Chapter 335
But her legs completely refused to obey. Everything below her waist felt like dead weight anchored to the floor, impossible to move.
“N-No Celeste’s voice trembled violently. “Sienna, don’t you dare p>
Before she could even finish her sentence.
Sienna firmly pinned down her thrashing legs.
Lowering her head to locate the exact pressure point, her fingers gripped a silver needle and drove it down with ruthless precision.
The moment the needle pierced her flesh.
Celeste felt every ounce of sensation below her waist violently ripped away.
Her legs went completely numb and rigid, as if they no longer belonged to her body.
All that remained was an agonizing, suffocating ache deep within her bones, crashing over her in endless waves.
“No p>
Celeste screamed, desperately trying to crawl away.
But her legs remained entirely motionless. Only her upper body writhed uselessly, making her look both ridiculous and pathetic.
Trembling violently with bloodshot eyes, Celeste completely broke down.
She couldn’t maintain a single shred of her dignified facade.
She shrieked hysterically, “Sienna! How dare you do this to me! Do you seriously not want to save Luna Lennox? Don’t you know? Luna is going to die any minute p>
The hand holding the next silver needle paused.
Catching that split-second hesitation, Celeste felt like she had just grasped a lifeline.
“You know, don’t you? Luna is in solitary confinement right now. No visitors, no protection.
“One word from me, and she could drop dead in an ‘accident p>
“People die in there every day anyway. What’s one more p>
Celeste suddenly began to laugh, her voice laced with the manic triumph of a lunatic.
“If you cripple my legs right now, I’ll drag her down to hell with me! Let’s see who breaks first—your pride, or your best friend’s luck p>
Sprawled on the floor, Celeste tilted her head up to stare at Sienna, her eyes brimming with toxic gloating.
She thought she had won. She thought she had found Sienna’s fatal weakness.
She believed that this woman, who always stood so high and mighty above her, was finally going to bow her head and beg.
Little did she know p>
The smile never left Sienna’s face; if anything, it only grew colder and more distant.
Her tone was lazy and freezing, laced with absolute zero degrees of panic, entirely unfazed by the threat.
“If I leave you alone, do you really think you’ll let Luna go p>
Celeste froze for a second before her expression twisted into something even more arrogant and venomous. She sneered “Life unpredictable, who can say for sure? But you could always get on your knees and try begging me to see what happens p>
Sienna looked down at the distorted face.
On her stunning, unapproachable features, the smile widened into something terrifying. “Since Luna won’t survive, you shouldn’t either p>
Before the echo of her words faded, her wrist dropped.
The final silver needle was driven ruthlessly into the pressure point at Celeste’s waist.
In a split second, an absolute, paralyzing agony tore through every single muscle fiber in her body.
Celeste felt the cold radiating directly out of her marrow.
It felt like a million sharp, stinging cuts exploding from her nerves, as if thousands of ants were simultaneously chewing through her flesh.
She opened her mouth to scream, but the pain shattered her voice into broken, suffocating gasps.
She could only lie paralyzed on the floor, convulsing violently as the agony wracked her entire body.
The massive bedroom was filled with nothing but her ragged, tortured breathing—miserable and pathetic.
Just then, the heavy, chaotic sound of boots stomping up the stairs echoed from the hallway.
Like a drowning woman spotting a piece of driftwood, Celeste channeled every last ounce of strength she had into a desperate, tearing shriek.
“Help… Help me! Jarred… save me p>
She screamed until her throat bled; her face slick with tears and snot, utterly convinced the person bursting through that door was her Savior.
The door swung open.
But it wasn’t Jarred.
