Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 14

"Bitch! You dare try to run!"

The man bounded down the last few steps, grabbed the woman by her hair, and slammed her viciously against the wall.

A sickening thud echoed, followed by the woman's cry of agony as blood trickled down her temple.

The guests retreated in terror.

Mr. Zeller turned pale and shouted desperately, "Quick! Pull him off her!"

A group of guards surged forward to yank the woman away, but not a single one dared to touch the deranged man.

Even those who got too close ended up taking accidental hits from his flailing arms.

Sienna's gaze swept across the scene.

The tense expressions of the Zellers, the complicated looks from the guests, and the guards' sheer apprehension toward the man...

She understood.

This man was the Zeller family's youngest son, the one they had always kept hidden from the public eye.

The rumors said he was studying abroad, so how did he end up here like this?

Judging by his manic, out-of-control state, this wasn't just a simple outburst; it was a severe psychiatric episode.

The situation was spiraling further out of control.

Mr. Zeller finally barked, "Take Maxwell upstairs now! Everyone, I'm deeply sorry, but tonight's banquet is over!"

The guests looked as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly dispersed.

Jarred took Sienna's hand and pulled her toward the exit. "Let's go."

Just then, a familiar figure carrying a medical kit strode in under the guidance of the butler. It was Celeste.

Sienna paused, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Celeste's gaze flickered over Jarred's face before landing on Sienna. She spoke with blatant disdain. "I'm the Zeller family's private physician for their youngest son. As for you, unauthorized personnel should leave early. Don't cause trouble here."

Sienna found her words laughable.

Could an internal medicine doctor like Celeste really treat Mr. Zeller's son?
