MasukJohn had plenty of methods up his sleeves. Back then, when someone made a few nasty remarks about Sierra behind his back, he had Forde and Lance handle it that same night and beat them up.Pamela had pretended to be the person who saved him and caused this much trouble. There was no way he was going to let her off that easily."It's not going to be easy. He has already spent more than tens of millions on Ms. Sanders. If he sues her for fraud, she'll probably spend the rest of her life in prison," Robin said as he drove.Kenneth thought it through.That was true.The villa at Lakeside Villa alone was worth approximately ten million, not to mention everything else she had asked John for. He had given her all of it because he believed she had saved his life.After they finished talking about Pamela, Kenneth dragged the conversation back to the earlier topic. "Do you really plan to divorce Sierra?"John said nothing as he did not want to talk about it at all."You'd better think
John kept looking in the direction Sierra had gone.Robin watched his face grow paler and finally said, "You still have to go back to Jade City tomorrow. You should return to the hospital and get that wound fixed first."John gave a faint nod.Robin left with John. With so many people around, he did not hold John. He was worried someone would use this against him.Sierra watched them the whole time. Even though John showed no obvious sign that anything was wrong, she knew his wound was most likely bleeding again.But this was something that had to be said sooner or later.Better to say it all at once."Sierra?" Holly walked over and called her name several times.Sierra only came back to herself after John left the ballroom.Holly could tell something was wrong. She tried to look at what Sierra was looking at, but saw nothing. "What did Maxwell say to you? Why do you look so pale?""That obvious?" Sierra asked."That obvious." Holly nodded.Sierra lowered her eyes and hid t
"Let her go." John's emotionless voice suddenly rang out, and all three of them looked at him at once. Kenneth was still holding Sierra's wrist, while Robin was simply looking at John. "John…" Kenneth mumbled.John walked over, pried Kenneth's hand away, then took Sierra's hand and moved her behind him before glaring at Kenneth. "What are you doing?"Kenneth was genuinely worried. "You...""She's not someone you can trouble, whether now or in the future." John's face gave nothing away.But Sierra and Robin knew him too well. They could both tell that right now, he was simply holding himself together through sheer willpower and not by what he really felt.After that, John turned to Sierra behind him. "What you said just now...""I meant it," Sierra said.His hand tightened slightly around hers. "You won't change your mind?""I won't." Sierra shook her head."Alright," John said. "When you have time, let me know. I'll go back to Jade City with you and take care of it.""Tom
John was about to ask about something when Sierra cut him off first. "It was me."His brows furrowed at once, and he rejected it immediately.The girl who had saved him that day had been left with a scar on her thigh. Sierra's skin was smooth, without a mark on her."I know what you're thinking. I had the scar removed in the hospital when I was in university," Sierra said calmly. "If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor who did the treatment at the time."John dismissed it without hesitation. "This isn't funny."But Sierra went on. "Pamela couldn't tell you what I was wearing that day, could she? Because when I told Holly about it, I left out those details. They didn't matter. But I remember. I was wearing a pink princess dress, and my hair was styled like a princess's too. I got that scar on my leg while I was dragging you to shore."Sierra told him everything that had happened that day.She knew he had to remember. He had always cared so much about that childhood p
From the look on John's face, Sierra could tell that Kenneth hadn't told him that Pamela had stolen her identity. "Besides, what happened back then had really happened. I can't pretend it was all just a dream."Even if it had only been a nightmare, she still would be a little mad at him, let alone this was something that had actually happened. "It'll be better for both of us if we end this on good terms.""I won't agree to that." The moment John found out Pamela was not the person who saved him, he became even more determined not to let Sierra leave. "And don't even think about leaving me."Sierra had never felt so calm. "Why don't you understand yet?"John's gaze darkened.Sierra said, "Pamela is gone, but have you ever thought about whose identity she stole? If that person came to you and made the same demand she made, would you refuse her?"She was trying to make him see himself clearly, and at the same time testing his attitude for her own sake. If he still chose to keep
"No," Sierra refused without hesitation. She had wondered why Maxwell had seemed so polite at first. So, this was it. He had only maintained some courtesy before getting serious.Maxwell's expression did not change. His voice was as cold as winter. "I'm not joking. With your ability, you're not qualified to inherit those shares. The sooner you give them up, the better it will be for everyone.""Whether I'm capable is for me to decide. It has nothing to do with you." Sierra stayed calm and firm."As compensation, if you give up those shares, I can transfer ten million dollars to your account every year." Maxwell named his price with the ease of someone used to being in control. "You can stay out of the family's power struggle, and I can save myself the trouble.""I want the shares, but not because of money." Sierra meant every word.If money had been what mattered to her, she never would have asked John for a divorce in the first place. To her, some things mattered more than mone
John Henderson sat in the chair in the CEO's office, impeccably dressed, calm and composed. When they walked in, his steady gaze swept over everyone one by one, then paused on Sierra before moving on almost at once.In that instant, Sierra's good mood for the entire day vanished. No matter how sh
There was no time for Nicholas to think about what had just happened. When he saw John walking farther away with Sierra in his arms, he immediately followed him. It was late at night, Sierra was drunk, and there was no guarantee John would not take advantage of her.John noticed but did not stop
John's gaze grew darker as he watched what was happening with Sierra.Morgan sensed the strange atmosphere between them and took the risk. "Mr. Henderson, I'll give you and Sierra…I mean, Ms. Bell some space. I need to take a call outside."John hummed in agreement.Morgan then shot the others a
John frowned quietly as he looked at what Sierra was doing.Sierra lifted the tall red wineglass, filled to the brim with strong wine. "Do you want to check whether this is water?""Come here." John's voice was low.Sierra walked over obediently and handed him the glass.He took it and set it as
