The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 624 Women Always Look Out for Each Other.

Sierra reached up and covered her eyes with her hand, careful not to touch the

bandages on her cheek. But the tears still kept falling, soaking into the fabric until

it stung. The pain only made everything worse.

"Sierra, are you okay?" Sophia asked, her voice full of concern.

Hearing Sierra bring up their childhood made her think back too. They were two

little girls, curled up on her big bed, whispering secrets in the dark until they fell

asleep in each other's arms. Those were the moments that made her feel safe.

Sierra took a few deep breaths to calm herself before finally lowering her hands.

She forced a smile and looked at Sophia, saying, "I'm fine, so don't worry. Sophia,

I want to divorce Samuel. Even though I wasn't actually assaulted, in his eyes,

any girl who's been through something like that is beyond saving.

asked her parents to help us arrange a meeting with you and your mother. But her

parents politely turned us down."

Sierra continued, "I still didn't know why at the time. It wasn't until we got back to

the car that Samuel finally said something, and my dad became furious. He told

my mom they were leaving, and I didn't feel safe letting them go alone, so I got

out of the car with Samuel.

"Then, Samuel got a call and left me there. That call was to meet you and you
