Chapter 388
“I thought you’d actually bring a trump card.” Sienna’s expression was dismissive.
“And it’s just using Director Barney Reed to pressure me? If I were scared of him, I wouldn’t be Sienna Sloan p>
Eleanor’s face shifted abruptly. “Don’t get cocky! I know plenty of people. If he won’t work, there’s always someone who can put you in your place p>
Sienna hadn’t moved an inch the entire time. “Then I’ll wait until you find them p>
She slowly lifted her eyes, her dark pupils clear and biting cold, showing absolutely zero fear.
But that gaze was far too sharp. Just looking over casually like that.
It silently chopped Helena and Eleanor’s imposing dominance right in half.
“Innocent and sweet p>
Sienna repeated softly, laughing coldly. “Two-faced, a gossip-monger, and deliberately framing public officials—that’s what you call innocent and sweet p>
Helena screeched, “You made all that up! You set Celeste up p>
“If you want to call me a liar, you better bring evidence p>
Sienna’s eyes iced over, refusing to give them an inch.
“The admission process was perfectly legal. The diagnostic report is crystal clear, and the family consent forms are all signed.
If you have a problem with it, feel free to take legal action or hire a third-party medical team for an independent assessment.
But banging on my desk isn’t going to solve a damn thing p>
“Perfectly legal?” Helena’s voice pitched up in rage. “Cut the act!
You think I don’t know what you’re up to? Aren’t you just jealous because Celeste is close to Jarred?
Don’t you just think she’s an eyesore? Sienna, you’re so young, how can your heart be this rotten p>
Eleanor chimed in, her voice low but every word meant to cut deep. “The Sterlings have treated you well.
I may not have been thrilled when Jarred married you, but I held my tongue.
And what do you do? You turn around and lock Celeste in a place like that.
Sienna, the Sterlings can’t afford to keep a woman like you around.
Stop trying so hard to prove a point. Get out of Jarred’s life right now, and stop making trouble for Celeste or don’t blame us for getting ugly p>
Hearing all of this, the sarcasm on Sienna’s lips only deepened.
Her gaze swept calmly over the two furious women, her eyes filled with the tranquil detachment of someone observing lunatics.
“Ms. Helena. Eleanor p>
Sienna leaned back in her chair, folding her hands on the desk, her tone infuriatingly leisurely.
“Honestly, from where I’m sitting, your mental state today doesn’t look too promising either p>
Helena froze for a second. “What is that supposed to mean p>
Sienna tilted her head slightly, her gaze sliding from Helena’s flushed face to Eleanor’s livid one.
‘Easily agitated, using extreme language, completely illogical-these are all classic clinical symptoms of psychological abnormality.
You say I’m targeting Celeste? No, I keep my cases separate.
She was admitted because she genuinely needed it. As for your reactions today p>
She dragged out the syllables, her eyes carrying a spine-chilling level of seriousness.
“I think it’s highly necessary for both of you to check in for a systematic evaluation. You can keep Celeste company. A sweet little family reunion in the ward-how lovely p>
With that, she reached for the phone.
Her movements were fluid and natural, not looking like a bluff in the slightest.
Helena and Eleanor stiffened simultaneously before their rage flared even hotter.
“What nonsense are you spewing! We think you’re the crazy one here p>
Sienna didn’t bat an eye, the coldness in her gaze intensifying. “Whether it’s nonsense or not, we can find out right now.
I admit quite a few patients every year, anyway. I certainly have the authority to request two extra beds p>
The medical staff watching from the doorway all knew the truth; none of them thought Sienna was bluffing.
