Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 559

Her tearful plea was earnest and deeply emotional.

Helena, already emotionally shattered, felt her suspicions wavering immediately.

She stared blankly at Celeste, who was crying so hard her body trembled.

Recalling how attentive and accommodating Celeste had been all these years.

And looking at her mobility issues and frail posture, whatever sliver of doubt Helena had was quickly washed away by sympathy.

Meanwhile, the gazes of the observing guests began to subtly shift.

The collective, guarded suspicion from moments ago faded, replaced by waves of sympathy.

"Right, she has mobility issues and her daily movements are restricted. How could she secretly swap out a whole batch of jewelry?"

"She looks so weak and timid, and she spends all her time serving Mrs. Sterling without complaint."

"She really doesn't seem like the type to pull off a malicious theft and swap."

Public opinion was once again twisted in Celeste's favor.

Catching the moment the tide turned, the massive weight on Celeste's chest dropped.

But outwardly, she didn't relax in the slightest; instead, she cried even more pitifully.

Helena quickly reached out, patting her back to comfort her.

Turning to the doubting guests around them, she frowned. "Everyone, stop making wild guesses. I know Celeste. It absolutely could not be her."

Celeste lowered her eyes and wept, though a quick flash of relief and malice passed through them.

Thank god, she was fast, steady, and knew how to act.

The cameras cleared the exhibition staff, but they couldn't clear the long blank periods when she held the jewelry privately.

But without direct evidence, no one could convict her.

As long as she denied it to the death and played the weak victim, no one could do a thing to her.

"Where is the PR department? Get out here! Don't think this is over!"

Helena suddenly turned around, glaring viciously at Macy and her team.
