Chapter 251
“If you won’t tell me, I’ll find out myself p>
She picked up the project files she needed, not sparing another glance at the two men in front of her.
“I’ll have my lawyer follow up on the divorce cooling-off period. From now on, I, Sienna Sloan, owe nothing to The Sterling Group, and nothing to either of you p>
With that, she walked out without looking back.
Jarred stood frozen, watching her distant back, his dark eyes as somber as the night.
An overwhelming wave of pain crashed over his chest, making it almost impossible to breathe.
He finally dared to face his own feelings. He wanted to make amends. He wanted her to stay.
But the pain he had caused her had already forced her to lock her heart away.
This suppressed, unrequited love that had festered for years coiled tightly around him, tearing him apart.
Maloney watched the scene unfold with a blank expression, quietly clenching his fists.
Sienna returned to her apartment.
The moment the door clicked shut, her composed facade finally crumbled.
She sank onto the couch, pulled out her phone, and dialed Luna’s number.
Luna worked in the police department and had access to the professional technical resources Sienna desperately needed.
She was also the only person in the world Sienna trusted unconditionally.
When the call connected, Sienna held nothing back, pouring out the entire truth.
She recounted everything from being drugged on the night of her coming-of-age ceremony to the deliberate cover-up by Maloney and Jarred, not missing a single detail.
“Jarred is that much of a monster p>
Luna was absolutely fuming. “Dealing with this family has really shown me just how specific a bastard can be! Hold on, I’m coming over right now p>
Barely half an hour later, Luna arrived at Sienna’s apartment.
Sienna stood up and pulled the photo from her bag.
It was the one she had just swiped from Jarred.
In the corner of the frame, there was a blurry, unfamiliar silhouette. The man’s face wasn’t visible, but his posture was striking.
They could only faintly make out that he was wearing a white suit, and there was a subtle diamond glimmer at his cuff, sparkling sharply in the dim lighting.
Sienna handed the photo over. “Luna, this is all I have. He’s the only person who showed up at the manor that night but wasnt on the guest list. Can you run this through your system and see if you can ID him? And p>
She pointed at the cuff of the man’s suit in the photo. “This Diamond Cufflink looks like a top-tier, custom made piece. We should be able to track down the brand and get a client list p>
Luna’s anger flared into determination, and she immediately agreed. “Don’t worry, I’m on it. I’ll let you know the second I have a lead p>
With that, Luna headed straight back to start the investigation.
She utilized the police database’s facial reconstruction and silhouette-matching technology.
After pulling an all-nighter, she managed to filter the massive database down to a dozen suspicious individuals whose physical build matched.
But the photo was simply too degraded. She couldn’t pinpoint an exact identity, only narrow down the scope.
As for the cufflink, she pulled some strings to contact the brand.
However, the company completely stonewalled her, citing their strict top-tier VIP privacy agreements, refusing to leak a single word.
The trail instantly went cold.
Meanwhile, Sienna wasn’t just sitting around waiting for Luna’s update.
She still couldn’t wrap her head around it. Maloney had always been so gentle, so kind to her.
Why would he fight tooth and nail to hide the truth, even if it meant letting her suffer for years?
Whoever this man was, he was capable of slipping into the heavily guarded Sterling Manor undetected, vanishing flawlessly afterward, and holding enough leverage to make. Maloney willingly compromise his morals to protect him. –
This was no ordinary businessman. He had to be holding a fatal secret that Maloney couldn’t afford to let out.
Sienna knew Maloney was airtight. His business and social circles were impeccable.
To uncover his secrets, she had to start with the people closest to him.
Instantly, a name popped into Sienna’s mind!
