Chapter 473
“Exactly,” Sienna replied, tapping her fingers lightly against the desk.
“It seems Celeste wants to get rid of this annoying nuisance too, conveniently using my hands to do it. But she didn’t expect that I have no intention of taking the blame p>
Thea’s voice filled with understanding. “You’re going to let her self-destruct p>
“Hold onto that security footage for now,” Sienna instructed.
“Wait until she thinks she has everyone fooled, until she believes Jarred will actually turn against me for her sake, and until her ego inflates beyond reason p>
Sienna paused, the smirk on her lips deepening slightly.
“That is when we release the footage p>
Thea let out a low chuckle on the other end of the line. “You’re ruthless. Alright, I get it.
I’ll keep the video locked down. Call me whenever you need me p>
“Will do p>
Hanging up, Sienna looked out at the overcast sky.
Celeste wanted to use a proxy to do her dirty work, while Daisy wanted to take her place.
Fine. Let the two of them tear each other apart.
Meanwhile, inside the emergency room.
The doctor meticulously cleaned the wounds and completed a thorough examination.
Looking at a fragile Daisy on the hospital bed, the doctor turned to the man standing nearby—whose aura was frigid and radiating irritation—and gave an honest medical report.
“Mr. Sterling, the patient’s superficial injuries aren’t severe. They are just minor scrapes and abrasions.
However, because the wounds were left unsterilized for a long time, and the patient actively picked at and aggravated the scabs, it caused secondary tearing and mild inflammation.
She will experience some swelling and pain, and the recovery period will be significantly longer p>
Panic gripped Daisy’s heart. Her eyes immediately welled up, and tears spilled over as she cried even more pitifully.
She knew very well that Jarred despised people who gossiped and nagged endlessly.
So, rather than directly accusing Sienna, she made sure every whimper subtly implied that she had been maliciously targeted.
“Jarred… please don’t be mad. Dr. Sloan didn’t mean it… She probably just really hates me p>
Daisy trembled as if in unbearable pain, cold sweat dampening the loose hair on her forehead. She ̈ looked incredibly weak helpless and pitiful.
Jarred stood tall in the center of the room with his hands shoved into his pockets, his face an unreadable mask.
His dark eyes fell heavily upon Daisy.
Listening to her endless sobbing, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
There was not a shred of pity or heartache in his eyes, only an overwhelming surge of annoyance and impatience.
Until the doctor finally finished dressing all the wounds, applied the bandages, and gave some gentle instructions.
“The injuries aren’t life-threatening, but she will need strict bed rest for at least a week. No walking around p>
Jarred gave a curt nod, his expression cold and his voice low and indifferent. “You don’t need to return to school for now. Focus on recovering p>
On the bed, a wave of sheer ecstasy washed over Daisy.
This was exactly the result she had schemed so hard for!
As long as she could use her injuries as an excuse to stay by Jarred’s side for another day.
She gained another opportunity to get closer to him and a higher chance of replacing Sienna.
Even if she had to suffer a little physical pain today, she considered it a wildly profitable trade.
She looked up at the man’s handsome, aloof profile, her eyes brimming with greed and adoration.
Softening her posture, she immediately tried to curry favor. “Jarred, I was wrong today. I acted recklessly and caused a misunderstanding.
Once I recover, I will properly apologize to Dr. Sloan. I promise I won’t upset her again p>
She assumed this sensible and mature declaration would earn the man’s softened affection and pity.
Unexpectedly, Jarred didn’t even spare her a glance.
