เข้าสู่ระบบSierra stayed in the master bedroom for a while, her thoughts drifting back to John's life now. Ever since she had known him, there were always several people taking care of his daily needs. Mr. Rogers, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Lewis, and several other servants as well as private chefs for the major cuisines.He was used to villas and estates surrounded by flowers and greenery. To him, all that green meant life.So why was he living in an apartment now?It could not be about money. What he made in a month was enough to buy a whole villa.As she thought about it, she took out her phone to look something up. Before she could open the browser, she saw a message from Kenneth. [Are you free this afternoon?]Her fingers tapped on the phone. [I am, but not for long.]She still had to review the projects in Jade City and the neighboring city. If she had time, she would write two bid proposals for the tenders. If she got too busy, she would only do one.Kenneth quickly sent a voice message.
"Don't let your pity make you forget everything that happened before," Marcus added when he saw Sierra looking at him with a confused look.Sierra looked at him, even more curious. "So… Who hurt you?""I'm still single to this day. No one has ever hurt me," Marcus said."Then where did all this experience come from?" Sierra asked."A real master prepares in advance before trouble comes knocking," Marcus said in the same rigid tone as always. "I have read books and watched shows. I have also summed up the experiences of countless people."Sierra blinked at him a few more times.Marcus asked, "If I were a husband, what score would you give me?""I don't know." Sierra answered honestly instead of making assumptions. "I'm not your wife, so I can't score you.""Then imagine I'm your husband." Marcus seemed unusually stubborn about it. "What score would I get?"Sierra looked at him suspiciously. "Do you have a woman you like?"Marcus said nothing.Sierra made a bold guess. "Or a m
If Danny and Agnes could be that cruel to a young boy, how could they possibly be decent people?"Marcus, see them out." Something clutched tight in Sierra's chest.Marcus moved at once.Danny and Agnes wanted to say something, but Marcus forced them into the car.Danny's driver did not want to leave, but the moment he felt the pressure coming from Marcus, he obediently started the car and drove away. It slowly disappeared from Sierra's sight."Now that she has found her real father, she thinks she is untouchable." Danny couldn't let go of his anger. No one had ever treated him like this in all these years. "She was always meek when she met us in the past.""I really don't get it. Why did you go looking for her?" Agnes could not understand it at all."If she really is the daughter of the Lynch family and also tied to the King family, especially when both were of Harbor City, then she could bring us great value." Danny's eyes were filled with calculatedness."No matter how valua
"What kind of attitude is that?" Agnes snapped at Sierra immediately, her expression dark. "Is that how the Bell family taught you any manners?"Sierra said nothing and simply shot Marcus a look.Before Marcus could make a move, Danny said, "What Agnes said was a little harsh, so don't take it too seriously. We came to see you about something important."Sierra did not believe they had anything important to say. Setting aside all their past conflicts, what she had heard yesterday and what Kenneth had told her made it impossible for her to speak to either of them calmly."What is your relationship with Harbor City's King family and the Lynch family?" Danny asked bluntly."Why are you asking?" Sierra met his eyes, her expression even colder and more distant than before.Danny glanced around. "Can we go inside and talk?""No." Sierra refused without hesitation. "We're not close enough for me to invite you into my home. You can say whatever you want to say here."When she was going
"Call the doctor for me," John said to Kenneth as he lay back down on the bed. No one knew what he was thinking.Kenneth went at once.Before long, Dr. Jackson, John's attending physician, arrived. He wore a white coat, and his gentle expression made him look kind and mild.He walked to the bedside and asked, "Mr. Gomez said you were asking for me?""How long until I can be discharged?" John asked."At least a week." Dr. Jackson was in his thirties, and his medical skills were top notch. "If you want to fully recover, that depends on how well you cooperate.""Got it." John kept his emotions in check.Kenneth waited outside the room. When Dr. Jackson came out, he immediately glanced inside and asked, "How is it?""He only asked how long until he can be discharged," Dr. Jackson replied."You didn't take the chance to persuade him to get psychological treatment?" Kenneth had always cared deeply about that. Back then, it was because of what had happened in John's youth. Now, it
"Now that you've figured things out, spend the next few days talking things through with Sierra." Kenneth patted John's shoulder. "Even if you can't be husband and wife anymore, you can still be friends. Don't act like enemies."John said nothing. They had come dangerously close to becoming enemies."If anything feels off, tell the doctor right away," Kenneth said, unusually serious. "Don't try to push through it. You're not just the CEO of Henderson Group. You're Tommy's father too.""Where's Solomon?" John asked."I don't know." Kenneth was telling the truth. "Either he's doing everything he can to bring you down and take your spot as CEO of Henderson Group, or he's getting close to Sierra and planning to use her against you."John took out his phone and sent Robin a message.When he finished, Kenneth pressed on. "So how are you planning to win Sierra back?""Finished with your own company's business?" John asked instead.Kenneth stared at him. "Don't tell me you're still p
John and Pamela chatted for a while longer when John received a message from Kenneth.[They're here. I'm going to deal with them first. If anything comes up, call me.]John's fingers moved, and he replied, [Alright.]After reading the response, Kenneth put his phone away and fixed his attention o
"I really can't stand how fake he is," Kenneth said to John, feeling a chill down his spine after getting that look from Solomon. "He's thinking about getting rid of you every single day, but every time he talks to you, he plays the role of the doting big brother.""That's how he survives." John di
"Is he with you at the Origin Games' tenth anniversary party?" Pamela's voice kept echoing from Sierra's phone. "Can you help me find him? I feel really sick right now and kind of awful.""How much are you paying?" Sierra asked. She was so used to this move from Pamela that she could handle Pamela
Everyone exchanged a look.Sierra's competence at work was beyond question. For a moment, every gaze landed on Randy. Everyone realized how easily one comment from another could sway their judgment on Sierra."I was just saying whatever came to mind. Why are you taking it so seriously?" Randy said
