LOGINSierra was right on the money about what was happening. That was what Loren and Charlie were thinking, too. In their eyes, if Sierra knew when to stop and gave up on the shares, they would also stop targeting her and even give her some money every year.However, if she refused to back down, they would have no choice but to use some other methods.Sure enough, as evening approached, Loren called to ask how things had gone.The result..."You couldn't even handle something this minor," Loren said. The moment he heard the full report, his mood soured. "What good are you?""I planned everything carefully. How was I supposed to know there would be a man at Sierra's side who'd jump out and pretend to be one of ours?" The person on the other end also felt that he couldn't be blamed for this. "That was what ruined the plan."A thoughtful look crossed Loren's face. He didn't even have anyone around him who could react that fast, yet Sierra did. Had his aunt arranged that? Or Nathan? Or
Sierra glanced at Marcus in the passenger seat when Tony said that. "Marcus won't let anything happen to me."A hint of surprise appeared in Tony's eyes. Meanwhile, Marcus instantly felt better already. Just as he thought, he was still the one his boss cared the most."Don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll keep you safe," Marcus said in his usual formal tone, making his position clear. "I won't give Tony the slightest chance to take advantage of anything.""Sure." Sierra trusted him."You really do trust him." There was something unreadable in Tony's voice.Marcus glanced at him.Tony's expression did not change as he still looked completely at ease."You can trust me the way you trust him," he said as he drove. "I knew those two women were working with that man because I have excellent observation skills and very sharp instincts."Sierra looked at Marcus. Marcus knew Tony far better than she did, since he was usually the one around him."The first half should not be bel
Marcus then said, "As your bodyguard, assistant, and driver, I don't want to lose my job. I hope you'll get it together and focus on your career. Don't let other people's opinions or words get to you."Sierra said nothing. At that moment, she truly understood that the more serious someone like Marcus looked, the sharper his words could be."Turn around up ahead," Sierra said, changing the subject. "We're picking up Tony."Marcus frowned. He couldn't understand the decision. Why did they need to pick up Tony? Did he not have legs? Could he not find his own way back?Those were his thoughts, true. But for the sake of his paycheck, he still turned the car around and headed for the police station. Just before they got there, he said, "Miss."Sierra was looking down at her phone as she replied to messages. "Yeah?""Don't spoil your employees too much," Marcus said seriously. "They'll start pushing their luck.""Alright," Sierra said."Right," Marcus replied.Sierra then said, "From
"I don't know," Marcus said honestly when Sierra asked if he and Tony planned this."Then why were you filming?" Sierra asked."As evidence," Marcus said. "If Tony was injured, the video could make the man pay his medical bills. If Tony subdued him, it would prove that the man committed a crime first."Only then did Sierra realize how quick both Marcus and Tony were on their feet. Tony, especially. The second that middle-aged man rushed over, he reacted without hesitation and called out "Dad" right away.He even fooled her, his boss.With that thought in mind, she texted Tony and told him to cooperate with the police and call her if he needed anything.Right after she sent it, Maxwell came in from outside. He looked even sterner and more distant than usual in his black suit. The moment he saw her, he said, "I'll explain to you what happened out there.""Alright." Sierra did not refuse."For now, this is the company's organizational chart and the management team's profiles." Max
The middle-aged man was about to argue back.Suddenly, Tony lowered his voice and said quietly, "Something came up. The plan is off."The man froze and stared at him.Tony went on, "I'll shove you over to those two in a minute. Tell them exactly what I said."The man was stunned. So, had this guy really been sent by the boss?"Miss, go on up first." Tony gave them a look. "I'll come up after I deal with my family matters.""Do you need help?" Sierra's thoughts were still in a mess after what had just happened."It's fine." Tony refused at once. "I can handle it."Sierra played along. "Call me if you need anything."Tony nodded. "Alright."Sierra and Marcus looked back every few steps, but in the end, they walked into King Group's entrance.Tony looked at the three people still standing there in a daze. First, he waved the crowd away. Then, he turned to the three of them."Didn't you just call and say the plan was still on?" The middle-aged man no longer looked deranged. He
Charlie had to consider both their own safety and benefits. There was no point in losing one's life after getting their hands on the wealth, or vice versa."Alright." Loren understood Charlie's concerns and did not press his father. "But don't take too long to think it over. We need time to set everything up."Charlie's eyes darkened. "I know."Loren stood up and headed for the door.Charlie looked at his back and asked, "Will John find out about this?""No." Loren would plan everything carefully before making a move and built in several layers of separation. "At most, he'll find out that the branch family has a problem with Sierra existing. He will not be able to trace it back to us.""Good." Charlie felt slightly relieved.More than forty minutes later, Sierra arrived at King Group.After parking the car, Tony thoughtfully opened the door for her and even made a gentlemanly gesture. "Miss, we have arrived."Marcus scoffed. "Show-off."Tony rolled his eyes as Sierra stepped
"I saw it with my own eyes!" Cindy sounded completely sure of herself as she accused Sierra of being a mistress in front of their colleagues.By now, the casual gossip had turned unpleasant. The ones who had only been idly curious turned their attention back to their screens. Whether they were st
"Of course." Pamela formed her lips into an apologetic smile, sounding completely sincere. "Sierra, I'm sorry. I didn't know Cindy would misunderstand what I said. I apologize."Sierra didn't even look at Pamela. She knew Pamela had done it on purpose, but there had been no real loss or harm. The
Sierra froze as she heard what Danny said. "What?"A bad feeling rose in her chest. "Morgan, I never said I was taking time off.""I'm giving you two days off," Morgan said. "Use the time to talk through things with them."He could tell where the wind was blowing. It wasn't worth sacrificing Orig
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 questio
