Chapter 406 Friends

When Xavier saw that Sierra was about to leave, he thought about asking her when she would return the money and houses she had scammed from their

father.

However, when he looked up, he met her eyes that seemed to have seen right through him, causing him to lower his head in shame.

"Mr. Gray, it seems like Mrs. Gray's father had just been hospitalized. He probably could not handle the shock of everything."
