When the Flame of Love Fades

Chapter 15 Genius

Just as she expected, Shane’s next words confirmed her suspicion.

“The prison called me. A few of your old cellmates ran into some trouble.”

“One broke her hand. Another had her leg tendons cut. The rest… well, they all got hurt, more or less. All of them, your–hm, roommates.”

Sierra’s face immediately darkened.

She had a feeling this wasn’t the end of it.

Sure enough, Shane continued, “Oh, and apparently, someone’s looking into how there were snakes and bugs in the prison.”

“Why go through all that effort? Should I just tell them directly?”

Sierra clenched her jaw, forcing her voice to remain steady. “Whatever you decide to do is your choice.”

Shane studied her for a few seconds, as if trying to gauge whether she was telling the truth.

Then, he let out a bored sigh and waved a hand dismissively. “I’ll let you know what your payment is later.”

That was it.

Sierra hesitated for a second before nodding and turning to leave.

The research facility was in the outskirts of the city, far from any main roads. Taxis didn’t come out this way.

She walked the entire way back.

She needed the time to think.

She had a good guess about what happened today.

She didn’t feel grateful.

Just disgusted.

By the time she reached the Xander estate, the sun had already set. Her phone had rung nonstop during the walk, but she hadn’t answered once.

Surprisingly, the entire Xander family was home.

The moment she stepped inside, everyone visibly relaxed.

Sean was the first to explode.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Why weren’t you answering your phone? Do you know how

were?”

Sierra glanced at him mockingly.

Sean saw her expression and immediately felt his anger flare again.

He was about to say something but forced himself to calm down. After what they learned today, he couldn’t just lash out like before.

“Whatever. Just don’t ignore calls next time,” he muttered. Then, as if trying to make up for his tone, he added, “I bought you some dresses. Go take a look. Girls shouldn’t wear pants all the time.”

Evan spoke next. “You didn’t go to class today. You didn’t even file a leave request. What happened?”

Noticing how harsh his words sounded, he softened his tone.

“I’ll let it slide this time, but you need to notify someone if something comes up. I already spoke to the department. From now on, all your courses are switched to mine.”

Bradley added, “Yeah, from now on, Evan’s got your back. No one at school will dare mess with you anymore.”
