Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 536

"I knew it! I knew something was wrong that day at the cemetery. Jarred never broke a sweat; he must have tampered with it!"

Luna's face was flushed with righteous fury on Sienna's behalf.

"Celeste faked her death less than a month ago. How could properly sealed ashes suddenly suffer severe contamination?

It's a blatant abuse of power! Aside from Jarred, no one else has the capability or the motive to pull this off!"

Thea frowned, shaking her head. "Knowing Jarred's style, he wouldn't do something so obviously illegal.

He excels at backing people into corners within the rules, not leaving massive liabilities outside of them.

Besides, we kept a close eye on the entire forensic process. There were cameras at every stage.

Tampering with evidence right under everyone's noses is too risky."

Thea pushed her glasses up, shifting her gaze to Sienna. "I'm more inclined to believe the contamination is real.

Someone prepared for this in advance, but that person wasn't Jarred."

Luna opened her mouth to argue but couldn't find the words.

She turned to Sienna, whose utter lack of panic only made Luna's own anxiety spike higher.

She grabbed Sienna's wrist, her anger masking a deep layer of desperation.

"Sienna, what do we do now? The DNA route is a dead end; we can't force her back.

She gets to vanish completely and get away with it! All our groundwork was for nothing!"

Sienna placed her coffee cup back onto the table.

There wasn't a single shred of defeat in her clear eyes—only the absolute confidence of someone holding a winning hand.

Thea studied her calm, certain features, a knowing smile touching her eyes.

"Luna is about to lose her mind, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us your plan."
