The Lost Heiress 355

Chapter 355 Shadows in the Woods.

Quinn thought it through carefully. She was almost certain Sierra must have overheard her late- night muttering and told Johnathan.

Still, Sierra likely hadn’t caught much. Otherwise, things wouldn’t be this quiet.

It was an image of the man leading Dora into a car.

“Don’t bother,” Mateo added. “The car’s using fake plates. And it vanished once it reached the outskirts–no more footage past that.”

Mateo shot him a startled glance but did as asked.
