Chapter 42

Sierra finally hobbled to Amelia's side, using her strong presence to chase away the bodyguards around Amelia. She took Amelia's hand in her wrinkly ones and gave it a firm squeeze, comforting her. "Mia, you're okay now." Amelia's heart was warmed. The moment Sierra took her by her hand, she quietly decided to protect Sierra. She wouldn't let Sierra die at anyone's hands like last time. Standing in the crowd, Winter was filled with jealousy when she saw them together. She bit her lip so hard that she almost drew blood. Although she'd spent over a decade trying to please Sierra, the older woman had never been friendly toward her. Yet, she was so attentive toward Amelia. Bitter and angry, Winter stormed up to Sierra. "Grandma! Why are you still siding with Amelia after what she did? Don't you think you're being too biased? There are so many people here. Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?" The moment she said that, the gleam of respect in the guests' eyes diminished.
