Chapter 444
The chair scraped against the floor, emitting a sharp, grating sound as Sienna pushed it back.
The eyes of the entire hall snapped toward her again.
Eleanor stopped speaking, and Helena paused her dramatic tear-wiping.
Everyone’s gaze was locked on Sienna.
Sienna looked at the woman in the wheelchair on the stage, her lips curving upward slightly. “Eleanor, did you say this young lady’s name is Cora Vaughan p>
Eleanor’s eyes turned frosty. “What of it p>
“Nothing,” Sienna smiled.
“I just think it’s far too coincidental. To think there’s someone in this world who looks exactly like Celeste, right down to the injuries on her legs.
I wonder if Ms. Vaughan could be so kind as to show us her identification p>
Helena’s face instantly dropped. “Sienna, today is Eleanor’s birthday banquet. Showing up uninvited was rude enough.
If you keep causing trouble, believe me, I will have you thrown out p>
Helena was unusually confident today, likely assuming Sienna had no evidence.
Her tone was aggressive and unyielding.
“Helena,” Sienna cut her off, her smile never fading.
“I’m merely curious. Taking in a granddaughter is a massive event; shouldn’t you make sure everyone is fully convinced?
How can there be such an identical stroke of fate in this world, and such a perfectly coincidental physique and leg injury?
Eleanor, your story is a bit too much of a stretch to convince the crowd p>
The entire hall went dead silent.
The guests stared at Sienna, their hearts pounding in their chests.
In the entire Capital, Sienna was the only person who dared to publicly tear down the Sterlings’ stage.
They were stunned by her sheer audacity while secretly breaking a sweat for her.
Eleanor’s face darkened, but she had come fully prepared.
She stared at Sienna for a few seconds before suddenly breaking into a smile.
It was the composed smile of a guaranteed winner. “Cora, show your documents to Ms. Sloan p>
The woman in the wheelchair looked up, meeting Sienna’s gaze.
There was no provocation, no arrogance in those eyes.
Only perfectly measured timidity, like a frightened little bunny.
She pulled a folder from her bag and handed it over with both hands.
Sienna took it.
ID card, household register, notarized certificates… everything was there.
Every single procedure was perfectly legal, every stamp was official, and there wasn’t a single flaw to pick apart.
How was this possible?
Sienna could hardly believe her own eyes.
She looked up at Eleanor’s arrogant posture, fell silent for a second, and then said coldly Faking one’s death is no minor offense
Celeste is currently an escaped convict. Such a massive misunderstanding can’t be smoothed over with just a shiny new identity.
Eleanor, if you truly want to convince the crowd, why don’t you just show us the DNA comparison between Ms. Vaughan and Celeste p>
As soon as she said that, murmurs rippled through the crowd.
People silently agreed with Sienna’s sharp logic and bravery.
Unfazed, Eleanor glanced at Helena.
Helena took a sealed envelope from a subordinate and handed it directly to Eleanor.
Opening it, Eleanor said, “I thought this would take a bit longer, but as luck would have it, Director Julian Bennett just delivered it.
Director Bennett?
Sienna frowned and glanced back at the crowd.
Sure enough, she spotted the head of the Metropolitan Forensic Center.
The document Helena had just received was handed over by him.
Eleanor’s calm yet undeniably smug voice rang out again.
“I had this done myself. It’s the DNA test for the two of them. Go on, give it to Ms. Sloan to examine p>
The test results were immediately placed into Sienna’s hands.
At the very bottom, a line was clearly printed: The DNA profiles of the two samples are completely different They are unequivocally excluded from being the same person.
