When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Aftermath and Plans

So, once again. Sean’s disgraced image spread across the internet, quickly topping the trending searches. Back at the Karrier residence, Sean, though he had showered, shaved, and changed doches, no longer carried his deal arrogance in his words and demeanor

Seeing his son like this, Franklin said coldly, “I truly raised a curse. I should never have let her come back

Eleanor also looked displeased.

Bradley and Evan remained silent, though their eyes conveyed pity for Sear

It was Sean, who had been quiet since his return, who spoke up, “Dad, don’t blame him! It’s our fault?

“What did you say? Franklin looked at Sean, shocked, thinking his stint in jail had scrambled his brain

“Dad. I nearly went mad these past ten days. Every day was endless interrogations, poor food, sleepless nights, nothing but a dark, small room. Sean spoke, almost gasping for air, his sense of time lost, his despair unlike anything he had ever experienced.

Jail was unbearable; he couldn’t imagine how Sierra had survived three years.

Experiencing something firsthand was completely different from hearing about it. He had felt pity for Sierra when he heard she suffered and was bullied, but only when he endured it himself did he understand the real tragedy.

And yet, he was treated relatively well due to his status, not subjected to the harsh treatment others faced. If it’s this hard for me, how is Sierra, just a bit over 18 at the time, managing to endure?

Sean’s words silenced the Xander family.

After a while, Franklin spoke, “The past is the past; let’s not bring up those things again. Right now, the Xander family faces unprecedented challenges. If we don’t overcome this, not only will we fail to rise higher, but we’ll also lose our footing in

Maviston”

Thinking of this, he looked at Evan, “Evan, are you sure your research can make a splash?”

Suddenly singled out, Evan trapped back to reality and nodded, “Yes! My professor has seen it; he said it will definitely cause a stir in the academic world”

“That’s good! Success or failure hinges on this; be careful, and make sure there are no mistakes, Franklin instructed.

Don’t worry, dad, there won’t be any problems, Evan replied.

Despite his assurances, he felt a vague unease, recalling the words Sierra had spoken to him. It should be alright, right?

It was Kason who told Sierra about Sean’s release.

Kason had initially wanted to surprise Sierra, but she had been too preoccupied with Sean’s situation to pay him any

Now that Kason had brought the news, Sierra took the initiative to ask about it.

Don’t worry, I won’s Kason said, smiling smugly.
