Chapter 405
He reached out and seized her wrist.
“Let me see where he touched you p>
His voice was laced with anger, his sharp eyes locked onto the side of her face.
Sienna wanted nothing to do with him. She raised her free hand to pry his fingers off.
Jarred tilted his head, assessing her resistance. “Are you overestimating yourself, or underestimating me p>
Sienna struggled twice but couldn’t break free. She glared back at him in frustration. “Even if he did touch me, what does it matter to you? We’re divorced p>
Instead of loosening, Jarred’s grip on her arm tightened.
He let out a dark chuckle. “Sweetheart, I’m extremely pissed right now. You’d better not add fuel to the fire p>
Before she could react, he yanked her into his chest.
He gripped her chin between his thumb and forefinger, his dark eyes scanning her face, searching for any marks that didn’t belong to her.
Sienna detested his behavior.
She smacked his hand away. “What if I do add fuel to the fire? The fact that I didn’t sleep with him means I exercised extreme restraint p>
“Is that so? You actually wanted to sleep with him p>
Jarred let out a low laugh, his eyes brimming with frost.
His grip on her wrist unconsciously tightened, and the curve of his lips couldn’t hide the dark gloom gathering between his brows.
“Then it’s a good thing you restrained yourself. Otherwise, not even God could have saved him p>
Staring at the handsome, flawless face in front of her, Sienna genuinely wanted to slap him.
She really didn’t get it.
How did this man possess such a talent for driving her up the wall?
She hadn’t lost her temper this much in her entire twenty-something years of life as she did whenever she was alone with him.
“Let go of me, Jarred. Don’t push me, or I swear I’ll go find a guy right now and p>
Jarred’s expression darkened, and he lowered his head, crushing his lips against hers.
Finding another guy? He wouldn’t even give her the chance to finish the sentence, let alone actually do it.
Sienna instantly reacted like a cornered cat.
She tried to open her mouth to bite him, but that only granted him easier access.
He pinned both her wrists firmly above her head, pressing her entirely against the wall.
Sienna used every ounce of strength she had and drove her knee upward.
“Ugh p>
With a muffled groan, the man pressing against her slowly eased his weight.
He braced one hand against the wall, eyes lowered, remaining silent.
Sienna looked at him. An unnatural pallor crept across his cold profile. She scoffed. “Serves you right p>
With that, she turned on her heel and walked away.
“Are you going to find Silas?” Jarred’s hoarse voice drifted from behind.
Sienna stopped in her tracks, frowning as she looked back. “How did you know? Did he send you p>
The moment the words left her mouth, she realized it was a stupid question.
If it hadn’t been for Silas, how could Jarred have arrived right on time?
Sienna ignored him and headed straight for the exit.
An hour later, at The Obsidian Exchange.
The usually dazzling, treasure-filled grand hall was now a complete disaster zone.
Mutton-fat jade bracelets snapped:in half, gilded antique ornaments shattered into pieces, and priceless vintage headpieces were swept onto the floor.
Following orders, a team of bodyguards in black suits specifically targeted the highest-priced, one-of-a-kind items in the display cases.
Every sickening crunch of an artifact breaking felt like a hammer striking the terrified staff members’ hearts.
Sienna stood motionless in the center of the hall, her cool-toned outfit accentuating her sharp features.
She wore the insignia of the head of the Sterling family on her hand.
Under the lights, the translucent jade thumb ring emitted a chilling gleam.
Surrounded by a phalanx of imposing bodyguards, her aura was so suffocating that the entire halk was dead silent.
