did she expect Sienna's obsession to run this deep, pushing them into a corner without giving them a single second to breathe.

Unable to hold back any longer, Helena shoved the door open and rushed into the room.

Behind her, Celeste's wheelchair remained parked near the doorway.

Her face was flushed completely red, fat tears cascading down her cheeks.

Helena looked at Jarred with burning anxiety, her tone carrying the forceful weight of a desperate plea.

"Jarred! You need to think of something right now! You absolutely cannot let the police take Celeste!

If she's taken in for questioning, everything will be exposed, and all of us will be ruined!"

Jarred didn't make a sound.

His dark, bottomless eyes cast a fleeting glance at Celeste by the door, before settling back into his usual emotionless mask.

Seeing his agonizingly slow reaction, Helena anxiously stepped forward and shoved his knee.

"Did you hear me?! If Celeste gets taken away, her life is over.
