Chapter 562
If Danny and Agnes could be that cruel to a young boy, how could they possibly be decent people?
“Marcus, see them out.” Something clutched tight in Sierra’s chest.
Marcus moved at once.
Danny and Agnes wanted to say something, but Marcus forced them into the car.

Danny’s driver did not want to leave, but the moment he felt the pressure coming from Marcus, he obediently started the car and drove away. It slowly disappeared from Sierra’s sight.
“Now that she has found her real father, she thinks she is untouchable.” Danny couldn’t let go of his anger. No one had ever treated him like this in all these years. “She was always meek when she met us in the past.”
“I really don’t get it. Why did you go looking for her?” Agnes could not understand it at all.
“If she really is the daughter of the Lynch family and also tied to the King family, especially when both were of Harbor City, then she could bring us great value.” Danny’s eyes were filled with calculatedness.
“No matter how valuable she is, it has nothing to do with us. She’s already divorced from John.” Agnes frowned. “If you ask me, she was never any good for us. Someone like her was never fit to marry into the Henderson family. Just look at how much of John’s property she took in the divorce. What if it happened again?”
The more Agnes spoke, the more worked up she got. Her expression looked dark, and it was obvious how much she cared about the assets John had given Sierra during the divorce.
“If she married into the Henderson family with the King family and Lynch family behind her, the alliance we had would be a powerful one. All the other prominent families would be eating our dust after that.” Danny said as he schemed. “The Henderson family could stay number one for the next hundred years.”
Agnes was very satisfied with John as he was now. “Even without her, John can still do it.”
“If a marriage alliance can bring us all of that, why take the long way around?” Danny did not bother hiding what he was
thinking.
“She and John just got divorced. There’s no way they are getting back together anytime soon.”
Agnes thought about everything that had happened to her son lately and how Sierra had not shown up even once.
“Instead of thinking about that, we should wait for John to lead the Henderson family to a greater height.”
Danny looked out the window. “Even if they don’t get back together, we still have our eldest.”
“You mean Solomon?” Agnes asked as she blinked.
“Yes.” Danny nodded.
Agnes stared at him in disbelief. “Are you out of your mind? Was it not enough for her to ruin one of my sons? Now you want her to ruin the other one too?”
“John leading the family to greatness and the benefits Sierra can bring us aren’t mutually exclusive.” The more Danny thought about it, the more practical the idea felt like. “Call Solomon and tell him to come home for dinner tonight.”
Sierra didn’t realize they were having such ridiculous thoughts.
After watching Danny and Agnes leave, she headed for her bedroom, and old images rose in her mind.
That part of her memory had never been especially clear, but now she could see little John flailing in the water in despair, crying for help. His voice was growing weaker and weaker, more helpless with every second

No one paid any attention to him.
Even now, Danny and Agnes still treated him like this when he had status and power. What could he have gone through when he was just a child?
What Kenneth knew was probably only the tip of the iceberg.
Or maybe all those casually skipped-over remarks were hiding a bleak childhood with no light at all.
“Ms. Bell.” Marcus could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her. “Are you feeling bad for your ex-husband?”
Sierra blinked.
Her ex?
