Chapter 341
“Ah p>
Every drop of color instantly drained from Celeste’s face.
If Jarred had known all along, why didn’t he tell her?
Had he already seen through everything, just waiting for her to self-destruct? Or was he testing her p>
Celeste gripped the blanket beneath her, on the verge of losing her composure.
Sienna delightfully admired the changing expressions on Celeste’s face.
That bone-deep terror was far more vivid than any exquisite makeup.
She leaned in slightly, her gaze falling on Celeste’s bruised and swollen legs.
“You keep claiming I harmed you, but I was clearly trying to save you,” Sienna tilted her head, her smile growing even more sarcastic.
“Rushing to give you the second treatment within three months, theoretically, your crippled legs should have healed. So why did they get worse instead p>
Celeste felt as if someone was crushing her heart, making it impossible to breathe.
But Sienna didn’t give her a moment to rest, pressing the attack.
“Also, you just said you’ve been seeing doctors lately. Whose medicine cured you?
A medical titan like Dr. Vance took over thirty years to perfect this technique.
Yet these doctors made you stand in just over a month? It’s a medical miracle.
Since their medical skills are so superb, why not invite them all here and use Jarred’s connections to promote them?
You and these miracle doctors would be world-famous. Wouldn’t everyone be happy p>
Celeste’s scalp tingled at the mockery.
How could she not hear the sheer ridicule in those words?
Sienna straightened up, looking around with the expression of someone thoroughly enjoying the show.
Suddenly, her clear eyes locked onto the walk-in closet across the room.
She walked over and picked up one of the pairs of shoes from the shelf.
“I remember this is the brand’s new season release, right? It just dropped domestically this week. How does it already have scuff marks? And they’re high heels?
Sienna smiled faintly, her amused eyes fixed intently on Celeste’s pale face.
Seeing Sienna’s mocking smile, Celeste almost lost her footing in the argument.
“Just because my legs are crippled doesn’t mean I can’t wear shoes!! just said they were showing signs of improvement over the last few days p>
Sienna scoffed. “Improving just enough to walk in high heels p>
With that, she immediately reached over and picked up the shoes Celeste had left by the bed.
She exposed the soles to everyone, revealing fresh red dirt clinging to them.
The soil was dark, clearly a recent addition.
“How do you explain this?” Siennal raised an eyebrow. “In this entire villa complex, I believe only the central garden has soil this color.
Are your legs well enough to walk that far, Ms. Carlyle p>
Celeste froze completely, cold sweat pouring down her forehead and matting her hair.
But this wasn’t her first day maneuvering around Jarred.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and turned to look at the man who had remained entirely silent.
Jarred’s expression hadn’t changed at all.
A chilling aura radiated from him as his dark, profound eyes locked heavily onto her swollen, stiff legs. His emotions were unreadable.
That utterly deadened, scrutinizing gaze was far more terrifying than any furious screaming.
Because it meant he was thinking, not just spectating.
Realizing this, Celeste couldn’t help but shudder.
Her rosy complexion instantly turned ashen, her eyes widening in horror!
