“You raised Sierra to become a human trafficker! Do you think your brother would be proud of what you have done? I've decided. Nicol will go to boarding school! Stay away from him," Horace cautioned.

Horace didn't want Rita near Nicol anymore, fearing a negative influence.

Rita's heart skipped a beat as she pleaded, "Horace, please. Nicol is still so young, and he has asthma. He needs me!"

"He'll be fine with the nanny around. He's not a young child anymore.

It's time for him to learn to be independent."

Horace strode forward, saying, "We're going back, and tomorrow we will apologize to the Blakely family. Don't even think about trying to post bail for Sierra. The case is serious, and the authorities are monitoring it closely."

Rita opened her mouth but didn't dare say more.

As she hurried to keep up with Horace, memories of Sierra clinging to her arm flooded back, tears streaming down her face. Rita's heart ached for Sierra.

Rita had left Sabrina alone and never bothered to take a look at the latter, let alone take care of her. With Sierra's parents' passing, Rita had raised Sierra as her own, treating her like a daughter for many years. The idea of seeing Sierra go to jail was unbearable for her.

Faced with Horace's reluctance to help Sierra, she had to consider alternative plans.

Sabrina took the time to go to the police station. Learning that Sierra was the mastermind behind kidnapping her didn't come as a surprise to her.

A police officer said to Sabrina in a low voice, "Miss Chavez, don't worry. It's a significant case. Even if Sierra has connections, she won't get away with it."

Sabrina nodded her appreciation.

“Thank you."

“By the way, Sierra mentioned wanting to see you if you came."

Sabrina hesitated but decided.

"Can you take me to see her?"

Sabrina wanted to understand why Sierra harbored such intense animosity toward her. What did she do to have Sierra hate her to the point of kidnapping her and wanting to sell her away?

"You have only ten minutes."

“Thank you."
