"Not important, huh?" Nicholas said as he caught the word Sierra used.Sierra frowned slightly, still finding it hard to believe she might not be Lucas's biological daughter with Anna.She had photos from every year of her life, from infancy to adulthood. Her dad had always said he had pursued her mom for a long time before finally winning her over. If that wasn't true, then what did that say about her parents at all?"There's actually a really simple way to get the answer," Nicholas said. He had always been decisive in everything except romance. "You and your dad can do a DNA test."A honk sounded behind them.Only then did Nicholas drive the car forward."I'll think about it." Sierra already had an idea in mind. She wanted to probe Jubilee for information first. Talking face-to-face was the best way to read a reaction, but since they were in different cities, she could only talk to Jubilee over video.While they were talking, the same subject was being discussed somewhere el

Nicholas chatted idly with Sierra, saying whatever came to mind just to distract her and ease her mood.Buzz! Buzz!Suddenly, his phone vibrated.Both looked at where the sound was coming from. Nicholas took his phone from his pocket. A faint change of expression flashed through his eyes when he saw the caller, then he hung up without hesitation."Who was that?" Sierra asked."It's just a sales call," Nicholas answered.Sierra doubted it.Nicholas sounded completely serious, though. "I bought something a while back. Ever since then, I have kept getting nuisance calls. I can't even block all of their numbers."Sierra didn't think much of it and simply took his words as the truth.The next second, his phone sounded again. This time, it was a text message. The sender was his father. There was only one line. [Be back within half an hour, or I'll agree to cooperate with John Henderson.]Nicholas fell silent."If you have something to do, you should go," Sierra said. She could

John took the bag from Sierra's hand and set it aside. His sleeves were already rolled up, showing part of his forearm as he picked up the fork and reached for the closest dish.It tasted good.It would be a waste to leave this for Nicholas. "John," Sierra felt he was pushing it."It's fine, let him eat." Nicholas didn't care at all. He stood up and went to get himself another plate and fork. "There's so much food here, one more person isn't going to ruin it."John stopped eating for a second.The way that sounded... Why did it feel like he was the outsider here?A rush of anger rose out of nowhere, and the words slipped out before John could stop them. "You're in such a rush to kick me out. Afraid I'll find some dirty little secret between you two?" "Not everyone is like you," Sierra shot back. "Nicholas isn't like Pamela!"John's eyes grew even darker.Nicholas…The tone she used when she said his name was so affectionate.He raised his eyes, his tone slow and heavy wit

John was basically telling Nicholas that he wouldn't divorce Sierra. However, things between them were already this bad… If John refused to divorce Sierra, how was any of this supposed to end?Sierra wasn't someone who could tolerate a single hint of unfaithfulness. There was no way she would stay married to John.But what if…John had always been hard to read.After turning it over in his mind, Nicholas pulled out his phone and sent Sierra a message. [Are you busy?]Sierra: [What is it?]Nicholas: [I suddenly thought of something. What if John refuses to divorce you?]Even after the cooling-off period, if one side refused to sign, the only road left was to file for divorce in a court. However, John had a top-tier legal team behind him. Winning against him in court would be nearly impossible.Sierra: [?]Then, Sierra sent a voice message. "No way."If they didn't divorce, how was Pamela supposed to walk into the spotlight? If Pamela couldn't do that, how could she ever

Jubilee's reaction when Sierra asked about her biological father was obviously off.There was no time for Sierra to keep digging into it. Jubilee urged her to go to bed. "Alright, get some shut-eye. Think about it slowly after you wake up."Sierra really was exhausted. She said good night and hung up.After saying bye, Jubilee finally relaxed once the call disconnected. With all that pent-up tension, she opened Anna's chat and sent a voice message. "Are you still asleep, you idiot? Do you know Sierra almost tricked me just now?"She knew Anna couldn't reply. "Good thing I'm unbelievably smart and caught on in time. I don't care. When you wake up, you owe me compensation for emotional damage, or I'm never letting you forget this!"If Jubilee hadn't noticed something off in Sierra's behavior, she really would have fallen for it. Sierra was born after Anna and Lucas got married. Even if Sierra really did find out she wasn't Lucas's daughter, she would never just go to him and
