The Lost Heiress 49

Chapter 49 Fever and Distance

In class, Sierra had always been like a biohazard–wherever she sat, no one dared to be near her.

But today, unexpectedly, a girl sat down beside her not long after she arrived.

Sierra glanced at her but didn’t pay her any mind. She closed her eyes, trying to ease her headache.

“Hey, so you’re actually the real daughter of the Xander family? That means Mr. Xander is actually your biological brother?”

Sierra was surprised. How had this news spread to school?

Then she remembered at the birthday banquet, Denise had invited some of her friends from school.

She didn’t answer. Being a Xander had never been something she took pride in

But even with no response, the girl kept talking. “We all thought Senior Denise was the real daughter. Her brothers dote on her so much! I even heard that Sean used to visit her at school. Who would’ve thought she was the fake?”

“But.. they don’t seem to like you at all. Is it because you went to prison? I heard they threw you a huge birthday banquet. Does that mean they’ve forgiven you? Well, I guess they would… you are their real sister, after all.”

The girl’s endless chatter grated on Sierra’s nerves. She opened her eyes and said coldly, “Can you shut up?

The girl flinched in shock. “Oh–okay, okay!”

She hurriedly grabbed her books and left. As she walked away, Sierra heard her muttering,

“What’s her problem? Ugh.”

“No wonder no one likes her. With that attitude, who could stand her? Senior Denise is so much better!”
