Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 545

First, he was allowing her to return to the Capital.

Second, it was on the condition that she kept her promise—cutting off all social ties and staying completely out of sight.

Hearing this, Celeste immediately reeled in her crying.

She stared through tear-blurred eyes at his sharp profile, biting her lip hard.

Even though she was fiercely opposed to it in her heart, she knew she couldn't afford to anger him any further right now.

At the end of the day, as long as she stayed in the Capital, she had people backing her up.

Celeste offered a trembling nod, acting the part of the perfectly obedient, fragile victim.

"I understand."

The Maybach pulled up to Sterling Manor.

The main gates slowly swung open, and the car glided into the courtyard.

Before the vehicle had even come to a full stop, Helena and his grandmother—having already received the news—were waiting at the entrance.

The car door opened, and Jarred was the first to step out.

His expression was frosty, the dark aura surrounding him still completely intact.

A freezing aura clung to his brow, projecting an absolute warning for everyone to keep their distance.

Helena stepped forward, about to speak.

But Jarred completely ignored the urgent, questioning looks of his mother and grandmother.

With a rigid posture, he strode right past the two women and walked into the manor without a single backward glance.

Helena stood frozen in place, staring at his unyielding back before turning to look at Celeste, who was being helped out of the car by Declan.

"Celeste, what's wrong with Jarred? Who upset him? Why does he look like he's ready to kill someone?"

Helped into her wheelchair, Celeste looked up once she was settled.

Her tear tracks had already been wiped clean.

Her previously reddened eyes had cleared up completely, leaving absolutely no trace of the hysterical sobbing from moments ago.
