The Lost Heiress: Never Forgiven (Sierra Xander) novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539 The Turning Tide

The alcohol–induced fog in Maddox’s mind began to clear. His first thought, surprisingly, was: serves him right.

Chilled by his own calmness, he finally asked, “Did you find out what happened?”

“Brake failure,” came the reply from the guard.

Maddox instantly understood–this was the Wynn family’s retaliation.

Frankly, the fact that Victor was still alive meant they’d shown him mercy.

But Jonathan was still under strict watch. Who could have pulled this off?

One name flickered through Maddox’s mind.

Sierra?

He shook his head. She didn’t seem like someone who would take such a direct, bloody route.

Chase, then? It had to be. After all, Susie was his wife.

At that moment, in the hospital, Chase and Jose received the same news.

Jose’s eyes lit up and immediately turned to his father. Chase looked equally stunned.

Jose opened his mouth to speak, but Chase quietly shook his head.

Now wasn’t the time.

Just then, Susie stirred.

Hearing movement, the two men rushed to her side.

When she heard their voices, Susie tried to speak–but the pain that tore through her body when she moved her mouth stopped her cold.

“Don’t move,” Chase said gently. “The doctor said your injuries are serious.”

Susie seemed to want to raise her hand to her face. She couldn’t see a thing–her eyes were bandaged.

Chase caught the gesture and explained softly, “You had a minor eye surgery. The light can’t hit them just yet. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine in a few days.”

She lay there quietly, listening to Chase’s voice.

She had truly believed she would die. She never expected she’d still get to hear her husband and son again.

Chase held her hand and whispered, “It’s okay now. Don’t be afraid. We will make that bastard pay.”

If Jonathan weren’t still under supervision, he would’ve acted long ago.

Back in the holding facility, Jonathan had also received the news–delivered by Stone. After hesitating for a while, Stone had decided he couldn’t hide it from him.

When Jonathan heard Susie was gravely injured and hospitalized, his face darkened.

He suddenly stood. “Thank you for staying with me all this time.”
