Chapter 452
That pure, harmless, unjustly targeted look worked like a charm.
It instantly drew sympathy from the surrounding guests, whose glares at Sienna grew increasingly hostile.
Sienna let out a soft scoff, too exhausted to entertain this ridiculous performance any longer.
She turned around, facing the room full of elite guests.
Her clear, cold voice echoed crisply through the microphone, commanding absolute attention.
“This young woman just publicly accused me of murdering her mother. I want to state on the record regarding Mrs. Bridges’ accidental death.
I proactively submitted all materials and requested an independent investigation a long time ago.
The full vehicle forensics and the unedited dashcam footage have all been handed over.
That includes all call logs and GPS tracking. Everything is already filed with the economic crimes division.
If I am innocent p>
Her gaze, sharp as a blade, swept over the crowd, her presence overwhelming the room.
Finally, her eyes landed on Celeste. “I have nothing to hide. The moment the investigation results are made public.
I will sue every single person who has slandered me today. Including you p>
As her words landed, her eyes locked onto Daisy, who was still seething with rage. Sienna’s tone was calm, yet it carried a piercing weight.
“Daisy, I’ll only say this once. When you finally realize you’ve been aiming your hatred at the wrong person, I hope you have the guts to face the real killer.
And as of this moment, I will no longer provide a single cent or any medical support for your father’s ongoing care p>
With that, she didn’t linger for another second. Her posture remained flawless and unbothered as she turned and walked off the stage.
Daisy stared at her cold retreating figure, her chest suddenly tightening.
It wasn’t that she felt sorry for Sienna, nor did she think she had gone too far.
But she had heard rumors that Sienna had hired an international team of specialists for her father.
And it dawned on her that all this time, she genuinely hadn’t paid a single dime for his massive medical bills.
She hadn’t even graduated college yet. She didn’t even know how she was going to pay her tuition next semester.
If she had to shoulder her father’s medical expenses all by herself p>
As the panic set in, Celeste, noticing her internal crisis, rolled her wheelchair over and offered a soft; comforting whisper “your Jarret has way more money than she does. Don’t worry, he will catch your if you fatt p>
Hearing that, Daisy glanced at Jarred, who was still speaking with the police nearby.
A wave of naive infatuation washed over her eyes, instantly wiping away her financial dread.
“I don’t need anything from you!” Daisy shouted, straightening her spine and glaring at Sienna.
“Thank you for letting my dad go! If he stayed in your hands, he probably would have dropped dead any second p>
Sitting in her wheelchair, Celeste looked at the foolishly screaming girl, a flicker of pure contempt hiding in her eyes.
Sienna didn’t bother replying. She walked calmly toward the two officers.
“Let’s go. I’ll come with you p>
From beginning to end, she didn’t cast a single glance at Jarred standing beside her.
No pleas for help. No clinging.
The officers were briefly stunned. They clearly hadn’t expected someone being publicly hauled off to be this cooperative.
They politely stepped aside. “Right this way, Dr. Sloan p>
Under the complicated, judging stares of the entire room, Sienna walked out with grace following the officers into the night. Het back remained perfectly straight,. unbroken and cold.
After Sienna was taken away, the once-boisterous birthday banquet instantly deflated.
All the celebratory joy evaporated, leaving behind a suffocating, awkward silence.
Guests whispered fiercely among themselves.
This massive eightieth birthday celebration had ultimately devolved into a scandalous spectacle for the entire city to gossip about
Eleanor’s face was grim, her mood thoroughly ruined.
A perfectly good banquet had been trashed. The granddaughter she had just joyfully welcomed into the family p>
