NovelEnglishThe Lost Heiress 106 Chapter 106 Cutting Ties "Don't let him go! I already called the police-there's no way I'm letting this slide!" Bradley snarled through gritted teeth, seething with rage.
"He couldn't believe this nobody had the guts to lay a hand on him.
There was no way he was letting this go. Dickson had to pay.
Hearing that Bradley had called the police. Sierra's brows furrowed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA doctor arrived shortly after, administering a mild sedative to Dickson. Slowly, his tense body relaxed, and he calmed down.
Meanwhile. Bradley had his wound stitched up. The injury on his head was from when Dickson had smashed a bowl over him The whole time, Sierra kept trying to get answers from Dickson. She refused to believe he had attacked without reason. But he remained silent, staring blankly ahead, completely unresponsive.
"The police arrived soon after. After assessing the situation, they prepared to take Dickson into custody. Seeing this. Sierra quickly stepped forward. “Please wait-I'd like to speak with Mr. Xander first.” Dickson was already in a fragile mental state. If he was taken away now, it would only make things worse. With that in mind, Sierra pulled Bradley aside. "Mr. Xander, can we settle this privately?" Regardless of what had happened, the fact remained that Bradley had been injured. Dickson wouldn't be able to avoid the consequences. The only way out was for Bradley to drop the charges.
Bradley stared at her in shock. "Are you seriously askingto let this go?" His voice was laced with shock and irritation. "Do you even see the wound on my head? He attacked me! And you're standing here askingto let it slide?" His expression darkened. "Sierra, you seriously see him as your brother? Have you lost your mind? Someone like him isn't even worth your time!" "Someone like him?” Sierra's voice turned cold. "Is that how you see him?" At that moment, she understood.
She didn't know what had happened earlier, but considering what Dickson had just been through, it wasn't hard to guess.
Bradley must have humiliated him. And after everything, it had pushed him over the edge.
Her hands clenched into fists. "Bradley, do you even realize what you've done?" she snapped.
Bradley stiffened for a moment, caught off guard, but his shock quickly turned to frustration. "Enough I did this because I'm worried you're being deceived. You have no idea how people like him operate-they play the victim, manipulate others, and prey on sympathy. And you actually fell for it? What if he's carrying skind of disease? You'd be dragged down with him!" His frustration was evident as he snapped, “Do you think I want to interfere? If you weren't my sister, I wouldn't waste my ton this." He was the general manager of Xander Group-aside from his father, no one dared to speak to him this way. Maybe he had been too lenient with Sierra, and now she thought she could walk all over him.
Sierra's expression was ice-cold, her eyes burning with hatred. "I've told you before-I'm not part of the Xander family. I've already cut ties with you all, so why can't you just leavealone? Or are you really never going to letgo?" Why can't I ever break free from the Xander family? Her eyes burned with hatred. "Stay out of my life. Every tyou interfere, you make things worse. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if you're doing it on purpose." Bradley's anger only made his head hurt more-his fresh stitches throbbed, feeling like they might split open again.
His voice was ice-cold as he snapped. Fime. If you think I'm interfering, then don't ever ctofor anything. He attacked me-let the police deal with him however they want." Turning on his heel, he was about to storm off when Sierra's voice rang out behind him. Tm sure the police would be interested in reopening that hit-and-run case from three years ago." Bradley froze in place He whipped around disbelief flashing across his face. "Are you threatening me?* She's actually threateningover this worthless nobody! Sierra met his gaze with icy calm. That's up to you. Mr. Xander. Either we let the past stay buried, or we dig it all back The choice is yours." up.

er a long pause. Bradley let out a frustrated breath and lowered his m hand. His voice was cold as he said, "I drop this, but don't ever bring up what happened three years ago again."
Sema's expression didn't change.
"Don't worry. You have someone you care about, and so do I. And fet siget one thing straight-he is my brother, not snobody. Mr. Xander, I suggest you show srespect. If you can't, I promise you, Denise won't be spared from the consequences either
She never wanted things to get this ugly. All she wanted was to break away from the Xander family and go her own way-as if they were strangers. But they just wouldn't leave her alone.
