Chapter 349 - Sienna The Avenger Of Justice

"What did you say?" Scarlette's eyes were wide as she stared at John.

"I said… they are charging you of murder. My lawyers are trying to find out the details but— "

A cold wave of dread washed over her. She didn't need to hear the rest of his words.

"I didn't kill anyone," she said. "I— Someone framed me!"

"Scar… calm down. Let's just wait for the lawyers to pose a bail. You know— "

"When is that?"

"I— " John's lips twitched.

"When are they going to take me out of here?"

"Scar, calm down. I am doing my best, alright?"

"It was Sienna," Scarlette said. "There's no way that she didn't do this!"

"You mean she planned all this?"

"Yes! That's the only way! She must have planned this in advance! That woman is crazy! She is rich and knows how to use her money! It should be her."

John shook his head.

"There is no way it was her. I don't think— Are you sure you haven't killed anyone before?"

"I— "

"Or maybe caused someone's death?"

"I am sure! Don't you trust me?"

John clenched his jaw. Then he smiled. "Do you blame me?"

"John… you… " Tears stung her eyes. "How could you say that?"

"I don't know Scar… should I really trust you?"

"What are you talking about?" Panic settled inside her gut. Did he know something?

"I know about it Scar."

"What?" What does he know? Seeing John get up, Scarlette started yelling. "Hey! What do you know?"

However, instead of giving her an answer John just shrugged and walked out of the visiting room.

"John! Don't you dare walk away from me! Hey! I am still talking to you!"

The door closed slowly. It only made her more desperate.

"John! What are you doing? John! Please— Hey— What about the bail?"

Sadly, John never said anything anymore.

Alone, she raked her fingers on her long black hair. She needed to get away from this place. However, murder isn't a small case. She needed a big amount of money.

She was actually reluctant to use all of her stash money abroad as she didn't want to create some paper trail. Moreover, she was going to use that money to create her own company abroad! Without it, she won't survive!

Especially now that the award was already given to Grant and Amanda!

She gritted her teeth as she thought of John's words.

What did he mean by he that? What exactly does he know?

And if he knows something… then what about Sienna?

"Hey!" she yelled. "Is anyone there!" Since John chose to abandon her then… she would also abandon him! John was a hacker and now a kidnapper. Sienna was still in his place!

"Hey!" she started banging the table where her handcuffs were attached. "Hey! I want to talk to someone!" She looked at the two-way mirror across her and assumed that someone was staring at her.

"Hey!" she repeated. "I have some important confession. Tell your boss to come here!"

"Hey! Can you hear me!?"

"F*cking cops."

"Hey! I said… call your boss and tell them that I am now willing to call my own lawyer!" earlier, she refused to call her lawyer because John assured her that he would handle everything.

But the sudden changes were unexpected.

She needed her own lawyer.

"Hey! I have rights! I know my rights! Let me call my lawyer!"

"Hey!"

"Can you hear me?"

Her throat started hurting. Again, she started banging on the table and let out a few strains of curses.

No.

She can't lose.

She needed to calm down!

Panicking like this won't get her anywhere!

First, she needed to get out of prison.

After she consoled herself, she once again called out to the police officers who arrested her.

When the door opened, a tinge of hope glinted in her eyes.

Sadly, it disappeared as quickly as it came when she saw the woman who walked inside.

Wearing all-black clothes, the woman's red lips lifted into a smirk. Then, she removed the huge glasses that covered most of her face.

"Hello… Scarlette. How have you been?" Of course, the woman was none other than Sienna.

Scarlette's face lost all its color. As her heart dropped.

On the other hand, Sienna elegantly sat across her. The same smile was still etched on her pretty face.

"John…" Scarlette murmured. She didn't need to ask this woman to know that John betrayed her, for Sienna. "You… did this."

"Did what?" Sienna lifted one of her beautiful eyebrows.

"You bribed John. So he would betray me."

"Bribe? Do I look like I need to bribe someone to convince them to switch sides?"

"You— "

"Darling… hush… hush… we don't really want the police to know the mess that you tried to do to me, right?"

Realization hit her. That's right. She couldn't talk about the kidnapping and risk letting the police record a confession. But why was she warning her?

Just what is this woman doing?

"John knew about the bank accounts and … if I am right… he is currently emptying them now."

"What did you say?"

"No need to panic. It's not like, he Is stealing from anyone." Sienna crossed her arms across her chest. "The money belonged to him and you borrowed it. Now, he is taking it back."

This time, hot tears started streaming down Scarlette's face. "That money…." Again, she couldn't say a word without implicating herself.

Was this the reason why this woman chose a f*cking police station to confront her? Scarlette felt her anger bursting inside her, threatening to erupt and destroy everything in her path.

No. Before doing anything, what she needed to do is kill this woman!

The woman before her!

Sienna Rouse!

"You ruined everything!"

"What?" Sienna snorted. "Ruined everything? What are you talking about?" She was looking at her as if she didn't know what she have done. "If you mean the program… it wasn't yours, to begin with. I just… took it back. If you mean the money… that's not yours either. So… instead of saying that I ruined everything I liked it if you call me... The avenger of justice.." Sienna said before giving her a condescending laugh.
