Chapter 201

Meanwhile, John was sitting across from Solomon in the reception room on the second floor.Solomon said to Joven and his two bodyguards, "Give us some space. I need to talk to John in private."Joven nodded. "Of course."He then left with the bodyguards.Solomon turned and glanced at Kenneth, then looked back at John. "Do you want your friend to leave, too? You probably don't want him to hear what we're about to talk about."Kenneth gave John a side-eye, clearly leaving the choice to John."It's fine," John replied calmly. "I'm not like you. I don't have that many shady secrets.""I hope you can still say that later." Solomon chuckled slightly, a faint smile on his face.John's personality was the complete opposite of his. John never cared if anyone had dirt on him, and he did not mind if others knew his weak spots. John asked directly, "Why did you meet with Sierra?""Just wanted to talk," Solomon answered, as if it was nothing out of the ordinary."You needed this much se

John said nothing. He simply stared at Solomon."If you don't want to talk to me, I'll be leaving," Solomon said.He stood and pushed up his glasses before walking out of the reception room at an unhurried pace. John stayed silent even when Solomon completely vanished from the meeting room.Kenneth hesitated as he thought over everything that had just happened. "John..."That photo had hit too hard. He was really afraid that John would be consumed by those memories."What do you think Solomon is trying to achieve by doing all this?" John said. He thought and thought, but none of the answers he came up with felt right.Kenneth blinked.There was a trace of doubt inside him. He didn't expect John to remain so calm even in such a time. In the past, his mindset would already have crumbled."Why are you looking at me like that?" John shot him a glance."Solomon simply said too much just now," Kenneth said, not brave enough to bring up the details. He was afraid John was only pret

When John and Kenneth left the meeting room, they saw Solomon talking with Morgan from Origin Games.John took out his phone and made a call. On the other side, Morgan noticed the call, and his expression changed slightly. He nodded politely to Solomon. "Sorry, I need to take a call.""Please do," Solomon said courteously.Morgan walked a short distance away before answering. "Mr. Henderson."Watching from farther off, John kept his eyes on them and spoke in an even tone into the phone. "I can take Origin Games to another level. How far it goes will depend on your own choice."Hearing this, Morgan instinctively looked around, and his eyes finally settled on John.Solomon followed his line of sight and met John's eyes.John lowered the phone from his ear and hung up. He turned his eyes away and left with Kenneth, moving out of their sight."Mr. Solomon." Morgan had understood the hint and turned down Solomon's earlier request. "I'm afraid I can't agree to what you just asked. Th

"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 didn't say anything more."The lucky draw segment has ended. The prizes will be distributed to each department tomorrow." The host's voice rang out, announcing the end of this part of the party and the start of another. "Next, Mr. Snyder will announce the rankings for tonight's performances."Just as Kenneth had said, Sierra's performance took second place.The prize money was five thousand dollars.As the main performer, Sierra went up to receive the award.Morgan handed her the trophy. His attitude toward her clearly held more endearment than the one who won first place. He even added a polite line. "That's a very good performance. I hope you take first place next time.""Thank you,

"I wanted to check on Mr. Henderson's injury," Sierra said to John. She didn't call Solomon her brother-in-law, instead choosing a more distant form of address. "He was hurt because of me. I have to...""I'll have people take care of his injury," John said as he glanced at the cut on her ankle, his brows furrowed together as he finished with words meant to draw a clear line. "This is our family matter. You do not need to concern yourself, Ms. Bell."He turned and walked away with Kenneth, leaving the hotel.Sierra stood there for a long time, as if something heavy was crushing her heart."There's nothing more here for now. Go to the hospital on behalf of Origin Games and check on Mr. Solomon's condition," Morgan said as he kept his voice low, aware that there were still others on stage. "Tell me if anything happens right away. Once I finish dealing with things here, I'll go over."Sierra agreed with a nod.Morgan asked his secretary to take Sierra to the hospital.As she left, t

