Chapter 585
Capital Hospital.
Sienna was in the middle of analyzing pathology reports when her subordinate knocked and entered.
“Ms. Sloan, Mrs. Sterling is already on her way to the hospital.
She’s brought a massive entourage. It doesn’t look like she’s going to let this go quietly p>
Sienna didn’t even pause her pen, a contemptuous smirk curving the corner of her lips.
“Understood. You can leave p>
Inside the speeding Mercedes, Helena’s face was exceptionally grim.
She had made up her mind to cause a massive, public scene, aiming to humiliate Sienna until she was forced to cave.
She was determined to reclaim her rightful trust authority no matter what.
But despite all her calculations, she was still one step behind Sienna.
The moment Sienna hung up that first phone call, she had preempted every single one of Helena’s next moves.
It just so happened to be the hospital’s monthly Charity Clinic Day.
Capitalizing on the event, Sienna launched a massive, fully public online and in-person medical consultation drive.
The plaza outside the hospital was absolutely packed with people.
Rows of consultation booths were neatly arranged, and citizens seeking medical advice completely flooded the area.
Several major media outlets and civic journalists were on the scene.
Cameras with massive lenses tracked the action continuously, and high-definition livestream drones hovered above the plaza.
The entire hospital courtyard was packed tight, a spectacularly grand event.
As the black luxury car pulled smoothly to the curb, Helena looked out the window. Taking in the overwhelming, heavily publicized scene, she froze instantly.
Seeing the chaos, the bodyguard asked nervously, “Mrs. Sterling, are we still going in p>
Sitting beside Helena, Celeste took in the massive, bustling crowd ahead, a fleeting trace of deep frustration darkening her pale face.
She had guessed Sienna would fight back, but she never expected her to use the media as a shield to brilliantly block their attack!
Before Helena could speak, Celeste immediately intervened. “No, Helena. Our car is entirely too conspicuous.
If we go over there, we will absolutely be recognized. We won’t be able to escape the cameras p>
Panic gripped Helena. Snapping back to reality, she quickly ordered her men, “Find a quiet corner and pull over p>
The news of her buying fake jewelry was already the talk of the town.
She had become the absolute laughingstock of the Capital’s elite circles, drowning in endless gossip.
If she took her bodyguards to start a brawl right now and it was captured on high-definition cameras p>
Not only would she cement her status as a total joke, but she would thoroughly drag the Sterling family’s reputation through the mud.
Her vanity instantly crushed whatever arrogant fury she had left.
Her face turned a sickly pale green. Seething with resentment yet terrified to move forward, she whispered an order to her driver.
“Take a detour. Sneak in through the hospital’s back entrance to avoid the media cameras p>
“Yes, ma’am p>
The driver immediately turned the wheel, navigating toward the rear gates.
A few moments later, he slammed on the brakes. “Mrs. Sterling, a massive water main burst on the road ahead. The entire area is heavily flooded and under emergency repair.
All the back alleyways are completely sealed off. We can’t get through at all p>
Helena’s car was forced to reverse.
She could do nothing but stare at the hospital gates just inches away, completely unable to take a single step inside.
Her chest felt like it would explode with unvented rage. She was so frantic she was practically losing her mind.
“Sienna, that vicious bitch! She is the bane of my existence! An absolute curse! Why won’t she just drop dead p>
Helena couldn’t afford to lose any more face, but she was even more terrified of missing her only window to buy back the sapphire necklace.
If that necklace was sold off to another buyer by the overseas dealer, she would be completely ruined.
Helena sat in the car, squirming with anxiety, thoroughly defeated.
Normally, Celeste would have been murmuring gentle comforts by now.
But right now, her own brows were tightly furrowed. Her fingertips were rigid with tension, her mind entirely detached from Helena’s meltdown.
She stared into the distance at the massive spectacle unfolding in the plaza, a flash of genuine apprehension crossing her eyes.
She had planned for every variable, but she never imagined Sienna’s mind was this calculating, her predictive abilities this terrifying.
