The Lost Heiress: Never Forgiven (Sierra Xander) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 The One They Left Behind

Hearing Sierra’s words, the students stiffened but quickly doubled down.

“You must’ve bullied her. Otherwise, why would Denise be crying?”

“And why does she look so scared?”

Sierra let out a short laugh and didn’t bother arguing. Instead, she took out her phone, pressed play, and let the room fill with the recording of her conversation with Denise just moments ago.

Denise’s face changed slightly. She hadn’t expected Sierra to do that.

As the others listened, the room fell into brief silence.

From the recording, Sierra hadn’t actually done anything to Denise.

But someone still insisted, “It’s still your fault. Denise skipped her meal because she was waiting for you.”

Sierra almost laughed out loud. “Did I tell her not to eat? She had time to wait for me, but not to eat?”

Some students finally fell silent, but a few were still stubborn.

“Denise meant well.”

“So I should have given her my bread? That would have been the right thing to do, huh?”

“If I don’t, I’ve committed some kind of crime, is that it?”

Even the most vocal ones had nothing to say to that.

Sierra turned her attention to Evan, a cold smile on her lips. “As for why she’s scared, I think Mr. Evan already knows.”

They were all so eager to call someone a murderer, but they had no idea the person they were talking about was their beloved campus sweetheart.

Evan, on the other hand, did know. His expression darkened, and he shot Sierra a warning glare, silently telling her to drop it.

An awkward tension settled over the room, but Denise suddenly burst into tears.

“Please don’t fight. Don’t argue because of me. It’s all my fault. I wasn’t thinking… I just said it without meaning anything.”

People always sympathized with the weak, especially when the weak happened to be beautiful.

Compared to Sierra, who carried herself with an intimidating strength, everyone naturally chose to side with Denise.

The momentary silence vanished, and the students started shouting again, as if they’d been re–energized.

“No matter what, we don’t want to be in the same class as a murderer.”

“Mr. Evan, please, transfer her out.”

“Yes, transfer her! Get her out of here.”

Dozens of voices filled the room, pushing for the same outcome.
