Chapter 36 Kneeling for Mercy

Sierra's eyes were empty.
She looked at the man she had once loved, feeling very unfamiliar. She even doubted whether she had ever really understood him. Otherwise, how could he be so cruel?
Olivia didn't even dare to kill a chicken; how could she dare to hold a knife? Clearly it was Roger who provoked her with his words and set her up!
Sierra spoke softly: "Roger, please let me go. I beg you."
Just as Roger was about to say something, Sierra knelt down in front of him... Olivia woke up slightly at that moment and made strange sounds from her mouth as if trying to stop Sierra.
But Sierra refused to get up; she knelt straight before him. Tears filled her eyes and washed away any remaining clarity in them. Her voice trembled as she said: "Mr. Harris, Mr. Harris... In the past when I was young and foolish, I dated you without knowing my limits or boundaries... Now I beg you on account of our past relationship - please spare my father and Olivia... Please!"
Her humility brought Olivia to tears.
How could this be happening?
How could Sierra kneel before this beast?
Sierra remained still; there was stubbornness in her gaze as she looked at Roger...
They had been together for four years - how could he not know her?
Sierra may have a soft personality but there is also some stubbornness within her character. She used to love him deeply but now here she is kneeling before him just so that they can part ways!
Roger gritted his teeth angrily and asked back: "What if I don't let them go? What will you do then?"
Sierra clenched her fists tightly: "Aren't you afraid that I'll expose your true face in front of the Howard family? Aren't you afraid that my whole family will come after you? Aren't you afraid that Eric will help me?"
Mentioning Eric made Roger's wounds hurt even more!
He was extremely violent! Until now, Sierra had finally seen the real Roger...
Roger walked over while enduring the pain and pulled Sierra towards him.
He gently stroked her face with his hand and spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "Come back to me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I'll do... For example, letting Olivia go to jail for ten or eight years on charges of assault. Or maybe having George Adler..."
A slap landed on his face!
Sierra was shaking with anger: "You're not human!"
He grabbed her arm tightly!
Roger coldly said against her face: "Only realizing this today? When you liked me, did you ever say that before? Did you forget how red your face got when waiting for me to kiss you... Sierra, didn't you say that I was the most handsome man in the world at that time? Do I need to remind you?"
Olivia struggled desperately against him.
Roger let go of Sierra and ordered security guards to restrain Olivia. He spat out cold words from his thin lips: "Call the police and tell them Ms. Ruan attacked me intentionally causing harm!"
Sierra held onto his hand.
But he shook it off forcefully; he licked the blood off his lips lightly and said: "Sierra, now you've really made me angry!"
In the distance came sirens getting closer by the second.
Sierra's small face turned pale.
Roger won - he was despicable and cruel; a beast!
She closed her eyes then opened them again as she spoke softly: "Please don't be angry. Let me apologize to you on behalf of Olivia."
Roger sat down gently on the sofa then reached out his hand towards Sierra's bloody one. She lifted it up slowly and handed it over to him.
