Chapter 359
The more Helena thought about it, the more furious she became. “We are not letting this slide. I’ve already called our lawyers. Aggravated assault carries a minimum three-year sentence.
Sienna loves playing games, doesn’t she? Well, I’m going to make sure she rots playing them p>
She pulled out her phone to make the call.
Everyone in the room nodded in grim agreement, universally condemning Sienna as unforgivable.
Everyone except Jarred, who was exuding a terrifying, bone-chilling aura.
In one massive stride, he crossed the room and snatched the phone clean out of Helena’s hand, his movements ruthless and precise.
Frost coated the man’s features. He cast a lethally indifferent stare at the tearful Celeste, his voice laced with an unshakable finality.
“There was absolutely nothing wrong with Sienna’s treatment. She brought this entirely on herself p>
Celeste still had tears streaming down her face, but for a split second, a nearly imperceptible flash of panic crossed her eyes.
“Jarred, what kind of nonsense is that?” The matriarch was utterly bewildered.
“I said,” Jarred bit out, separating every word, “Sienna did not ruin Celeste’s legs. Sienna did absolutely nothing wrong.
Delete those hit-pieces against her immediately. If you don’t, I have zero problems showing you exactly what I’m capable of p>
The room fell into a stunned silence.
Gideon shot to his feet. “Jarred, have you lost your mind? Celeste has given you everything! She saved your damn life!
Are you really tossing aside your life debt for a woman who intentionally destroyed her p>
Helena couldn’t believe her own son was saying this, the sheer rage shooting straight to her head.
She was just about to scream at him when the suite doors violently burst open.
A man in a sharp gray suit stood in the doorway, wielding a wireless microphone.
Behind him stood a cameraman hoisting a heavy lens, followed by a swarm of media reporters gripping their phones like weapons.
And the person leading the charge p>
was Sienna.
She wore a sleek black trench coat, her hair cascading beautifully over her shoulders, a perfectly serene smile gracing her stunning features.
Thea Stanton flanked her side, oozing an elite, fiercely intimidating aura.
Sienna’s gaze completely bypassed Jarred, who was standing closest to the door.
Though his cold, detached eyes instantly lit up the moment he saw her, she ignored him completely, locking her stare directly onto Celeste.
“Wow. It’s quite a party in here. Looks like I’m right on time.” Sienna smirked.
Her provocative voice rang loud and clear through the dead-silent suite.
Helena was the first to react. “Who let you in? Get out p>
“Calm down, Helena.” Sienna didn’t budge. She simply tilted her head toward the woman beside her.
Thea stepped forward, extracting a document from her briefcase and thrusting it in front of Helena.
“Helena, I am Ms. Sloan’s legal representative, Thea Stanton p>
Her voice was steady and lethal. “Regarding the aggravated assaultTM charges you just mentioned. mÿ Client is here toussue a formal response p>
Helena refused to take the paper. “I don’t give a damn about her response! What do you think you’re doing p>
She shrieked, pointing a frantic finger at the swarm of cameras behind Sienna.
Helena was no stranger to the limelight. One look at the heavy equipment, and she knew exactly who these people were.
“Who authorized you to film? Shut those cameras off immediately p>
Helena screamed, lunging forward to block the lenses, but she was swiftly and easily restrained by Sienna’s towering bodyguards.
“There are no visitation bans in this ward,” Sienna said, a sweet smile playing on her lips.
“And I’m here today to set the record straight. I’ve brought the press to live stream this entire conversation. Just to keep things completely transparent p>
Live-stream?
Hearing that word, every single face in the room drained of color.
