The Lost Heiress 376

Chapter 376 Smoke and Mirrors

That night, when Sierra saw Jonathan, she noticed something was off about his mood.

She thought for a moment. “Is it about Quinn?”

“From now on, stay away from Quinn.” That was all Jonathan said.

He wasn’t sure if what Mateo had told him was really related to Quinn–even if she had been younger than ten at the time.

But if it was true, then Quinn was terrifying.

Especially since the last time Sierra nearly got hurt, she had been with Quinn, too.

Jonathan briefly told her what Mateo had discovered. He didn’t pass any judgment, but based on what he’d just said, Sierra had already figured part of it out.

Her heart was racing.

Could Quinn really be that ruthless? That calculating and capable even as a child?

She carefully thought back to the day she’d almost been in danger, determined not to overlook a single detail. Then suddenly, something came to her.

“That day, Quinn grabbed my hand. I remember thinking something felt off.”

At the time, the thought had just flashed through her mind, and she hadn’t dwelled on it.
