Chapter 359 A Shocking Revelation.

Ralph was momentarily stunned. Master Pierce had been his benefactor, saving him from a difficult situation without expecting anything in return.

Thus, when Master Pierce requested that Ralph take care of his granddaughter, Sierra, Ralph agreed without hesitation, particularly as Master Pierce had generously rewarded him for his help.

Having agreed, Ralph took the responsibility seriously. He thoroughly reviewed the detailed information about Sierra that Master Pierce provided.

He learned that from a young age, Sierra was committed to her piano practice, had won numerous awards, and had recently gained popularity through her online performances. Master Pierce had made sure Ralph was well–informed, leaving no detail unaddressed.

“What are you implying?” Ralph asked, his voice edged with coolness.

Maggie suggested with a smile, “Perhaps you should ask Sierra herself, Mr. Johnson. Are those performances really hers?”

The camera quickly panned to Sierra.

Sierra’s cheeks colored. While she had previously acknowledged the performances, it had not been in such a public forum.

Now, those videos had brought her a significant following.

Denying them at this point would certainly provoke a public outcry.

However, Maggie’s question seemed to hint at something deeper. Had she detected something amiss?

Sierra felt increasingly nervous, her hold on the microphone tightening. Standing on the stage, the intense. scrutiny of the audience made her feel both exposed and anxious.

“Y–yes, that was me,” Sierra responded hesitantly, striving to maintain her composure.

However, she was plagued by a nagging unease, unsure of its source but feeling it was somehow linked to Maggie.

After receiving Sierra’s confirmation, Ralph turned back to Maggie and asked, “Do you have anything further to add, Maggie?”

“Actually, I do. I have a few additional versions of the video,” Maggie replied. “Could the host please play them?”
