When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Online Commotions

This environment was all too familiar to her. The dark and silence… She had lived through it countless times over those three

years.

Lowering her head, she hid the fear in her eyes and told herself there was nothing to be afraid of. The worst that could happen was reliving those three years all over again.

Just as that thought crossed her mind, the sound of a creaking door broke the silence. Steady yet urgent footsteps followed, and she instinctively looked up, only to see Jonathan walking toward her against the light.

At that moment. Sierra felt like she was dreaming. Otherwise, how could she possibly see Jonathan here?

Before she could react, she heard him say. “It’s over. Let’s go home”

Go home? Sierra parted her lips, wanting to say something, but the next second, she was lifted into his arms. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck. The familiar warmth of his body made her realize she wasn’t dreaming. Jonathan was really here. He had come to take her home!

“You can ask more from me. I want to be different from everyong else in your life.” At that moment, Jonathan was both serious and domineering, but to Sierra, his presence felt incredibly reassuring.

“Alright. Then I want the Xander family to get the punishment they deserve. Don’t let them off, Sierra spoke slowly.

How could the years of suffering she endured be erased with a simple sorry?

Jonathan smirked. “Don’t worry. Even if I don’t do anything, the pressure alone will bring them to justice.”

“And I have more good news for you.” Jonathan glanced at Sierra, a satisfied smile

on his lips. “Denise is about to die.”

Jonathan started the car as he explained, “The Xander family is currently being interrogated at the police station. Denise is in the hospital”

As a suspect, Denise should have been arrested immediately, but she had already fainted. On top of that, her heart condition had worsened, and she was still undergoing emergency treatment. Without the Xander family, whether she could survive was

Now that they were too busy saving themselves, who would care about Denise?
