Chapter 368
“Sienna specifically hired people to forge this evidence just to destroy me. She hates me, resents me, and would frame me at any cost.
No matter how ignorant or spoiled I might be, I have never had the malicious intent to harm anyone.
Jarred, you forgot that I saved your life. How could I possibly do something so venomous p>
Jarred stood in place, his expression so flat there wasn’t a single ripple.
No matter how the woman in front of him tearfully begged, the line of his brows remained completely unmoved from start to finish.
Gideon clenched his fists tightly.
He believed her.
Because he loved her.
He loved her so much that he could close his eyes, plug his ears, and treat all evidence as a deliberate frame-up.
The matriarch and Helena also looked completely conflicted.
That’s right, the Celeste they knew was so kind and adorable, when had she ever harmed anyone?
Why did they think she was a bad person just after listening to a few instigating words from Sienna?
This had to be one of Sienna’s tricks!
“Why won’t anyone believe me… Why? I really haven’t done anything… I really haven’t p>
Celeste cried as if her heart was breaking, filling the entire room with her heart-wrenching sobs.
Her disabled legs were curled up weakly, making her look vulnerable and pitiful.
The persona of the kind, grateful savior was welded right back into everyone’s hearts.
The next second, the brief shock everyone had felt completely vanished into thin air, and they blindly switched sides once again.
Helena’s eyes were the first to turn red. She whipped her head around and glared viciously at Sienna, her voice sharp.
“It’s you! This is all because of your venomous heart. Celeste is kind, weak, and innocent.
At most, she’s occasionally spoiled and headstrong. How could she possibly instigate someone to frame a public official.
Sienna, for the sake of revenge, you’d even go so far as to break the law by forging evidence to frame her p>
The matriarch’s eyes held nothing but heartache for Celeste and disgust for Sienna.
“You are simply too vicious! Celeste risked her life to save Jarred, ending up covered in illnesses and suffering endless grievances.
You push her at every turn, not even giving her a way to survive. You can even forge evidence; what else wouldn’t you dare to do p>
Gideon and Lucas were completely blinded by empathy, totally ignoring the clear authenticity of the video as. they glared death at Sienna, their hostility skyrocketing.
“This video is definitely heavily edited. Celeste is soft-hearted, kind, and transparent.
She just has a bit of a temper at most. She absolutely doesn’t have the venomous heart to harm people p>
“Sienna, to clear your own name and settle a personal grudge, you didn’t hesitate to manufacture fake evidence!
To destroy a life, to destroy an innocent, weak person! You are too terrifying, too despicable p>
The ironclad evidence was piled as high as a mountain, yet everyone turned a blind eye.
The entire internet was wide awake, but only the Sterling family blindly protected the villain.
They would rather believe that Sienna had forged it all out of malicious revenge.
Than believe that the lifesaver they had pitied and protected for years was a mastermind of legal loopholes and an utterly evil, top-tier hypocrite.
The live stream comments flooded the screen.
[Did the Sterling family eat Celeste’s shit? Defending her this blindly p>
[To be able to train so many people into loyal lapdogs, this bitch is something else p>
[The Sterlings can’t be this brain-dead, right? Is this bitch’s level just that high or is Sienna playing ạn even bigger game? I honestly can’t tell anymore p>
Sienna’s expression was so plain it lacked any emotion.
She didn’t defend herself, nor did she flip out in anger.
She merely raised her eyes, her cold gaze sweeping over the family banding together in their bias and a mocking smile tugged at the comer of her lips.
“When you play the sympathy card enough times, you only manage to fool those who are willingly deceived p>
Sienna was too lazy to spare them another glance, silently casting a questioning look at Thea.
Thea gave her a subtle nod.
This extremely minute interaction between the two went unnoticed by the others.
But it was still seen through by Jarred.
Jarred stood in place, his gaze continually following Sienna’s aloof yet proud figure.
