Chapter 218

Author: Ink the Seventh
That afternoon, Sierra asked around the company to see if anyone wanted to buy the dishwasher voucher at a discount.

After the post sat there for about half an hour with no replies, she put the dishwasher model up on a secondhand platform. The original price was around three thousand dollars, and she listed it for two thousand five hundred dollars.

She had no use for it, so she might as well sell it for some cash.

"You're really selling it?" Jenny asked after seeing the post.

"Yeah. I don't need it anyway," Sierra said.

Jenny pursed her lips but did not say anything in the end.

News of this reached John at Henderson Group very quickly.

John pulled up Sierra's post on the message board for Origin Games. His eyes grew darker as he stared at it, and he only snapped out of it when Robin called him on the phone.

"Boss."

"What is it?" John held his phone, his tone low.

"Ms. Bell went to see Solomon at the hospital this afternoon," Robin reported. "They talked for more than ten mi

    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

    Pamela could feel real fear creeping inside of her as her conversation with John continued."What about you?" John didn't like anyone testing his bottom line repeatedly. "Do you still remember the three rules we set at the beginning?"Pamela fell silent.She had no idea how to answer that question.After a long time, she knew nothing she said would help. She switched tactics. "I'm sorry that I didn't think it through. I promise I won't make the same mistake again.""Your special treatment ends here," John said suddenly. "From now on, the only relationship there's left between us is between the person who saved and the person who was saved."Pamela's pupils dilated, and her eyes opened wide. The words hit her like thunder. "What did you just say...?""I'm John Henderson. I'm not your boyfriend, and definitely not your husband." He had always known certain things she did behind his back, but he had never interfered because of the promise he had made. "I hope you can keep the dis

    John leaned away without a word.Pamela's hand, about to pull his, froze in the middle of the air.Her unease grew. The heavy air in the room left her mind scrambling, and she bit her lip. "Say something, alright? It really scares me when you're like this.""Scared?" John didn't react.Pamela couldn't read the expression on his face.She nodded. "Yes."John's voice stayed flat. "If you're so scared, why are you still brave enough to work with Solomon?"Pamela's heart skipped a beat. Remembering how badly the two brothers got along, she denied it immediately. "I didn't work with him. We just ran into each other and talked for a bit.""Then explain what happened on Wednesday night," John said."I..." Pamela didn't expect him to bring it up that bluntly. "I just wanted you to keep me company. I didn't want you to say I'm important when you actually ignore me.""I already gave you the chance." John's eyes were dark. "You refused it."Confusion flickered in Pamela's eyes. She d

    Lucy stared at the blank screen with a frown. "Huh."Kenneth caught the shift in her expression. "What is it?""The records for Sierra's mom were scrubbed by an extremely skilled hacker," Lucy said.She stopped her fingers on the keyboard, then propped her chin on her hand. She stared at the blank page.For some reason, the blank page felt familiar. It was like she already knew what was coming. Something like a nasty gore image, meant to scare her off.The instant the thought landed, the page flashed, and the exact kind of picture she expected filled the screen."Holy moly!" Kenneth jerked back, staring at the bloody, gruesome image. He rubbed his arms. "Why'd you pull that up out of nowhere?!""It's just a picture." Lucy closed the laptop and stopped the investigation. "Do you really have to be that scared?""And you tell me you weren't scared?" Kenneth's voice trailed off when he realized she hadn't even flinched just now."Hey, where are you going?" he called after her. "

    Kenneth listened to the silence on the other end for a long time before finally speaking. "That's the whole conversation?"Lucy tapped a few keys on the keyboard and pulled up another application. When she saw the small blue dot moving across the screen, she answered without hesitation. "Yeah. Sierra's leaving the hospital."Kenneth glanced at the man beside him on instinct.The pressure in the atmosphere was gone, and the chill had eased. Even John looked a little warmer than before."I really don't get it," Lucy said as she closed the laptop, nosy as ever. "You still want a divorce when your wife is someone as nice as Sierra. Do you secretly like men or something?"John raised his eyes and said, "Who said I wanted a divorce?"Kenneth froze.Lucy blinked."She's the one who brought it up." John kept his voice calm, but his heart had warmed after hearing what Sierra had to say. "I'm just letting her vent.""Sierra isn't venting," Kenneth reminded him. "Today is the eighth.
