# Finished
Bradley had just returned from the police station, where he learned that Sean couldn’t be bailed out yet.
And with Denise in her current condition, he couldn’t help but regret. He should have stopped Sean when he first suggestedteachingJonathan a lesson.
If hehadintervened, none of this would have happened. But it was too late forregretsnow,
He had called Jonathan many times, but no one answered, and eventually, the calls wouldn’t even go through.
The same went for Sierra! Left with no other choice, Bradley and Evan had to resort to ambushing her at school.
They didn’t manage to see Jonathan, whowasstill on medical leave,butthey did run intoSierra.
Finally getting the chance to talk to her, the brothers weren’t about to let it slip. They cornered Sierra at the school gate.
Evan was a teacher at the school, and Bradley often came to pick up Denise. Sierra was famous at Northwind University.Thetrio blocking the entrance quickly became the talk of the school’s internal network.
Bradley and Evan knew this wasn’t theplacefor a discussionandquickly said, “Comewith us!”
Sierra didn’t even give them a glance. With so many onlookers, they couldn’t just drag her away, so they lowered their voices, “We need to seeJonathan. Could youtalkto him for us?”
The matter was neither big nor small, but if Jonathan didn’t pursue it,Seancould be out of jail soon.
That was why they needed to find Jonathan.
Hearing their request, Sierra finally acknowledged them, “Why should Italkto Jonathan? To ask him to let Sean off the hook? If that’s the case, talking to him won’t help you.”
Atthis point, Sierra chuckled, “Because I’m the one who didthis!”
“What?”
Bradley and Evan stared at her incredulously. Bradley couldn’t help but say, “Sierra, have you lost your mind? That’s Sean!Youactually gothimthrown injail!”
Sierralooked at Bradley with irony, “What about it? Didn’t you personally send my sister to jail back in the day?”
“Compared to you, I’ve been merciful! Afterall, he’s just in detention right now. And he deserves to be there!”
Her words left them speechless.
Aftera long pause, Evan said, “Nobody wanted what happenedbackthen; we had no choice.
“You had no choice? Denise’s life matters, but minedoesn’t? She killed someone, and you wanted me to take the fall. When I refused,youused our grandmother as leverage toforcemy compliance, even promising to take care of her, which only left her unable tostandever again. And to ensure I wouldn’t turn on you, you erased everything from back then. Are you kidding
me?”
Every word from Sierrawaslikeaslap in their faces.
Bradley instinctively defended, “Erasingthose recordswasn’tabout guarding against you, but topreventothers from findingleverage.”
Sierra scoffed, “Really, Mr. Bradley? Do you believe that?”
This time, Bradley didn’t respond. He had handled the matter himself and didn’tknowwhy he had done itthatway.
He always acted cautiously, not wanting any complications,so he had destroyed all evidence from that time.

Seeing them lost for words, Sierra laughed again, “If you’re so capable, then find a way to getSeanout. After all, if you can call a deer a horse, this should be nothing for you.”
Getting Sean out wouldn’t have been a big deal for the Xander familyinthe past, but their influence in Maviston had waned after several setbacks in recent months.
Moreover, with Sean’s situation so public, nobody wanted to risk helping out, fearing they might get dragged into thescandal.
Even with their father personally intervening, it still took nearly ten days for Sean to be released from detention.
Bradley and Evan were there to pick him up, hardly believing their eyes when they saw him. The man before them was disheveled and lifeless, a stark contrast to their once vibrant brother.
What was most frustrating was that despite their precautions, the paparazzi still caught a whiff of the situation.
