When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 A Change of Heart

Sierra watched as Jonathan effortlessly handled Bradley, a strange feeling stirring in her heart. She had always thought of Jonathon as a kind and easygoing person, someone willing to help others.

Then, she discovered he had a sharp tongue. And today, she realized he was downright devious. The image of Jonathan in her mind had shifted several times

Hut strangely enough, I didn’t dislike it.

Watching Bradley suffer a humiliating loss, Sierra couldn’t help but feel delighted. Her arrogant and self–important brothers had finally met their match.

Jonathan ended the call and glanced at Sierra, noticing the amusement in her eyes. He raised an eyebrow. “What?”

Do other people know how devious you are, Mr. Yeager

Jonathan let out a small chuckle, looking pleased. “I told you, I only follow the rules.”

Technically speaking, he had done nothing wrong. Bradley had only given him two pills, so he had only analyzed those two pills. He had also provided their exact production date, which was simply being thorough.

There was no issue whatsoever. If anything, it only proved his professionalism! Bradley had suffered a silent loss and had no grounds to complain. Sierra felt like she had learned something new. Her mood was unusually good today. So, for once, she returned to the Xander Residence early.

Back at the Xander Residence, the moment Sierra stepped inside, she was greeted by an air of heavy tension. For once, the entire Xander family was present. Even Sean, the celebrity brother, was home.

Since joining the entertainment industry, Sean has never hidden his family background. Now, he was caught in the scandal too Haters flooded his social media, forcing him to shut down his comments section and retreat home.

Frustrated, he glanced at Sierra and immediately snapped, “The family is in crisis, and you’re still running around outside? Do you even consider this place your home?”

Sierra blinked. “I think you should ask Mr. Franklin that question instead.”

Sean faltered. Right, she had been removed from the family registry. Technically speaking, she wasn’t even a member of the Xander family

He cleared his throat awkwardly. “Regardless, you should still think about the family.”

Sierra let out a soft chuckle and turned toward Denise, who was gently comforting their mother. “Ms. Denise is well liked at school. Everyone speaks highly of her. And you, Mr. Sean, have countless fans. Maybe you two should come up with a solution.”

Before Sean could respond, Sierra continued, “I don’t have many friends. The few I do know are

serving their sentences

in prison. Should I ask them to speak up instead? If you think that’s a good idea, I’d be happy to arrange it. I’m sure it would push the Xander family’s reputation to a whole new level.”

“You!” Sean was completely speechless. All it took was one comment from him, and Sierra had already countered with dozen. Stuce when did she become so sharp–tongued?

At that moment, the study room door opened. Franklin stepped out with a dark expression, followed closely by a troubled- looking Bradley.

Well?

Eleanor stood up anxiously. Evan, who had just finished a phone call, shook his head.

Dad, it’s not working. This scandal is too big, none of the respected senior professors are willing to get involved.”

Franklin sighed, as if he had already expected this outcome

“Then forget it. As long as they don’t have solid evidence, the outrage will fade eventually

Finished

Sure, their reputation would take a hit, especially Xander Pharmaceuticals. But it wasn’t something they couldn’t recover
