Chapter 478
Watching from the front seat, Declan could visibly feel the temperature inside the car plummeting.
Sure, his Boss had more money than he could spend in a lifetime.
But that didn’t mean just any woman was allowed to hemorrhage his wealth like this!
Just as Declan was secretly sweating in panic, unable to hold back his anxiety any longer.
Jarred’s chilling, low voice sliced through the heavy silence of the car: “Turn around. We’re going to the hospital p>
Declan quietly reminded him, “Boss, you have a board meeting this morning p>
“Do you need me to teach you how to write an absence request?” his voice was unmistakably laced with lethal irritation.
Declan didn’t dare say another word and immediately swung the wheel around.
Sienna was on duty at the hospital today.
She had just wrapped up a consultation and was walking out of the conference room when she noticed a commotion at the end of the hallway.
A group of nurses was huddled together, whispering furiously.
When they saw her approaching, their expressions shifted into something incredibly awkward.
“What’s going on?” Sienna asked.
One of the nurses hesitated, then handed over her phone. “Dr. Sloan, you should see this p>
Daisy has been posting pictures of all her new stuff again.
I heard she blew through nearly five million dollars of your… I mean, Mr. Sterling’s money today p>
Sienna took the phone and glanced at the screen.
It was a selfie of Daisy.
She was wearing an obviously exorbitant dress with a massive diamond necklace draped around her neck.
The bandage on her forehead was still intact, and a literal fortress of luxury shopping bags was stacked next to her.
[Staying exquisite even in the hospital. He says he loves seeing me smile p>
Sienna handed the phone back, her expression completely unchanged.
“As long as she’s happy,” she said. “She’s spending Jarred’s money, so it has nothing to do with me p>
Sienna turned, fully intending to head back to her office.
At the far end of the corridor, a tall, imposing figure strode into view.
Jarred was walking fast, his handsome face pulled taut, his jawline as sharp and merciless as a blade.
Sienna watched as he marched right past her, not even sparing her a single glance.
She stood her ground, watching until his figure disappeared down the hall.
He was heading straight for Daisy’s room.
The door was slightly ajar. Jarred didn’t bother knocking; he just pushed it open and walked right in.
A nurse was in the middle of hooking up an IV drip for Daisy.
Daisy was lounging on the bed, wearing that brand-new champagne-colored dress and draped in a silk blanket.
The diamond necklace sparkled against her skin, and several freshly unboxed luxury bags rested on her nightstand.
A newly delivered Ragdoll cat sat on the windowsill, lazily licking its paws.
The moment she saw Jarred walk in, Daisy’s eyes lit up, and a sugary-sweet smile bloomed across her face.
“Jarred, you’re here! Look at my p>
She didn’t get to finish her sentence.
Jarred’s piercing gaze locked onto the nurse. “Get out p>
The nurse had just finished setting the IV. The man’s aura was violently oppressive and hostile.
Not daring to linger for even a second, she scrambled out of the room.
Jarred’s strides didn’t slow down.
He stopped right beside the bed, looking down at the still-excited girl.
Standing tall, his expression was encased in layers of absolute frost.
The crushing drop in air pressure instantly froze the sickeningly lavish atmosphere of the room.
Before Daisy could utter another word, Jarred’s icy voice lashed out without a shred of mercy. Are you done playing p>
Daisy’s smile froze stiffly on her face.
“Jarred… what’s wrong p>
Jarred pulled his phone out of his pocket, unlocked it, and pulled up the credit card statement page. Flipping the screen around, he shoved it right in front of her face.
“Explain this to me. Right now p>
Daisy’s heart skipped a beat as her survival instincts screamed that something was terribly wrong.
But years of self-delusion made her cling to a naive shred of hope.
She quickly tried to sit up, putting on her most innocent, fragile act. “Jarred. I was just so bored I recovering in bed, so just bought a little something p>
