The lost heiress never forgiven

Chapter 534 Web of Lies

Jonathan didn’t respond. He quietly finished the meal Stone brought him before finally asking, “How Sierra?”

“I saw her a few days ago. She’s staying calm,” Stone replied. Then, looking at him, he added, “I’m stuck in here with you now. You better remember to make it worth my while.”

Jonathan gave him a kick. The two exchanged a smile but said nothing more.

Back outside, Mateo and Draven had stopped by to see Sierra. When they heard that Stone was now taking care of Jonathan, they felt much more at case.
