Chapter 269 1 Thought She Had Some Backbone

“Mr. Harris. I get it, alright? I messed up big time. I didn’t do this on purpose! I fell for my sister’s prank. I was being stupid and took it way too seriously!”

Sierra choked up, knowing full well that the guy in front of her was not Master Cameron and that he would not go easy on her.

Moreover, she did not have Olivia and Ronald to bail her out.

However, Nathael was not interested in hearing her excuses. He glanced at his watch, his tone icy. “You’ve got thirty seconds,”

Sierra’s heart skipped a beat, the pain from the slap still throbbing in her checks, cars, and everywhere

clse.

She never imagined her much–anticipated visit would crash and burn like this.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Despite being naive and spiteful, Sierra was not dumb.

She knew she could not harm herself, and if Nathael was not satisfied with her actions, it would all be for nothing.

Plus, with her reputation in tatters and so many eyes on her today, humiliating herself again would be

unbearable.

But maybe… Maggie!

If Maggie spoke up for her, perhaps Nathael would let her off the hook.

Sierra’s eyes welled up with tears as she frantically fumbled for her phone, gasping. “My sister! I need to call my sister! She loves me the most, she’ll understand!”

Nathael observed her silently and wondered if Maggie was already asleep.

Does she also feel as horrible as me?

Sierra desperately searched for Maggie’s number, but Maggie, along with Mia and Joyce, was too drunk to hear the phone ringing.

Moreover, given their past issues with Sierra, Maggie would not pick up even if she saw her call.

After three failed attempts, Sierra still could not reach Maggie.

Sierra had never felt so powerless. She was overwhelmed by shock and fear, unable to calm down.

Nathael’s patience wore thin, assuming Maggie would not show up tonight.

“Ethan, handle it,” Nathael muttered in a low voice, losing interest in the situation.
