The Lost Heiress: Never Forgiven (Sierra Xander) novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533 The Price of Loyalty

“Pointless,” Sierra said calmly. “If it happened once, it’ll happen again.”

“What we need to do is cut it off at the root.”

Chase couldn’t help but glance at Sierra in surprise. He hadn’t expected her to stay this composed in such tense situation.

Truth be told, even he was rattled. Yet Sierra was still analyzing everything with sharp clarity.

The more he interacted with her, the more he agreed with his son’s choice. She really was impressive.

“So how do we cut it off at the root?” Jose asked this time, his gaze carrying a hint of admiration for his sister–in–law.

Sierra rubbed her forehead and said, “We make them think twice before touching Professor Yaeger.

They needed a deterrent strong enough to keep those people in check. The group discussed strategies deep into the night before finally dispersing around dawn.

Chase was just reminded that Sierra was still pregnant. Concerned, he said, “We’ve decided what to do. You should rest now. I’ll take care of the rest.”

He felt like a failure as a father. His son was in danger, and it was his pregnant daughter–in–law carrying the weight instead of him.

“Thank you,” Sierra replied.

Her words stung a little, but he said nothing. Just being able to help them was enough.

Once everyone left, Sierra finally collapsed into, bed, exhausted. With no familiar arms around her, she couldn’t help hugging Jonathan’s pillow tightly/ It still smelled like him.

“Professor Yaeger, you better come back to me.”

Ever since Shane visited, Jonathan had become hyper–alert, especially with anything brought in from outside.

Everything he received was delivered separately. He hadn’t eaten in two meals, but that couldn’t go on. After thinking it over, he finally spoke./

“I don’t like the food here. I want meals from my family’s chef.”

Even with his special status, this request was a bit much. One person immediately snapped back.

“You need to remember–you’re not at home here.”

Jonathan calmly adjusted his sleeve and replied coolly, “If I wanted to walk out of here, I could. I’m cooperating. If I stop, there’s no need for any of this.”

They all knew who he was. Even if they were annoyed, no one dared go too far. In the end, they had to report it to their superiors.

Before long. Sierra got word—they wanted to bring in the family chef.
