Chapter 1991
Sierra wasn't able to refute because what Miranda said was the truth. It was indeed true that many could never compare with her background.
However, although she was born privileged, that didn't spare her from putting in effort for her own future. Prestigious universities wanted her because she was the top scorer in the entrance exam but not because of her family background and connections.
All of a sudden, Miranda smirked sinisterly. "I know you like Johan, and you want to be with him. Sierra, I like him too, and I want to be with him. You have everything so why do you still want to take my man away from me?"
"Excuse me? Who took your man?" Displeased, Sierra said, "Miranda, you were the one who told me that you two were siblings, and that there was nothing going on between you guys. And mind you, you were also the one who encouraged me to go after him."
Miranda shouted in a low voice, "Sierra, if I hadn't told you that, would you have remained friends with me? Would I have gotten a chance to get close to you?" "If you don't like me, then why do you want to befriend me in the first place?" Sierra couldn't wrap her head around Miranda's logic. Wouldn't one give another a wide berth if they didn't like that person? Sierra thought.
In that case, why did Miranda try to get close to her and make a friend out of her?
In confusion, Sierra eyed Miranda. The latter had become blithering foreign to her right then.
In the next second, Miranda provided the answer Sierra was seeking, "Because that was the only way I can get closer to my dreams..."
Sierra was even more bemused. Why would getting closer to her help Miranda achieve her dreams?
She was not a genie that could grant wishes.
Miranda quickly shed a light on Sierra's doubts, saying, "Sierra, it might not be important for you to study abroad, but it is for me."
Since everything was already laid on the table, Miranda no longer tried to hide her intentions. "Going abroad to study is my lifelong dream. If you give me the opportunity to go on an exchange program abroad, I will give you Johan. I promise that I will never come back here again, and I will not meet Johan even if I return."
Sierra finally understood. Miranda knew that her academic performance was average at best and that her family was not financially capable to support her. Hence, if she wanted to study abroad, she had only herself to rely on.
From the very beginning, Miranda had set her sights on Sierra. It turned out that Miranda had been scheming against her since the day she met her while Sierra, like an idiot, actually treated Miranda like a true friend.
What was even funnier was that Johan was already her boyfriend. What right did Miranda have to say that she would give Johan to her?
"You said you'll give Johan to me?" Sierra found the entire situation hilarious. Why would she need Miranda to give Johan to her? She questioned, "Miranda, Johan and I are a couple now. I love him and he loves me. What right do you have to give him to me?"
"What right?" Miranda sneered. "Because I was the one who persuaded him to get together with you. You two are only together because I stepped down voluntarily."
Miranda knew that that negotiation with Sierra was her only chance. If she missed it, she would never be able to make something out of her life. Hence, she had to seize Sierra's weakness and make use of it.
"Sierra, if I didn't take the initiative to step back, Johan would never have gotten together with you. After all, you are just a substitute he got to heal his wounds after I dumped him."
"Miranda, do you honestly think that I will buy all this?" Sierra didn't believe Miranda's words, but a vague sense of uneasiness inevitably grew in her chest.
The moment the seed of uneasiness was planted, it would take root and grow.
Miranda knew how much Sierra loved Johan. The deeper she loved him, the more afraid she would be of losing him. She knew that Sierra would never allow anything or anyone to destroy her relationship with Johan.
Miranda forged on with her victorious pursuit. "It's fine if you don't know my character, but you should know how eager I was to study abroad. It was my lifelong dream. Once I leave, I won't come back again. If I don't come back, Johan won't be able to see me. Eventually, he will forget the infatuation we once had for each other. That is the only way the two of you can have a chance at having a stable relationship."
Sierra didn't want to be separated from Johan. Moreover, she had never intended to go abroad to study, but before she could tell her academic counselor about it, Miranda had already come to her.
Just as Miranda had expected,
Sierra was, to all intents and purposes, head over heels with Johan. She loved him so much that she was willing to pay any price for him and would not allow any variables to arise between them.
Somehow, Sierra found herself agreeing to Miranda's request. She even used the connections she had with her family to find someone to help her. In the end, Miranda, who never had any chance of getting into the program, managed to achieve the goal of being an exchange student.
Sierra had never anticipated that Miranda, who said that she would never come back to the country, would return.
No, she should have expected that Miranda was someone who wouldn't keep her promise. She shouldn't have believed anything she had said in the first place.
"It's my fault for being too naive!" Sierra blamed herself inwardly.
Staring at those two disgusting people, Sierra's stomach began to churn even more violently. She thought that she couldn't stay there any longer so she turned around decisively and was about to leave.
However, the moment she turned around, the twitching pain in her stomach rushed over like a flood and everything before her eyes went dark. Before losing her consciousness, Sierra could vaguely hear Johan calling her name, but all that didn't matter anymore as her feelings for him were already dead.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Sierra!" Johan rushed over and caught Sierra's falling body in time. He carried her into his arms and rushed to the emergency clinic at the airport. "This d*mned woman. She's always so stubborn. She was in so much pain yet she never said a word," Johan said inwardly. Looking at Johan's back, who was holding Sierra and running with all his might, Miranda was enveloped by immense jealousy.
Even though she grew up with Johan, Johan had never held her, not even by the hand.
He always told her that she was just his sister.
It had always been that way. He cared about her as if she was his younger sister and he had never led her on.
However, how could she not fall in love with such an outstanding boy like him who took such good care of her?
Miranda took a deep breath and tucked away the jealousy and loss deep in her heart. She dragged her luggage and chased after them. "Johan, did Sierra really faint?"
Johan's shot over with his cold gaze. That was the first time ever that Miranda had seen such a terrifying look in Johan's eyes, making her feel like she had never known him before.
Miranda did not dare to say anything more. She silently followed behind until Johan handed Sierra over to the doctor. She tried to talk to him again and said, "Johan, what happened to Sierra?"
"Miranda Attwood, do you know why I came to pick you up today?" Johan enunciated her full name, his voice downright cold.
Johan's unwelcoming attitude made Miranda tremble in fear. She called out, "Johan..."
"Miranda, the reason I came to pick
you up is to tell you that you are now an adult and you've gotten what you wanted. You can now support yourself so you'll have nothing else to do with the Silas family from now on
