Entangled in the Night: Unable to Escape Him-Chapter 65: If Only Sienna Were as Obedient as Dr. Nash
She nodded politely at Albie Kane: "Thank you, Mr. Kane. I need to discuss the case with Chloe Nash."
She handed a stack of files to Chloe.
"These are all the records on your father’s apprentice, Sean Sawyer. Over the past five years, he received a total of five million from Stella Sterling’s nanny’s bank card. So we suspect this matter is connected to the Sterling Family."
Upon hearing this, Chloe’s expression stiffened.
Claire Channing had already separated the real Chloe and Jett Sterling, so why was she still targeting Mr. Nash?
Could it be that she didn’t want Chloe and Jett to ever reconcile?
Looking at those documents, Chloe’s face darkened: "Back then, Mrs. Sterling threatened me with my father’s future to force me to break up with Jett. I thought that after I broke up, she’d let my dad go. Turns out, she still hasn’t."
She only learned about all this after reading Chloe’s diary.
At that time, Mr. Nash was working day and night designing that big bridge, hoping to leave a landmark structure before retiring.
And the project happened to be for the Sterling Family.
Mrs. Sterling threatened Chloe, telling her that if she didn’t end things, she’d find a reason to pin charges on her father.
Chloe didn’t want her father to suffer prison because of her, so she had no choice but to break up with Jett, heartbroken.
That relationship was, for Chloe, unforgettable—etched into her bones.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen such a dangerous place to escape the past.
But she had never imagined all along—that from the very beginning, everything was a lie.
Because of a relationship, not only did Chloe leave her life behind on the battlefield, but her father was also unjustly accused.
Claire Channing truly is vicious to the core.
Silas Prescott said: "Mrs. Sterling is only Jett’s stepmother. She has no reason to go so far for her stepson’s love life. I suspect there’s another agenda behind this."
"But she’s in a high position—we didn’t even know her before. What could she possibly want?"
"We need to take our time handling Mrs. Sterling. I think Sean Sawyer might take the fall for her, which isn’t such a bad thing. Your father could get released, and we can slowly investigate what comes next."
Silas spoke calmly, logically.
It made Chloe subconsciously accept his point of view.
Her father’s legs already suffered from rheumatism—staying long in prison would only make it worse.
Getting him out was the top priority.
Chloe nodded: "Alright, I’ll follow your advice."
At her words, Silas let out a soft laugh: "If Sienna were as obedient as Dr. Nash. She used to promise she’d always listen to me, and then she sneaked off to the battlefield to be a doctor anyway."
"She’s a little liar. If I catch her, Dr. Nash, tell me, how should I punish her?"
As Silas spoke, he took the file from Chloe’s hands.
His warm fingertips inadvertently brushed against Chloe’s pinky.
That line, and his casual gesture, made Chloe’s back stiffen, her breath catch in her throat.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that Silas was hinting at something, probing for a reaction.
Had he found some clue?
The possibility made Chloe’s heart beat even faster.
But she knew, no matter what Silas suspected, as long as she refused to admit it, he could never prove she was Sienna Paxton.
Chloe steadied herself, her gaze calm and unreadable as she looked at Silas.
"That’s between you and her. I’m just an outsider, so I shouldn’t advise you. But since I chose to let you help me, I trust you completely—I won’t act on my own."
When she called herself ’an outsider,’ Silas’s eyes were as black as a bottomless pool, swirling with danger.
As if the next moment he might consume everything.
Yet in an instant, that look vanished, replaced by a faint, deeply meaningful smile.
"If only my Sienna were as obedient as Dr. Nash."
