Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 528

Half an hour flew by.

The crowd at the airport exit swelled as the police took their positions, their eyes locked intently on the VIP corridor.

Before long, figures emerged from the end of the walkway.

Declan Ward led the way, pushing the luggage cart with a respectful posture.

Following closely behind was Jarred Sterling, dressed in a sharp, tailored black suit.

Tall and commanding, he radiated an icy, unapproachable aura.

His strikingly handsome face was cast in a cold shadow, and his chilling gaze swept over the surroundings with an overwhelming sense of dominance.

Everyone else in the terminal faded into the background.

Helena Sterling followed right behind him, her expression tight with anxiety.

The three of them walked out of the corridor steadily, exuding a calm composure without a single trace of panic.

But... Celeste Carlyle was nowhere to be seen.

The pupils of the three women waiting at the exit shrank in disbelief.

Luna was stunned. "Where is she? Where did Celeste go? She was on the plane the whole time, she couldn't have just vanished!"

Thea's expression instantly turned grave, her brows knitting together as a bad premonition flashed through her eyes.

Sienna's gaze turned sharp as she rapidly scanned the entire exit, the blind spots of the corridor, and the surrounding security...

With predatory precision, she quickly arrived at a conclusion.

Celeste had never landed with them at all.

On a sealed private flight with no layovers, no landings, and no transfer records, a person had simply disappeared into thin air.

There was only one possibility.

Jarred had planned this all along, secretly transferring and hiding Celeste in a blind spot no one knew about.

It was a flawless, seamless deception.

While they were still reeling in shock, Captain Rhodes had already stepped forward.
