Chapter 113 A Gathering of Ghouls
“Suchpeople deserve a lesson.” Jonathan’s words resonated deeply with Sierra.
Since her release from prison, the attitudes of the Xander family had shifted slightly, they might have felt a hint of guilt, but it was so minimalthatat the first sign of trouble, they were quick to thinkaboutabandoningher and pushing her to the forefront.
With the plan set, Sierra wasn’t in a hurry anymore.
She went to the institute first to copy her research records from the recent period. These documents were undeniable, clearly showing the dates and content of her research. Then, sheorganizedher own drafts and some other related materials.
The weekend camequickly, and with it, the time Sierrahadagreed to meet with Kason. This time, Kason took Sierra to a party, which was essentially a gathering of wealthy heirs.
Sierra had become quite well–known in Maviston recently, and there was hardly anyone who didn’t know her name. As she entered with Kason, someone couldn’t help but whisper,
Can her frame withstand Mr. Kason’s anties?”
“Well, she isadaughter of the Xander family; Mr. Kason probably won’t go too far!”
“You don’t know; Mr. Kason likes the thrill. Iheardhe had another incident last week, had to calladoctor in the middle of the night. No idea what happened after that.”
AsKason and Sierra approached, the group fell silent. These were Kason’s fair–weather friends, and Kason’s intention in bringingSierrawas to introduce her to them.
Without a doubt, he and Sierra were headed towards engagement and marriage. From their interactions, it was clear Sierra suitedhistastes perfectly.
He even thought that in the future, he might not need to drug Sierra;she could be willing to explore various scenarios with him, and perhaps, she might even bring some newideasto the table.
With this thought,Kasonflashed a pleased smile.
In stark contrast tohisgood mood, Sierra felt unusually down.
She had hoped for some progress today, but instead, Kasonhadactually started making his moves on her.
How long will it take forme to find evidence of Kason’s crimes? Am I really going to have to marry him? She didn’t have the patience forthat, especially thinking about Dickson at home, whodarednot even leave the house, which only added to her agitation.
At that moment, Kason led her over to gr
greet someone.
“This is Mr. Yeager,agood friend of mine, and this is Sierra, the daughter of the Xanderfamily.”
Kason introduced SierratoBrendan.
Upon hearing Brendan’s name, Sierra looked up involuntarily andsawasomewhat tall, rugged–lookingmanwavingather,
“Long admired, Ms. Xander.
This is Brendan, the one who had bullied Dickson?
With resentment in her heart but adangerouslysweet smile on herface,Sierraresponded, “Mr. Brendan, what a pleasure.”
“Mr. Brendan owns theDynastyClub. I’ll take you there sometime for fun, though it’s not really my scene,” Kason whispered
in Sierra’s car.
Sierra glanced at the person next to Brendan, getting a sense of whatKasonmeant.

explained why they got along so well. The young man besideBrendanlooked frail, his eyes filled with fear and pain, clearly there against his will.
Sierra asked,“Andwho is this? Mr. Brendan, aren’t you going to introduce him?”
Brendan replied nonchalantly, “Just some minor entertainment, I can’t even remember all their names, so I won’t bother introducing him to Ms. Xander.”
Suddenly remembering something, Brendan showed a meaningful smile and said, “I had a fierce little puppy once, but then his family came and took him back. It’s been a long time since I’ve had suchatasty little puppy… the flavor was really something.
As Brendan reminisced, Sierra clenched her fists.
She knew who Brendan was talking about, and he was deliberately provoking her.
She was awarethatBrendan knew about her attempt to retrieve someone from the club that day.
Sierra suddenly turned cold, asking directly, “Who are you referring toasthat puppy?
Brendan
paused, taken aback by her question, and before he could respond, Sierra added,
“I’m very protective,andI don’t have much to lose.
“Just the other day, I happened to visit the Dynasty Club. I heard that’s your place, Mr. Brendan?”
As Brendan’s smile faltered, his inherently fierce face grew even more menacing, but Sierra’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.
