Chapter 593
The henchman’s voice continued, laced with obvious hesitation.
“Mrs. Sterling, this is the lakeside road. There are pedestrians passing by at any given moment. With three people in the car, we can’t clean this up quickly. It’s too easy to get exposed p>
Helena’s tone was ruthless. “Then force her to sign! Start a video call and put me on with her p>
The man immediately did as he was told.
“Sienna! I’m warning you, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll sign over those rights immediately!
If you don’t hand over the Trustee Management Rights today, you won’t be the only one dying.
Your brother receiving treatment abroad won’t survive either!
I have plenty of ways to destroy the both of you p>
Helena’s voice was freezing cold, the naked malice on her face completely undisguised.
At her command, the henchman immediately pulled out a dagger.
One arm locked around Sienna’s neck while the other pressed the blade to her throat.
A split second before the man reached out, the agile Alister had already risen to fight back.
Sienna gave him a single look, instantly making him stand down and fall back.
Helena’s henchman held the knife, forcing Sienna to sign.
The moment the signature was complete, Helena’s mockery drifted through the speaker.
“Why suffer all this when you could have just listened from the start? You really have to learn things the hard way p>
The thug grabbed the signed document and quickly retreated.
Almost the exact second he left, Sienna, who had just been weak and dying, naturally passed out again.
“Ms. Sloan p>
The video ended with Alister’s agonized shout.
On screen, Sienna looked incredibly fragile and pitiful.
She had been tossed aside by Helena’s men, and neither of her subordinates could stand up to help her.
The video finished playing, and the tablet screen went dark.
The tense silence in the hospital room lingered.
All the elders and lawyers stood frozen in place, their expressions filled with shock and absolute disbelief.
No one had expected the truth to look like this.
Jarred’s fingertips still rested against the edge of the tablet.
The thrilling, dangerous scenes that had just played out were clearly burned into his eyes.
But his fingers paused slightly, and a subtle layer of doubt quietly clouded his predatory gaze.
He lowered his eyelashes, his gaze lingering on the video’s replay button for half a second.
Even such an inconspicuous micro-expression didn’t escape Sienna’s notice.
She remained perfectly composed, tilting her face slightly so her eyes met Thea’s.
With just one look, they reached a silent understanding.
Jarred was meticulous and suspicious; he was definitely not someone they could easily fool.
Even if their plan seemed foolproof.
Since it was a man-made setup, no one could guarantee it was entirely flawless.
Sienna lowered her gaze, subtly shooting Thea a hidden look.
Right at that moment, Jarred lifted his long fingers, pressing his knuckle the scree against about to hit the replay button.
He intended to check the video details frame by frame from the beginning, wanting to find the source of hus unease
Thea reacted with lightning speed, her movements calm and sharp right in front of the man.
She smoothly pulled the tablet away from his hand and slipped it directly into her briefcase.
His fingertips suddenly met empty air, and Jarred’s movement halted mid-air.
He slowly pulled his hand back, his brow furrowing slightly.
His gaze turned somber, looking at Thea with a heavy dose of scrutiny.
Finally, he shifted his attention back to Sienna, who sat on the hospital bed with a cool expression.
A quiet, undercurrent of a psychological battle suddenly seeped into the silent room.
The probing layers in the man’s eyes silently sized up the two women who shared a secret understanding.
The quiet air was thick with tension.
Sienna pretended not to notice, her calm gaze sweeping over the crowd’s varying expressions as her voice rang out clear and steady
