Upon learning of Brady’s arrest by the police that morning, Sierra swiftly booked the latest flight and hurried back to Violetholt.
The situation was graver than she had anticipated, leaving her in a state of confusion. Upon encountering Rita, Sierra sought
solace by throwing herself into Rita’s arms, tearfully pleading, “What are we going to do? You have to help me!”
Rita, bewildered, comforted Sierra by patting her back and inquiring, “What’s going on, Sierra?”
Sierra explained, “It’s because of Sabrina. She went to great lengths to seduce Blayze, and he’s genuinely captivated by her.
Brady found out and tried to teach her a lesson. Now he’s been arrested by the police. I can’t go to jail...”
“Don’t cry. Let’s sit down and talk,” Rita suggested, guiding Sierra to the sofa.
“Have you met Sabrina before?”
Sierra wiped her tears and nodded.
“I met her once in Mathias. Later, I found out she knew Blayze. She was his student and traveled with him to different places
during holidays...”
Rita’s expression shifted, and she asked, “Are you being truthful?
Did they go out together?”
The prospect of the Fowler family inevitably falling under Blayze’s ownership loomed in Rita’s mind. Aware of her own limitations
and Nicol’s delicate condition, she acknowledged her inability to beat Blayze directly. Consequently, she strategically refrained
from opposing Blayze, making efforts to cultivate a positive rapport between Nicol and Blayze.
Yet, Rita felt these efforts were insufficient.
To secure her standing, Rita extended her social circles to include all the noble ladies in Violetholt, despite knowing that many of
them despised her. Rita understood that Blayze’s future wife would Likely emerge from this pool of women.
However, the puzzle of Blayze’s disinterest in marriage perplexed Rita. Blayze, as an adult, displayed indifference toward the
noble girls of his age, and there were no women in his immediate vicinity.

Rita found this aspect of his character confusing.
The revelation that Blayze might have taken a stroll elsewhere with Sabrina struck a chord with Rita. It suggested a unique
connection that went beyond the ordinary.
“It’s true! In an attempt to justify herself and Brady’s actions, Sierra resorted to tarnishing Sabrina’s image by adding, “When
Sabrina visited Violetholt in the middle of the month, Blayze introduced her to Derek and others. Brady got to know her, but later,
he realized she was a bad woman. Brady tried to persuade Blayze to stay away from Sabrina, but Blayze just dismissed it and
scolded Brady. Left with no choice, Brady had to...”
Lost in thought, Rita contemplated the unfolding drama. She didn’t expect Sabrina to be at the center of affection from Tyrone
and Blayze.
The notion of Sabrina becoming Blayze’s wife, however, was something Rita couldn’t accept. No way in hell! She wouldn’t allow
it!
Observing Rita’s silence, Sierra, with a hint of desperation, implored, “You’ve got to help me, Rita.”
Rita snapped back to reality, her voice a gentle murmur, “You were quick to pin it on Brady, remember? If the cops aren’t sniffing
around you, you’re in the clear. No need to stress.”
Sierra’s heart raced, anxiety etched across her face.
“But what if he decides to unload his guilt on me at the police station? And the Garretts... What if they start pointing fingers my
way? Will Horace throw me under the bus to keep the peace between the two families?”
Brady wasn’t on Sierra’s worry list. His love for her was unwavering.
