The Lost Heiress 11

Chapter 11 What Happened

Finished

After sending off the Xander siblings, Jonathan thought for a moment before dialing Sierra’s number.

The call didn’t go through.

He raised an eyebrow.

Blocked?

Not surprising.

Earlier, Bradley had briefly explained Sierra’s connection to the Xander family–though most of it had been complaints about her bad attitude, saying she was spoiled.

Jonathan found it ridiculous.

Neither Bradley nor Evan had spoken about her with the slightest bit of respect or affection.

They hadn’t even bothered asking why she needed a lab. They had just assumed she was being difficult.

And this was what they called spoiling her?

Still, it was a family matter, and he had no reason to get involved.

That should have been the end of it.

Helping Sierra had been a simple act of goodwill. If she didn’t want it, he wouldn’t push.

But for some reason, Jonathan couldn’t forget the way she had looked at him before leaving.

Understanding.

Disappointment.

And a finality, like she was giving up on something.

In the end, Jonathan made another call.

“Mr. Wagner, I need a favor.”

After arranging everything, he sent Sierra a private message on the forum.

“I found you another lab. If you still need it, contact me.”

There was no response.

Jonathan sighed but wasn’t surprised.

She was a stubborn girl.

Meanwhile, Sierra arrived at her destination.

She stood in front of the villa, her expression unreadable.

She hesitated for a long time before finally stepping forward.

As if expecting her, the door unlocked with a soft click.

Her heart clenched.

She took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.

The first thing she saw was the man lounging on the sofa in a black robe.

Her pulse pounded–not from attraction, but from sheer terror.

She was afraid of this man.
