The lost heiress never forgiven

Chapter 363 No Way to Back Down

“You’re worried I’ll get dragged into this too?” Sierra asked.

“…Yes.”

Johnathan nodded. If he hadn’t been worried about Sierra, he wouldn’t have laid everything out like this.

“Sierra, you’re another me. Your talent in this field is something many people envy.”

He also knew Sierra’s nature – she was kind.

If her research was ever used for something terrible, she wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Sierra pressed her lips together and stayed silent for a while.

She understood. But there was no way she could explain this to anyone else. She couldn’t convince Professor Martin and the others.
