Just moments ago,Dicksonwas onhighalert and didn’t feel it, but nowthathe relaxed, seeing all kinds of people made him instantly uncomfortable. He hurriedly wanted to return, but just then, he bumped into someone and grew even more
He quickly mutteredan“I’msorry” and turned to run, but the person caught him. “Hey,youlook so familiar.“
Hearingthat, Dickson instinctively retorted. “It’s not me, it’s not…
Those beasts had tilmedhimwhile torturing him, and he didn’t know if those videos had gotten out.
That was also why he’d beenafraidto come out these days, walking on the street, it felt like everyone was staring at hirm, as if he were naked.
Whenever someone glanced at him a bit longer, he felt they knew about the things he’d done, and he panicked completely.

struggled fiercely to getaway, but then he heard the person say,
“You look a lot like someonenamedDaphne.What’syour relationship with Daphine?*
Daphne My sister,
Dickson instinctively stopped struggling and couldn’t helpasking. “You know my sister?”
The person looked suddenly enlightened, “Daphne isyoursister? No wonder you look so much like her. I indeed know your sister; it’sapity what happened to her, dying so…”
The person cut off, realizing something, and quickly shut their mouth. Dickson had always felt there was something fishy about his sister’s death. Sierra said she would tell him when he got into college, but he was getting impatient now.
Hequicklygrabbed the person and demanded. “Do you know howmysister died?”
The person hurriedly shook their head, “No, no, I don’t know.”
“Please, tell me, how did my

Perhaps seeinghissincere demeanor,thepersonhesitated, then finallysaid, “Comewithme!”
Sierra had spent the whole day at the hospital with grandma,and she repealed to her what she’d told Dickson.
“No matter whocomeslooking for you, don’t payattention,andcall me immediately, okay, grandma?”
Lily, worried, gripped Sierra’shand, “Whatexactly is going on? Whohaveyouoffended?”
“Thatman’salunatic; I’m not surewhathe’ll do. Heusuallywon’t do anything directly to me; he’ll go after the people around
me instead.”
Her biggest worries were grandma and DicksonJonathan’sstatus andpositionmeant that if something happened to him, it would not go unnoticed.
Lily and Dickson were just ordinarypeople,andShanewould be more likely to target them.
“Alright, I know. Don’t come over these next few days; I have everything I need here.”
Lily hurriedlysaid, fearing for Sierra’s safety.
“Okay!”
Sierranodded, letting her know she understood.

Bradley, who hadn’t been around her for several days.
She walked past him without a glance, but Bradley quickly caught upandblocked her,
“Sierra, can we talk?”

Sierra looked at him coldly. She had made things clear before, and Bradley seemed to realize this, quickly pressing on,
“Denny’s in bad shape; she needs surgery, but she’s refusing tohaveit.”
Sierra gave him a strange look, waiting for him to continue. Bradley seemed to feel it was inappropriate to say this; he couldn’t meet Sierra’s eyes and shifted his gaze away, murmuring,
“She said if you forgive her, she’ll agree to the surgery
For a moment, Sierrathoughtshe was hearing things. How could someone say something so absurd?
But coming from the Xander family, it somehow didn’t seem so outrageous.
She had already seen Denise’s shamelessness and manipulations, and she was well aware of the Xander family’s favoritism, so she just sneered sarcastically and then said coldly, “Getlost!”
Every encounter with the Xander family worsened her mood. It seemed she had been too lenient before; merely causing a public relations crisis for Xander Pharmaceuticals really wasn’t enough. Perhaps only by truly crushing the Xander family would they stop bothering her.
“It’s all because you forced me.”
Sierrasaid slowly.
Bradley didn’t understand the significance of Sierra’swords, and he didn’t know what he had missed. He barely had time to think, only saying,
“I know Denny wronged you! But her condition is really dangerous now. If she doesn’t have surgery soon, she’ll die.”
