Chapter 449
“Holly.” Sierra looked at her.
Holly met Sierra’s eyes, gentle and patient. “Go ahead.”
Sierra pressed her lips together and voiced the thought that had been weighing on her mind. “I want to find Pamela and see whether she had used that scar to get close to John.”
“Of course,” Holly said, respecting every decision she made. “I’ll go with you.”
Holly knew exactly what Sierra was thinking. Sierra would rather anyone else be the woman who saved John, even if that person had to be Pamela. It was tougher to accept how fate messed with people than the actual truth.
Sierra didn’t sleep at all.
Her mind was full of everything between her and John. The sweet moments, the arguments, the happy times, the suffocating
ones…
She remembered every expression on his face and his tone of voice back then. She remembered how he loved her, and she also remembered the cruel things he had said in anger.
Soon, it was a little after six in the morning.
She picked up her phone and had Pamela’s number on her screen. After hesitating for a moment, she sent Pamela a text.
[I know who that person is now. The deal is off.]
Pamela didn’t see the message until after eight. She didn’t panic at all and simply assumed Sierra was bluffing. She called Sierra,
her tone as casual as ever.
“Then go ahead and tell me who it is.”
If Sierra really knew, she wouldn’t have sent that message. She would have screamed at Pamela and demanded to know why Pamela had stolen her place.

“Me,” Sierra answered calmly as she made the call in the study.
Pamela froze.
For a long time, nothing came from her end of the line.
Sierra didn’t give Pamela a chance to talk her way out of it and asked bluntly, “I didn’t even know that man was John back then. How did you know?”
The other end stayed silent for a while, then the call ended without a word.
Pamela was freaking out right then.
How could this happen? How had Sierra found out?!
Originally, Sierra still had some doubts about this. However, she was sure of it now after how Pamela had reacted. She was indeed the one who had saved John.
“Sierra.” Anna knocked on the door. When she came in and saw how pale Sierra looked, she asked with concern, “Why do you look so worn out? Were you up late last night?”
“Mom.” Sierra herself could not tell whether she felt good or not.
Anna walked to her. “What’s wrong?”
After a brief pause, Sierra said it anyway. “I might not need Louisa to handle the case for me anymore.

“Have you and John worked things out?” Anna asked.
Before Sierra could answer, she went straight to the point.
“Even if you did, I still think you should go through the courts for the divorce. That one–month waiting period is just too long. What if he changes his mind again like before?”
“He won’t.” This time, Sierra was sure.
He put promises first. So far above everything else that they came before his life, his freedom, and everything else.
Anna noticed the change in her mood. “You two…”
“I found out some things recently, and I can use them to make him divorce me,” Sierra said. She chose a different way to phrase
it and did not tell the full truth. “He won’t be able to refuse.”
Anna watched Sierra for a long time. Once she was sure Sierra was not forcing herself to act strong or being forced to do this, she
did not interfere any further.
“Alright.”
