Chapter 319
Sienna’s knuckles turned white around her phone. She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting long shadows over her cheeks, hiding the violent storm brewing in her gaze.
Maloney instantly sensed the situation spiraling out of control, and with his usual calm and decisive demeanor, he issued an order.
“Wipe the scene clean. I don’t want a single footprint left behind to prove we were here.
Everyone pull out immediately. Leave them absolutely nothing to use against us p>
“Yes, sir p>
Sienna climbed back into the car, accompanied by Maloney.
The very next second, her phone rang again. The caller ID showed the Metropolitan Police Department.
Sienna answered, and a stern, authoritative male voice came through the speaker. “Hello, am I speaking with Ms. Sienna Sloan p>
Sienna’s fingers went completely still, but her voice remained perfectly level. “Speaking p>
“This is the Metropolitan Police Department. We have an ongoing case and need you to come down to the precinct to assist with an investigation and verify some information. Please make your way here immediately p>
A chilling glint flashed across Sienna’s eyes, but she maintained her absolute composure, agreeing in a calm tone.
It wasn’t until she hung up that she realized the fingers clutching her phone were trembling uncontrollably.
Maloney’s warm hand wrapped firmly around her wrist. “I’ve already called Jarred. Don’t be afraid, I’m going with you right now p>
Sienna leaned back against the seat, completely silent.
Outside the window, the city lights blurred past, casting flickering shadows across her face that made her expression utterly unreadable.
Luna hadn’t just started helping her dig into these cases; she was incredibly meticulous and cautious. She had never made a single mistake.
Yet, right at the climax of this massive bait-and-switch operation, she miraculously gets caught red-handed. It was far too perfectly timed to be a coincidence.
Sienna rapidly pieced the chaotic puzzle together in her mind.
Within seconds, an agonizing, freezing rage washed over her eyes as she saw the entire trap for what it was.
This was no accident.
The enemy had engineered a multi layered trap from the very beginning. They used the dummy trucks to lure her to the waste site.
Then, they used that exact moment to catch Luna breaking protocol, giving them the perfect excuse to lock her up.
From start to finish, this entire chess match was designed to take down Luna.
They knew Luna was her right hand. Eliminating her at this exact critical moment was nothing more than a desperate move to cover up a horrific crime.
Sienna clenched her fists, her eyes burning with an intense, lethal ruthlessness.
The interrogation room was dimly lit, the air suffocatingly heavy.
A police officer sat across the table, sliding a stack of freshly printed photos toward Sienna.
His gaze locked onto her, radiating intense pressure.
“We received an anonymous tip claiming that Officer Luna Lennox has been illegally feeding you confidential case files.
Furthermore, she used her position to secretly run background checks on multiple wealthy businessmen m the Capital for you. The two of you have been colluding to serve your own interests p>
Sienna’s face paled.
Every single photo on the table was crystal clear and absolutely damning.
They were pictures of Luna accompanying her to Sterling Manor on the day they investigated Grandpa’s collapse.
The angles were incredibly discreet—someone had clearly been tailing them to take these.
The officer paused, his tone growing sharper. “When we brought Luna in, she was on the phone with you.
Now, tell me the truth. What exactly did you ask her to investigate off the books? What is your ultimate goal p>
Sienna’s heart plummeted, a blinding, sudden panic crashing through her veins like a tidal wave.
Her mind went completely blank.
But after half a second of shock, she brutally crushed the raging storm inside her.
She looked up at the stone-faced officer, her voice freezing cold, without a single tremor of fear.
“Before I answer any of your questions, I need to make a phone call p>
