Chapter 189 When the Gavel Falls
Finished
At hist, the Xander family couldn’t believe it when they saw the evidence. But it was undeniable, laid out right in front of them, and they had to accept it.
They couldn’t understand why Denise, whom they had adored, had turned out this way. If it weren’t for her meddling, their relationship with Sierra wouldn’t have deteriorated so much.
People tend to shift blame, and the Xanderswereno exception. They placed all the blame on Denise, and Eleanor,unableto contain herself, slapped Denise across the face.
“It’s all your fault! I was blind to have ever doted on you like a preciouschild, you ungrateful wretch!â€
Denise was stunned by the slap! She couldn’t believethatEleanor, who had always pampered her, had hit her!
She looked at Evan and Sean, only to see disgust in their eyes.
After a moment of shock. Denise laughed bitterly and spat out, “Blaming me now? You’re the fools. You didn’t care for your pown preferring me, a stranger by blood! Who’s to blame for that? Your ownbias, your own stupidity, and yet you blame it all
“I’ll kill you?†Eleanor was furious,readyto lunge again butwasheld back by theguards.
Unable to reach her, she cursed nonstop, causing a commotion with Denise.
Sierra watched this scene from a distance and suddenly felt itwasallso meaningless.
Jonathan glanced at her and took her hand, leading her out of the courthouse.
Once outside, Sierra exhaledandsaid, “I always thought I wanted to see this, but nowthatit’sactuallyhappening, it feels pointless.
“That’s because they really are just strangers to you now,†Jonathan replied.
Sierra thought for a momentandnodded, “Yes.â€
Only those close to youcanstir your emotions, and she had long ceased to feel anything for the Xanders.
Whether angry or sad, she felt nothing anymore.
After this, she was done with the Xander fam
family.
She wouldn’t concern herself with what they endured in jail. If they managed well, good for them. She wasn’t cruel enough to wish them the hardship she had once suffered.
Jonathanthought Sierrawasstill too soft–hearted. If it were up to him, he’d ensure they paid tenfold
By now, Sierra knew Jonathan well enough to guess his thoughts by the darkening of his eyes.
Don’t bother with excesses; it’s unnecessary. Even if they suffered as I did, what would it change? I no longer need their guilt. and it means nothing to me. Plus, dwelling on it would annoy me,†she said resignedly.
Jonathan couldn’t help but look at her admiringly. Sierra’s feelings were always clear, without any dithering.
When she decided to let go, she did so completely, whether it was love or hate.
This was something many couldn’t manage. Letting go of love might be easy,but hate was much harder.
Yet she faced no such barriers,andhe knewthatif she ever fell out of love, letting go would be even easier for her.
Withthisin mind, he tightened his grip on her hand, interlocking their fingers firmly.
He wouldn’t give her a chance to let go of him.
Shortly after they left, Evan and Sean helped Eleanor out, looking utterly disheveled. People outside were throwingthingsat

Eleanor, in particular,wasberated the harshest, people saying she would suffer karma for her treatment of her own daughter.
Exan and Sean protected their mother amid the jostling and debris,
Finally, they made it to their car.
After a while, Evan said, “Mom, tomorrow I’ll check on dad and Bradley.â€
Eleanor nodded repeatedly. Think of something, don’t let them suffer.â€
As she spoke. Eleanor began to cry.
Her son and husband had never suffered like this; it made her wonder what bad karma theyhadbrought upon themselves.
Evan and Sean didn’t comfort Eleanor, she had been crying often thesedays.
Just then. Evan’s phone rang. Whatever the person on the other end said, Evan’s face turned extremely grim.
After hanging up, he looked at Sean and Eleanor and said, “The company can’t hold on any longer. We have to file for bankruptcy
