"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 fi

    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

    Isaac wore a gray suit. With his glasses on, he looked somewhat scholarly. "Ignore him. He's just a showoff.""Who are you calling a showoff, you uptight fake gentleman?" Gary shot back at once.Isaac only glanced at him and said nothing.To Gary, that was basically a challenge, and he looked ready to start a fight right there.Maxwell took the initiative to speak to Sierra. "Are you getting used to Harbor City?" "It's alright." Sierra answered politely. When other people treated her with courtesy, she gave the same in return."When you have time, bring Aunt Anna home for a visit," Maxwell said. "No matter what happened back then, the King family will always be your home."Sierra said nothing.The King family could never be home, but Maxwell's attitude was so mild that she couldn't exactly yell at him. Instead, she let the topic pass with silence and a faint smile.A little later, a server brought over the fruit juice and champagne and set them in front of her within easy rea

    "I haven't met them in person, but what they did is pretty well known in our social circle." Holly explained about Brad and Jessica. She knew Sierra was not usually interested in gossip, so she had to do the full explanation. "They tried to create a rift between the Chapman siblings, but it blew up in their faces."Sierra nodded and understood what Holly said.She had heard some of the Chapman family's situation from her mother. There were only two children in the youngest generation of the Chapman family, an older son and a younger daughter. Everyone in their circle knew that Opal and her brother Gary didn't get along. Brad and Jessica had most likely tried to curry favor with him by stepping on Opal. After all, the CEO of Chapman Group held more weight than Opal, who rarely appeared in the office. They hadn't expected the siblings to only look hostile on the surface. The moment an outsider showed up, Gary and Opal united."Be careful around them from now on," Holly remind

    "No," Holly said at once."I'm going with whatever she said," Sierra added.Brad and Jessica exchanged a look before finally saying, "Our situations are pretty similar, so I hope we can work together."Sierra looked confused, and so did Holly."People have been saying Cyrus and Nathan gave you very expensive birthday gifts, but nobody knows whether they really meant it or were just putting on a show," Brad said slowly.Sierra asked, "What are you trying to say?""The King family and the Lynch family are both old-money powerhouses. A child suddenly showing up out of nowhere damages the family's image," Brad said, as if he had already seen through everything. "To maintain their image, they might easily reframe things like 'illegitimate daughter' or 'the child of the daughter they disowned' as a precious, long-lost treasure that was lost years ago."Sierra said nothing. She could already tell where he was going."The sons and daughters of the four major families already have their

    Sierra had no idea John had come looking for her.After spending some time in the banquet hall with Holly, she stepped out onto the lawn and found a quieter spot.She had barely sat down when a well-dressed young man and woman walked over. Both looked to be in their twenties, and they seemed to be brother and sister."Are you Sierra?" the man asked.Sierra still nodded despite her confusion. "Yes."The man pulled over a chair and sat across from her. His voice had a slight note of mockery. "I heard you're Cyrus's granddaughter and Nathan's biological daughter. Is that true?"Holly could tell right away that neither of them meant well. "Does it being true or not matter to you? Why don't you introduce yourselves first before meddling in other people's private business?""I'm talking to her. Why are you cutting in?" The man's attitude was terrible."I was talking to a dog. Why are you getting so upset?" Holly shot back.The man was angered at once. "You!"The woman tugged his ar

    Overwhelmed by John's presence, everyone left the conference room without lingering any longer.In just a short while, only John, Sierra, and Pamela were left.Sierra remained frozen in the posture of someone about to leave. When she looked at him, her face carried no trace of the old attachment,

    Kenneth decided the only explanation was that both John and Eagon were all a little unwell in the head. That was why he could not make sense of what they were doing. That was right… That had to be it!Kenneth left Henderson Group with a strange feeling in his heart, thoughts churning.Before tha

    "Up to you," John said to Pamela; he clearly had no interest in this.Pamela double-checked. "Then, I'm going now?""Yeah."John might be working at Origin Games now, but he still had to handle things at Henderson Group. Robin could manage everything here just fine. Still… John planned to stay

    "Alright." Sierra went along with Jenny, her eyes gleaming. "Thank you, Sis."Jenny stayed as calm as ever. "Focus on your work."Sierra nodded. "Okay."That morning, Sierra made a few subtle tweaks to the piece Jenny had mentioned, then went back to finishing the rest of the illustration. Once s
