The Lost Heiress 325

Chapter 325 The Bitter Taste of Distance

Sierra seemed to snap out of her thoughts when she heard Autumn’s voice. She responded calmly, “That’s Mr. Yaeger’s sister.”

Autumn let out a sigh of relief. “I knew it–Mr. Yaeger wouldn’t do something like that.”

Sierra gave her a small smile, said goodbye, and went off to change before leaving.

Once she stepped out of the lab building, she finally pulled out her phone. The post had already shot to the top of the forum -she saw it right away.

Whether it was the camera angle or something else, Johnathan’s expression in those photos looked especially gentle.

Even though she knew he and Quinn were just siblings, seeing him with Quinn and Dora together gave off the unmistakable image of a family–like a mother, father, and child.

When he saw Sierra, he looked a bit surprised.
