The Lost Heiress 34

#Finished.

Chapter 34 A Suspicious Celebration

Sierra didn’t care where her household registration was listed, but something about this situation felt off

That morning, during breakfast, Franklin spoke up. “Prepare yourself. You’ve been back for a while now; it’s time to introduce you properly. Your birthday is next week. We’ll host a banquet”

If restoring her status in the family had already been unexpected, then this announcement was downright bizarre. Back when she first returned to the Xander family years ago, there had been no formal introduction.

Every year, only Denise’s birthday was celebrated; Sierra had always been treated as an afterthought. To outsiders, she was nothing more than an adopted daughter, while Denise was seen as the true heir.

And now, after spending three years in prison, Franklin was suddenly acknowledging her publicly. Not only that, but he wanted to throw her a grand birthday banquet. The whole thing reeked of something deeper.

Setting down her fork, Sierra cast a glance at Denise, whose expression had visibly stiffened. Slowly, she spoke, “Introduce me? And how do you plan to explain Ms. Denise’s status? Who exactly is the true Xander heiress, me, or her? When people jask, what answer will you give?”

The room fell into dead silence; the entire Xander family paled. Sean couldn’t hold back. “You’re both part of this family. What’s the issue?
