Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 531

Sienna's gaze was crystal clear, meeting the furious glares of Eleanor and Helena without giving them an inch to breathe.

"The two of you keep preaching about how innocent and kind Celeste was, swearing to defend her peace to the death.

But if she's truly innocent and honorable, why fear a proper inspection?

You're blocking this so desperately, fighting tooth and nail. Is it out of love, or is it because you're terrified the truth will come out, exposing the filth you've been hiding from the world?"

For a moment, the faces of both women cycled through shades of green and pale white.

They stood there with their mouths open, unable to utter a single word in defense, choking on their own panic in complete humiliation.

Sienna didn't wait for them to respond.

She turned to the police. "Captain Rhodes, investigating a case is the duty of law enforcement, and exhuming the ashes is a procedural necessity.

You notified the family out of courtesy, not to ask for their permission.

Before the law, no one has the right to obstruct justice."

Captain Rhodes nodded, seizing the opening perfectly. "Ladies, Dr. Sloan is absolutely right.

The police conduct investigations without being swayed by personal emotions.

Obstructing evidence collection and interfering with official duties is a violation of the law. Please step aside and don't make this worse."

The stakes were now glaringly obvious.

Helena and Eleanor were clearly terrified. They exchanged a panicked look.

But they knew deep down they absolutely could not move.

Once the contents of that urn were exposed, no one would escape the fallout.

Steeling her resolve, Helena whipped around and threw her arms wide, shielding the tombstone with her body.

Eleanor also refused to budge, looking ready to fight to the bitter end.

Sienna watched their desperate final struggle, a flash of mockery passing through her eyes.

She already knew the answer.
