Five Years Up I Reveal I'm The Richest He Kneels And Begs novel Chapter 16

Everyone turned toward Celeste, their eyes filled with disgust and contempt.

“Oh my God, how vile!”

“She staged everything herself!”

“What kind of woman does that? The Prescotts must’ve been blind!”

Adrian stared at the screen in shock, then whipped his head toward Celeste, who stood frozen in

panic.

In that instant, he finally realized how terribly wrong he’d been. He had been played in the palm of

her hand–and had destroyed Sienna because of it.

Regret and fury tore through him until he could barely stand.

Sienna watched from the stage, her tone calm yet cutting.

“Miss Harrington, your so–called loyalty and devotion–I don’t need them. And your elite manners, I’ve seen enough. You’re not welcome here. Please leave.”

Security immediately stepped forward and dragged Celeste out, ignoring her screams and

thrashing.

Her flawless façade shattered completely–her reputation and dignity gone in an instant.

After a brief commotion, the ballroom returned to order. Yet this time, every guest who looked at

Sienna did so with newfound awe.

The selection resumed.

After several rounds, three exceptional candidates remained–men with wealth, charm, and

influence.

The host turned to Sienna, giving her the final choice.

Everyone held their breath.

Adrian’s fists clenched until his nails drew blood. He didn’t feel the pain–only the terror of

hearing another man’s name from her lips.

Just as Sienna lifted the microphone to speak, a voice roared, “Wait!”

Adrian shoved through the crowd, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse with madness.

“Sienna! You can’t choose them! You belong to me!”

He scanned the hall, his gaze wild.

“I’m warning you all of you! I planted a bomb here! If you dare say any name other than mine, I’ll set it off! Everyone–me, you–we all die together! You’re mine, do you hear me?!”

The room went silent. No one moved. Faces turned pale, terrified by the madness before them.

Sienna looked at him, her expression still calm, though beneath that calm was a chilling emptiness–and faint exhaustion.

She said nothing, only studied him for a few seconds, then lowered the microphone and whispered to her assistant.

Surrounded by her guards, she turned and walked out without another glance.

The glittering matchmaking gala ended once more in chaos.

The next morning, the business world shook.

Sloane Group issued an official statement: all partnerships with Prescott Enterprises and its affiliates were terminated, effective immediately.

The reason was brief and formal-“Strategic and ethical realignment.”

Within hours, Prescott’s stock price plummeted. Billions vanished in market value.

Major projects stalled without Sloane’s backing, and their cash flow tightened to the brink of collapse.

Panic spread through the Prescott family.

Mr. and Mrs. Prescott nearly fainted when they received the news.

They knew better than anyone what losing Sloane Group meant–crippling losses, possibly ruin.

Swallowing their pride, they rushed overnight to the private recovery estate where Sienna was staying, begging for an audience.

After several layers of clearance, they were finally brought into a cold reception room.

Sienna sat at the head of the table, her face expressionless, idly twirling a silver pen in her hand.

Mrs. Prescott fell to her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Miss Sloane! Please, have mercy! It was all our fault! We were blind, we wronged you! Punish us

if you must, but please, spare the Prescott family!”

Mr. Prescott’s authority was gone, too. His back was bent, his voice trembling.

“We’ve already dealt with Celeste–the troublemaker. She and the children… we’ve cut all ties.

Please, Miss Sloane, reconsider. Give our family one more chance.”
