Chapter 317 Brewing Doubts

Sierra didn’t answer.

She already knew who Shane was implying–but she refused to believe it.

She couldn’t believe that Johnathan would ever do something like that.

And yet, Shane’s voice kept echoing in her ears.

“You think he’s clean? He’s no cleaner than anyone else.”

His tone was low–too low for Autumn to hear–but Sierra caught every word. Without hesitation, she grabbed the cup on the table and threw it straight at him.

Shane hadn’t expected her to act so suddenly. With his limited mobility, he had no way to dodge it. The sugary drink splashed all over his face, sticky sweetness clinging to his skin and clothes. The smell was sickening.

Before he could react, Sierra was already on her feet.

“Sir… are you all right?”

That seemed to jolt Shane back to life. His familiar, polished smile slid back into place.
