The Lost Heiress: Never Forgiven (Sierra Xander) novel Chapter 537

Chapter 537 The Cost of Survival

Maybe it was Maddox’s promise, or maybe it was the mounting pressure outside–but Victor finally relented.

Maddox let out a breath of relief. Too soon.

Because when Susie was dragged out by the guards, her body covered in blood, Maddox’s eyes widened in shock. He instinctively looked back at Victor.

Victor, as if completely unaware, simply waved a hand. “Take her out.”

Maddox composed himself and gave the order to escort Susie out.

At the gate. Sierra had already arrived with military and police officials. She was just about to speak when her eyes landed on the figure behind Maddox–and her face drained of color. In a flash, she rushed forward.

Susie was unconscious, her body soaked in blood, her life hanging by a thread. Sierra trembled violently as she declared, “I want to file a report. Victor physically assaulted my mother.”

“Sierra, don’t escalate this,” Maddox pleaded.

Sierra shot him a cold glare. “You might fear him. I don’t.”

Tell him–he’s already lost.”

She didn’t bother saying anything more. She immediately ordered her people to transport Susie to the Wynn family’s private hospital.

Maddox remained at the gates, frozen in place. Sierra’s words echoed in his head.

Lost? Maybe. But what could he do about it? He was powerless now.

Meanwhile, Sierra rushed Susie to the hospital. As the emergency room doors swung open, Chase and Jose arrived, both having changed their course after receiving Sierra’s update mid–drive.

“How is she?” Jose asked, his voice tight with panic.

“She just went in, Sierra replied quietly.

She didn’t mention that Susie’s condition was critical–that she barely had a breath left in her. There was no point in saying it now.

Seeing Chase and Jose so stricken. he had no words.

For now, both father and son were too focused on Susic to even consider storming Victor’s home.

Before long, a group of high–ranking police officials arrived, visibly tense. Both sides–Victor’s and the Wynn family’s–were powerful, and this situation had spiraled into a major incident.

“She’s still in surgery,” Sierra said calmly.

The officers nodded, but their unease was evident. The atmosphere was tense. The sight of Susie’s condition suggested things were far more serious than anyone expected.

This was going to be a nightmare to handle. A quick glance between them confirmed it–no one envied the responsibility.

Sierra cut him off sharply. “So he gets to beat her half to death? Is that how justice works? Why do we have laws, then?”
