Chapter 456
“Just more pathetic, forged trash.” Sienna closed her eyes briefly.
“She’s trying to tie me up so I stop digging, which only proves we’re heading in the right direction.
If we don’t deal with the Daisy problem, she’s going to keep coming back p>
Thea frowned slightly. “I smoothed things over at the hospital. Daisy has already moved Albert back to a regular ward.
Even for a synthetic recording, they’d need a baseline voice sample of Albert first.
I ran background checks on all the nurses and staff handling him, and none of them look suspicious.
The only red flag happened this morning. Daisy demanded to see him, and when the staff told her visiting hours were over, she threw a tantrum at the door and left.
But later this afternoon, a random guy showed up at the hospital.
He didn’t enter any rooms or talk to the doctors. He just hung out at the nurses’ station for a few minutes p>
Pulling out her phone, Thea played a video for them.
Sienna leaned in. It was hallway security footage.
The stranger was dressed in head-to-toe black, wearing a cap and mask.
While he was distracting the desk nurse, Albert’s primary care nurse happened to walk out of his room.
Just as she passed by, the man abruptly turned to leave.
On camera, the two deliberately collided.
But when Thea paused and zoomed in, it was clear the man had slipped something out of the nurse’s pocket.
The resolution was too grainy to make out his face.
Sienna demanded immediately, “Did you track where he went p>
Thea nodded, then shook her head. “I had someone pull all the hospital cameras. We only caught him getting into the elevator, and then the trail went dead.
What a coincidence, the hospital’s entire network went down for ‘maintenance’ today p>
Sienna’s brows knit together. “Run the plates on every vehicle leaving the hospital during that timeframe.
Or anyone idling too long by the entrance. Hack the street cameras in a one mile radius if you have refuse to believe this guy vanished into thin air p>
“Got it. I’ll ping you the second we get a hit p>
Luna studied Sienna for a moment before biting her lip. “Sienna, honestly… Celeste’s biggest shield right now is the Sterlings and Jarred.
If we tear away her fake identity and leave her exposed, won’t she just self-destruct p>
Sienna gave a dry scoff and shook her head. “You’re underestimating how desperately Helena and Eleanor rely on her.
Their hatred for me isn’t going to vanish just because I saved Jarred’s life.
Even if Jarred found out, it would just lead to more messy entanglements.
I just want this cooling-off period to end so I can legally sever all ties with them, don’t want anything to do with that family for one second longer p>
“Fair point. As an outsider, it feels like Jarred is the only one who still holds a tiny, sliver of attachment to you, and even that’s debatable p>
Thea frowned. “But it really is bizarre. Eleanor and Helena are practically worshiping the ground Celeste walks on.
Why are they so blindly obedient to her p>
Sienna’s mind suddenly flashed back to that night on the terrace, watching Celeste massaging Eleanor’s shoulders and pouring her wine.
“I know Celeste has been quietly sourcing rare liquors for Eleanor. There’s definitely something shady in those bottles.
As for Helena… I haven’t figured her out yet p>
“Should we get those bottles tested?” Thea asked.
“Not right now,” Sienna sneered. “Eleanor would never take my side anyway, and I have zero intention of saving her p>
“Let them tear each other apart. It’ll be a great show p>
