Chapter 487
“He didn’t use typical corporate suppression tactics. He leveraged his law enforcement connections and official authority the entire time p>
Sienna tightened her grip on the phone.
Others feared Jarred for his wealthy family background and financial power.
But both Thea and Sienna knew that Jarred’s true threat never came from money.
It came from his position as Captain of the Special Ops, his unparalleled authority within the system, and his ironclad network of connections.
It wasn’t just him; the entire Sterling family relied on his power.
The fact that the three Sterling grandsons each excelled in different fields was no coincidence.
It was all meticulously orchestrated by their grandfather.
That was exactly why he had agreed to divorce her—to clear his name and salvage his reputation.
Sienna saw right through him, and she saw right through the Sterlings.
Thea’s voice continued, “He halted all partnership filings and froze the official certification channels for the involved agencies.
The public officials we were working with have all pulled their funding and suspended collaboration.
Right now, every single media outlet that was helping us is paralyzed, and no one dares to touch our loose ends p>
If any ordinary person were hit with this level of suppression, they would have completely collapsed with no way out.
But Sienna simply leaned back in her seat, her eyelids slightly lowered, her expression flawlessly calm, even carrying a hint of detached understanding.
She had predicted all of this.
From the moment she decided to scheme her way into a divorce, she had prepared to weather every ounce of his retaliation.
“Don’t panic,” Sienna’s voice was cool and steady.
“Initiate Plan A. Compile a list of all the agencies that have been suspended.
I’ve already secured alternative partners in advance.
If he freezes their local certifications, we’ll outsource everything out of state.
If he blocks provincial approvals, we’ll file through the national registry.
Also, notify the fund managers. under my name to immediately inject more capital into the suppressed agencies. We need to stabilize their foundations p>
She had the money, the resources, the top-tier connections, and unmatched foresight.
If Jarred tried to block her path, she would personally pave a wider road.
Thea’s anxiety instantly vanished, and she sighed with genuine admiration. I knew you had backup plans. You never intended to just sit back and take his hits p>
Since she had dared to openly plot against Jarred, she had absolutely no intention of losing to him.
Sienna chuckled softly, her tone brimming with confidence. “I prefer to plan for a rainy day. It’s the perfect counter for his ruthless tactics.
I’m heading to the law firm now. Call Luna Lennox so we can meet up and analyze his next move p>
“Got it. Calling her now p>
The call disconnected, plunging the car back into silence.
Outside the window, traffic flowed endlessly, and the bustling city streets blurred past.
Sienna raised her hand, lightly tracing the edges of the divorce. certificate in her palm, a flicker of deep thought finally flashing across her eyes
Jarred’s retaliation this time was far too simple—so simple that it didn’t feel like his style at all.
With his decisive, fatal-strike investigative mindset, he would never make such a huge fuss just to target some irrelevant, peripheral agencies.
These helpers were nothing but inconsequential external support to her. Losing them wouldn’t hurt her in the slightest.
Jarred was far too smart; there was no way he didn’t realize that.
He was doing it on purpose.
He was deliberately using the most standard retaliation tactics, allowing her to neutralize them with ease.
He wanted everyone to think that his next step would be to escalate his attacks on her career, network, and social circles.
He was trying to confuse her, draining her defenses while waiting for her to expose her one fatal flaw.
He definitely had another trick up his sleeve, but… what was it?
A faint, creeping sense of unease suddenly gripped Sienna’s heart.
