Chapter 394
That’s right. Sienna had been sending people to track down those two bodyguards, but their whereabouts were still unknown.
She stared coldly at the hysterical Daisy in front of her.
“Did your mother ever tell you that I am currently the one paying all your father’s medical bills p>
Daisy froze slightly.
Ignoring the shock on her face, Sienna continued with a level gaze, “Your father’s life and death are literally in my hands.
If I wanted to threaten your mother, why would I go all the way across the world to look for you p>
The entire room fell deadly quiet.
Immediately, a few nearby relatives began to nod.
“That’s true. When my husband and I went to visit Albert last time, he had been transferred to a different ward p>
“Ms. Sloan even hired a twenty-four-hour caregiver for him. His daily care and medications were all switched to expensive imports. He’s recovering much better than before p>
Daisy stood there with a vacant stare, her body involuntarily stumbling a step backward.
She suddenly remembered the phone call she had with her mom the morning she passed away.
Speaking about her dad’s condition, her mother had happily told her that he now had much better doctors and would definitely recover soon.
But what did that prove?
Her mother had written it down clearly in black and white. She would never mistake her handwriting!
“I don’t believe you! This has to be your most devious trick—making sure everyone sees how well you treat my dad, while secretly murdering my mom behind our backs! You killer, I only believe what I see p>
The moment the words left her mouth, she whipped her head around to look at Jarred.
Instantly, she morphed into a picture of helpless fragility and pitiful vulnerability.
“Jarred p>
That desperate cry was sharp and clear, ringing out so loudly that everyone present heard it perfectly.
She used his first name instead of the distant Mr. Sterling or the professional Captain.
It was an intimate familiarity that only those deeply close to him since childhood, like her and Celeste, were allowed.
Daisy suddenly lunged forward, grabbing a fistful of Jarred’s sleeve.
She leaned almost half her body weight against him, looking entirely dependent and overwhelmingly helpless.
“My mom served you for over a decade. She watched you grow up and treated you like her own son.. Even if you dont value her loyalty, you have to respect her hard work p>
Her voice trembled, tears falling in a never-ending stream.
“My dad has been bedridden since was little. My mom and I relied entirely on your care to survive. I’ve always viewed you as family, my only real protection p>
Almost the very second she leaned into him, Jarred instinctively stepped back.
Daisy only managed to grab onto his arm.
Hanging almost entirely off his arm, she sobbed until she couldn’t catch her breath, her loud wails echoing throughout the entire hall.
She looked up at him through tear-blurred eyes.
“Jarred, you have to believe me! You must help me uncover the truth! We can’t let my mom die in vain, and we cant fet the real killer get away with this p>
Daisy gripped Jarred’s sleeve so tightly her nails practically dug into the fabric.
In the solemn memorial hall, this scene was both glaring and utterly absurd.
Everyone present was watching.
A young woman crying and desperately clinging to a married man’s sleeve in front of a crowd.
Meanwhile, this man’s legal wife stood quietly just ten feet away, coldly spectating this brilliant theatrical performance.
No one said a word.
The memorial hall was so quiet you could hear a white petal drop to the floor.
Jarred looked down at the hand death-gripping his cuff.
Frowning involuntarily, he raised a hand to push her away.
But he found that Daisy was gripping him far too tightly.
At the same time, he could feel a gaze from across the room landing directly on him, as freezing as winter rain.
The surrounding air instantly became thick with tension.
