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.”

It wasn’t until after nine that night that Johnathan finally returned with Dora.

When he saw Sierra, he looked a bit surprised.
