Chapter 504
Helena immediately turned and grabbed Jarred’s sleeve.
“Jarred, do you realize the disaster Sienna is causing? She’s impersonating a master!
“Celeste is right. If she’s exposed, our whole family will be dragged down. Have someone pull her out of there p>
Jarred violently shook off her hand. “This is a critical moment in saving a life. Do not interrupt her p>
He stared at the slender figure on the large screen. The silver needles twirled effortlessly between her fingers, piercing the patient’s acupoints with lethal precision.
On the monitor, the patient’s brainwaves began to show faint, rhythmic fluctuations.
Helena stole a glance at Jarred’s conflicted expression, realizing her son was going to be soft-hearted and block her.
Deciding she couldn’t rely on him, she quietly slipped away to a corner, quickly dialing her security detail and issuing a low, frantic command.
“Storm the operating room right now and drag Sienna Sloan out! Hurry! Do not let her continue this farce p>
The bodyguards stationed outside received the order and sprinted toward the OR.
Bang! Bang! Bang—
A violent pounding shattered the quiet sterility of the operating room.
The assisting medical staff jumped in terror, freezing in their tracks.
Yet Sienna, deeply focused on her needlework, didn’t so much as blink. Her fingertips remained as steady as solid rock, without a millimeter of tremor.
She didn’t even look up as she reassured the room, “Don’t panic. Keep working p>
On the screen, her wrist hovered gracefully over the patient’s arm, the cloud patterns on the needles practically glowing under the surgical lights.
The audience in front of the screen noticed the commotion. Whispers erupted, and the atmosphere instantly grew tense and bizarre.
Out in the hallway, Helena led a group of bodyguards, marching forward aggressively.
They were seconds away from breaking down the door.
Celeste sat quietly in her wheelchair, her head bowed to hide the vicious gleam in her eyes, playing the part of a frail woman too weak to intervene.
In reality, she was eagerly waiting for Sienna’s procedure to fail and blow up in her face.
As long as the surgery was forcibly interrupted and the patient’s condition worsened, the blame would fall entirely on Sienna, damning her beyond redemption.
At that hair-raising, critical second, a cold, authoritative roar echoed from the end of the corridor.
“Stop p>
Jarred strode fiercely down the hall, his presence as sharp and lethal as a hurricane.
He seized Helena’s wrist with an icy, unyielding grip, his eyes swirling with a terrifying rage and coldness she had never seen before.
“Who gave you the right to cause a scene here p>
His gaze turned somber, heavily laced with hostility. “This surgery is a matter of life and death. One slight matter of mistake, and the patient dies Y.I
“And Sienna would have to shoulder all the medical malpractice and public backlash. Are you really so desperate to destroy her that you’d act this recklessly p>
Being scolded so publicly by her own son, Helena grew furious and frantic. She shouted back, “I’m saving you! Saving the Sterlings!
“So many industry titans couldn’t cure this terminal illness, so what makes you think an arrogant brat like her can?
“She’s just guessing, playing around, and scamming people! She thinks because you have her back, she can impersonate anyone she wants.
“The moment she kills that patient, the entire medical community will spit on the Sterlings.
“She will drag everyone down into her grave, and I will not let her ruin you p>
“Foolish.” Jarred’s gaze turned predatory, the bone-chilling coldness in his eyes leaving no room for leniency.
He raised a hand and ordered coldly, “Guards, escort my mother out and revoke all her access passes to this venue.
“Effective immediately, she is banned from stepping foot in here p>
“Yes, sir p>
His personal security detail stepped forward instantly, executing the command without hesitation.
Helena stared at her biological son in absolute shock, screaming in fury.
“Jarred, you are completely out of your mind! This woman came here just to take revenge on our family. Don’t let her brainwash you p>
But Jarred had already made up his mind. His face was a mask of ice, and he refused to spare her another glance.
In a matter of seconds, Helena was forcefully dragged away.
