Chapter 124 Unveiling the Past
Sierra didn’t know that the more she spoke up for Dickson, the unhappier Jonathan became. Thankfully, they had already arrived at the complex,
She fetched Dickson, and noticing Jonathan, Dickson’s expression turned odd. Sierra didn’t think much of it, assuming he just didn’t want to see a stranger. She whispered to him.
“It’s a long ride, Mr. Yeager is giving us a lift. Mr. Yeager is a good guy, you don’t have to be scared, and I’ll be with you the
whole time.
Dickson nodded slightly without looking up.
Daphne was buried in a distant cemetery. By the time Dickson received the news and got there, only Daphne’s ashes remained. They said she had died in an accident, burned beyond recognition, and he hadn’t even seen her body.
This was why he always suspected there was something more to Daphne’s death. Looking at the photo on the tombstone, Sierra felt a pang of sorrow; Daphne had been the first person she met after her incarceration
“Daphne had always looked out for her, being older.
Thinking about Daphne’s death made Sierra deeply sad.
Dickson, overwhelmed by grief, had already turned into a mess of tears. Sierra didn’t try to stop him; on the contrary, she felt it was better for him to let it all out.
Guessing Dickson had a lot to say to Daphne, Sierra didn’t intrude and instead pulled Jonathan aside..
Jonathan glanced at Dickson, who was crying uncontrollably, and asked Sierra, “How did Daphne die?”
Sierra was taken aback; Jonathan had never asked about Daphne before.
Jonathan seemed odd to her at times; sometimes he appeared caring, but other times he was eerily calm.
Seeing that Sierra remained silent, Jonathan pressed, “Can’t
Sierra first glanced at Dickson to make sure he couldn’t hear them, then lowered her voice, “She was tortured to death.”
Jonathan was the kind of man who could deduce the whole picture from a single piece of information.
“Was it Kason?”
He guessed the culprit right away.
Sierra looked at Jonathan in shock; she hadn’t mentioned Kason at all, yet Jonathan had figured it out on his own.
Seeing her expression, Jonathan knew he was right. “No wonder…”
Jonathan appeared contemplative. “So, that day I met you, you knew about this. But bow did you find out?”
Remembering how pale Sierra had been that day, a sharp look crossed Jonathan’s eyes. “Did someone tell you something, or did you see something?”
Jonathan’s words unnerved Sierra; he was too insightful, having guessed most of the story just from his deductions.
“Mr. Yeager, stop, please don’t get involved in this
Kason, Brendan, and Shane were not people to mess with; the more you knew, the more dangerous it was.
Seeing her reluctance to speak further, Jonathan didn’t press. His phone rang, and he stepped aside to answer the call.

Dickson’s eyes were red, but his expression was much more relieved, looking better than before.
Sierra nodded in relief. “It’s good to let it out.”

“Keep doing well: your sister wouldn’t want to see you like this. She told me her biggest wish was to see you finish school and get a good job. Don’t let her down.”
Dickson managed a strained smile and suddenly hugged Sierra. “Thank you, Sierra, no matter what.”
Sierra was still processing when Dickson released her, his face wearing a genuinely relieved smile.
He had thought it over the previous night and finally made a decision.
Even if Sierra might somehow be connected to Daphne’s death, he didn’t want to act against her.
He could feel the kindness Sierra had shown him. Whether it was out of guilt or something else, she had genuinely been good to him. Without Sierra, he feared what that person might have done to him.
So, he couldn’t bring himself to harm Sierra.
Just now, he had cried his heart out at his sister’s grave, apologizing for not being able to take action.
But he had made another decision.
“Sierra, I’m leaving, Dickson suddenly said.
Sierra was startled. “What? Why so sudden?”
As she spoke, her brow furrowed. “Dickson, what happened?”
It was strange; just a couple of days ago, he was very resistant, and now he suddenly changed his mind. Something wasn’t right.
