When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Exposing The Truth

Sierra had no idea about the discussions happening online. She simply watched the Xander family put on their performance with cold ryrs before suddenly speaking up. “If you really feel guilty, shouldn’t you at least clear my name?”

The others didn’t understand what she meant, but the Xander family did. Their facial expressions instantly changed.

Denise had been standing on the side, distant from the situation. Ever since Sierra had become the center of attention, she felt suffocated but forced herself to hold on. Though, she didn’t know what she was waiting for.

Now, hearing Sierra’s words, she suddenly found herself unable to breathe. She nearly collapsed but dug her nails into her palm to keep herself steady. She had a bad feeling.

“Sierra…” Bradley looked at her with a complicated look. “Can we talk about this privately?”

With so many people watching, how were they supposed to explain themselves?

And with the livestream still running, if this matter were exposed, it wouldn’t just be Denise, it would be the entire Xander family that was doomed. If it was revealed that they had bribed someone to take the fall, the scandal would be too big to

Sierra looked at him indifferently and let out a chuckle. “Why should we talk privately?”

With that, she cast a glance at the trembling Denise and said coolly, “Now, it’s your turn.”

Denise’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly blurted out, “Sierra, don’t!”

She knew exactly what Sierra was about to say. Rushing to get ahead of her, she snapped, “If you really go through with this, you won’t get away either.”

What good would exposing the truth do for Sierra? She would face consequences as well. Thinking of this, Denise felt a little relieved.

“Sierra, let’s talk!” The Xander family had come to the same realization and hurriedly tried to persuade her

“Sierra, don’t be reckless, Let’s handle this privately. We’ll make sure you get justice.”

“Haha“” Sierra laughed so hard that she almost teared up. Wiping her eyes, she sneered. “Justice? Do you think I’d still believe

that?”

Before the Xander family could say anything else, she plugged in her USB drive and played a video on the

e projector.

The moment the footage from over three years ago appeared, showing someone being thrown through the air, the entire room erupted in shock.

The Xander family members‘ faces darkened. This was worse than they had imagined. They had thought Sierra would only speak about what had happened back then, in which case they could still find a way out since there was no proof. But now, Sierra had played the video in front of everyone. What were they supposed to do now?

Seeing their horrified expressions, Sierra spoke clearly and deliberately. “If you won’t give me justice, I’ll claim it myself! Denise, I sat in prison for three years for you. How should we settle this?

“Mr. Franklin, Mr. Xander, and the brothers of the Xander family! How should we settle this?”

Holy shit! So it was Denise who hit that person, not Sierra? So Denise was the one who should’ve gone to prison?”

“I used to think the Xander family only mistreated Sierra in terms of living conditions and language barriers, but this? They’re crazy!”

Back at the venue, murmurs of discussion rose, and all eyes turned toward the Xander family, filled with shock and condemnation.

Denise couldn’t hear what they were saying. The moment she saw the video, something inside her snapped. Her mind went blank with a single thought. It’s over. The weight of those judgmental stares and whispered words became the final straw that broke her.

Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

The scandal was too big to contain. It exploded online, and soon, the authorities intervened, taking Sierra and the Xander family into custody.

Sierra had already anticipated this outcome the moment she played the video.

During the interrogation, she calmly recounted the entire incident how after the accident, the Xander family had forced her to take the blame, how they had threatened her and tried to manipulate her using her grandmother.

She knew she would face consequences too, but she had no regrets.

She would take responsibility for what she had done, but she would never again admit to something she hadn’t done. She was fully prepared for what was to come. Even so, when she found herself locked inside the interrogation room, she couldn’t help but feel a little afraid.
