Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 78

Causing all this drama, isn't it just to make me look your way?"

Sienna felt as though a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her head.

She didn't even have the energy to fake a smile.

"Jarred." She curled her lips. "Even if I were trying to catch a dog, I wouldn't try to catch you."

Jarred narrowed his eyes. Instead of getting angry, he laughed.

That smile was callous and glaring.

"Is that so?" he said slowly. "Then who was the one who walked into the wrong room all those years ago? Who was the one who crawled into my bed?"

Sienna's face instantly drained of color.

The words were like a blade, plunging brutally into the most painful part of her heart.

That incident was a stain she had been unable to wash away for seven years.

Jarred had never brought it up to her face. She thought he didn't care, or that he had long forgotten.

Turns out, he hadn't forgotten.

Turns out, he had remembered it all along and had always looked at her through that lens.

The matriarch heard everything clearly from behind, her anger melting into triumph.

"Jarred, you've finally seen her true colors. We don't need a cheap woman like her! Divorce her immediately, right this second!"

The surrounding elders echoed her sentiments. "Exactly! The Sterlings will absolutely not allow such a woman to run rampant!"

Jarred's already cold face darkened further amidst the chorus of agreement, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes, though he put on a nonchalant smile.

"Divorce, of course we'll divorce. If we don't do it now, what are we waiting for?"

Saying that, he turned and ordered the bodyguards, "Throw her out of the manor."

Before Sienna could react, two bodyguards stepped forward and grabbed her arms.

The matriarch furrowed her brow. "Wait."

"Before you throw her out, beat her until she's half dead! Otherwise, I'll never be satisfied!"
