Chapter 495
He would absolutely never allow himself to look cheap and despicable in her eyes, not even for the right to try.
Watching his stubborn compromise, Sienna discreetly curled the corners of her lips.
“As for your first condition, I can agree to it, but… strictly for official matters regarding Owen’s condition.
Any personal entertainment or irrelevant summons, I have the right to refuse. You cannot use this to make things difficult for me, much less use it as an excuse to harass me p>
Jarred’s eyes turned dark. He knew this was her strategy, but he had no way to argue.
After a long moment, he squeezed a single syllable from his throat with a cold face. “Fine p>
Sienna let out a soft scoff, ruthlessly tearing down his facade. “Also, Professor Klein is your connection. Originally, you handling him alone would have been enough.
You insisting I accompany you is nothing more than an attempt to use Owen’s name to satisfy your own dirty little ulterior motives p>
Having his intentions completely dissected, a dark shadow flitted across Jarred’s eyes.
He admitted it—he wanted her close, and he was afraid.
Who asked this woman to be so outstanding? So many men were already eyeing her like predators.
“I’ll cooperate and show up, honoring your condition p>
Sienna’s tone shifted abruptly. “But there must always be a third party present p>
With a single sentence, she completely shattered all of Jarred’s hidden, selfish motives.
The opportunity he had schemed so hard to create was casually tossed aside in just a few words.
Jarred’s chest tightened. He was furious and agitated.
He stared at the woman in front of him, who effortlessly deflected his moves and had him completely figured out.
She was clearly under his control, clearly forced to compromise and stay by his side.
Yet from start to finish, she remained clear-headed, independent, and in total command of the situation.
Jarred suppressed the turbulent emotions in his chest, a layer of resignation settling over his features.
That momentary softening of his expression was entirely captured by Sienna sitting across from him.
She smiled in satisfaction. “It seems Captain Sterling has nothing else to say in that case, be taking my leave. Thanks for dinner p>
With that, Sienna picked up her designer bag, turned gracefully, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Jarred’s amused voice came from behind her. “I don’t know if you’ve heard.
In two days, there’s going to be a top-tier industry medical summit in Paris.
Since Klein is one of the hosts, I think he’d be very interested in Owen’s case. I suppose this counts as an official invitation p>
Hearing his words, Sienna paused her steps.
She frowned and turned around. “You’re going to this summit too p>
Jarred was too focused on the surprise on her face to catch the true meaning behind her words.
He smirked, a hint of superiority in his eyes. “Now you have the privilege to go as well. Accompanying me as my date is your exclusive perk take you out to expand your horizons p>
Jarred knew all too well the weight this event carried.
Even for Sienna, who had made a name for herself in the international psychiatric community at such a young age.
She had won several prestigious awards and her academic papers had topped international journals multiple times.
She was considered a top figure among the new generation in the industry.
But she still wasn’t qualified to receive an official invitation to this summit.
Faced with a global medical event of this magnitude, Sienna would naturally be eager to attend and Would itely owe him a massive – favor.
But Sienna remained completely indifferent. In fact, an undisguised sneer spread across her stunning face.
“I don’t need you to take me. I was already planning to go to this summit anyway p>
Jarred looked at her with unwavering certainty. “How are you supposed to get in without me p>
But Sienna couldn’t even be bothered to entertain him. She turned on her heel and walked away without looking back.
Jarred stared at her proud, retreating figure, his brows knitting tightly together.
This woman… she had really been spoiled by him to the point of absolute defiance!
