Chapter 717

Seeing the flicker of surprise on Sky's face, Sierra gave a faint smile and nodded. "Yes."

"Mr. Walker, you've always cared deeply for your sister. Maybe not everyone believes in you, but I do."

Sky looked up at her. Sierra's smile was sincere as she raised her glass slightly toward him.

"We knew each other as kids. We didn't meet often, but we were still friends in a way. Now, we've become distant strangers. I guess that's just how fate works.

"But I believe that from now on, we can slowly become closer again. From regular acquaintances to true friends. Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Walker?"

Sky still wasn't sure why Sierra had reached out to him. He gave a polite, vague smile without answering her directly. Instead, he raised his glass and gently clinked it with hers.

"Ms. Remington, you're a lady. It's better if you don't drink too much."

Sierra had ordered a bottle of wine. After the waiter poured their glasses, he quietly stepped away.

Sierra let out a soft laugh. She swirled the wine in her glass gently, her eyes growing distant. A subtle bitterness crept into her expression.

"Mr. Walker, my husband is Samuel Sinclair. I'm sure you know him. When we were living overseas, things weren't perfect, but I can't say I ever suffered.

"After coming back to the country, our life was at least as comfortable if not more so. But somehow, our relationship just kept getting worse."

"Ms. Remington," Sky interrupted, setting down his glass. "If you've called me here, feel free to speak plainly."

He no longer smoked or drank. As someone still under probationary supervision after his release, he couldn't afford to slip up. Drinking and smoking were risks he didn't take.