John saw the doubt in Sierra's eyes and took the initiative to explain to her, "If you modified the chandelier ahead of time and installed a special trigger activable with a remote control, it's easy to cause something like this." Sierra believed him, but she really didn't want to discuss this with him anymore. "Do you have any proof?""Robin is looking.""Then you don't have any," Sierra said on purpose. "Whatever fight you and your brother have going on is your own business. I'm not getting involved with that. But right now, he's hurt because he saved me, and I don't want to hear you badmouth him in front of me."John's expression became darker.Sierra pushed him back a little. "Move. I'm heading out.""What if there's proof?" John asked."So what if you have it? Does that clash with the fact he saved me?" Sierra forced everything down inside and met him with the coldest words she could manage.She had noticed what had been happening recently. She knew John still hadn't give

"It's getting late. You should go back and rest," Solomon said gently to Sierra, not noticing John at the door. "I'll have Joven take you home.""It's fine, I'll just grab a cab," Sierra refused.Solomon's smile was faint as he said, "It's dangerous to take a cab this late. I'll feel better if Joven drives you."Sierra was about to refuse again, but she forced herself to agree when she looked up and saw John's dark eyes on her. "I'll take your offer, then..""Again, we're family. Enough with the formality," Solomon replied.Sierra told him she would come see him again tomorrow before picking up her purse and walking out. She passed right by John without so much as a glance, heading straight down the hall with Joven until the two of them disappeared from the hallway.John looked from the side of his eyes.Kenneth lowered his voice. "Want me to stop her?""No need," John answered casually."John, you're here." Solomon greeted him, eyes soft and face pale as he lay on the hospita

Chapter 208

Solomon knew John was capable of complex schemes and could be quite ruthless with them, but he had not expected John to stay this perceptive after everything that had happened."She's just someone unimportant. Why would I worry?" Solomon stayed perfectly calm as he picked up his phone, lit the screen, and glanced at it. "I'm just a little tired and wanted to see what time it is."John's eyes gave a slight, mocking look at Solomon. It was sad to see a man too afraid to confront his emotions."Stop using Sierra." His tone was even, his dark eyes impossible to read. "Otherwise, I won't hesitate to drag someone else in as well."With that, John turned and walked out, as steady and indifferent as ever. Only after he and Kenneth were completely out of sight did Solomon pick his phone up again and make a call, a chill in his gaze that he did not usually show.-In the parking lot, Kenneth sat behind the wheel. He glanced at the quiet man beside him and tried to ease the mood. "You men

"You can give up already. No permission from me," Tommy said to John with utter seriousness through his watch."Your mom's company had an accident at their anniversary party tonight," John said, deciding to sacrifice his son just so he could get in. "She was badly hurt and didn't get treated before coming home."Tommy's heart skipped a beat. "Weren't you there?""The chandelier fell. I was too far away to get to her in time," John replied, his voice grave.Tommy went quiet.Normally, he could spot the holes in a story right away. But his head was now full of images of Sierra getting hurt, and his thoughts were not as sharp as usual. "Really?""Really," John said, sounding serious.Tommy hung up and immediately called Sierra. The phone on the sofa buzzed and buzzed, but Sierra didn't hear it as she was still in the shower. John, standing at the door, could hear it clearly. His hand tightened around his phone without him noticing.He hoped Sierra would be in the shower or blow-

Chapter 210

Sierra blinked when he realized it was John.The tension in her chest shifted into annoyance. "Why are you here?"She instinctively glanced toward the door as she remembered something. She had asked the landlord to switch to a smart lock so he could not just open the door with a key. Had he hacked it?"Don't look at me like that. Tommy gave me the code," John said as he handed her phone back to her, speaking slowly and clearly. "You can ask him if you don't believe me."Sierra took the phone, still doubtful.There really was a missed call from Tommy on the screen. She tapped the number and called back, but her wariness toward John didn't ease at all."Mommy!" Tommy answered right away, his worry impossible to hide. "Are you alright?"Sierra had no idea what John had told him as she blinked. "What?""Dad said you were badly hurt. I called you, and you didn't pick up, so I gave him the code so he could go in and check on you," Tommy said as he laid everything out in one breath. "
