Chapter 199

Author: Ink the Seventh
Sierra lifted her head and met John's gaze.

There was nothing between her and Solomon, but being stared at like that still made her feel on edge.

John set his helmet on the motorcycle and walked toward her, his steps steady and powerful. Even in the dark, his black eyes were so intense they made her want to run. He simply watched her from a short distance away.

He didn't move or look away.

"You're here," Solomon greeted John, his tone as calm as ever.

John took in how close the two of them were standing.

Sierra instinctively took a step to the side to create some distance.

When she realized what she was doing, her expression shifted slightly. She didn't do anything wrong, so why did she feel guilty?

"Where's Kenneth?" John opened his mouth, his tone distant and cold as he addressed Solomon. "What did you do to him?"

"Is that why you came?" Solomon asked, a trace of amusement in his eyes.

John did not answer. "None of your business."

"He's on the second floor, talking to my

    "Digging up information and dealing with people face to face are two different things," Lucy said to Kenneth bluntly. "You won't get it, so I won't hold it against you."She left both Kenneth and John, not caring about what the two were thinking. As soon as she walked out of the bar, waved down a cab and climbed in.She leaned back, her mind stuck on what she had just found out.The disturbing images that had flashed across the screen.The name.Both matched everything about her mentor.If Anna really was the person Lucy had known online for nearly a decade, then what had happened after she vanished that made her change her name? Had she buried the past because it hurt too much? Or because she didn't want anyone to find out? If Lucy broke through that last layer of protection...All kinds of thoughts appeared in her mind.In the end, she decided to talk to Sierra the next day. She would decide whether to crack the defenses and pull the data out after that.Lucy's sudden exit

    "If you can breach through my company's defenses," John said to Lucy, perfectly calm in the face of her threat to move his company's funds. Lucy went quiet. She regretted building him such an impenetrable defense system. Now, even she would have a hard time cracking it."Anna's files are buried by a really skilled hacker," Lucy said, running through the facts again. She wasn't sure if Kenneth had mentioned it. "If I force my way through, it'll take about two hours."In the past, it might have been beyond her.But now? Easy as pie."Fine." John stayed put and waited.Time slowly passed them by.In the private room, the only sound was Lucy's fingers on the keyboard. Kenneth sat there, torn between staying and leaving. No one was drinking, and no one was talking either.It was so boring!But… He was the one who had asked them out."John." Kenneth thought it over and decided he wanted to chat. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing. "What are you going to do about Origin

    "Sure. See you then," Sierra said to Jubilee.After she hung up, she checked her calendar.One month was neither too long nor too short, and there were only a few days left. It was time to confirm the day they would finalize the divorce. She had a job now, which meant she had to plan for taking a one-day leave.As all sorts of thoughts were in her mind, she texted John. [Are you free on Thursday?]When John saw the message, he had just gotten home. He knew exactly why she was asking and chose not to respond.By evening, Sierra still had no answer. Her mind drifted back to what Nicholas had asked her earlier.What if John refuses to get divorced?The thought that it could become reality made her uneasy. After dinner with Tommy, she called John again. She skipped any greeting and went straight to it after he picked up. "Did you see the message I sent you?"John was at a bar with Kenneth and Lucy. He glanced at his drink and didn't bother lying. "I saw it."Then why didn't yo

    John left almost at the same time as the police. When he reached the ground floor, he didn't drive off. Instead, he sat in his car and stared up at the high-rise where Sierra lived.A little over ten minutes later, Robin arrived. "Boss.""Are the results in?" John asked."They are." Robin handed him a folder. "Multiple agencies confirmed it. Lucas is not Ms. Bell's biological father. They're not related by blood."John flipped through the pages.Robin was right. Sierra was not Lucas's daughter."Want me to track down Ms. Bell's biological father?" Robin asked."No need." John's voice stayed faint. Once they had clarified Anna's situation, information about Sierra's father would surface on its own. He paused for a moment, then asked, "When did Anna and Lucas get married?""They registered in April. Less than five months after Ms. Bell's birthday," Robin said. That meant Lucas had most likely known Anna was already pregnant."I dug a little deeper. On the surface, it looks

    John walked over and stopped right in front of Tom. "Hasn't your dad ever taught you not to call the cops while the bad guy's still standing in front of you?""No," Tommy said with a serious expression on his boyish face. "He's with other women every day. He doesn't have time for me."John gritted his teeth and reached out to pinch his cheek. "You start lying the second you open your mouth. I don't remember your mom ever teaching you that."Tommy's brows furrowed together as he closed his eyes. "Ouuuuch!""What are you doing?" Sierra grabbed John's hand and yanked it away.Feeling her rare and instinctive touch, John's eyes fell to her slender fingers. The words came out of his mouth before he could stop them. "I don't think a victim would just grab the bad guy's hand like that."Sierra went silent.Tommy shut up, too.Tommy didn't expect him to be in the mood for that, and he couldn't hold himself back from muttering, "You're so shameless.""If I wasn't, how do you think yo

    John was calm. So calm that even after Pamela asked that question, there wasn't a flicker of emotion on his face.That reaction was enough to terrify Pamela."As long as I haven't committed a capital crime, the only person who gets to decide my life is me," John said, his voice low. "Even if you saved me back then, you still don't have that right."Pamela's fingers curled tighter. She felt as though a boulder was slowly crushing her chest. She found John's line of thought terrifyingly rational, almost like a madman."Anything else?" John asked."No." That one simple word was enough to drain the strength out of Pamela. "You can go."John nodded and gave her a simple hum before leaving.Pamela watched him walk away. Her heart should have been dead by now, but her love only twisted into something more obsessive.A voice kept looping in her mind. 'What Sierra can have, you have it too. He just doesn't love you because he met Sierra first. If Sierra is gone, he'll finally be able
