The Lost Heiress: Never Forgiven (Sierra Xander) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Unwanted Kindness

Sierra had always hated noodles.

She had eaten more than enough of them in the Coleman family. She was sick of them.

Finished

Eleanor’s face stiffened at her words, a flicker of embarrassment flashing across her features. Even Evan’s expression shifted slightly. They both remembered those years when their entire world had revolved around Denny. Who had cared about a child brought back halfway through?

“…I’m sorry, Sierra. I forgot.”

“Tell me what you like, and this time, I’ll remember.”

Eleanor’s voice was anxious, like she was finally realizing how little attention they had ever given Sierra.

“There’s no need. I’m not hungry.”

With that, Sierra walked away.

Some things, once broken, could never be put back together.

She had a short class that morning. Grabbing two buns from the cafeteria, she went straight to the lecture hall.

The moment she stepped inside, she felt it.

The stares. The scrutiny. The whispers.

People were watching her–assessing, probing, wary, cautious.

She paused for a brief second, then walked straight to the front row.

Few people sat at the front. She was the first to take a seat.

As soon as she sat down, the murmuring around her grew louder.

“That’s her. She’s the oldest in our class. I heard she’s already twenty–one.”

“Seriously? Starting college that late?”

“She used to study here before, but she got in trouble and was locked up for three years.”

“No way. The school still let her in? That’s way too generous.”

“It’s true. She was in the literature department before. Upperclassmen still remember her.”

“Oh yeah, I heard about that. Wasn’t she some pathetic simp? Always chasing after Yaron? He was so annoyed but didn’t know how to reject her.”

“Yaron? You mean Dr. Tan? Oh god, she really aimed high. Everyone knows he’s into the campus belle.”

“They say she switched majors just to get close to him.”

“She really thinks school is a joke, huh? And this program? Good luck surviving the finals.”

Chapter 22 Unwanted Kindness

Sierra heard everything.

She didn’t even blink.

Finished

Three years in prison had given her thicker skin than that. These petty rumors meant nothing to her. They barely registered.

But when the professor walked in, she couldn’t stay indifferent anymore.

The whole class erupted.

“Holy crap! Am I seeing things? That’s Mr. Yeager!”

Jonathan?

Why was he teaching an undergrad course? Wasn’t this a waste of his time?

Besides, she had checked the syllabus. The instructor listed wasn’t him.

She had always known Jonathan was popular, but she hadn’t expected this level of obsession.
