Chapter 187 When the Mask Slips
It was hard to believe that the youngest professor, acclaimedasa genius in his field, had once been a mercenary.
Clearly, the word refined had nothing to do with Jonathan, how blind had I been before?
Seeing her look of regret, Jonathan cheerfully said. “It’sokay; my family doesn’t even know. Besides, your judgment has improved a lot since then; at least, I’m sure I’m not a scumbagwhocheats!”
Sierra, still inshock, couldn’t help but laugh at his comment:
In such an atmosphere, they arrived at the police station. They were interrogated separately. Although Sierrawasworried, she recounted the events truthfully without exaggeration.
There were surveillance cameras,and with the uproar on the internet, everyone knew what had started the conflict. Thus, as the victim, Sierrawasquickly finished.
“Officer, what about Yaron?”
“The man who interrogated me mentionedthatYaronis in the hospital. He’s dealing withmultiplefractures, including a
particularly severe comminuted fracture in the finger joints of his right hand.
Even if he recovered, he wouldn’t beasagile as before.
Sierra couldn’t read anything from the officer’s expression and after a pause asked, “Can I press charges against him? I want to accuse him of attempted murder.”
The officer nodded, “Of course! We would have done so regardless. He attacked withaknife; the severity of his actions warrants it. Once his condition stabilizes a bit,we’llbring him in for interrogation!”
“Thank you,” she said.
Sierra hesitated but decided not to inquire about Jonathan’s situation. She anxiously waited in the lobby, andsoonenough,Jonathancame out.
“How did itgo!”
Sierra quickly approached him
“It’s fine, everything’s clear now!”
Jonathan hadn’t lied to Sierra; there really was no issue. If he hadn’t acted, Sierra would have definitely been hurt. He just kicked once, but it was Yaron’s fragility that caused his ribs to break–whocouldhe blame for that?
As for the foot he stomped, it was because he ‘sawYaronreachingfor the knife again. Atthatmoment, he was facing away from the cameras, and no one could tell if Yaron really was going for the knife.
Sierra didn’t know these details and sighed lightly. “Let’s go, let’s go back and eat, Sierra said.
They had just finishedcookingwhen they had to come here. Astheytalkedand walked out, they didn’t expect to run into the police escorting Denise.
Deniseshouldhave been detained longago, but due to her health, it had been delayed until now. The hospital had just cleared her, and they were bringing her in, coincidentallyjustasSierra and Jonathan wereleaving.
Denise was in hospital attire, much thinner than before, exhausted, with unkempt hair–far from the heiress she oncewas.
Seeing Sierra andJonathan,shepaused, then her eyes filled with hatred.
“It’s all your fault! You made me like this; areyouhappy now? I should never have been soft–hearted; I should have paid to have you die injail”
At this point, Denise no longer hid her true nature, her once lovely face twisted withhate.
Shetrulydespised Sierra!

Chapter 187 When the Mask Slips
Finished
She had always been the daughter of the Nander family, but then Sierra came along and ruined everything. She wasn’t a noble at all, but the offspring of a gambler and a lowly woman.
da
en though the Xander family had taken her in, she lived i
constant fear of being cast out one day
So, she had always pushed Sierra away, and it worked–the Xanders all looked down on Sierra.
But she remained uneasy; blood was thicker than water. What if the Xanders felt guilty one day!
This wasn’t just her worry; over time, it was becoming a reality.
The Xanders were no longer as hostile towards Sierra as before, and she felt that if this continued, Sierra would take everything from her.
Moreover, Sierra’s grades were better than hers, which she couldn’t stand.
She had received a higher education, while Sierra had barely managed to attend school, yet Sierra scored nearly two hundred points higher than her onexams.
If it hadn’t been for the Xander family’s donations to Northwind University, she wouldn’t have been able to attend college at all, yet Sierra was the top student. Hone ironic?
