Chapter 60 The One Who Owes 

Denise felt relieved when she heard their explanation. Her eyes flickered as she spoke

Then I’ll go see her. She’s my grandmother too. And with Bradley and Evan here, I’m not worried. Most importantly, if this can bring my sister home. I’d do anything.” 

Bradley let out a sigh, his expression full of warmth

Denise, you’re always so considerate. If only Sierra had half your understanding none of this would have happened. Sometimes. I feel like giving up on her.” 

Denise quickly clung to his arm, her voice soft and sweet

Bradley, don’t say that! She’s our sister!” 

Exactly. That’s the only reason I’ve tolerated her for this long.” 

Come on, let’s go in

The three of them entered the room

Denise’s eyes immediately landed on Sierra, who was calmly peeling fruit for her grandmother

A flicker of disgust flashed through her eyes before she turned toward the old woman in the wheelchair

She wasn’t unfamiliar with this person

She had already looked into the Coleman family’s background a long time ago

When she first found out about them, she had nearly broken down

She couldn’t accept ither real parents were those people

A gamblingaddicted father, a weakwilled mother, and a disabled grandmother

That wasn’t her real family. It couldn’t be

She was Denise Xander. She had nothing to do with them

She refused to acknowledge any connection 

She was the Xander family’s daughter

It was a shameshe had been so close to making it permanent

Ma’am.” 

Denise hesitated before addressing her

She couldn’t bring herself to call this woman Grandma

Her real grandmother was a wealthy, dignified woman. Not this 

Sierra saw the disappointment in her grandmother’s eyes. She frowned and said coldly

“Denise, have you forgotten? You’re James and Yulia’s daughter. This is your biological grandmother.” 

Her grandmother had spent years hoping to meet Denise, yet Denise had never once come to see her

The moment Sierra finished speaking, Denise immediately shrank back, looking frightened as she hid behind Bradley

Bradley’s first instinct was to snap, Why are you scaring her?”

Chapter 60 The One Who Owes 

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he caught Sierra’s mocking gaze and realized- 

Sierra hadn’t actually said anything wrong

She had only spoken the truth

But he was used to it.. 

Used to seeing Denise afraid and immediately protecting her

Used to scolding Sierra without thinking

Had this happened before

He couldn’t remember

But it must have. Many times

Because Denise was always so timid, always needing to be sheltered

Finished 

Sering Bradley’s blatant favoritism, Sierra’s grandmother’s heart ached even more. She held onto Sierra’s hand and said slowly. It’s fine. The Xander family is clearly our of our league. I won’t force her to call me anything. But some things still need to be said. You may not acknowledge me, but that doesn’t change the truth. You are my granddaughter, whether you like it or not Just as Sierra is your sister, whether you accept it or not. If you make mistakes, you should take responsibility. Stop using me as leverage to threaten Sierra. If I hear about it again, I’ll come find you instead. After all, if we’re talking about duty. it should be you taking care of me, not her.” 

Denise’s face went white

Her lips moved, as if to argue, but Evan quickly interrupted

That’s enough, ma’am” 

Her grandmother met his cold gaze with an unwavering one of her own

You’ve all bullied my Sierra. Have any of you ever asked how she feels? If she hurts? You never treated her like a real sister. So don’t expect her to do anything for you or the Xander family. She doesn’t owe you anything. Her parents gave her life, and she paid for it with three years in prison. That debt is settled. Don’t ever try to use her again. And especially you 

Her sharp gaze fell on Denise

She never owed you anything. It’s you who owes her. The entire Coleman family owes her.” 

By the time the Xander siblings left the hospital, none of them looked good

Denise’s face was particularly pale

For the first time, she felt truly unsettled

But this time, Bradley and Evan didn’t seem to notice

They didn’t feel like they had done anything wrong

And yet- 

The image of that old woman shielding Sierra behind her- 

Istuck with them

And neither of them could say why
