Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 534

534 /580

Luna's face instantly went livid as she cursed out loud, "That's so low! The Sterlings are unbelievable! He pulled off a flawless switch right under our noses!"

Thea looked grim, slowly shaking her head. "Without the forensic results, we lack evidence.

Celeste can outright refuse to cooperate, and there's no way to pin anything on her in the short term."

A heavy sense of powerlessness washed over the group.

But Sienna's cold eyes held no trace of defeat, only an even sharper, chilling clarity.

She quietly watched the tall man standing a short distance away, taking in his elegant, aloof smile, while a freezing dread rippled through her chest.

At this moment, she finally saw the truth.

Jarred's calculations, his traps, his foresight—they were far deeper and more terrifying than she had ever imagined.

On a sealed flight with no layovers, he had somehow managed to secretly transfer and hide Celeste without leaving a trace.

He had expertly parried the police, exploiting legal loopholes to perfectly shield her.

From start to finish, he had orchestrated every single move, commanding the entire board.

The morning breeze settled through the quiet cemetery as the chaos finally faded.

Sienna watched the officers drive away. After confirming there were no flaws in the collection process and nothing out of the ordinary left at the scene...

She turned to Luna and Thea. "Let's go."

But the moment she moved, a tall figure blocked her path.

Declan stepped up briskly, his attitude polite and respectful. "Ms. Sloan, the Boss invites you to join him for lunch. We hope you'll do us the honor."

Declan paused, glancing at Luna and Thea beside her, and offered a slight smile.

"The Boss says you are welcome to bring your two friends."

Sienna lifted her gaze, looking past Declan to the luxury car parked nearby.
