Chapter 120 Campus Rumors Run Wild
She didn’t know that Dickson hadn’t sleptatall; his eyes were wide open, filled with pain and struggle.
As she was heading downstairs, Sierra ran into Jonathan.
Join me?” Jonathan suggested, as he also had a morning class.
Sierra hesitated. If someone sees us…
She wasn’t worried about herself–her reputation was already tarnished–but Jonathan was different.
“A clean hand wants no washing, what’s there to fear?”
Jonathan always seemed to know what she was thinking, Sierra’s eyes sparkled as she joked, “As long as Mr. Yeager doesn’t mind taking a loss!”
“As a man, what loss could I possibly suffer?”
Jonathansaidashe pressed the elevator button.
The two arrivedatschool together and, as Sierra had expected, their appearance immediately caused a sensation.
Both were well–known figures at Northwind University. Each could stir up excitement alone, let alone together.
However, neither was bothered by the onlookers‘ piercinggazes, which they ignored completely.
From a distance. Yaron watched this scene with envy. Everyone wanted Jonathan’s guidance, and it seemed Sierrahadmanaged to snag him. Sierra was so low, he thought, unaware of what methods she used to hook Jonathan.
He had thought hernaive, but she turned out to be nothing but cheap. Better they were together, he mused;that way, when things blewuplater,noone would believe Sierra’s words.
Just in case, he thought, he’d need to take further precautions.
After her class, Sierragrabbedher things, planning to returnandtake Dickson to see Daphne. But as soonasshe left the classroom, she was stopped by a group of girls. Sierra recognized them; theyhadalways been close with Denise.
“Sierra,canwe talk for a moment?”thetallgirl leading the groupasked.
“I’m busy!”
Sierra didn’t mince words.
The girls seemed taken aback by her blunt attitude, their faces falling immediately. One couldn’t help but say,
“We’re trying to talk nicely toyou,whyare you being likethis?I don’t know how Denny puts up with you; she’s always speaking well ofyou.”
“Yes, you’re indeed the Xander family’s daughter, but Denny is innocent too. You shouldn’t take your

“Howcanyoube so heartless?”
anger out on her.”
Sierra scoffed, “Heartless?Put yourself in myshoes. Howwouldyoufeelif your ownfamilyignoredyou, caringonlyabout an outsider? If she getsacold, the whole familyisalarmed, but if you were dying,noonewould even look your way. Could you forgive that?”
“…
Thegirl began to respond, but Sierra interrupted, “Look, Idon’tknow about you, but I can’t play the saint. I’m not exactly radiating virtue like some of you,so let’s cut the act. If you’re genuinely concerned about her, why not step up? Be her family.

The group was left speechless by Sierra’s retort. Sierra gave them a scornful glance, “Can’t do it? Then shut up and stop complaining. Get lost!”
Sierra was thoroughly disgusted. Bradley seeking her out was one thing, but now thesestrangerswere jumping at her, stirred up by Denise’s machinations.
Sierra’s herve response ignited the girls‘ tempers, and they encircledher, “Who do you think you are? Just because you’re competent in your held and the school has kept you on doesn’t mean you’re something special. Who doesn’t know what’s really going on?”
“Being in jail really changes people, doesn’t it? Who knows what you learned there to make Mr. Yeager fall all over himself for
“You’re shameless, stealing even your sister’s boyfriend!”
The group’s noisy accusations initially seemed like nonsense to Sierra, but the last remark piqued her interest.
“Boyfriend? Who?”
Yaron Han? Denise always stringing him along?
“What are you playing at? Everyone knows Denny’s been into Jonathan. Why else would a literature major switch to biochemical sciences?”
Hearing this, Sierra raised an eyebrow, about to respond, when suddenlyavoice came from behind her.
