Chapter 363
Even if the acupuncture can heal old injuries, you obviously could have treated it gently, you could have used conservative treatment!
You deliberately used the rules of the acupuncture to take revenge on me and ruin the rest of my life p>
Celeste was simply too smart.
She didn’t argue about faking the limp, didn’t deconstruct the logic, and didn’t touch the truth.
She only grasped at the outcome, and only appealed to the people she could manipulate.
She snapped her head up, staring straight at Jarred with tearful eyes, her voice broken and subservient.
“Jarred… I don’t know how to play mind games, I only know people’s hearts.
Back then, when I carried you back from Azure Ridge, I was praying the entire way.
As long as you could stay alive, no matter what you asked me to do, no matter how much I had to sacrifice… I would be willing.
I have never harmed you in the slightest.
And now I’ve ended up permanently disabled, cursed by the whole internet, with my reputation in ruins p>
Do I really deserve this?
Are you really going to believe this twisted logic? Believe her, and not me p>
With one sentence, the comments section was torn apart again.
[The evidence is real, but Celeste is still way too pitiful p>
[Whether she faked it or not, she actually got crippled in the end p>
[Saving his life is a fact! Jarred is really put in a tough spot now p>
Every gaze in the room pinned itself entirely on Jarred.
Sienna watched him coldly, a clear, transparent calmness in her eyes.
She knew he understood.
But Celeste’s words just now were too emotionally manipulative.
Even if he knew the whole truth, he still owed her a life.
He could never truly pass judgment and completely abandon Celeste.
Jarred’s Adam’s apple rolled heavily, an unfathomable depth pooling in his eyes.
He stared darkly and heavily at Sienna, who stood opposite him with her unyielding pride from beginning to end.
Restraint washed over his eyes like a rising tide, every shred of emotion vivid and scorching.
After a long while, his thin lips parted, his voice deep and controlled: “Sienna Sloan, did not intentionally harm anyone p>
Sienna’s eyelashes fluttered; she clearly hadn’t expected him to say that.
But the next second, his gaze darkened, his voice carrying an inescapable shackle: “And Celeste Carlyle did not fake her limp p>
The moment the words fell, the tense atmosphere in the entire hospital room instantly eased up.
The matriarch grabbed Celeste’s hand with heartache, “Exactly, exactly, how could Celeste possibly lie?
She’s a kind girl who would blame herself for half a day just for stepping on an ant p>
Helena chimed in sarcastically, “It’s pitiful enough for a young woman to end up with crippled legs.
Why must she be cyberbullied on top of that? The villain who caused all this truly deserves retribution p>
Sienna stood perfectly still, ignoring their slander, and merely stared blankly at Jarred across from her.
The indifference in his eyes was crystal clear—no partiality, no defense, not even a single trace of hesitation.
In this moment, Sienna saw completely through to the end.
She had won the court of public opinion and won the truth, but she could never win against Jarred’s undeniable bras for Celeste.
Looking at his cold profile, Sienna softly curled the corners of her lips into a frigid smile.
She couldn’t even be bothered to expose him, nor was she angry.
The arrogance in her bones made her feel that even holding a grudge was a waste of time.
All she wanted was her own innocence; as for this man, she couldn’t care less, let alone who he was protecting.
Within a few short minutes, the live stream’s popularity skyrocketed to umber one across the entire platform, with online viewers. surpassing a million.
The camera hung high in the hospital room, broadcasting everyone’s expressions and emotions directly into the public eye.
Just as the atmosphere relaxed, Gideon was the first to step forward.
He locked a hard, cold glare on Sienna, launching a public attack.
“Even if the acupuncture incident is a misunderstanding like you said, and her leg injury has nothing to do with you, what about you falsely accusing Celeste of framing Luna Lennox p>
Sienna met his gaze, her eyes sharp. “Why don’t you show some proof then p>
